Abstract

Capital punishment, as one of the most controversial issues in different societies, particularly within Islam, has generated serious tensions between ethical principles and human rights. This article examines these challenges and offers recommendations for future research. The first proposed direction is an international comparative analysis of the judicial systems of different countries and the religious and cultural interpretations of the death penalty. Such studies may help identify the strengths and weaknesses of judicial policies and facilitate the exchange of successful experiences. The second recommendation concerns an examination of the psychological and social effects of capital punishment on offenders, victims, and their families. Such research may contribute to identifying the social and psychological harms arising from the implementation of this punishment and possible strategies for mitigating them. The role of the media in shaping public opinion regarding the death penalty also constitutes an important area for future research. These studies may provide a better understanding of how the media influence governmental policies and legislative reforms. Furthermore, the development of Islamic jurisprudence in a manner compatible with modern human rights principles and concepts may assist in identifying appropriate approaches for responding to the contemporary needs of society. Research on victims’ rights may also help clarify the balance between the rights of victims and offenders and identify effective mechanisms for safeguarding these rights within judicial systems. In addition, analyzing the influence of international developments on domestic policies and examining legal reform initiatives in Islamic countries may contribute to improving judicial systems and reducing or abolishing the death penalty. Finally, a philosophical and ethical analysis of capital punishment may illuminate the existing conflicts between ethical principles and judicial laws. Such research can foster scholarly and cultural debates concerning the concepts of life, death, and justice and contribute to the formulation of more humane approaches to punishment.
