A Realistic Look at the Philosopy of Punishment in Islamic Law and the Place of Prevention in it

One calamity in liberal arts researches is a biased and even prejudiced attitude toward studied issues. The philosophy and reason of using penalty in Islamic laws is an issue not being protected fromsuch kind of attitude and it has even impeded some great penal law authors from a   rightconception on Islamic law and its purposes. In common law penal systems, penalty philosophy is based on two main attitudes: teleology and background orientation which represent their own strong arguments and basics in their theories. In contrary, in Islamic penal law, its major difference with common law penal systems is in its emphasis on modification and rehabilitation in this vein, special attention to   prevention and even predicting surrounding risks has distinguished this  system from other systems so that one can claim if Islamic commands  and guidelines are utilized  correctly will be no need to implement many   determined punishments.
