I'm almost definitely sure ''an eye for an eye'' is quoted in the bible, I remember from highschool. It does also say ''turn the other cheek'', but that's basically a contradiction.
Irrespective of the punishment, (which I more or less agree with), I've just never heard this saying in Islam before.
I understand you sister. To be honest i'm (pleasantly) surprised that the court actually took action and were not bought out or anything. Alhamdolilah.

Perhaps that is why country is in the situation it is, in many ways. We want to see more (and more) Islamic laws in practise, instead of this corruption.
Well, this sounds very just to me. Though I don't understand why the human activists disagreed with this punishment handed out to them both. How else would some people understand and fear the consequences?

I think I have come accross the expression before, I think 'Umar Ibn Al Khattab radiAllaahu an may have said such a thing ..I wont say anymore until I know for sure, I'll look it up inshaAllaah.
wa-alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaah.
Pakistan could be so great, if only they brought more Islamic laws into practice, as you say. The solutions are there, just no one to implement them, that's the problem. *Sigh*
Oh right....InshAllah.
assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Im suprised with some comments here. This is in the Qur'an. It is also a proof against the Christians and the Jews who have abandoned the Shari'ah.
Surah Al Ma'idah 5:44-47
44. Verily, We did send down the Taurât (Torah) [to Mûsa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allâh's Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurât (Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allâh's Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed, such are the Kâfirûn (i.e. disbelievers - of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allâh's Laws[]).
45. And We ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which Allâh has revealed, such are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong*!doers - of a lesser degree).
46. And in their footsteps, We sent 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), confirming the Taurât (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurât (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious ).
47. Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what Allâh has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fâsiqûn (the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree) to Allâh.

an 'eye for an eye' is actually mentioned in the Quran

Yes, I know that an "eye for an eye" was firstly expressed in the Torah. But the Torah was an oral tradition for thousands of years. Hammurabi actually was the first to codify the law into a written and posted form for the law of the land. No doubt he used the laws he had been educated in while doing so.
I had grown up thinking it was a pure Torah law but was explained otherwise while studying ancient civ in undergrad.

Imagine living with your ears and nose cut off. Can a person actually survive that? I agree completely with it, though.
