Al-Quran and humanity: a study on humanism behind the stipulation of verses about crimes based on the perspective of thematic analytic interpretation

Stigmatization on the imposition of maximum criminal penalties described in al-Qurân such as qishash for the accused of homicide, amputation of the hand for the robbery crime and the punishment of whip and rajm for the adultery case, are practically criticized and considered as crimes, evil, sadistic, inhuman, as well as against human rights. The judgments on “the Islamic laws” are likely negative due to the verdict of the maximum punishment. As a consequence, this results in apathetic leading to antipathy against Islam as a belief. Al-Qurân certifies that administering the maximum punishment like qishash is not purposed as taking revenge, releasing painful feeling or expressing hateful. The actions of the maximum punishment for crimes in Islam truthfully have principal aims and are not without paying attention on the sides of humanity, but keep focusing on the preventive actions for the guarantee of balance and sustainability of the social life among mankind.
