Why carry out punishments in public ?

[Amatullah]

you bring forward the most violent of circumstances in your argument, murder, rape kidnapping etc

Well, the severe punishments are for most violent crimes.

Other less violent crimes have less punishments, and majority of people would not get these punishments because majority are law-abiding, decent, and hard-working citizens, the ones who get it are a minority.

And I don't know why you mention (the poor, ignorant and women), you think the rich and men don't get punished ??

Well you are wrong, because there is no difference, rich or poor, women or man.

Also, I don't know where you got this (gauging eyes out) from, I never heard of it.

And for your info, it is not just blind faith, we Muslims don't just believe with faith, conviction has a big role in our belief, and I believe this is best way to keep crime almost to 0%, and for most people who are law-abiding citizens to live in peace, and to keep society clean.

If a man or woman insist on causing corruption on earth, and terrify people and make them live in fear for their properity and lives, then they diserve the punishment they get, all they do is cause distruction on earth.

They were warned, and there is no reason for them to do such horrible crimes and make other peoples lives misearble and insist on it except their evilness and love of corruption, no one forced them to do those crimes.

Allah does not love who do mischief .

Allah said (translation of the meaning): "

But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world, and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupts). (28:77)


" and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know."
(2:216)

I am not here to argue or to force my belief on anyone, there is no compulsion in Islam, we are just explaining the ruling and wisdom behind it , our duty is to spread the message of Islam, and Allah is the one who guides the hearts.

May Allah guide you to the right path.
