the Quran definitely discourages capital punishment ------- RK
-
OK... I dont know arabic as I have already told you. I am getting this from translations. Besides, why do you always ask for proof of meanings of words?? This is just like the issue we had with "arab" meaning "arab".
I will give you various translations of 2179
Equivalence is a life saving law for
you, O you who possess intelligence,
that you may be righteous. (Translated by Rashad Khalifa)Through equivalent execution, you will be protecting life, O you who possess intelligence,
that you may be righteous. (Translated by Edip Y?ksel)And through equivalence you will be protecting life, O people of understanding,
that you may be righteous. (Translated by "The Monotheist Group"In the Law of Equality there is (saving of) Life to you, o ye men of understanding;
that ye may restrain yourselves. (Translated by Yusuf Ali)Dear Brother
As I have always told you RK was a Cheat and Edip is his followers. Quran does not allow me to trust such persons.
Yusaf Ali translate it "Equality". Equality is not equal to Equivalence.
Mangoes are equal to mangoes
Mangoes are not equal to dollars but may be equivalent to dollars.
Equality is somewhat acceptable but not Equivalence. Please in future never quote illiterate persons.
Regards -
(217 O you who believe, equivalence is
the law decreed for you when
dealing with murder--the free
for the free, the slave for the slave,
the female for the female. If one is
pardoned by the victim's kin,
an appreciative response is in order,
and an equitable compensation
shall be paid. This is an alleviation
from your Lord and mercy. Anyone
who transgresses beyond this incurs
a painful retribution.(2179) Equivalence is a life saving law for
you, O you who possess intelligence,
that you may be righteous.The Koran could be talking about revenge killings, very common among the tribes which usually ends up out of control. But I really do not see your point. What exactly are you trying to say?

Brother Q_s is trying to refute the fact that the Quran discourages capital punishment, and I am giving a counter-arguement for that. God definitely condemns revenge/"honor" killings. Revenge/"honor" killing is a form of aggression.
Note the following in (217
"...If one is pardoned by the victim's kin, an appreciative response is in order,
and an equitable compensation shall be paid." -

RegardsThis is not the first knee-jerk nonsence produced by Q_student. He is splitting the literary hair of a word, yet unable to comprehend that such a literary nuance has no relevancy in this argument.
This will be my last post as a reply to this person.

Peace,
Edippeace Exactly. Dear Q_student, I think just because you oppose Rashad Khalifa you attack all of his views. If a Bahai comes to you and says "worhship God alone", do you object just because he is a Bahai???
@ Edip
Please respond to the PM which I sent to you about salaat/namaz

It is the point where you are misguided by Richard Kalif alias Rashid Khalifa.
Quran says631
(631) O Prophet, when the hypocrites come to you, they say, "We bear witness that you are indeed Allah's Messenger." Yes, Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger, but Allah bars witness that these Hypocrites are utter liars.
It is clearly says that a "shahaadah" of a munaafiq is not acceptable though it may be 100% correct.Because he must be speaking the truth to cheat and dodge the people

I also believe that there is no capital punishment in the quraan. This verse, IMO, has nothing to do with people. Does it mean if a slave of mine is killed by a free, the free should not be killed for him and only a slave should take the punishment?!
Moeover, means equivalnce, compensation. From the root is derived the word / story, which is the verbal equivalent of what really happend in reality. Aslo in the qur'aan we have the verse 1864Moses said "That was what we were seeking after" So they went back on their footsteps, following (the path they had come).
Which means they made an equal journy back on their footsteps. -

It's again circular argument. You do not redo the steps when it's "following the traces", nor do you reenact the events when you retell a story, otherwise, qasaas would mean copy. It's not. It's equivalent. Otherwise tell me what's the meaning of ? Is it to excute a "free man" if the victim is a free man, irrespective of who the murderer is?
If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever) And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him.
Where's capital punishment here?

Dear Samia
I think you are struck up.
What is the meaning of Qisaas as per your understanding.
Please provide the evidence for it .Thanks -

Why should I answer your questions and give evidence if you do not bother to reply to the question I asked you twice? You are the one who brought up verse 2178 without explaining what you understand of qasaas in its context. You are not debating, but sitting like a chief inspector asking questions and demanding proof!

I have said this a few times.... The discussions lead nowhere.
Q_student, you have proved your point regarding RK, and your posts are becoming ruder and ruder. You label people with shirk, call them liers, and hypocrites, and I have proven to you how much of a hypocrite you've been on this forum. I think you should move on.
Like I said before, there are bigger lies than those RK stated. I don't see you attacking them with the same passion as you do RK's.
If you really believe these people are mushrik then shouldn't you follow 6108?
Look it up yourself.... you're not worth the effort of cutting and pasting the verse, you clearly do not read posts and replies properly.

1I did not translate them (probably then they might have become my answer) because I am 100% sure you know arabic (as I have seen in certain posts before)
2We have basic difference in Qisaas which you said it is equivalence and recompensation (if I correctly remember).So its meanings were first to be established.Anyway ,thank you for your input.

Samia brought a good point. The verse says
2.178. O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty.
It means compensation. However it is not clear how the compensation was divided among the criterias mentioned. Maybe there was a common law about the price to be paid for free men and free women and slaves. But it is not about capital punishment since you don't persecute except the killer. What difference does it make who the killer killed if he would be executed? Obviously its about compensation of some sort.
It could also mean this punishment should be applied to anyone regardless of his social status. The Verse is still not clear as is most theocratic verses in the Koran.
