Things are easier said than done - Part 2

Okay, as I put it, I'm in the lazy mood now.

Tomorrow is the last day of 2016.

So, I'm just going to post this rather interesting ongoing debate between commentators in my previous posting,

Things are easier said than done

M Zin,

//Why quote ISIS whose summary kilings universally condemded as murder,//

Why NOT quote ISIS?

Many of their practices have solid foundation in Islamic jurisprudence.

As you can see from the above example by Annie, stoning an adulteress is EXACTLY what is in Islamic jurisprudence.

Another example is the cutting off of limbs.

Or how about the blood of kafir harbi?

And so the list goes...

So, what is the difference between the practices of ISIS and that which is in Islamic jurisprudence?

ISIS is an example of what many non-Muslims, and no doubt many Muslims themselves, fear about Islamic jurisprudence.

And Hadi Awang is seen as nothing more than an advocate of ISIS ideology and ISIS practices.

In fact, I am willing to bet that most of the Malaysians fighting for ISIS in Syria and Iraq started off as PAS supporters.

  1. Hudud is a very small area of Muslim jurisprudence, Sdr Gladiator
    and as explained above that unlike ISIS there are legal processes through courts before the Kadi judges passes sentence. We can continue this doscussion here on LoA, and OK if you already passed your judgement

    Not ISIS not even Fiqh laws however give a comprehensive picture of Islam Syaria which more emphasises direct and personal Tauhid conections with Allah SWT, and Sufism to strive for best character among others.

    M Zin
    Alor Gajah DPH
  2. The "comprehensive picture of Islam" is justice and loving-kindness by means of deliberating on the "maqasid al-syariah" to mould and mend civil society.
  3. M Zin,

    //Hudud is a very small area of Muslim jurisprudence//

    So, because it is a small area, we should not discuss it?

    Sounds more like you are trying to avoid discussing it or even drawing attention to it :)

    Never mind that barbaric practices are being carried out in the name of Islam?

    So, what happens when your so-called "legal processes" are heavily skewed towards punishment as in the case of ISIS?

    Let's be honest, the people who run ISIS probably have a much better understanding of Islamic jurisprudence than you do :)

    Many of those ISIS people are very likely graduates of the same universities as Hadi Awang and others in PAS.

    Will you be one of those who would stone "your lil sis" Annie if she was found guilty of adultery?

    Gladiator
  4. ISIS is not supported by Muslims in general, Sdtr Gladiator
    and their killings mainly warfare expediency which is not Islamic. Just ask your Muslim neighbours

    With or without your support majority Muslims want Bill 355
    ( although will not pass for political reasons?)

    M Zin
    Alor Gajah DPH
  5. M Zin,

    //ISIS is not supported by Muslims in general//

    Well, the punishments ISIS hands out like stoning for adultery seem to be supported by Muslims in Malaysia.

    So, will you stone your "lil sis" Annie if she was found guilty of adultery under Islamic law?

    Gladiator
  6. Yes in-sya-Allah, Sdr Gladiator
    subject to due court process and really against current social sanctions

    The Prophet SAW reminded:
    " What destroyed your predecessors was just that when a person of rank among them committed a theft they left him alone,
    and when a weak one of them committed a theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment on him. I swear by Allah that if Fatimah daughter of Muhammad should steal, I would have her hand cut off"

    -- Hadith Sahih Ibn Majah
    ( Book 40 on Hudud)

    M Zin
    Alor Gajah DPH
  7. Yes I was distracted here from Maqasid al-Syaria, TQ Sdr ANON 17:43
    which are the highest and more comprehensive 5 objectives of Syaria way of life for the biggest communuity

    Fiqh prosesses support the objectives

    M Zin
    Alor Gajah DPH
  8. M Zin,

    //Yes in-sya-Allah, Sdr Gladiator
    subject to due court process and really against current social sanctions//

    So, you are saying that you will kill your "lil sis" Annie for adultery, right?

    We have already agreed that "due court process" have been met.

    I have no idea what you mean by "and really against current social sanctions" in that sentence.

    It sounds like a jumble of words and no matter how many times I read it, that phrase is meaningless.

    You need a reality check in regards to your views.

    You are going to be involved in killing a person for a matter which does not involve you at all.

    You are not your "lil sis" Annie who committed the adultery, you are not your "lil sis" Annie's husband, you are not the person with whom your "lil sis" Annie committed the adultery with.

