capital punishment is also known as death penalty.It is an execution of offender sentenced to the death after conviction by a court of law of a criminal offense.There are many countries in the world which have abolished this sentence, but there are still some countries which are practicing this procedure. Death penalty is awarded to the people who have killed another person.The prevalence of capital punishment in ancient times is difficult to ascertain precisely, but it seems likely that it was often avoided, sometimes by the alternative of banishment and sometimes by payment of compensation.
In Islamic law, as expressed in the Quran, capital punishment is condoned. Although the Quran prescribes the death penalty for several ḥadd (fixed) crimes including robbery, adultery, and apostasy of Islam murder is not among them. Instead, murder is treated as a civil crime and is covered by the law of qiṣas (retaliation), whereby the relatives of the victim decide whether the offender is punished with death by the authorities or made to pay diyah.
Life is not planned and people tend to do things which they have not planned. I have seen very good people making grave mistakes. This notion forces me to corroborate the lifting of this sentence.There are many complexities of the law system and I would like to say that the real criminals contrive with ways to save themselves from the punishment. Hence i can say that this sentence should be abolished.
