Do those objecting the rulings of retaliation, and Islamic punishments and Jihad, introducing them as the signs of violence, call heavenly and earthly calamities and divine punishments as violence and introduce God violent! However, we believe that divine calamities and chastisements embracing the sinners, are a mercy although they may seem apparently violent! Quran says:

و ما ارسلنا فی قریه من نبی الا اخذنا اهلها بالبأساء و الضراء لعلهم یضرعون

We have sent no Prophet to any city but that We seized its people with misery and hardship, that haply they might be humble.(41)

The man in ease and affluence does not listen the prophets, but when he is involved in difficulties, he listens them and is ready to accept the truth.

Therefore, divine chastisements for awakening the sinners and resulting in their return and repentance to God, is not violence. Rather they are the same divine clemency and benevolence.
