Abstract

Summary

Introduction

This paper assumes that here are genuine differences, as well as possible agreements between authentic tenets of Islam and the international principles on human rights and justice. Wrongs or atrocities committed in the name of Islam should be attributed to the wrong-doers, individuals, groups, organizations, or governments in accordance with their own motivating ideas and/or deeds Applying this clear understanding of Islam, the extremist interpretations and the organizational activities by al-Qaida in Afghanistan, al-Shabab in Somalia, Muslim Brotherhood Alwiya, and many other non-integrationist Jihadist militant groups, as well as aggressive acts by warring governments, constituted mutual gross violations of these peaceful fixations, namely the free choice of faith, prohibition of transgression, and the cherishment of religious tolerance with respect to both. You are free!” The patience, justice, and wisdom of the Prophet articulated in his daily life: Muhammad presented a living example of the ideals of humane behavior, even in situations of inflicting the hudud physical punishments He taught the Muslims to avoid implementation of the hudud more than any jurist or thinker possibly did. A Muslim was entitled a right to adjudicate; but God would reward him if he pardoned the offender instead of having him punished by law
