Omar Suleiman said a story about a woman who was a prostitute and she gave water to a dog when she was thirsty herself, and God enters her into paradise as a result of that. Considering this story, why do people in Islamic countries punish prostitutes badly and in some places even kill them? (I used to live in an Islamic country and I am curious to hear the responses of Muslims),(reply>), To answer your question: The punishment of God in this world does not necessarily mean punishment in the next world; quite the reverse, it may purify the sin and elevate the punishment in the afterlife (look up the story of the man who committed fornication and wanted the Prophet Muhammad - PBUH - to punish him). And if the person truly repents like that woman, even without the right punishment being inflicted, God is the Most Merciful and can forgive them and raise them to the highest of ranks.,(reply>), That's a government problem.,(reply>), Stoning to death is the punishment for fornication in Islam (for married people). But I don't know actually any country that applies this today, so I don't know waat country you're talking about.,(reply>), prostitution is bad, its better to be a housewife and have husband pay for sex by housing and feeding you. is technically the same thing, but more honorable.,(reply>), Let's talk 🍀⬆️⬆️⬆️
