Punishment  
     
1. Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.”  
2.

The Prophet said, “Disaster that befalls the world is not punishment from Allah, but either from the hand of man or the cycle of the Earth and heavens. Any person who claims divine retribution is a liar and mischief maker.”

 
3.

The Prophet said, “Do not rely upon scripture and sayings for the measure of punishment but the love and mercy of Allah.”

 
4.

The Prophet said, “Punishment should not reside in the hands of preachers nor tyrants, but in the hands of courts that uphold fair laws and right of defence.”
