It is not honour that is wrong in itself. It is the vicarious imposition of honour that is wrong when it is imposed with corporal punishment. Lethal and otherwise.
What was interpreted as moral courage in submitting to an executioner is personal honour showing itself and then being snuffed out. Honour killing is exactly that. The murder of personal honour. Integrity is haram. Not forbidden by God but by a culture that fears it.
Is that not the single lesson of Islam? Of all religions? Niyyah. Faith without works is as hollow as works without faith. Kavanah. The first step of the eightfold path.
Honour only becomes meaningful when it is freely chosen. Once it is imposed it loses reality and becomes no more than violence wearing a mask bearing only a name. It has no substance.
To be without this understanding is merely ignorance.
To impose it by bloody force ... Not the temptation of shaitan, but the human capacity to scar the soul until even paradise becomes only the memory of what a pure heart once imagined.
Honor’s definition is v subjective ? And when we talk about corporal punishment, it raises a few questions about religion or at least about the people sitting on the menbir?
When they chose to stay quiet when a jarga permits revenge against an innocent woman to pay for a crime she never commits ?
When a religion allows stoning to death then it also cares about niyya ?
I feel that a lot of misinterpretation about verses/hadith has been done by some influential preachers along way deliberately or by their limited understanding. And speaking against them can easily be seen as blasphemy, so many people chose to stay silent - but there exist certain loopholes with a lot of whys. The reason a lot of people have turned towards Sufism to get away from rigid interpretations?
Alhamdullilah. Your heart sits in truth. Sad though it makes me to acknowledge such cruelty is performed whilst Ar‑Raḥmān Ar‑Raḥīm is still upon a man's breath. Sickening.
Honor killings are genuinely disgusting... Thousands died because of this. So did their hopes for the future. It's honestly scary how someone can defend it by justifying it through 'morals' or religion. But I don't remember our prophets killing anyone because they were nonbelievers.
as a Pakistani its really heartbreaking to watch what's happening to the 'Islamic Republic of Pakistan' right now..
and sadly this isn't the first time
Thanks for sharing 🤍

If they did this in the West, there wouldnt be any people left.
West is in no credible position to claim this after Epstein files and everything they’re doing in the name of the “War on Terror”
It’s a scary world where honor is still restored this way.
We live in a cruel world
And the audacity those people give solid justifications for their wrongdoings.
