Rajam (Stoning) in the Quran

 

There is no stoning punishment in the Quran.

 

But stoning according to the Quran was the practice of the Musyrikeen.

 

SHU’AIB WAS THREATENED TO BE STONED:

Surah Hud 11:91

They threatened, “O Shu’aib! We do not comprehend much of what you say, and surely we see you powerless among us. Were it not for your clan, we would have certainly STONED you, for you are nothing to us.”

 

ASHABUL KAHFI WERE THREATED WITH STONING

Surah Al-Kahf 18:20 

For, indeed, if they find out about you, they will STONE you ˹to death˺, or force you back into their faith, and then you will never succeed.”

 

 

IBRAHIM WAS THREATENED BY HIS MUSYRIKIN FATHER

Surah Maryam 19:46  

He threatened, “How dare you reject my idols, O Abraham! If you do not desist, I will certainly STONE you ˹to death˺. So be gone from me for a long time!”

 

NUH WAS THREATENED

RETURNING TO JAHILIYAH?

 

5:50  Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance [afaḥuk'ma l-jāhiliyati] that they desire? And who is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure.
