Understanding crime requires distinguishing between legal violation, moral deviation, and political accusation. The Criminals of Islam examines how criminality is defined within Islamic law and how legal categories differentiate between private wrongdoing and public transgression.
About the Book
The Criminals of Islam analyzes the classification of crimes within Islamic jurisprudence, focusing on the conceptual boundaries that determine liability and punishment. The book explains distinctions between fixed penalties (hudud), retaliatory justice (qisas), and discretionary punishment (taʿzir), situating each within broader objectives of justice and social protection. It emphasizes that criminal accountability in Islam is governed by strict evidentiary standards and procedural safeguards, underscoring the ethical framework within which punishment operates. The work also clarifies misconceptions by differentiating between theological condemnation and juridical judgment, showing that legal responsibility requires clear proof and due process. By contextualizing criminal law within its moral and social objectives, the book highlights the balance between deterrence, restitution, and mercy.