    And yet, you would kill your "lil sis" Annie? For a matter which is none of your business?

    You need to re-assess your sense of values and humanity.

    Do you understand why non-Muslims think your beliefs are primitive and barbaric?

    Gladiator
  9. You asked and I explained above, Sdr Gladiator
    Due court process(?) will be judged case by case

    You are entitled to your beliefs and the majority will in-sya-Allah carry on with Syaria

    M Zin
    Alor Gajah DPH
  10. M Zin,

    //You asked and I explained above//

    Explain why you are getting involved in a matter which has nothing to do with you?

    Explain why you are going to kill your "lil sis" Annie when it is none of your business what she does with her life?

    You have really not explained anything.

    Gladiator
  11. Sure not personally my business, as sentencing for adultery is by YA Hakim in court. Is that still confusing you?

    M Zin

  12. M Zin,

    //Sure not personally my business//

    So why are you going around killing your "lil sis" Annie, for something which is "not personally your business"?

  13. if anyone doing adultery, its going to cause damage to society
    if you are not punished here by stoning, you will suffer in hereafter
    if you refuse punishment then your relationship with allah can be questioned

  14. Anonymous @ 30 December 2016 at 15:19,

    //if anyone doing adultery, its going to cause damage to society//

    Nonsense!!

    Adultery has been going on for thousands of years and society is still around.

    In fact, countries where adultery is not punishable by stoning to death are, arguably, way more advanced than countries which advocate stoning adulterers.

    //if you are not punished here by stoning, you will suffer in hereafter//

    My unicorn god promised me a great hereafter no matter what I do here.

    //if you refuse punishment then your relationship with allah can be questioned//

    Really?

    So one who is adulterous need to accept being stoned to death?

    Which moron came up with that idea?

    Which moron would want to accept such an idea?

    //therefore dont commit adultery and control your lust//

    That is just your view.

    What if a person wishes to indulge in their lust?

    Are you going to go around imposing your views on him/her by stoning them to death?

    Gladiator
  15. Well, interesting isn't it?
  16. Maybe they can continue the debate here at this fresh posting.

But really. Stoning someone to death is quite scary.


I think it's not only scary for the one being stoned but also scary for the ones who have to cast the stones.

I think I would be traumatised if forced to stone someone to death.

Here, I'm again putting up this video of a depiction on how someone is being stoned to death,


Why can't they just shoot her to death or chop her head off?

I think those are more humane ways of killing someone.

If I'm not mistaken, under hudud, a convicted murderer will have his/her head chopped off.

That seems a better deal.

Is adultery worse than murder?

Sorry. My knowledge of hudud is very sketchy.

  2. Annie,

    //rather interesting ongoing debate between commentators//

    To be honest, I am not engaging in any form of debate with anybody.

    I am genuinely curious as to why some pople who call themselves Muslims insist on portraying Islam as a barbaric and primitive religion, when, in fact, I know that Islam was once at the very forefront of the arts, science and philosophy.

    The social implications of hudud just seem so horrendous that the mind boggles as to why these so-called Muslims insist on introducing it.

    Another worrying trend seems to be that some so-called Muslims think it is perfectly OK to go out and kill someone because someone told them that Allah said so.

    I think you said you were told that such penalties are "Allah's law".

    Does this mean that the mooted changes to Syariah penalties are actually from Allah and not Hadi Awang?

    Or is Hadi Awang actually you-know-who disguised as a Kelantan politician?

    How would we feel if the Jews said that they are killing Palestinians because their god told them it was perfectly OK to kill non-Jews?

    I have noticed that most religions have adapted and modified themselves to fit into a 21st century lifestyle to make themselves relevant and palatable to a more sophisticated audience.

    And yet, we have so-called Muslims who seem to think that going back to the 1400s is a great idea.

    I am reminded of that strange and weird Jewish sect which forbids its adherents from turning on/off electrical switches or milking cows on Sabbath. These beliefs pre-date Islam and are still followed by the faithful!

    I am also reminded that I was told that the Quran was 'contextual" which I took to mean that it was written in the context of the 1400s.

