Abstract

The people of the West strongly criticize the Islamic Shariah rules and punishments and generally object that the punishments found in the Islamic Shariah are very harsh and barbaric, are against basic human rights and are a disrespect to human dignity. While the reality is quite the opposite. If a real analysis of these Shariah rules and punishments is done, then the fact will be clear that the Almighty has set the limits and restrictions on various serious types of crimes because there is no solution to the problem as these heinous crimes are the cause of death for the society and the cause of destruction of world peace. Contray to the serious nature of these crimes, these rules and punishments are not strict at all.Rather they are in accordance with the requirements of wisdom and reason.

These rules and punishments are found in the Quran, the Torah and other Samawiyya books. Current international law and major Western philosophical law object to the death penalty for murder, while the Bible, like the Qur'an, contains strict instructions to punish the murderer.

Punishment is said to be severe when it is more severe than the evil of crime and is a source of cruelty to mankind. If punishments are not harsh then the aim of nullifying the crime and perpetrators cannot be achieved. Therefore such punishments should be implemented which require the perpetrator to hate the perpetrator of the crime and the path of evil to be closed forever.

Therefore, the Shari'ah rules and regulations are not really punishments but they make man, a righteous man and bring peace and order to the whole world.
