My Edits

Capital punishment in Islam was traditionally regulated by Sharia, the religious law in Islam that comes from the Hadith that lists the sayings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Crimes according to the Sharia laws which could result in capital punishment include murder, rape, adultery, and etc.

Though punishments don't often come directly from the Quran, the ideas of certain types of punishments in accordance to crimes committed, can be brought up such as how Islamic Scholar Numan Ali Khan in a short Youtube video says, "there are many passages where certain things are highlighted more than other".

The reason why there are capital punishments in Islam is to regulate and make sure that humanity is still intact with society which is why the forms of punishments have evolved as time changed to adapt to the ways of living in this life where Islam is also evolving and growing.

In the modern era most Muslim-majority countries adopted criminal legal codes based on European models which has also caused controversy around the World because it was deemed as inhumane as the UN says.

However, there are no Quranic verse that supports the method of stoning in Islam among humans as punishment, but it is presented as a metaphor in Surah 27, Ayat 58, "And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned" translated by Sahih International which also warns Muslims about possible punishments for sinning/committing a crime.
