Is Shari'ah the Most Barbaric Form of Law? | Animation

Often, the only things the West associates with Islam are stoning and handchopping. This video illustrates how our society has profoundly misunderstood Islam and Shari'ah.

This was the video I was looking for, thank you

[@honeyfigsunbeam1505]

If you read the old testament and the laws of Moses ,you can see that it is like a rough draft of shariah law. I’m not a Muslim but it is important to understand , compare and contrast.

[@mr.elixer2455]

It's important to put these books in the dumpster.

[@gasserhegazy1267]

Thanks so much man. I finally understand and I will definitely share this video jazakallahu khairan 😀😇🙏👍👍

[@sheepdog2423]

jazakallahu khairan, that helped ALOT. Mashallah

[@altaykalpak6667]

Many people/governments misunderstand shariah and people die because of this. Are shariah rules that difficult to understand?

[@azilius5302]

They are not difficult to understand and those who change and or add the laws in a way that harms humans rather than preserve and protect life, they'll suffer consequences for their actions in the hereafter according to what they used to do. Allah is the most Just and Merciful.

Yes finally real knowledge

[@halalshrek1494]

But I have a question, if the huddud punishments can only be applied if the proofs are there which rarely happens, what if the criminals destroy or hide the evidence and by this crimes rise by other criminals hiding or destroying proofs????

[@bobtheagent9087]

He will be punished but not by hudood.

[@Muhammad_Nuruddin]

There's another form of punishment called ta'zeer. These are lighter punishments like you see practised in most countries. Getting fined, jailed for a certain number of years etc.

[@purple1985purple1985]

If only this was watched by people who needed to understand Sharia better. It's a pity such videos n information is not distributed n widely aired/spread but other incorrect versions on such topics are. The question is HOW do u make sure ur info videos reach ppl who need it most?

[@yameenhamid]

Thank you very much for the infographic! Extremely helpful! I have queries: - Did prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and/or Rashidun Khalifs applied Hudud in their time? If yes, then can we find all the criteria to be met for applying Hudud? - Who will be the authority for applying Shari'a in different countries? Regards,

[@TaniraFall]

This is amazing! I learned a lot!

[@ifitissimpleitisgood4077]

You should have clearly call out the wrong applying of the sharia law in some countries and clearly condemn it as not indented as that like from God.

[@Cimex090]

Correct me if im wrong, but i don't think there is anything in the Quran proscribing stoning for adultery. There are some weak hadith but thats it, Shariah was created many years after the prophet Muhammad, and it has cultural parallels with other legal systems of that time and era such as Jewish law. This suggests it is much more cultural than religious than most Muslims and non-Muslims accept.

[@ZakManga]

There's a hadith on lashing for unmarried adultery and a hadith from the Prophet ﷺ on a married man who was stoned when he attested to the adultery four times. Afaik, it has multiple narrations and is strong. In fact, there's a hadith that there was a fear that a time might come when people might pretend as if stoning doesn't occur in our shariah

[@ZakManga]

And some laws and punishments do make it from prophet's law/book to the next. So it makes sense to have some common laws

[@gotnoname7051]

GOD!!! *THANK U SO MUCH, JAZZAKA ALLAHU KHAIRAN*

[@olgaz2498]

wait is the little animated guy shibli the sharia scholar based off a real person from india? this is so random but someone told me this

[@Sara-lb6uu]

شرح رائع 😍 جزاكم الله خيراً

[@kjenki11]

I hate to say this but I’m still confused …

[@kjenki11]

I get the idea that they make it so bad so to scare people but I still feel the treatment of women is horrible … and I’m surprised the woman don’t try to flee but they can’t because according to this it can be looked as though they are leaving their faith so idk I feel bad for the women still

[@Al-Basha_]

@@kjenki11 go ask some Muslim women and you will get your answer and compare their society with other non-Muslim one

[@Slave-of-the-most-merciful]

@@kjenki11 why would Muslim women leave Islam? I have seen non Muslim women actually join Islam because it makes sense to them. We cover women as they are not object. They are people and men need to realise that. In the west women are told to undress and in Islamic countries men are told to lower their gaze.

[@ZakManga]

@@kjenki11 I'm a women and it's definitely not horrible. They make it seem as if we have no rights as Muslim women, but it's just that Islamic law takes away a lot of responsibilities from us and give it to men. People in the west just normalise women taking on difficulties and responsibilities and try and make it seem glamorous, but at the end of the day it's really not the story

[@rachelrachel4883]

I can assure you that in Islamic countries men do not lower their gaze and especially the young males will croon after young women in abayas! The problem is not women not being covered. The problem is women being covered too much. So the men go crazy at an ankle or a foot. In Islamic countries like UAE, where men see uncovered women all the time, they do not stare and gawk. The problem is that men don’t realise that hijab is for their eyes. That hijab is so they don’t harass the women. It’s not a cloth to cover women. It’s a way for men to behave respectfully towards all women. Not just their mothers and sisters.

