| | The legitimacy of stoning as a form of punishment is derived from the hadith, sayings and written records of the prophet Muhammad. | | | The mere fact that the dignity of the human being is a concern of all cultures and religions should give the impetus to discuss the matter rather than to dismiss it under the pretext that a discussion would constitute a defamation of cultural traditions. | | | On 5 July 2002, the 40-year old Zahid Shah was stoned to death by a mob in the Chak Jhumra village near Faisalabad, because he had called himself "the last prophet of Islam". |

| | Stoning to Death is not Shariah Law |
| | We say that stoning to death is Mosaic Law, Hazrat Moosa (AS) was a major prophet of Allah, and Allah (SWT) revealed His Commandments to him. | | | The doctrines are derived, inter alia, from two principal sources: the dictates of the Divine Being as enunciated in the Holy Quran, and the exemplary life of the Holy Prophet of Islam (S), referred to as the “Sunnah”. | | | Thus it can he seen, with a little insight, that Stoning to death is not even Mosaic law, but a law devised by the conspiratorial machinations of the Rabbis of yore who were truly ollamhs (Arabic: Allamahs), full of the wisdom of the ages, and nonpareil theologians. |
