Aspects from the law of Allah (God) in Jurisprudence

A person notices upon reflecting upon the verses of The Noble Qur'an that Allah (God) Almighty emphasizes that He is swift in Judgment in most places where Judgment is mentioned. This shows a side of the mercy of the creator in the laws of Islamic Jurisprudence, which is that swiftness in judgment is a mercy towards the person who did a bad deed such that the punishment is over very quickly and the person does not go into a cycle of slow punishment.

We notice that there is no prison in Islamic Jurisprudence because punishment is done swiftly. This contains so much mercy towards people because imprisonment causes so many psychological problems to the captive, such that hate, anger, disgust, and other symptoms develop within the captive. Also prisons take so much financial resources and time from those guarding the prison.

From this it can be concluded that there is so much mercy in the swiftness of carrying out punishment, which testifies to the truthfulness of the words (Truly, Allah (God) is Swift at reckoning.)

Cut off (from the wrist joint) the (right) hand of the thief, male or female, as a recompense for that which they committed, a punishment by way of example from Allah (God). And Allah (God) is All­Powerful, All­Wise.

The Noble Qur'an (5: 38)

If we reflect upon the wisdom of Allah (God) Almighty and His mercy in the punishment for who steals (which is for his hand to be cutoff). The wisdom in that is that Allah (God) wants for people success in the hereafter by going into Paradise, such that the hand that a person uses to steal with would cause him to go into Hell, so it is better for a person who steals to live in this short life without it rather than going into Hell because of it. This testifies to the truthfulness of the following words of the Almighty in the Noble Qur'an (Allah (God) knows and you know not).

Also when a person knows that the punishment for stealing is the hand being cut, then a person who is thinking of stealing would think so much before carrying out what he wants. This would result in the abolishment of the crime of theft in socities.

From another aspect, a person who steals once is more likely to steal again, such that when this person thinks of stealing again and sees the site of the cut in his forearm then this would refrain him from stealing again.

The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah (God), if you believe in Allah (God) and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. (This punishment is for unmarried persons guilty of the above crime but if married persons commit it, the punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allah's (God) Law).

The Noble Qur'an (24: 2)

Another side in Islamic Jurisprudence is that the adulterer and adulteress should be lashed 100 times. Thus the mercy of Allah (God) Almighty in this is that the skin who the Almighty created from humans if used in the deeds that are pleasing to Allah (God) then the person would be rewarded, while if a person uses his skin in deeds displeasing to the Almighty then the punishment is sever.

Also Allah (God) Almighty wants for people to go into paradise and if adultery would cause a person to go into Hell then it is better for a person to feel some pain in this short life which would refrain him from going into Hell rather than going into eternal punishment. This testifies to the truthfulness of the following words of the Almighty in The Noble Qur'an (And verily, Allah (God) will make them taste of the near torment (i.e. the torment in the life of this world) prior to the supreme torment (in the Hereafter), in order that they may (repent and) return. 

O you who believe! Al-Qisâs (Islamic Laws of Jurisprudence) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother of the killed against blood money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood money, to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood money), he shall have a painful torment.

The Noble Qur'an (2: 178)

Allah (God) Almighty states that the punishment for a person who kills another deliberately is for him or her to be killed. The mercy of Allah (God) in this is that it is easier for a person who kills once to kill again, thus by killing this person then killing in societies would decrease and peace would prevail. Also the Almighty states that if the relatives of the deceased forgive the killer, then the killer should do right to the relatives of the deceased to soften what has befallen upon them.
