of a person who did emotional & mental abuse to someone, which is invisible & cant be seen with naked eyes but can only be felt & in reaction to that the person at the receiving end did something visible as in say physically torturing someone?
Are there any set of punishments given in Islam for tortures & abuses which are invisible?
Okay, first of all, let us just be kind, generous and humble to humanity and talk about punishment later.. because this is what Uswa-e-Hasanah teach us.. so if a person is abusing someone, he/she should not react to it in the same way.. infact a best reaction is a smile and polite & peaceful behaviour.. one can do dua for them to become a nice person.. He/She can recite the Ayaah number 75 of Surat-An-Nisa..
you know it happens to people all the time that they get angry, behave badly, etc etc.. but did you know what makes them do that?? ofcourse shaitaan.. which is an ultimate enemy of muslims.. so try to remain calm all the time and keep smiling.. and dont forget to forgive everyone.. May ALLAH bless us all with happy and ideal life, amen..
coming to your second point.. Islam strictly prohibits anger, bad-mouthing, bad-behaving and torturing, etc.. it falls in the category of Haqooq-ul-Ibaad.. and there are several Aayahs & Ahadees on it.. which clearly tells that Haqooq-ul-Ibaad are must and ignoring them will put you in fire..
again temporary insanity is prohibited in Islam, there is a hadees, that “if you gets angry, change your position, like if you’re standing, then sit down, sitting then lay down, laying then stand up”.. means it is not allowed to get angry in any situation with people..
and to make it easy, before doing anything, think that what will Prophet Muhammad (SAW) would do if He was at your place.. obviously He would do the best of elegance..
okay, now to your first query.. Yes there are punishments for torturing in Islam in here and hereafter.. I cant say about hereafter cause ALLAH is the most merciful.. but here, the rulings are, that if someone is torturing, Qaazi/authority should be informed by his/her actions.. They must warn him, and if it dont work, authority can punish him in several ways and also can throw him out of community/territory as in (be-dakhal)..
You’ve asked the same question before. You’re question is too vague for a proper answer. If you specified exactly what the person might have done, then it might be easier to tell you if/what the punishment might be.
Its not about a specific person who did some thing, I am asking generally & its just mere observation of mine that how people provoke & instigate others & get them to do things which they wont otherwise.
All I am asking is what is the punishment of things one can do to someone which are invisible? Emotional abuse & mental torture for example.
Are there only punishments for those crimes in Islam which can be seen with naked eyes lets say murder & not for invisible ones as in emotional toture which might have led someone to murder? Will Allah take care of such crimes in akhirah as they are unseen?
By punishment I’m guessing you mean by the state or through the courts based on the way you’re phrasing your question. Well, I know that there can be legal rulings against people even in matters where there is no hadd penalty prescribed or carried out. However, in terms of what and to what extent would be highly case/facts specific.
Punishment by state & through courts will totally depend on which country you are residing in & what laws they have got, if they have shariah law then they will act accordingly if not then otherwise. And I think its obligatory for a muslim, once in that particular country, to to abide by their rules, shariah or otherwise, even if they are against Islam & if they are not liking it then they can migrate, religiously speaking, correct me if I am wrong but thats a different topic altogether.
Khair all I am asking is what Islam says & what shariah law says about these unseen crimes.
I know every country has its own laws, but that’s not what I was talking about. The state/court were specified only to denote that any legal penalties are the jurisdiction of the state or court and not for people to take into their own hands. Anyhow, for a ruling to be derived from a shariah court, that would depend on the specific facts and evidence presented.
^ what evidence can you present of unseen crimes like emotional abuse & mental torture? But as a result of that if someone murders someone then thats visible & that can be proved with evidence unlike mental torture & other unseen crimes.
^ So one will be punished for such unseen crimes in Akhirah & not in this world as shariah law doesnt provide us with punishments for lets say emotional & mental abuse? & what about temporary insanity?
A ruling could be made against someone in a legal decision (based on shariah) for something like emotional and mental abuse. However it’s only fair that any accusation be investigated and ascertained before actually punishing someone for an alleged crime.
^ How can one even investigate? No one can measure emotional & mental abuse & its intensity given the fact that pain thershold for every individual is different.
So on what basis do you think any penalty should be administered? Your question is very vague in its details for an answer as specific as what a punishment is/should be. In general, in order to make a ruling against anyone, the facts and evidence would have to be considered. Whatever those would/could be would be very dependent on the specifics of the situation.
^ I dont know, I am just asking what is the punishment for unseen/invisible crime according to shariah law in this world. Is there anything mentioned in Quran & Hadees regarding such abuses & their punishments? I tried to give an example in post # 8
Well before the law everyone is innocent until proven guilty. So any punishment would only apply when something is proven. Your last response here also indicates that what you’re referring in terms of the crime is something that can be subjective, so that doesn’t really help.
true but such things fall under haqooq-ul-ibad category so if the victim decides not to forgive then that person is not forgiven no matter what.
All I am wondering about is what is the punishment of unseen/invisible crimes?
Like for example A is cursing B & in reaction of A’s action B beats the crap out of A, all people will see the visible part like beating A, bruises & all but no one will see the unseen instigation & provocation of A. What Islam says about this? What shariah law says about this?
