Abel in Islam
In the view of some liberal movements within Islam, Abel (called Habil in the Qur'an) is the primary Qur'anic proponent of pacifism and non-violence. In the Qur'anic version of the story, Abel refuses to fight back to stop Cain from murdering him. Abel's words imply that by accepting death through pacifism, he is being forgiven of his sins. (See Similarities between the Bible and the Qur'an).
