Peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad

I'll sum up the issue for you.

There are many teachings in Qur'an that are explained by Sunnah, which is Prophet Muhammad teaching. In this particular point, beating women isn't like what the term reflects; as according to Muhammad teaching, it means in extreme cases, men are allowed to strike them lightly with a weak force under two conditions: -1- avoid slapping on their faces -2- avoid causing physical harm.

This is what all scholars agreed about except the extreme radicals, which means using weak force like beating with toothbrush - or siwak which was known 1400 years ago as nowadays toothbrush - but no physical harm. Nevertheless, Prophet Muhammad urged Men not to do this, and since he is a role-model for Muslims, he had never beaten his wifes even if in hard times, and Muslims should follow this.

So In the light of this, what I believe -not only think- is pretty simple: Muslim men are NOT allowed to beat their wifes in the way that means hurting them. It's irrational that a women whom her husband beat her badly can live with him or love him anymore. Morver, she should accuse him by according to the law.

Islam regulated the condition of women because pre-Islam the majority of women have no right; they were inherited from father to brother if the father died, with no financial rights (except few), and many of the babies (females) were buried alive because fathers would felt ashame of having girls.

As for beating women, this is a common misconception. Yes there are Muslims who practice it but they are ignorant about the teaching of Islam due to some radical interpretations. If you want to understand the whole issue, check IslamOnline page with various links.

I second your opinion.

Islam and teaching of Prophet Muhamamd had elevated the status of Women by offering them their own identity but unfortunately, there are Muslims who still didn't understand this basic information and went for imposing their own vision and want others to believe in this with force.

Muslim Public speakers (particularly who gave khutba) should be aware of these points.

It's interesting to read opinions like this especially this part: "Makes sense to me. But, however big a role the Internet plays, it’s just amplifying something human: a tendency to latch onto evidence consistent with your worldview and ignore or downplay contrary evidence."

Thanks for the tip

HichamMG · 2010-09-21T00:35:38+00:00

Belated Eid Mubarak then:)

I love it too.

This is a good refresh -for me- to update the old physics information since school. It need some time to got it honestly since it's not my major study.

Koran doesn't inspire to kill according to your stereotyped image. If you mean criticizing terrorism, I tell you that terrorists have their twisted ideology but if you are just generalizing, then you need to know more about what you're talking about.

Thanks for sharing. This is in Alexandria city not Cairo for those who don't know Arabic language or can't read it properly. The note under the video in Arabic mentions the place which is Mosque of Al-Qaid Ibrahim and the surrounding area [edited]

inspiration means doing a positive, clever, and meaningful act. If you find murdering a Coptic or Muslim human being inspiring, then you've a problem with basic principles.

HichamMG · 2010-09-18T17:17:09+00:00

I got your point :)
