需要指出的是，伊斯兰国所施行的刑罚，是遏制和预防犯罪过程中的最后手段。伊斯兰是一种"丁"（生活方式），其中各项制度彼此协调运作，构成一个完整、相互补足的整体。

It must be noted that the punishments administered by the Islamic State are the last resort in the process of curbing and preventing crime. Islam comes as a deen (way of life) where all the systems work in harmony, making an integrated and perfectly complementary whole.

Thus, the Economic System will ensure that all the citizens of the State will have their needs adequately fulfilled such that no-one need resort to crime to sustain themselves. As well, the Education System will teach the people the mentality of rejecting any kind of crime, all of which are forbidden in Islam, in favour of obedience to Allah (swt).
