Islam recognizes that morality and ethics are the roots of every good society. Shari’ah, the Islamic Law, is a community moral law used to manage and govern a Muslim society and to control the behavior of its members to ensure its safety. The basic rules of Shari’ah are divine in nature.
Here are some divine examples:
In the robbery and theft cases, the maximum penalty is hand-cutting. It applies after the consideration of many factors such as track record and whether the theft was made for profit. In some cases, such as stealing food because of severe hunger or to prevent death, there may not be a penalty.
For adultery, the penalty is death and for fornication is 100 lashes. The penalty purifies the person from the sin in this world and saves him or her from the punishment in the Hereafter.
Well… I wonder what this fish had made…. already killed … and now cutting its hands….
