A great slander against Allah and the Prophet: RAJM (stoning to death)As is well known, adultery is one of the major sins in Islam, and Muslims are required to avoid this sin. However, even during the era of the Prophet, there were people who, despite calling themselves Muslims, succumbed to their desires and committed this sin. During the time of the Prophet, for those who were clearly proven to have committed this crime with four witnesses, Allah prescribed 100 lashes (with a thin stick that only stings the skin) in front of the community, regardless of whether the person was single or married, male or female. We learn this punishment from the following verses in Surah An-Nur:
"The woman and the man guilty of adultery... flog each of them with a hundred lashes... and let not pity for them deter you from obeying Allah's law, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of believers witness their punishment." (24:2)
Long after the death of the Prophet, with the association of hadiths alongside the Qur'an, the punishment for adultery was changed to "rajm," or stoning to death, by the sects. Polytheistic, morally corrupt individuals who fabricated a religion in the name of Allah decided that the lashing punishment in the Qur'an should be applied to those who committed adultery while single, while those who committed adultery while married should be stoned to death—rajm(!!!). In this way, slander was thrown upon Allah and the Prophet, with ridiculous claims that there were indeed verses about rajm, but that these verses were eaten by a goat that entered Aisha's room.
Unfortunately, in modern times, this disgusting and inhumane punishment is still being applied in countries governed by Sharia law, and both Allah and the Prophet continue to be slandered through this practice.
However, Almighty Allah states in the Qur'an, and these morally corrupt individuals who defend stoning are supposedly aware of these verses:
"Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, they are disbelievers." (Maida 44)
"Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, they are wrongdoers." (Maida 45)
"Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, they are defiantly disobedient." (Maida 47)
Furthermore, our Lord shows us how the polytheists slander Allah by following their ancestors rather than what Allah has revealed, as demonstrated in the following verses:
"When they commit an indecency, they say: 'We found our forefathers doing this, and Allah has commanded us to do it.' Say: 'Allah does not command indecency. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?'" (Araf 28)
Now, let's examine the reasons why stoning to death for adultery committed by a married person is contrary to the Qur'an and is, in fact, a vile slander against Allah and His Messenger:
"Nisa 25: And whoever among you cannot afford to marry free, believing women, then marry from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. Allah is most knowing about your faith. You are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their family and give them their due compensation according to what is acceptable, they should be chaste, not committing unlawful sexual intercourse or taking secret lovers. But if they commit adultery after marriage, then for them is half the punishment for free women. This allowance is for those of you who fear sin. But to be patient is better for you, and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
From the above verse, it is clearly seen that the punishment given to a non-free "married" woman is half that of a free woman. Is there such a thing as half of the punishment of being stoned to death? Of course not. However, half of 100 lashes is 50 lashes. This means that according to the Qur'an, if a non-free married woman commits adultery, she is punished with 50 lashes in public, while a free married woman is punished with 100 lashes in public.
Finally, let's look at what kind of people, according to the Qur'an, implement or threaten believers with stoning:
The pagan father of Prophet Ibrahim said to him:
"Do you turn away from my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do not stop, I will surely stone you. Stay away from me for a long time." (Maryam 46)
The polytheists also threatened Prophet Nuh in this way:
"They said, 'O Nuh, if you do not desist, you will surely be among those stoned to death.'" (Shu'ara 116)
The people of Pharaoh said the same to Prophet Musa:
"I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account." (Dukhan 20)
And the people who rejected the Companions of the Cave (Ashab al-Kahf) also threatened them with stoning:
"If they find you, they will stone you or force you back to their religion. And then you would never succeed." (Kahf 20)
As clearly seen from the verses, stoning is a punishment practiced by polytheists and idol worshipers in the Qur'an.
Muslims, and those who claim to be Muslims, must immediately abandon this inhumane practice and repent by submitting to the fact that the only source of religion is the Qur'an."
