    Hi PeacefulMuslim

    The punishment which seems to you are cruel are good for me even at present time. The way I looked at them is the perfect way to eliminate crime. Can we implement these laws in any of the so called Muslim country? We can't implement these laws because we don't have any country which is based on Allah Taala laws. We can't just implement the punishment without building a society which is based on equality justice, welfare for unemployed, job opportunities for the people who wanted to work. The society where nobody go to sleep hungry, this is what the social system Allah Taala has given us in Qur'an, when we impleted the system of Allah Taala than we are justified to implement cutting of thieves hands and again look at the verses where it says to be merciful if you see that they want to change. It will be cruel if you cut the hands of hungry poor man who steel the bread to feed himself or his children.

    Pologmy is made lawful by Allah with limits are very well defined in Qur'an. Mormons practice pologmy, the only one group which I remember right now.

      You should live in Afghanistan when Talbian ruled it then. They were textbook Suni Muslims implementing these type of laws of cutting peoples hands and legs and stoning. Is this the system God described in the Quran. HELL NO!! It may seem perfect way to eliminate crime in your opinion but Gods Law is Gods Law we cannot change that. Please explain in the Quran how God is telling us to follow the law of cutting off peoples hand when they steal. It's not a law God is telling us to do. PERIOD!!!!

      PEACE

        Thank you for suggestion. The solution just delete the verses which are regarding cutting hands from Qur'an.

        I believe there is no more room for any discussion or debate.

          SaLaM

          I used to steal. I have stolen some expensive stuff like gold and silver and some just for the heck of it like chocklates ( i beleived that the supermaket was being unfair by charging that much price for it. So i decided to steal and share it ith those who couldnt afford it. Like robin hood. D ) If my hands were cut off, i woulnt have been able to earn a living for my family. If my hands were cut off, i dont beleive i would be here praising God so much. Cutting of hands is a puinishment for those like to stone monkeys. Are you one of them KGB?

            Read what I posted and try to understand it. If you don't understand than go ahead and delete the verses of Qur'an which says to cut theives hands. I will not pick and choose the message. I accept the whole message.

                  Jaxal,

                  If you believe in killing people for denouncing islam, why should a punishment for cutting off hands be denied to you, especially when that is what the quran says?

                    hi 2 pac,

                    It's merely a marker on the hand to estabilish who is a theif and not to decapitate a hand is cruel and barbaric. !

                    what about other rules, some of them that i have quoted?

                    should we be following the principles/message behind them and make up appropriate rules or merely follow the same rules which was told to people of a very primitive age?

                    and yeah, if God sent Quran now, would it have appropriate rules or would it be the same?

                      u think chopping a thief's hand is better than imprisonment?
                      and polygamy, yeah, they are specific for mothers of orphans etc, and like i said, at that time, becoz of the battle, most of the men were dead leaving behind orphans and widows, and those days, most women didnt earn their livelihood and required to be taken care of by male members.
                      applies today?

                      so, are u saying if God sent Quran now, it would have exactly the same rules to the dot?

                          Hi PeacefulMuslim

                          I am not saying anything. This is the punishment given in Qur'an for steeling. The question what would be the law can't be answered because none of us know the answer.

                          I only commented on what we have in Qur'an. You are free to call these punishments prescribed by Creator Lord The Most Wise - All Knowing - Most Merciful as cruel. I will accept them and please read carefully what I said about implementing these laws again.

                                Please study the verse and not just look at a translation and assume its the right one. If you think cutting off someones hand is a punishment in the Quran then you may as well stick to translations of the Quran and not study the arabic behind the text. Please be open minded and study the Quran objectively and not be stuck in your own way. We're all here to learn brother.

                                what about other rules, some of them that i have quoted?

                                Gods laws are clear in the Quran and are part of the literal verses as God stated and should not be taken metaphorically but literally. The Quran is for past present and future so your idea of making rules up ourself for this age is not supported by Quran at all.

                                    Jaxal,

                                    I have not once said that. Whose missing the point now?

                                    Yes, you have stated such a thing. Jaxal do you believe you should get your hands cut off?

                                    I used to steal.

                                    You have openly admitted to stealing. When will you report yourself to the authorities and endure the rightful punishment you deserve?

                                    i beleived that the supermaket was being unfair by charging that much price for it. So i decided to steal and share it ith those who couldnt afford it. Like robin hood.

                                    You say you steal because of unfair prices and to share with those who have none.

                                    1 - You were stealing things people could live without .

                                    2 - Does Allah condone stealing from the rich to give to the poor?

                                    3 - You say cutting hands is "a puinishment for those like to stone monkeys". What about those who shoot others for denouncing islam or saying that people can leave islam? What makes the monkey stoner different from the sharp shooter?

                                      I will accept the verses at present time too. I am not intelligent enough or have all the knowledge to call God laws cruel. Again you did not read the implementing these punishments.

                                      Do I have to post the Tafseer for everything I post?

                                        hi 2pac,

                                        appropriate?

                                        492 Never should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due) If one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased's family, unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged to a people with whom ye have treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation should be paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For those who find this beyond their means, (is prescribed) a fast for two months running by way of repentance to Allah. for Allah hath all knowledge and all wisdom.
