RAPISTS, TO BE PUT TO DEATH OR GIVEN A LONG PAINFUL PUNISHMENT?

“A person who commits this act (sexual intercourse out side of marriage) is not a true believer of their faith” [Imam Bukhari and Muslim]

The crime rates in India is increasing drastically not only that but the growth and development of the injustice is increasing tremendously. Men seem to be on high testosterone levels. This is a shame because India is a democratic country where every citizen has the right to speak and has the freedom in all cases. We as humans let alone women need to understand the severity of this crime. One can't undermine this crime with their notions or judgement whether what the punishment of this crime should be or what the victim "should have done".
This crime is all and entirely the fault of the rapist. One cannot blame the victim because this crime cannot be justified in a way to blame the victim in an atom bit possible. Can one justify the rape of a six month old baby? Can we blame the baby that she was luring or seducing the rapist to please himself in his own way?

No we can't. Because a rapist is mentally ill and his soul has been severely corrupted with the satanic mind thoughts and absurd ways of torturing others for his selfish means of pleasure.
No one except Allah can understand the pain and destruction of the victim's life. No one. The least we as humans can do is bring justice to these victims. The rape victims are not only in India but in Every single country. But very little is the justice brought to these woman. No one stands up to these women. WE AS MUSLIMS and moreover HUMANS need to bring them justice.


The latest rape crime which has obtained high mass media on social networking sites is the one which occurred in Hyderabad. The victim is a 20 year old college student, who was savagely raped and tortured for 17 months after she was drugged and kidnapped from the college campus by the owner of the canteen of the TRR college where she studied. The rapist was under the police's custody for three days prior the investigation and then released without any rape arrest warrant. However, there is enough evidence and proof that this girl was raped repeatedly by Satya Prakash because unfortunately she became pregnant and the child had to be aborted. This rapist peculiarly & oddly targets only Muslim women to torture and rape. He seems to have raped, tortured and killed many Muslim women before the incident of this victim. 

The Rapist was supported by his wife (who is okay for his man to rape other women), his brother, father and the flat owners where she was abducted for 17 months. Since this man was married, his act is of an adulterer so his punishment is equivalent to that of an adulterer that is to be stoned to death. How ever these are Sharia laws and the government of India isn't an Islamic government and therefore, the punishment doesn't apply. Moreover, I have no idea what exactly the punishment of a rapist is in India. If anyone does, please do comment below.
The rapist should on the other hand be given 100 lashes if he was unmarried and both married and unmarried men would have to pay the victim the DOWRY similar to that of a wedding. But this money would be given as a Kaffara (expaition). Either way these situations occur differently in different situations because the victim was not only raped but she was abducted, brutally tortured and was hurt by these animals. So the punishment should be far greater than lashes or giving dowry whether they seek forgiveness from Allah or not. Unfortunately, in the end, these are Sharia laws and not the government laws. So we urge and advocate that Beheading or hanging to death be the punishment of the rapist and every single person who supported this rapist in every single country because they all are criminals who supported and was in involved in this crime. They also deserve the title and the punishment of a rapist.

But the real question is, Did this poor victim get Justice? No! Justice hasn't been served yet. The protests all over India is going on. The rapist seems to be getting full hand support from the high authorities in the government but sooner than later this matter will be closed after it is served with JUSTICE!

Question: What Does Islam Say About Rape?
In Islam, what is the law and the punishment for committing rape?
Answer: Rape is completely forbidden in Islam, and is a crime punishable by death.
It is incorrect to say that rape is merely a subcategory of adultery or fornication. In the well-known Islamic legal book, "Fiqh-us-Sunnah," rape is included in a definition of hiraba (terrorism or crimes of violence)


Opinions of Some Women on Solution of Rape:


Nawal says, Policemen in India should wake up! start training army against these morons and take Serious steps to stop this all for once and then they should kill all ugly rapist on the spot with one thousand bullets into their heads, should rupture their heads with bulldozers and let their bodies be eaten by pigs

