Adultery based on Quraan

Punishment
for Adultery - Stoned to Death or 100 Lashes: Why Adultery when
Marriage is Legal?
It is a matter of
bringing a new life NOT taking life, and a baby may be born because of
this adultery (Rape). Persons involved in adultery must be put into
accountability as well, incase of a child is born and Government must
punish them to take all the responsibilities of the born child and
Government must keep an eye on them for the whole life, unless they
completely repent. Keep in mind, incase of stone to death these burden
of child expenses etc.
will be pass on to the rest of the community which is totally unjust
and not fair to the community.
Man
and Woman both need to be investigated thoroughly and scientifically
(Medical Test) as well:
The woman and the man
guilty of adultery or fornication flog each of them with a hundred
(100) stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter
prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let
a party of the Believers witness their punishment, (AL_Quraan_024.002).
Punishment
for False Blame on Sex:
And those who launch a
charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support
their allegations), flog them with eighty (80) stripes; and reject
their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;
unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct); for Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, (Al_Quraan_024.004-005).
Restrictions
to marry with the followings:
Forbidden unto you are
your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your father's
sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your brother's daughters and
your sister's daughters, and your foster mothers, and your foster
sisters, and your mothers-in-law, and your stepdaughters who are under
your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have gone in but if
ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you (to marry
their daughters) and wives of your sons who (spring) from your own
loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should have two sisters
together, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the
past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. And all married women are
forbidden unto you except those (captives) whom your right hands
possess.
It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those
mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not
debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them) give
unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what
ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is
ever Knower, Wise. And whoso is not able to afford to marry free,
believing woman, let them marry from the believing maids whom your
right hands possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye
(proceed) one from another; so wed them by permission of their folk,
and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being honest, not
debauched nor of loose conduct, (Al_Quraan_004.023-025).
Do NOT marry unbelieving
women (idolaters), UNTIL they believe: A slave woman who believes is
better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. NOR
marry to unbelievers UNTIL they believe: A man slave who
believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you.
Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His
Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs
clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise,
(Al_Quraan_002.221).
Remember:
No Marriage is
Marriage if it is for fixed period of time (No Mutah), so
don’t Fool Our Sisters. In reality Marriage is a blessed
permanent contract between a man and a woman for the whole life and
comes under boundary limit as commandment by Allah BUT in an
exceptional cases allowed to divorce with full fairness, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_002.229 / 004:019, 035 / 070:029-031).
Quraan does not contain any verse on Stoning to Death for the
Punishment of illegal Sex.
No
Muslim is a Muslim if one takes laws in his/her own hand and unjustly
kill or hurt anyone including for Adultery/Blasphemy. He/she don’t deserve to be
called as Muslim rather a Hypocrite, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.044-047).
If Quraan cannot convince you nothing will: None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah BUT those who Disbelieve ..., (Al_Quraan_040.004). The command is for none but Allah, (Al_Quraan_018:026).
The command is for none but Allah, (Al_Quraan_018:026).
Hypocrites read the Quraan but practice something else.
