If you are looking to learn Islam and its various principles then you will love to learn about the concept of Blood Money or Diya in Islam. It is a typical Islamic terminology that refers to monetary compensation, which is paid by the offender i.e murderer etc., or members of his family to the kin group or family of a sufferer. The Holy Qur’an explains the law of Qisas that is retaliation in detail however, advises that the family of the sufferer should prefer compensation that is Diyya instead of Qisas or retaliation.
