Exactly! Thank you for pointing that out.
"The adulteress and the adulterer you shall whip each of them a hundred lashes. Do not be swayed by pity from carrying out GOD's law, if you truly believe in GOD and the Last Day. And let a group of believers witness their penalty." (Quran 24:2)
Stoning is not Islamic shariah, but biblical shariah:
When a woman apprehended in adultery was brought to Isa AS or Jesus. he pronounced the time-honored verdict, lie told the huge crowd: Let him who is without sin among you, be the first to cast a stone at her. (John-8). The entire crowd dispersed, realizing that not a single one among them was without sin. But Jesus himself could have stoned her, because hewas without sin. But he did not. He told her to go and sin no more, thus showing his exemplary mercy and incomparable compassion to the woman!
The Quran makes no disticntion between adultery and fornification. For a married slave girl, the punishment is half of that given to a free women, which is 50 lashes (2:24). If someone is to be stoned till death, how on earth could someone halve this punishment? This of course indicates that God never prescribed stoning as punishment for adultery.
People claim to be Muslims, but many do not follow the laws.
"Shall I seek OTHER THAN GOD as a JUDGE, when He has revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED? ....The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words; He is the hearer, the omniscient. Yet, if you obey the majority of people, they will take you away from the path of God. That is because they follow CONJECTURE, and they fail to think." (6:114-116)
Through the Quran, we know that the only authorized laws are the ones that are in the there. Not the Quran law modified by man!
Another point is from this Quran verse:
The adulterer cannot marry any but an adulteress or an idolatress; and the adulteress cannot marry but an adulterer or an idolater; it is forbidden to believers. (24:3)
My question is, how in the world can an adulterer and an adulteress get married if they were stoned to death? To get married, one needs to be alive...not dead!