[@Batwomancharlotte]

What source was used to identify how many Hudud punishments took place?

[@Batwomancharlotte]

Why are the shubuhat not available through a google search and the image of them here not legible

[@samj923]

War behaviour is very much different from Islam's war behaviour which meets terroristic criteria

[@rachelrachel4883]

The wording of this video suggests that stoning is a punishment that comes from the Quran. Stoning is never mentioned in the Quran and stoning comes from a Hadith. Allegedly someone saw monkeys stone a monkey who committed adultery. As monkeys don’t form monogamous relationships, and don’t know what the human concept of adultery is, this is obviously a false story. It also reduces humans to the level of monkeys. I personally consider it blasphemous to suggest stoning came from God via the Quran. Otherwise there is some intelligent information in this video.

[@ZakManga]

No, the monkeys thing was just a story of pre-Islamic ignorance times. The hadith on stoning comes from a man who testified to the Prophet ﷺ four times that he committed adultery and the Prophet ﷺ ordered the stoning since he was a married man. Lashing for the unmarried person is the one that's in the Quraan

[@rachelrachel4883]

So one must ask the Question, was the Prophet allowed to ordain punishment or make laws? The answer is no, the Quran outlines an example where the Prophet was clearly and firmly told off for making laws to suit his wives and was told never to do such again. So the Prophet was not permitted to ordain punishment nor make laws. Another example of a false narrative in hadith.

[@ajeebbeliever8857]

Actually western court system comes from shariah.

[@George-iv1hi]

Don't lie!

[@Versatileabhi]

Then why are countries like Saudi Arabia iran etc not following the Sharia properly ? And except for Aurangzeb there was no sharia law in Mughal India.. Akbar was not even a muslim..He created a new religion call din e ilahi..so wrong history presented to defend something..

[@superpenguinius1011]

Could be ignorance about the law or have an agenda making things up in it. In Iran, women get punished for taking off hijab. Can you show me where in Islam it says to legally punish a woman who takes her hijab off? There is none.

[@superpenguinius1011]

@@amir3508 It's haram in islam, but there is no described punishment for taking it off. It'a ta'zir, and ta'zir can be no punishment as one of the options.

[@reza5347]

@@superpenguinius1011 Tazir is literally one type of Islamic punishment, and you try to justify punishment it on Iranian women who don't even follow your religion. No wonder nobody cares about your kind in Palestine .

[@toufeeq_maverick]

As a Muslim, I approve that Sharia is the most barbaric form of law.

[@Rogue_ly]

I highly doute u are a muslim

[@holybased901]

Fed. I'm not even Muslim & never will be, but if Islam is good for anything, its Shariah law.

[@waqasgujjargujjar2657]

Worst law

[@HasimFN]

Im still against sharia

[@iyedabidi5304]

you can have your own opinion, but im curious, why?

[@HasimFN]

@@iyedabidi5304 because u get punished here instead of on the other side. Who says people want to be punished here. Let people do what they do and they get their punishment in hell.

[@ZakManga]

@@HasimFN but if you never prescribe punishments, the society collapses eventually because there's no reminder or no fear of harming fellow humans. To not punish is to allow corruption. Take for example adultery, if you're married you damage the relationship, you hurt your partner, yourself, the person committing adultery with you, your kids if you have any or your future kids. You damage several households, and even if you aren't married it's a fairly big issue In cases of rape, the rapist gets away, if they are truly rapists. But shariah allows the death penalty and monetary compensation for the person raped, if it can be proven. In the west and other laws a rapist gets a few decades/years these days and can get out on bail etc Also, in the case that no one finds out, you don't have to go to a judge and confess adultery, you are supposed to stay silent and sincerely repent, putting the matter between you and God so that He can forgive you. By the hudd punishment being carried out, scholars agree that the sinner is forgiven for that particular sin. It's better to get the punishment off your record in this world than suffer badly for it in the hereafter

[@Dannyboyy86]

​​@@ZakManga handing out bonuses to rape victims is a great way to increase the amount of false rape charges... Girl gets paid, man gets killed. How about apostasy being punishable by death. Or blasphemy. I mean come on, if you support, you're on the side of extremism.
