Jamoatchilik oldida amalga oshiriladigan ba'zi dahshatli jazolarni ko'rish mumkin, masalan, o'g'rining qo'lini kesish yoki qotillarni qatl etish. Bular, albatta, dahshatli manzaralar bo'lib, ochiq joylarda sodir bo'ladi va jamiyatning qalbiga va ongiga chuqur iz qoldiradi, chunki jamiyat jinoyatchining og'ir azob-uqubatini o'z ko'zi bilan ko'radi.

One can expect to see some horrendous punishments in a public display, like cutting the hand of the thief, or the execution of murderers. These indeed are terrible sights, and will take place in open areas, leaving a lasting effect on the hearts and minds of the society; for society will witness the intense suffering of the criminal.

Shunda kelajakda bunday jinoyat sodir etishni o‘ylagan har bir kishi ikki marta o‘ylab ko‘radi. Hatto bu voqeani o‘z ko‘zi bilan ko‘rmagan keyingi avlodlar ham ikki marta o‘ylaydi. Darhaqiqat, bunday jazolar amalda juda kam qo‘llanadi, chunki ularning o‘zi kuchli bazdarmon ta’sirga ega. Bundan tashqari, o‘g‘rining qo‘lini kesish juda qiyin, chunki vaziyatli dalillar yetarli hisoblanmaydi. Shu tariqa sud tizimi nohaq hukm chiqarilmasligini ta’minlaydi, bu esa bizning zamonimizning tobora ko‘proq alomatiga aylanib borayotganga o‘xshaydi.

So in future anyone even thinking of committing such a crime will think twice. Even those who did not witness the event in future generations will think twice. For in fact such punishments are not meted out frequently at all, as by their nature they have such a powerful deterrent effect. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult to cut the hand of the thief, for circumstantial evidence is not sufficient. Thus, the judiciary ensures that there would be no wrongful convictions, which seem more and more to be a sign of our times.

Og'ir jazolar jinoyatning oldini olishning yagona vositasi emas. Islom muammolarga barcha tomondan yondashadi. Iqtisodiy tizim odamlarning ehtiyojlarini ta'minlaydi va o'g'irlikka bo'lgan ehtiyojni kamaytiradi. Ta'lim tizimi esa jamiyatga Yaratuvchi oldidagi mas'uliyatni eslatib, o'g'irlikka bo'lgan istakni susaytiradi. Shunday qilib, barcha tizimlar uyg'unlikda ishlaydi. Saudiya Arabistoni va Sudan kabi rejimlar muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchrashining sababi shundaki, ular Islomning faqat ayrim qismlarini odamlar yaratgan qonunlar bilan birga joriy etadilar: ular Islom bo'yicha jazolaydilar, lekin ehtiyojlarni Islom bo'yicha ta'minlamaydilar.

Severe punishments are not the only means to deter crime. Islam tackles the problems from all angles. The economic system secures the needs of people and cuts the want for stealing. The education system, through reminding society of accountability to the Creator, cuts the desire for stealing. So all the systems work in harmony. The reason why regimes like Saudi Arabia and Sudan fail is because they only implement parts of Islam side by side with man-made law, such that they punish by Islam but do not secure the needs by Islam.

Xavfsizlik hissi bor jamiyatni tasavvur qiling. Kechasi ko'chalarda yurganda hujumdan qo'rqib orqangizga qaramasligingiz kerak bo'lmasdi va o'g'rilikdan qo'rqib eshik qulflari, deraza qulflari va pochta qutisi qulflarini qo'shimcha sotib olishingiz zarur bo'lmasdi. Bu xayol emas - aslida bu Islom davlati ostida asrlar davomida shunday bo'lgan.

Imagine a society where there is a sense of security. There would be no need to turn over your shoulder when walking the streets at night for fear of being assaulted, and no need to buy extra door locks, window locks and letterbox locks for fear of being burgled. This is no fantasy - indeed it was the case for centuries under the Islamic State.

Bundan tashqari, Islom sud tizimida jamiyatda ezilgan qadriyatlarni, masalan, sharafni ham himoya qiladi. Islomda zino ayblovini qo'yish jazolanadigan jinoyat hisoblanadi, bugungi gazetalar uchun esa bu daromad manbai bo'lib xizmat qiladi.

Furthermore, Islam in its judiciary upholds values that are downtrodden in society, for example honour. In Islam accusing someone of adultery is a punishable offence, whereas for newspapers today it is a source of revenue.

Yana bir misol sifatida e'tiqod masalasini olaylik. Islomda kim Allohning (SWT) biron-bir payg'ambariga haqorat qilsa, u o'ldirilishga loyiq bo'ladi. Bu qattiqqo'llik bo'lib ko'rinishi mumkin. Lekin e'tiqod kamida mulk kabi himoyaga loyiq ekani shubhasiz, chunki Qiyomat kuni bizni qutqaradigan narsa mulkimiz emas, balki e'tiqodimiz bo'ladi.

Or take as another example the issue of belief. In Islam if anyone insults any prophet of Allah (swt) they are subject to be killed. This may appear harsh. But surely belief is at least as worthy of protection as property, for on the day of Judgement it is our belief that will save us, not our property.
