Faman baddalahu baAAda ma samiAAahu fainnama ithmuhu AAala allatheena yubaddiloonahu inna Allaha sameeAAun AAaleem

The aya says:
Therefore, whoever changes him (the will) after he had heard him (the will), so, breaking his (the will) law is on those that exchange him (the will). Verily, the GOD is all hearing, all knowing.

My personal note:
This Aya is an explicit order to not tamper with the wills that people leave behind. A will becomes a binding right to the ones to whom it is left and all should respect it.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Walakum fee alqisasi hayatun ya olee alalbabi laAAallakum tattaqoon

The Aya says:
And belongs to you life in the rule of equality of the crime to the punishment, O people who resort to the substance inside(unbiased brain and heart). Perhaps you guard yourselves (through consciousness).

My personal note:
The Aya says that the rule of making the committer of a crime against a fellow human meet the same punishment is a source of life to people who are conscious.

The Aya addresses the OLEE AL ALBAB and that means the people who ultimately resort to the useful substance that is inside them to reach the conclusions. I considered this useful substance the unbiased brain and heart.

Note: the root is Qaf-Sad-Sad and it means cutting in conrete as in cutting hair or other things. In abstract it is also used in telling a story because it is a cutting of the bigger story of life.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى الْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالأُنثَى بِالأُنثَى فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَاء إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ ذَلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ فَمَنِ اعْتَدَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَهُ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo kutiba AAalaykumu alqisasu fee alqatla alhurru bilhurri walAAabdu bilAAabdi walontha bilontha faman AAufiya lahu min akheehi shayon fattibaAAun bilmaAAroofi waadaon ilayhi biihsanin thalika takhfeefun min rabbikum warahmatun famani iAAtada baAAda thalika falahu AAathabun aleem

The Aya says:
O YE who made selves safe (in GOD and his message), just retribution was written on you (plural) in the killed. The free, in the free, and the slave/servant, in the slave/servant and the female, in the female. Therefore, whoever, was forgiven by his brother an entity, so follow footsteps by what is recognised (as good) and deliver to him (the one that forgave) in goodness. This is to lighten burden on you from your nurturer, and mercy. So, whoever oversteps boundary after that, therefore belongs to him, painful suffering.

My personal note:
ALQISAS is the rule that whoever commits a crime against a fellow human will have to face the exact same punishment. Here, it points to the killing where the rule is to be applied according to this Aya.

The free, in the free, and the slave in the slave and the female in the female mean that the person that committed the crime has to pay the price for it, whether he was free, slave/servant or female.

The word Qisas that is used in this Aya means what is taken should be given back or something equal to the loss. This Aya actually deals with the compensation part due to some key words in it that point away from killing in place of killing. Those key words are "the killed" which points only to the loss but without mention of the killers. Another main key word is forgiven an entity or forgiven something. This cannot apply to killing the killer, because you cannot forgive something, you either kill him or let him live. This points to some compensation other than the killing for the killing.

The Aya ends up asking the family of the one that was killed to forgive, at least something and asking for the person that is forgiven to follow that act with the same acts of kindness to all people especially the family of the person that was killed.
