Understanding Serious Punishments in Islam for Kids

In Islam, there are rules about how to handle really serious bad actions, but these rules are meant to be fair and kind. A long time ago, in some cases, people used a punishment called beheading, but the Quran, which is Islam’s holy book, doesn’t say to do this. Instead, it comes from old stories about what the Prophet Muhammad did.

Here are the main situations where this punishment was used in the past:
1. If someone hurts another person on purpose and takes their life: The family of the person who was hurt could ask for a big punishment, like beheading, but they could also forgive or ask for money to help instead.
2. If someone does dangerous things like stealing or hurting people in a big way: This is called *hirabah*, like being a robber who scares everyone. Beheading was sometimes used to keep people safe.
3. If someone leaves Islam and causes trouble: Some old rules said this could lead to a big punishment, but the Quran doesn’t say this, and many people today don’t agree with it.

These punishments needed super strong proof, like lots of people seeing the bad action or the person saying they did it without being forced. A judge had to decide carefully, and it wasn’t supposed to happen quickly or easily.

The Quran loves kindness and forgiveness. It says it’s better to forgive or find other ways to fix things, like paying money to help the person who was hurt. Today, most people don’t use beheading because they think kindness and fairness are more important, and they follow the Quran’s message of being gentle.

#IranExecutions2025: Surge in Political Dissent Hangings

In Iran, executions for political dissent are carried out by hanging, not beheading, under the Islamic Republic’s strict interpretation of Sharia, often using vague charges like "enmity against God" (moharebeh), "corruption on earth" (efsad-e fel-arz), or "armed rebellion" (baghi). These target protesters, activists, ethnic/religious minorities (e.g., Kurds, Baluch), and those accused of ties to opposition groups or foreign entities (e.g., Israel, PMOI). In 2025, executions have surged, with at least 841 reported by August 28, including political cases, a 75% increase from early 2024. Notable cases include 11 tied to the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests, five Sunni prisoners in April, and others for espionage or dissent. Trials often involve torture, coerced confessions, and no fair process, violating international law and Quranic calls for mercy (e.g., Surah 5:45). Rights groups like the UN and Amnesty condemn this as state intimidation, with at least 50 political prisoners on death row. The Quran doesn’t explicitly support such punishments for dissent, and modern scholars criticize their misuse.

#SaudiExecutions2025: Beheadings for Political Dissent Surge

Saudi Arabia uses beheading for executions under a strict Sharia interpretation, often targeting political dissent as "terrorism" via vague laws (e.g., "disrupting public order"). In 2024, a record 345 executions occurred, with ~41% for non-lethal acts like protests or tweets; 2025 has seen 300+ by September, including ~30 political cases. Shia activists (42% of terrorism executions) and journalists face disproportionate targeting. Trials in the Specialized Criminal Court lack fairness, using torture and no legal counsel, violating international law and Quranic mercy (e.g., Surah 5:45). Notable 2025 cases include Turki al-Jasser (journalist, June 14) and multiple Shia protesters. Despite reform pledges, the surge continues, condemned by the UN, HRW, and Amnesty as state repression. At least 50 political prisoners remain on death row.

#TalibanExecutions2025: Extrajudicial Killings Target Political Dissent

In Afghanistan under Taliban rule since 2021, political dissent—such as criticism, ties to the former government, or activism—is primarily suppressed through extrajudicial killings rather than formal executions. The Taliban’s strict Sharia interpretation allows judicial executions (shooting or beheading) for qisas (murder, Quran 2:178), with 10 public cases since 2021, including 4 on April 11, 2025, in stadiums. However, dissent faces secret killings: UNAMA documented 218 extrajudicial killings of former officials/security forces by mid-2023, with 9 more in early 2024, plus 98 arbitrary arrests and 20 torture cases. A July 2025 “kill list” targets ex-government affiliates. No fair trials; actions violate Quranic mercy (Surah 5:45) and ICCPR. UN, HRW, and Amnesty condemn these as “relentless repression” of journalists, women, and minorities (e.g., Hazara), with 47+ ANSF killed/disappeared post-takeover. Over 400 await execution, and 213 floggings in 2025 target dissent-related “crimes.”
