The passage has so nicely elaborated the philospohy behind Islamic punishments that it leaves hardly any doubt in the readers mind. Esp. the part describing the considerations while implementing flogging/lashing is so appealing that it can almost change the perception of many (Non) Muslims about Islamic punishments being ruthless and unhuman; it shows how considerate and human in nature these punishments and this whole system are.

God bless you!
