Commentary
The two sons of Adam, Hābil and Qābil, offered sacrifice in the Name of Allāh, Hābil’s sacrifice was accepted due to his sincerity and good intention, whereas Qābil burnt in the fire of jealousy and he killed Hābil; thus he introduced a wrong act for the people to come, consequently he also shares the burden of crime and sin of any murder.
