Investigating the Implementation of the Rules of Islamic Criminal Law in Afghanistan

Abstract

The rules of Islamic Criminal Law, as the most obvious and complete ruling rules in Afghanistan, play an important role in ensuring real justice, continuity and order of society.

Since criminal behaviour is a violation of Allah’s authority and justice, it requires that it be recognized first, the perpetrators identified, and then the perpetrators be punished. In the rules of Islamic Criminal Law, taking into account the verses of the Quran and the Prophetic tradition, various types of punishments, including monetary penalties, have been considered for all types of crimes. This article examines the rules of Islamic Criminal Law and how it is implemented. In the same way, it is reasonable to punish the offenders and violators of Islamic rules in a society. But the main goal of this article is to apply punishment based on Islamic Criminal Law in Afghanistan to ensure better justice.
