A never-ending story on HUDUD. But most politicians failed to realise that HUDUD is just a set of law and it is not all about punishment. It is meant to be a deterrent to all concern and not just the Muslims.
If a Muslim ruler or Muslim dominated government intends to implement HUDUD, it must transcend on every citizen of one country, regardless of ethnic or religion background.
How to achieve this? Well, it is simple enough. Education, Learning and Accepting. We, Muslims, must educate the public what HUDUD is all about. Learn to entice and persuade the public until we reach the level of acceptance.
HUDUD is not just to cut one's hand, to throw stones at adulterers, to cane wrongdoers etc. It is much more than that.
Have anybody ever think why the public seems so scared of HUDUD? It is caused by sheer ignorance by Muslims and the non-Muslims alike. Never want to understand.
Where we Muslims stand n0w? Are we going to just let the politicians politicise HUDUD or educate what it is all about? Are there anybody out there that really can explain how HUDUD come into existence and from where in the Holy Quran that mentioned HUDUD? How the type of punishment is formulated? Where are the sources? These pertinent points need to be addressed and presented before anybody in the political side can debate on this issue!
