و لقد کرّمنابنی آدم و حملناھم فی البرّو والبحرورزقناھم من الطیّبات و فضّلناھم علی ا کثیرا" ممن خلقنا تفضیلا"
آیہ ۷۰، سورہ بنی اسرائیل
And surely WE have honored the children of Adam and WE carry them in the land and the sea and WE have given them good things and WE have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most of those whom we have created.
So God has made human beings "superior" to , say animals. We have been given intellect to use for example to differentiate between right and wrong. How we use that is what is important. I am sure you have heard of the judgement in Pakistan of the two men who cut off the nose and ears of a woman for keeping the honor of the family (the woman wanted to marry against the wishes of the family) Not unusual in Pakistan or for that matter among the Muslims of other countries.
Has that heinous act on the part of these two achieved their goal?
The whole world has come to know of that "bad for the family wish" of the woman.
Appropriately named--Fazeelat bibi, She is bringing more honor to her self and to the women of Pakistan.
Some say that such punishment as ordered by the court for the perpetrators (300K rs. fine +700K to be paid to the victim and also have nose and ears cut off like they did with the woman)is uncivilized, barbaric (as if the act itself was not barbaric) and belongs to medieval times, not the 21st century. Does it?
Pray tell how we consider ourselves more civilized than the medieval times.
USA statistics indicate rise of murders after capital punishment was lifted off and then started falling after '77 when it was re-instated in some states.
Those of you who think appropriate punishment is not deterrant compare such statistics.
And if all appropriate cases are dealt with properly the fear of death is not something any human being is willing to face easily and it will be helpful in reducing the incidence of such crimes. So, I do not think the judgement is not current with our times. There are situations where being lenient for any reason is dangerous. Have we not seen those perpetrators who as soon as they are released from the prison they go for their target at the first opprtunity and the society loses another life unnecessarily.. I am not saying that cutting off nose and ears of the perpetrators is going to eliminate that kind of crime in those areas of Pakistan but it will send a powerful message to those who are thinking of doing it again. That is why Allah has specifically mentioned that let not the believers take pity on such punishments and let a group of believers watch such punishment. The creator knows the weaknesses of His creations
