Islam: The Moderate Religion
So what happens if a man meets a virgin woman are they both punished? It
says in Deuteronomy 22:28-30:
"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and
rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of
silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can
never divorce her as long as he lives. A man is not to marry his father’s wife;
he must not dishonor his father’s bed." (New International Version)
So what is the case if they are not discovered, is it permissible and does the
man still have to pay the penalty? So who is really punished here? The man
who only paid a fine for rape, or the girl who is forced to marry the man who
raped her and live with him until he dies??
Allah states in the Quran about the one who commits fornication:
} ا ِﻦﻳِد ِﰲ ٌﺔَﻓْأ َر َﲈِ ِﲠ ْﻢُﻛ ْﺬ ُﺧْﺄَﺗ َﻻ َو ٍة َﺪْﻠ َﺟ َﺔَﺋﺎِﻣ َﲈ ُﻬْﻨِﻣ ٍﺪ ِﺣا َو ﱠﻞُﻛ او ُﺪِﻠ ْﺟﺎَﻓ ِﲏا ﱠﺰﻟا َو ُﺔَﻴِﻧا ﱠﺰﻟا ْنِإ ِﱠﷲ
ْﻵا ِم ْﻮَﻴْﻟا َو ِﱠﷲﺎِﺑ َنﻮُﻨِﻣ ْﺆُﺗ ْﻢُﺘْﻨُﻛ َﲔِﻨِﻣ ْﺆُْﳌا َﻦِﻣ ٌﺔَﻔِﺋﺎَﻃ َﲈُ َﲠا َﺬَﻋ ْﺪ َﻬ ْﺸَﻴْﻟ َو ِﺮ ِﺧ {
"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 Allâh, if you believe in Allâh 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 Allâh's Law). (An-Nur 24:2)
In Islam the man as well as the woman who commit fornication are both
punished equally. This is complete justice and equality which can only be
found in Islam.
B)Justice and equality amongst the Jews and their dealings with
other people and nations.
If the Jews didn’t establish justice and equality amongst themselves and they
are from the same race and nationality, rather they distinguished between the
strong and weak amongst them, they also distinguished between the noble
and the inferior as we previously mentioned. So how did/do the Jews deal
with non-Jewish people and nations??
Verily the Jewish people view non-Jews as people who are inferior to them
and look down at them in humiliation, disdain and scorn. The true followers
of Musa/Moses were the selected people of their specific time and were
believers in the one and only God as Musa was, but however today it is a
different story.
