Islamic Laws: Shariah's Way of Penalty

  Islamic laws are a set of laws which by today's society are considered to be strict. Islamic laws are considered ruthless and impossible to apply by the western societies. Though many Muslim countries still practise Islamic laws.
 Islamic laws or Shariah is a set of laws or constitution which are set by the Holy Prophet P.B.U.H himself. It is a constitution of Islam, a constitution which allows the smooth practise of Islam possible. The misconception of some of it's laws has led to a negative view of it in the western society. Amongst the societies the decapitation and cutting of hands is considered to be an ill-practise. Practises like these are considered to be against Human Rights.
  Let's go back to the period of the Holy Prophet P.B.U.H, the time when these laws were first applied. The penalty for fornication in those times was very harsh. The guilty was punished in the bazaar. The guilty were punished in front of the public and in case of fornication by a married man, he was thrown stones at, public was allowed to participate in such activities.
  The main reason for such sort of public humiliation and punishment between the crowd was a very important factor. On seeing someone being punished so harshly no one would even dare to do any sort of crime. Each crime if proven was punishable. Due to this kind of practise, the crime rate in the society was virtually non-existent. Very few, almost next to non was the crime rate.
  The misunderstanding today about these practises is very common.Practise of Islamic Laws can create a drastic drop in the crime-rate of any society of the world. Islamic Laws are not to end humans but to save humanity. Because crimes create disturbance in the honest and honourable livelihood of the community, and the world at large. I would like to also remind my readers that radical Islamists like Tehrik-e-Taliban or Al-Qaeda are not what Islam is about.

Opportunities: Fighting for the Right

  Opportunities, a word taken for granted by some, while some might have never heard of it. Education opportunities, Job opportunities... does every one have equality in it?
  Opportunities are not equally distributed to everyone. Everyone has different sets of opportunities, and at some point everyone has to step back. Opportunities differ due to ethnicity, region race and even genders.
  Today, in the modern era we might think that difference has ended and everyone has been given equal rights, but their is always someone superior and someone is always inferior. The world today has many examples which we might ignore but the ones who are lacked of the opportunities know what it is like.

Society: Taking up arms

  What has become of our society? No sense of security. No sense of freedom. Men are not safe from thugs and gangsters. Businesses are not safe from Mafia's and greedy or corrupt politicians. Women are not safe from men. The chain goes on. The rule of the jungle has overruled in the land of the educated and sophisticated Human Beings. The cycle of the prey and the predator exists in our society as well.