    Surely with so many supposedly clever and learned Islamic scholars, why aren't we interpreting the context of the 1400s in 21st century terms to modernise Islam and make Islam more relevant and more reflective of our lifestyles today?

      such as the haram fatwa against smoking by Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan in 1995

      Most are open to interpretation but some al-Quran verses for example on Hudud are specific and taken literally
      ( NB. OK even here there are contrary but minority ulama views)

      I think that nowadays, most countries we consider to be advanced do not have the death penalty for drugs.

      And I tend to agree that killing a person for mere possession is silly.

      Long jail terms seem to pay better dividends.

    2. M Zin,

      //Clearly from above//

      Sorry, it is not very clear to me.

      Above? Where "above"?

      //I meant kill(?) in the collective legal sense from a court sentence//

      Again, I apologise for my poor understanding of your rather complex English sentence.

      Why does "kill" have a question mark?

      Are you now suggesting you are going to stone your "lil sis" Annie for adultery, but not kill her?

      What does "collective legal sense from a court sentence" mean?

      Please do use simple English sentences as I am not very good at understanding your complex English sentences.

      @ 26 December 2016 at 21:55, I asked you

      //So, will you stone your "lil sis" Annie if she was found guilty of adultery under Islamic law?//

      @ 27 December 2016 at 11:01, you replied

      //Yes in-sya-Allah//

      You also had other words following which I simply did not understand despite reading it several times - //subject to due court process and really against current social sanctions//

      You may wish to take the opportunity to explain those words - in plain simple English, please, if possible because I get
      easily confused from your rather complex English sentences.

      So far, I have determined that you seem quite happy to kill your "lil sis" Annie for her adultery.

      But you are not explaining why you are doing so when you are doing so despite your saying it is none of your business.

      Could you explain why you are willing to kill your "lil sis" Annie for adultery despite it being none of your business as you have stated?

      Again I would appreciate any explanation in plain simple English due to my aforementioned inabilities.

      //Adultery is one of many Syaria crimes//

      Lots of things are Syaria crimes.

      Lots of Syaria crimes seem to have barbaric and/or primitive penalties which, apparently, are "Allah's law".

      Personally, I don't believe many of those crimes and those penalties are "Allah's law" but are, in fact, man-made laws and man-made penalties, just like what Hadi Awang is trying to introduce.

      Of cos, I may be presumptuous in assuming that Hadi Awang is merely a man - he could be You-Know-Who in disguise.

      Anyway, it would be nice if you could address the above questions I have which are puzzling me.

    4. M Zin,

      //wish you happily puzzled then//

      And I thought you were interested in a serious discussion as you seemed so confident in your beliefs.

      //or you find someone else to satisfy you//

      The questions I asked relate to you directly so I don't know why you are asking me to find somebody else to answer questions about your motivations.

      Does this mean that you are refusing to discuss this matter any further?

      I wonder why.

      I mean, you support what Hadi Awang is doing, so I was offering you the opportunity to promote the cause of Islam and why it is appropriate as a model for governance.

      //( many Muslims here apparently understand)//

      The operative word there is "apparently".

      Do you understand why you are killing a person for something which has nothing to do with you?

      I think it is a simple enough question with no catches, no tricks.

      This is your chance to establish your Islamic credentials.

      //Life is complex enough without worrying about the Hereafter//

      I am not discussing the Hereafter, so I don't know why you bring that up.

      //OK you obviously don't appreciate my best attempt at answers//

      Hm.. the problem here is that you are not even trying to answer anything.

      You have been evasive and repeatedly refused to answer simple questions.

      Instead, you use words with individual meanings and when put together in a sentence, the sentence sounds very impressive but it doesn't really mean anything.

      When asked for clarification, you avoid providing any.

      Anyway, if you cannot explain in simple words why you want to kill your "lil sis" Annie for a matter which does not involve you, why do you support such measures and ask that others support them?

      I mean you seem so confident and certain that such an act is the right thing to do but when asked why, you give no answers and resort to making impressive statements which are incomprehensible.

      I suspect that if I was Muslim, you would be using Arabic words and quoting phrases from the Quran to justify your actions - do you remember that fellow from Abu Dhabi I mentioned here some time ago?

      I hope it helps you understand why many non-Muslims are suspicious of Muslims.

      M Zin, I apologise for being so direct in my criticism but it is my longheld belief that Islam in Malaysia has been hijacked by parties who have little regard for what is right or wrong as long as they have power over other Muslims.

