As for the drinking of wine, it can be seen in the sunnah where the Prophet commanded the Muslims during his lifetime to whip a person who drank intoxicants.
Although the canning punishment is of had in nature, it is also considered the major punishment in ta’zir crimes based on the Al-Quran and also the Sunnah.
For instance, the Al-Quran stated that as those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly) This quranic verse will apply to women who commit Nusyuz which is disobedience to their husband. And beating lightly as a punishment is considered as whipping or canning.
Besides, in a Hadith, the Prophet said “Teach your child prayer at the age of seven, and beat him if he fails to do so at the age of ten”. This implies that canning or whipping is applicable as ta’azir

When a criminal was branded, a mark was burnt into their skin used more for an identification mark rather than a punishment (Schrader). Capital punishments were often used in the Renaissance era.

hammed. Byzantine and the Muslims worlds were the very first in the western world to base their governing off of their monotheistic beliefs.

We have all encountered this situation: A small child is standing in the middle of a department store throwing a complete temper tantrum demanding a toy. His mother, exasperated threatens him with time-outs and other deprived privileges, but the stubborn child continues to kick and scream. In the "old days," a mother wouldn't think twice about marching the defiant child to the bathroom and giving him a good spanking to straighten him out, but these days, parents have to worry about someone screaming child abuse. Whether or not to spank a child has become a heated issue in today's society.
Spanking is the most used, traditional form of physical punishment, consisting in a beating applied on the buttocks. It involves striking the buttocks repeatedly, usually as a physical punishment, with an open hand. Spanking can also be implemented including belts, whips, rods, paddles, or any other household item.
Campbell's Soup Cans work suggests a mechanical uniformity that is repeated in the thousands of homes that have a similar object, a banal and common representation of the spirit of our time. Warhol continued to express his ideas about consumerism and kept using repetition in his work. He created several works that involved the same theme of Campbell’s Soup Cans throughout the years.Campbell’s Soup Cans is a work of art produced by pop artist Andy Warhol in 1962. It consists of thirty two canvases of the same size, each 20x16 inches, with a painting of one can of Campbell’s soup, each representing one of the flavors that the company offered in that time. Because of this, it is also known as 32 Campbell’s Soup Cans. The individual paintings were done with a semi mechanized process of serigraphy ("Campbell's Soup Cans").
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “child abuse” is defined as “mistreatment of a child by a parent or guardian, including neglect, beating, and sexual molestation”(Webster). “Physical abuse involves physical harm or injury to the child. It may be the result of a deliberate attempt to hurt the child, but not always. It can also result from severe discipline, such as using a belt on a child, or physical punishment that is inappropriate to the child’s age or physical condition” (Child Welfare Information Gateway).However, parents look to justify their actions through the bible by saying “spare the rod spoil the child”. “But there is a big difference between using physical punishment to discipline and physical abuse. The point of disciplining children is to teach them right from wrong, not to make them live in fear” (Child Welfare Information Gateway).

...reate an abusive situational outcome. Abuse results in injury to the child (Gershoff, 2002). Although, the result of the psychological damage can be all the same in the end. It is unnecessary to physical discipline a child because of the abusive aspects of it. Many different variations of discipline have been found and that work effectively, therefore making the use of physical discipline unnecessary. The psychological results are similar to injury— they are just internal, mental injuries— the kind of injuries that can be associated with physical abuse.
Islam is a major world religion. Its origin can be traced back to 610 CE in Arabia. The basis of this religion is the revelations to the prophet Mohammad. Dissatisfied with his life, he traveled to deserts, hills, and the wilderness surrounding Mecca, where he lived, to meditate and reflect. He became a new man through his revelations, which many of his followers believe Allah transmitted to him through his angel Gabriel. Islam was originally an Arab religion, but many different beliefs and practices were added to it, making it extremely popular and aiding in its rapid spread. This new religion spread to many different areas surrounding Arabia, both under Mohammad and after his death. The Muslim Empire grew to encompass Spain and the Eastern Roman Empire as well Persia and Africa. Many different practices and methods were used to spread Islam. The religion itself was appealing to, in addition to the inhabitants of Arabia, other people in the surrounding areas because of its distinct religious beliefs and practices, such as the five pillars, as well as the humility and prayerfulness of the Islamic people. They fought cruel, vicious wars with their enemies. Many different things motivated the warriors to expand, but above all, the riches they would gain from the people of the Fertile Crescent encouraged them to expand.

Because the beliefs, education and cultures of people vary so much, along with the age of the child, methods of child discipline vary widely. The topic of child discipline involves a wide range of fields such as parenting, behavioural analysis, developmental psychology, social work and various religious perspectives. Advances in the understanding of parenting have provided a background of theoretical understanding and practical understanding of the effectiveness of parenting methods.
There are many forms of domestic violence but the more prevalent types that I will discuss are physical abuse, verbal abused, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, social abuse and economical abuse. Every nine seconds, a husband physically abuses his wife in the U.S. (Schwartz & Scott, 2003). Physical abuse is any action that is taken against another person that inflicts pain and harm in order to control or intimidate whether in public or private. Pushing, slapping, punching, biting, kicking are just so...
I think in order to uphold the justice of Malaysia, a part of the morality should be mandated by law, but another part of morality cannot be mandated to the law. This is because as mentioned above, moral's right or wrong cannot be clearly measured, it is based on personal conscience. However, the law can be clearly measured whether a person makes mistakes and will be punished according to law. However, we cannot include all moral principles in the law. This is because if we include all moral in the law, it may become illogical and unnecessary. For instance, Immanuel Kant is a philosopher and he says law adjusts people's external relations, while morality
