Ayah: 27

۞ وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ ٱبۡنَيۡ ءَادَمَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ إِذۡ قَرَّبَا قُرۡبَانٗا فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنۡ أَحَدِهِمَا وَلَمۡ يُتَقَبَّلۡ مِنَ ٱلۡأٓخَرِ قَالَ لَأَقۡتُلَنَّكَۖ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

(27) Recite for them ˹Muhammad˺ the notable news of the two sons of Adam^[1160] truthfully^[1161] when they each made out an offering, it was accepted from one but not the other. He ˹the latter˺ said: “I shall willingly kill you!” He ˹the former˺ replied: “Indeed Allah accepts only from the Mindful”.

[1160] This story (believed to be that of Cain and Abel, or Qābīl and Habīl (cf. Ibn Kathīr and al-Shinqīṭī)) encapsulates the all too familiar human struggle between good and evil. While numerous lessons can be drawn from this story, it all boils down to the fact that when a person is so weak as not be able to prevail over their own self then this only leads to wickedness, not the least of which is committing murder, and in the end to regret and sorrow. The moral of the story can indeed be expanded beyond the singular into the collective and remains ever relevant.
[1161] Bi al-ḥaqq exactly as it happened without addition, deletion or alteration. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī)