      This discussion we have had on just one aspect of hudud is simply more evidence that Muslims in Malaysia are being misled into accepting primitive and barbaric practices under the pretext that it is so Islamic.

      Islam in Malaysia is not the Islam I know from my travels overseas.

      Maybe Syed Akbar Ali is right - Islam in Malaysia has been hijacked by followers of Syaitan who want Islam to look stupid, primitive and barbaric.

      You turn to an authority without stopping to think.

      Maybe that why you will stone your "lil sis" first.

      //NB. No punishment for apostasy in Malaysia,//

      Realty check: Give them time and the opportunity.

      Hadi Awang wants a country which will faithfully follow ALL Islamic laws.

      There are already people in Malaysia who are quite happy to accept the death penalty for some "crimes", eg stoning adulterers to death.

      I don't think they will have any problems with executing apostates if the ulama says so.

      Do you personally support the death penalty for apostates of Islam?

      If there are so-called Muslims who are happy to make the official religion of the nation, Islam, look primitive or barbaric, it should not concern me, I guess.

      After all, I am just an unimportant non-Malay non-Muslim Malaysian and to make matters worse, I am an atheist :)

      And you know what they say about us, atheists, don't you?

      No principles, no morals, no ethics, godless, evil, don't know right from wrong. misguided.

  11. You expect Razak to explain or enlighten someone who has no ability to think for himself, as accurately pointed out by Gladiator? No amount of explanation by him would work on you, M Zin.

  13. M Zin,

    I did say I would make some final observations above but allow me to make a couple more.

    //make Islam the official religion of the nation.//

    Even if Islam was the official religion of the nation, it should not mean a person goes around killing and maiming people for matters which do not involve him/her.

    Is that what Islam is about? I don't think so.

    However, Hadi Awang seems to believe that Islam is about punishing people - the more they are punished, they better they will behave.

    Is that what Islam is about?

    No, it is what Hadi Awang is about.

    //Since there were no answers in depth from more leanered Muslims here, I tried to explain to best of my knowledge//

    But it was not just a question of what Islam is about.

    I was also curious as to what M Zin, the man, was thinking when he said he would kill a person he seemed to like, to wit, his "lil sis" Annie, for a matter which did not involve him.

    From what I gather, there are many Malaysian Muslims who think like you.

    And quite a few of these Malaysian Muslims hold the reins of power in Malaysia and they can influence policy directions.

    Is it good that we have a Malaysia where people go around killing and maiming others for matters which do not involve us?

    Mind you, these penalties are provided for in Islamic jurisprudence - and some people say that it is "Allah's law". Is it really?

    //I studpied the principles of Jenayah Syariah Islam under Assoc Prof Dr Hashim Mehat of UKM but that was many decades ago.//

    Who you studied under matters little if you never did get to understand the humanity within yourself after all that study.

    Everything I have discussed with you came from my own little brain, my own experiences, my own observations - no university, no associate professors, no writing long essays, no long prayer sessions, nothing.

    Am I clever?

    If you consider scratching your head and asking, what could possibly be, dumb questions to be clever, then maybe I am.

    But to be truthful, anybody can scratch their heads and ask, what could possibly be, dumb questions, even you, so you are as clever as me in that regard.

    It was an interesting study discussing this matter with you and I wonder what results I would get from talking to another person who may share your views. :)

    Thank you for your time and I am sure there will be a next time and a next subject.

    Also there are many Malaysians who do not support it but dare not voice out for fear of being demonized.

  16. Absolutely no Hudud without thorough understanding by Muslims and non-Muslims, Sdr ANON 16:55
    certainly Muslims learn the principles and basic issues before discounting it

    Moving forward:

  17. Since you are fond of saying Hudud is Allah's law, M Zin, show us here the actual verses or Surah from the Quran that specifically say that adulterers should be stoned to death and deserved death penalty. Don't go about quoting from Hadith ok. For something as serious as taking humans' lives, Allah certainly can't missed on this if He wills and allows it. Let me repeat, SHOW us anywhere in the Quran that specifically command that adulterers must be stoned to death.

    Where else if you care enough to study the Bible, it is clearly stated in it that such thing is permissible. I'll save you your time and put it here so that we can compare should you are able to point out to us that it can also be found in the Quran:

    Deuteronomy 22: 22 – 24

    22 If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.

    23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her,

    24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death-the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.

