Capital Punishment Other Than Two Ordained In Quran
Assalamualaikum
In Quran Allah said that
Al-Quran
Surah No. 5 – Ayah No. 32
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
مِنۡ اَجۡلِ ذٰ لِكَ ۚكَتَبۡنَا عَلٰى بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ اَنَّهٗ مَنۡ قَتَلَ نَفۡسًۢا بِغَيۡرِ نَفۡسٍ اَوۡ فَسَادٍ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ فَكَاَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيۡعًا ؕ وَمَنۡ اَحۡيَاهَا فَكَاَنَّمَاۤ اَحۡيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيۡعًا ؕ وَلَـقَدۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُنَا بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ ثُمَّ اِنَّ كَثِيۡرًا مِّنۡهُمۡ بَعۡدَ ذٰ لِكَ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ لَمُسۡرِفُوۡنَ ۞
Translation:
Therefore We ordained for the Children of Israel that he who slays a soul unless it be (in punishment) for murder or for spreading mischief on earth shall be as if he had slain all mankind; and he who saves a life shall be as if he had given life to all mankind. And indeed again and again did Our Messengers come to them with clear directives; yet many of them continued to commit excesses on earth.
But if some state think that there is some crime for which we need to add death penalty to stop,so does Islam allow them to add that?

It is not allowed. The verse confines the capital punishment to only these two crimes. In this way God has restricted the govt to execute this punishment to others. It was very much necessary to restrict the governments here, if you know the history you realise how important it was to restrict the governments on this matter. They had been giving death sentences because of their personal motives and due to their fanatic beliefs etc.