Farah says, first lets take steps to prevent falling in the traps of such men. The ever zikr of Allah will protect us from all kinds of harm even the harm of getting the nazar. Girls need to wake up to see that world is full of people like those and avoid going ALONE outside. Secondly even if we are going out, Allah has given the beautiful verse, "Ayat al Kursi" to keep us protected at all times so lets try to make sure that we are protecting ourselves first before pronouncing the guys as the villains. Another beautiful dua "AA UZU BI KALIMAATILLAHIT TAAMMAATI MIN SHARRI MA KHALAQ". This dua is for refuge with ALLAH from all the creations that harm us. Another dua, "AA UZU BI KALIMAATILLAHIT TAAMMAATI MIN GHADA BIHI WA IQABIHI WA SHARRI IBAAADIHI MIN HAMAZATISH SHAYATEENI WA AIY YAH ZAROON". This dua is to seek refuge with ALLAH from the wrath of ALLAH, and from the wrong doings of men (Magic and physical harm) and from the wrong doing of shayateen. (this is not the exact translation) And of course the four Quls that have been superbly revealed for the protection of both men and women equally
Dr. Zainab says, Ban the bollywood from making movies that arouse evil desires among the youth not to forget even kids are falling into this trap. You can't clap with one hand. Everyone needs to carry the blame. Flashing flesh in public and demanding respect and justice considering oneself westernized and modern while 2 generations ago in the same household be it hindu or muslim females covered their heads in front of elders.The society is stinking and need thorough spiritual cleansing.

Muna Rahmani says, the only solution is death penalty or better beheading of such animals. In such cases, rules of Sharia punishment should be followed. Since in India all a rapist gets is, few years in jail or they are free on bail!! Although, I would love such scoundrels to be castrated and crushed by a bulldozer but lets be practical it ain't happening. So instead, the government starts taking stern action against them and behead them as it happens in Saudi. Then I'm sure these rapist would feel the terror and such devils will think twice before harassing women!!


I urge every single women to stand up to these women and do not sit quietly, because we are in danger of this crime where ever and anywhere we go. We have to let them remain in prison and not let them roam freely. Only few of the rapists would sincerely repent and acknowledge their sins and crimes but majority of them will keep continuing this and the only solution is AWARENESS, PROTECTION and PUNISHMENT!

HOW TO MAINTAIN GOOD IMPRESSION OVER NON-MUSLIMS WHILE PREACHING?







The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to ‘Ali (RA):

“If Allah guides a person through you, it is better for you than all that is on the earth.” 
Bukhari No. 2783 & Muslim No. 2406)


Assalamualaikum WarahmatuaAllah hi wabara kaatuhu!

We all need to understand that first impressions matter a lot. It may not be who we really are but it's something that we will be in the eyes of someone who doesn't really know us and perceive our impression as someone who we're not. Which is why it is very important for us as muslims to maintain a very good impression over non- muslims while giving Dawah. We may not get a second chance to give a good impression so be ready to present your first TRUE impression. (no body wants to be fake here :P)


This is the banner of the Dawah team in U.K
We muslims do not follow Islam correctly and fight among our muslim brothers and sisters, this is what our impression has fallen over the non-muslim community. Which is why we need to check our akhlaaq (manners) because that's the biggest attracting factor to any person irrespective of religion.
Some of the things which I personally would do to keep a non-muslim intact are:
1. Dress well and greet them well. Use a catchy Title or banner to attract the audience to come towards you. 

2. Make sure you actually are practicing Islam so that the Latter doesn't consider you as a hypocrite when it comes to Dawah.
3. Make sure you have great energy and enthusiasm while preaching them to Islam. Dull and boring conversations are a big turn off to anybody.        

4. Speak about the concepts of Islam according to the level and maturity of the Non-Muslim. There are somethings which we understand perfectly while the latter may not. So speak in consideration of the latter so he may not feel stupid or let down.
5. Do not start judging the non-muslim in regards to his/her outward appearance, beliefs or lifestyle and start becoming the HARAM police. Rather start preaching from the basic principles of Islam i.e AQEEDA which is the most important and needs to be corrected. 


6. Make sure you speak to them with proof and evidence. If you know something but do not have proof or evidence, then remain silent. Because you wouldn't want to be wrong later and be considered as a liar.

7. Return their misbehavior with the best of manners whether you like it or not. (MUHSIN)
8. Sincerity and the truth of Islam should be shown all over us, so that they respect how strong our belief is, which will intrigue them to find out how this religion has such a great affect on us..

I hope this helps all of us to maintain a good impression on the non-muslims while preaching. This is simply my personal opinions. There may be some great tactics by the Daaees out there which I do not know. So If anybody would also like to share their tactics, Please do comment below. JazakiaAllahu khairan for reading.

This was a task given to me by Bint Shaikh Mujeed. I love doing tasks! If somebody has a post request, Please comment down below. in sha Allah I will get to it. :D
