Qur'anic verses - The to Right to Life:

Islam respects life, and man was distinguished to live and to enjoy life with great honour in order to enforce his corresponding duties and responsibilities. Thus, a man's life is a trust given to him, not to endanger or cause harm to his life, or any life. God said:

If any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.
[Qur'an
5:32]
