Quoting alameda:
For instance where does it actually say in the Quran that one's hand should be litteraly cut off, or one should be stoned to death for adultery?

005.038
YUSUFALI: As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power.
PICKTHAL: As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
SHAKIR: And (as for) the man who steals and the woman who steals, cut off their hands as a punishment for what they have earned, an exemplary punishment from Allah; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Quoting alameda:
If one reads the Hadiths, one can see there was a great deal of compassion from the Prophet (saw) in dealing with these issues.

Quoting alameda:
I have found reading the works of this woman:
Riffat Hassan
'The Pakistani academic has made a name for herself through her progressive and enlightened interpretation of Islam and the teachings of the Quran.'
