AN INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC CRIMINAL LAW (HUDOOD) IN THE LIGHT OF QURAN AND SUNNAH
Main Article Content
Abstract
The existence of human society and crime is a natural thing. Through its teachings, Islam has encouraged and commanded human beings to stay away from oppression and crime and live a peaceful life. For Islam, peace is of fundamental importance as the word Islam itself includes the concept of peace and security. But it is also an indisputable fact that evil cannot be eradicated, though it is certainly possible to suppress evil and block the means by which it spreads, Islam prescribes severe punishments for specific crimes, which are called hudood. The purpose of this concept of punishments is to prevent crime so that human society can live in peace. In this article, a descriptive research has been done to explore the concept of Islamic criminal law (Hudood) in the light of Quranic injunctions and Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him), and general rules for its implementation.
