A Saudi father pardoned his son’s killer if he successfully memorized the Holy Quran, a local newspaper reported on Saturday.
Rabi’a al-Dousary, father of the slain young man named Abdullah, promised to pardon the convicted felon, Faisal al-Ameri, if he successfully memorized all of the Holy Quran before leaving prison, al-Yawm Saudi newspaper reported.
Ameri was sentenced to death for killing Dousary during a quarrel that erupted in their neighborhood.
The Higher Committee of Correction in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom has persuaded the father to forgive and pardon Ameri.
The father, who refused to receive any blood money, to teach the Ameri a far more valuable lesson, insisted on one condition: the killer to fully memorize the Quran before his acquittal from prison.
This is the true passion of Islam, This is the true mercy from believer of Allah, This is the lesson every Muslim brother and sister need to learn.. To be believer we must be kind and merciful to all humanity,

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing on him) said
Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith. (Muslim)
Allah will not give mercy to anyone, except those who give mercy to other creatures. (Abdullah b. Amr: Abu Dawud & Tirmidhi)