    Again here:
    Leviticus 20:10

    10 ” ‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife-with the wife of his neighbor-both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

  19. M Zin,

    My apologies for speaking up again but I find it quite unbelievable that you are continuing to speak like a person of authority on the subject of Islam.

    From 4 January 2017 at 18:41:
    //Absolutely no Hudud without thorough understanding by Muslims and non-Muslims//

    Seeing as you will kill your "lil sis" Annie for adultery, you are implying that you have a thorough understanding of hudud.

    I suppose you feel it is only the lesser-educated Muslims and the non-Muslims who don't understand.

    But you refuse to explain your personal motivations for wanting to kill your 'lil sis' Annie for adultery.

    I wonder what are you hiding?

    I wonder why you are hiding whatever it is you are hiding?

    I think you should stop making any statements on matters relating to Islam until you can answer some very basic questions about your own relationship to and beliefs in Islam.

    //but Christians chose to superceed some with New Testament//

    Looks like Christians are smarter and more forgiving than Muslims.

    They know how and when to stop primitive and barbaric practices and they did it a long long time before Muslims.

    Maybe Muslims should learn how the Christians have managed to do it :)

    Maybe that is why Christianity is more respected and favoured by people around the world.

    Islam in Malaysia is growing only because Muslims in Malaysia have lots of children.

    Give the Malays free choice of religion and see what happens :)

    I predict that the power of the ular-mak in Malaysia will collapse within one generation, max two.

    //I know and trust the Majlis members for Melaka BWD//

    Here we go again.

    Let somebody else do the thinking for you in matters where YOU should be the one doing the thinking.

  20. The Majlis Fatwa members are qualified, Sdr Gladiator
    to issue fatwas. They:

    1) Interprete al-Quran in the original language
    ( cannot rely merely on others translation)
    2) Follow a robust jurisprudence process
    3) Make decision by consensus
    4) Option: Enforce fatwa by passing enactments and laws in the state assembly or Parliament

    They are the authority not us, and since no else doing it I'm just trying to explain the broad processes boleh?

      Yeah, sure, let them do your thinking for you.

      Don't question, don't ask, don't object.

      Just shut up and accept.

      Now just pick up that stone and throw, right?

      It reminds me of that old protest catch cry during the Vietnam war, "Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity".

      In this case, it is "let's kill someone to show the world what good pious people we are".

      //I'm just trying to explain the broad processes boleh?//

      I didn't ask for "broad processes" to be explained, so I have no idea why you are bringing them up here.

      It just sounds like you are trying to change the subject and blame somebody else for your own motivations in picking up that stone :)

    3. What Hadith Sahih are you blabbering about Zin? Don't tell us that you are one of those that actually believed a goat ate that piece of parchment with the writings on the stoning of adulterers before it could be included in the Quran. No wonder.

      Here, for clarity, this is Surah 39:23
      "God has brought down the best Hadith; a book (Quran) that is consistent in its frequent repetitions."

      Still reading and believing from elsewhere, Zin?

      The following Quranic verses make this issue so clear:
      45:6
      "These are God's revelations (Quran) that We recite to you truthfully. In which hadith other than God and His revelations (Quran) do they believe?"

      7:185
      “Or have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all things which God has created? Or that perhaps their time may be drawing near? Which Hadith, other than this (Quran), do they believe in?”

      77:50
      “So in which hadith, other than this (Quran), do they believe?”

      As clearly stated above, those verses contain the same precise commandment not to follow anything other than the Quran.

      I strongly urge you to start reading the Quran again, instead of needing to reply here. Read and understand, not reciting it in that sing song manner we were taught to since very young. Semoga dapat melihat kebenaran. Allah telah pon memberi kita AKAL untuk berfikir.

      Yes no need according to you for me to reply, but many like in our kampung here read al-Quran every morning and interprete using Tafsir Ibn Kathir which will differ from your interpretation

      Hadith:
      Regardless of our different interpretation, Hadiths from The Prophet SAW provide important instructions not described in al-Quran. All 13 rukun Solat prayers are narrated from The Prophet SAW of which 8 can be read from Kitab Jami'as-Sahih Bukhari

      //I have answered//

      Sorry, the problem is that you DID NOT answer anything.

      You talked a lot about other things, you showed off your command of Islam, but you never did answer any questions I put to you.

      e.g. Could you explain why you are willing to kill your "lil sis" Annie for adultery despite it being none of your business as you have stated?

