To clarify things for the last time, it's YES but in time. A revolution which includes severe changes in people's life should mainly aim the next generation. Those hand cuttings and stoning to death have became huge sterotypes btw like flying carpets and harem thanks to orientalism. I am not saying they don't exist but they were mostly deterrent. As if people getting executed and beaten in here and there. How many times events like that took place in 600 years of Ottoman rule?
Maybe this will give you a clue.
Allah did not send down all the laws at one time. The Quran was sent down over a period of 23 years. In the first 13 years of Mecca, none of these laws were sent down. As a matter of fact, if you analyze the Meccan Surahs, they all talk about Tawheed, Shirk, Day of Judgment, and Hell, Heaven etc. This was done in order to first build up the faith of the believers. Then in Madina, the laws were sent down. This is to teach us that people change gradually and not just overnight. This is the wisdom that Muslims even apply today. That if there is a sinner and wishes to turn back to God, he doesn’t conform to all the of laws and quit all the sins he does over night. His mind would eventually pop and lose hope of ever changing. But a person is to change gradually.
Drinking was a part of the lives of the people at that time and Allah in his divine wisdom had them quit gradually. This was Allah’s plan the whole time. But if Allah were to completely prohibit drinking all at once, it would have been very difficult for them to abide by that law immediately. This simply shows Allah’s mercy and consideration for his creation.
