1. Defining the Crime:
Theft and Corruption:
In faith jurisprudence, theft (sarqa) traditionally involves the unlawful taking of someone else's property. Hudud punishment, such as hand amputation, is prescribed as a severe deterrent.
Corruption, particularly when it involves the misuse of public office or resources for personal gain, is indeed a form of theft. Corruption takers are, in essence, stealing from the public, often harming the community more severely than petty theft.

2. Severity of Corruption:
Impact on Society:
Economic Harm: Corruption deprives the society of resources meant for public welfare, leading to poverty, inequality, and underdevelopment. In many cases, the amount involved in corruption far exceeds that of typical theft.

Moral Degradation: Corruption undermines trust in public institutions, leading to a breakdown in social and moral order. It breeds injustice, as the corrupt enrich themselves at the expense of the needy.
Widespread Consequences: While theft may affect one or a few individuals, corruption can negatively impact entire communities, or even a nation, by diverting funds from critical services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

3. Parallels with Theft in fatih Law:
Breach of Trust (Amanah):
Both theft and corruption involve a betrayal of trust. In theft, the thief betrays the trust of the individual or society by unlawfully taking what does not belong to them. Similarly, a corrupt official or individual betrays the public trust by misappropriating resources or accepting bribes.

Fatih Principle: The holy book condemns the betrayal of trust, which is at the heart of both theft and corruption. Applying hudud punishment for corruption would be seen as upholding the principle of amanah (trust) and justice.

4. Deterrence and Justice:
Deterrence:

The hudud punishment for theft is intended to serve as a powerful deterrent. Given the often devastating effects of corruption on society, applying similar punishments could serve as a strong deterrent against this crime.

Public Accountability: Severe punishments for corruption could reinforce the notion that those in positions of power are accountable to the public and must uphold the highest ethical standards.

Justice:
Equality Before the Law: In faith, all individuals are equal before the law, regardless of status. If a poor thief can have their hand amputated, why should a wealthy or powerful individual who commits an even greater theft (through corruption) be treated differently?
Restoring Balance: Hudud punishments are designed to restore balance in society. Corruption disrupts this balance on a large scale, and severe punishment could be a way to restore justice and fairness.

5. Historical and Legal Precedents:
Application of Hudud:
While traditional hudud punishments have primarily been applied to theft and adultery, Faith jurisprudence allows for adaptability in applying the law to ensure justice and the welfare of the community (maslahah).
Examples in History: There are instances where rulers took severe actions against corrupt officials, including public humiliation and harsh punishments, to maintain justice and order.

6. Ethical Considerations:
Moral Responsibility:
Those entrusted with public office or resources have a greater moral responsibility. When they engage in corruption, they are betraying not just individuals but entire communities, making their crime particularly egregious.

Faith teachings emphasize justice, honesty, and the protection of public interests. Applying hudud punishments for corruption aligns with these ethical principles by upholding justice and protecting society from harm.

Proliferation of Red Tape: As centralization increases, so does the proliferation of rules and regulations, often enforced by mid-level bureaucrats who may lack the authority to make significant decisions but wield enough power to obstruct progress. These "little Napoleons" create unnecessary obstacles that slow down work processes, increase frustration among workers, and lead to a culture of compliance rather than innovation​.

The over-centralization of authority often results in inefficient processes where decisions take longer to implement, and local nuances are ignored. This can lead to a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to address specific needs, resulting in poorer outcomes. For example, in a highly centralized healthcare system, decisions made by distant bureaucrats may not reflect the realities on the ground, leading to subpar healthcare delivery​

Centralization and Micromanagement: As organizations and governments centralize control, decision-making power is often removed from local entities and individuals. This can lead to a culture of micromanagement, where workers feel their autonomy is stripped away, diminishing their motivation and engagement. When employees lack control over their work, job satisfaction plummets, leading to poorer performance and lower productivity

While the initial use of substances may be driven by the desire to feel better or to overcome feelings of inadequacy or low mood, the long-term consequences often include addiction, physical dependence, and a further deterioration of mental health. What starts as an attempt to correct an imbalance or fulfill an evolutionary drive for reward and satisfaction ends up creating a much more serious problem.

Dopamine: Many addictive substances directly stimulate dopamine release, creating a powerful sense of reward. Over time, the brain's natural dopamine production is diminished, leading to dependence on the substance for pleasure and motivation.
Serotonin: Drugs like MDMA (ecstasy) cause massive releases of serotonin, leading to intense feelings of well-being and connection. However, this can deplete serotonin levels and lead to a crash, which may drive repeated use.
Endorphins: Opiates and alcohol mimic the effects of natural endorphins, leading to pain relief and euphoria. Chronic use can lead to reduced natural endorphin production, increasing reliance on the substance.

The problem with using substances to self-medicate is that while they provide temporary relief, they also alter the brain's chemistry over time. As the brain becomes accustomed to the heightened levels of neurotransmitters, it begins to reduce its own production of these chemicals, leading to tolerance. This means that more of the substance is needed to achieve the same effect, creating a vicious cycle that can lead to addiction.

Alcohol, drugs, and other addictive substances provide a quick and potent way to stimulate the brain's reward system. These substances artificially elevate levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, which temporarily alleviate feelings of depression or dissatisfaction. For individuals whose mood set points are low, these substances might seem like an effective way to self-treat their mood disorders.

Humans are biologically wired to seek out activities that stimulate the brain's reward system. In the past, this drive was met through exploration, social bonding, physical activity, and other behaviors that enhanced survival and well-being. However, in modern society, many people face environments that do not naturally provide these kinds of stimulating experiences. This mismatch between our evolved needs and the modern world can lead to feelings of boredom, restlessness, or low mood.

Fundamentalism, in particular, thrives on the notion of purity—whether moral, ideological, or belief system—implying that any alternative perspectives are inherently corrupt or dangerous. This creates an environment where curiosity is not just discouraged but actively suppressed. The fear of transgressing these boundaries can lead individuals to self-censor their thoughts and inquiries, reinforcing a cycle where curiosity is seen as a threat to stability and order.

They establish rigid frameworks of belief that leave little room for questioning or exploration. These approaches are designed to create a sense of certainty and obedience, often by promoting a singular worldview that is deemed absolute and non-negotiable. This singularity of thought discourages the natural human inclination to inquire, doubt, or seek out new knowledge, as any deviation from the established dogma is often met with social ostracism, guilt, or even punishment.

Indoctrination and fundamentalism are the most effective, powerful, popular and acceptable killers of curiosity. They extinguish curiosity by creating an environment where questioning is dangerous, critical thinking is suppressed, and exploration is limited. They replace the natural human desire to learn and grow with a forced conformity that values obedience over discovery. As a result, curiosity, the driving force behind innovation and understanding, is effectively extinguished.

In a country where leadership is corrupt and the nation's wealth is being siphoned by those in power, encouraging curiosity among the youth is a threat to authority. For example, curious young minds would start asking uncomfortable questions about why their country is lagging behind its neighbors, like Singapore, which could lead to social unrest and demands for accountability. By stifling curiosity, leaders can maintain their grip on power without being challenged.

If young people begin to ask why their country isn't performing as well as others, such as world top performing Singapore, they might start to compare the two nations critically. This comparison could expose the failings of the leadership and the systemic corruption that impoverishes the nation. To prevent these comparisons, discouraging curiosity ensures that the youth remain unaware of alternative models of governance and success, thus preventing any potential questioning of their own country’s failures.