      I have a feeling this is how many religious teachers conduct discussions, i.e. avoid answering directly, subtly change the subject, talk about lots and lots of other things, lead the discussion away from the questioning, introduce new unrelated questions, talk some more about those unrelated questions, answer those new unrelated questions than claim that the original question has been answered.

      Such behaviour seems deliberately designed to make Islam look stupid, primitive and barbaric.

      Is that your intention, M Zin?

      //and that anyone and if it includes me, that carries it out have to abide by due court processes//

      Finally, after thousands of words, you have decided to put it in plain simple words, thank you.

      So, let me understand you.

      You are saying that you will stone your "lil sis" Annie to death because someone told you to do so.

      No thinking on your part, no questions, and all because someone told you that it is OK to stone your "lil sis" Annie to death for something which does not involve you?

      //I deny it and you can check my responses above//

      You deny that you are trying to make Islam look stupid, primitive and barbaric?

      Gosh, ok, let's look at the evidence

      You are about to stone to death (the primitive and barbaric part) your "lil sis" Annie for something which does not involve you because someone told you to do so and you are not even questioning it (the stupid part)

      And you insist that this stupid primitive and barbaric act is an Islamic thing to do?

      OK, can you explain why it is clever, modern and caring to stone to death your "lil sis" Annie because someone told you to do so?

  22. Gladiator,

    For Muslims, hudud are punishments fixed by Allah. From the point of view of a Muslim, it is something that is immutable. For lack of an analogy, since you are an atheist and you don't believe in the existence of God, even if I tell you that it is unreasonable not to believe in God, you will still say He does not exist.

    To ask if Annie should be punished should she commit adultery, you must know how the punishment can and cannot be implemented under Islamic law. The slightest of doubt as to Annie's alleged adultery would result in the punishment being inapplicable.

    For the punishment of rajm for zina, it is not provided in the Quran but the punishment was carried out by the Prophet as is narrated by Abu Hurairah. It is a hadith sahih and in Sahih Al Bukhari. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that only after the offender confessed to the Prophet directly four times and the offender was determined not to be insane, only then did the Prophet ordered that the punishment be carried out. This means that the punishment is almost never carried out and where there is even the slightest of doubt (higher degree than beyond reasonable doubt), the punishment cannot be carried out.

      Thanks for clarifying that it is not in the Quran - I knew that already.

      So, it is not Allah's law as claimed by some.

      //only then did the Prophet ordered that the punishment be carried out//

      Wonderful!!

      Now you have now established that it is, in fact, a man-made law.

      Mohamad was, after all, a man, as he always insisted.

      Notwithstanding any of the above, it is still a primitive and barbaric act which is not sanctioned by Allah in the Quran, as one would expect from a benevolent god.

    Here we go again. Really now? Punishment fixed by Allah? Yet not in the Quran?

    Based on Hadith sahih? So is the part about a hungry goat that ate the piece of parchment with the verse too. And this is what sahih is to you?

    LoA Reader

    ReplyDelete
  24. LOA Reader that hadith is not sahih. Clearly you have not studied Islamic jurisprudence. The Quran is like an immutable constitution for all Muslims whereas Hadiths are the practises of the Prophet.

    There are many punishments that you call barbaric which may not be barbaric to others. For example if your wife was tortured by a psycho by having her ears cut off you may not think that stoning the psycho is barbaric. Some countries think that hanging a man for distributing 10kg of drugs is barbaric but others think that it is justifiable as hundreds of people die of drug abuse every year.

    1. We are not discussing about punishments meted out by man made law especially on crime related punishments here. Ok?

      Stoning of adulterers to death, which is what it will be once Hudud is passed is a PUNISHMENTS FIXED BY ALLAH you said.

      Yet this is what we can find from the Quran where punishment for adulterers/zina:

      An-Nur 24.2
      (As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to GOD, if you believe in GOD and the last day, and let a party of believers witness their chastisement.

      Then how can it be a punishment fixed by Allah when the punishment is clearly stated here through this verse. Allah's words.

      You can go and on about Hadiths being practices of the Prophet, which were words based on what was written hundreds of years after his death.

      Tell us, you would rather believe words from Allah or words passed on from one person to another and heard by another and then related to yet another after few hundred years later as the truth?
