I have meet ladies who have been beaten, battered, and even knocked unconscience by their husbands. I am a strong believer against such abuse. Anything that supports wife beatings shows an example of pure evil. The Quran which is read by Muslims, commands husbands to beat their disobedient wives.
I believe that wives are to be loved and cherished by their husbands, not to be treated like something without feelings. If you truly love someone, is beating her in the head showing it? Wives, would you want your husband beating on you in obedience of the quran?
Islam follows the teachings of the Quran, and this was just one example of the evils that the Quran calls for.
Proper Arabic Language, If you actually knew, 'Tafsir al Quran'
the Meanings and commentary of the Quran, if you actually knew the 'seerah al sunnah', 'Ahadeeth',the stories and life accounts of the lives of the Prophets and his companions and the righteous wives and daughters 'radi Allahu anhumah' may god be pleased with them....
then you wouldn't entertain such thoughts.
My posted message stated that wife beating is evil.
My posted message stated that the quran supports wife beatings.
Your response did not refute the facts. The verse of the quran is supplied below. The key words in the verse below is ,"beat them". "Them", being the wives.
Surah 4:34
"...admonish them (wives), refuse to share their beds, BEAT THEM..."
In my opinion it is pure evil to endorse putting a beautiful precious person though physical pain.
and if you dont know the language which is rich in meaning, and you are taking something OUT of CONTEXT without knowledge what it is REFERRING to,from a TRANSLATION of the meanings,You cant possibly know what the quran says or means and if you dont want to know then why post and expect an answer only to not listen to the answer? round and round and round and round...
It can no longer be covered up by anyone who would attempt to support the quran. The writings are quite clear.
For a man to beat on his wife shows an example of pure cowardness on his part. For the quran to support such an action shows that it contains false teachings and is full of evil.
it also states in the bible many times that parents are supposed to beat their children for discipline when they do wrong..
is the bible therefore evil also?
i do not begin to pretend that i know the Quran in detail..
for all i know the text might even be referring to wives that go and prostitue on the side or have affairs etc/
or do drugs or any other assortment of stuff.
guys beat gals regardless of religion and gals beat guys
folks are going to do what they want to..
whether it is written here or there for permission just justifies in someones mind that it is ok for certain circumstances..
do you spank your child?
many would see that as abuse.. esp an HRS worker !
yet the bible says spare not the rod..
who decides to what lvl that falls to? to what degree?
if it left a bruise is it abuse or is any act of physical violence abuse?
and what of the emotional abuse?
a *good christian can guilt trip children into complete fear of just living a happy spontaneous life.
. and yet never ever lay a finger on them ..
some women actually purposely provoke husbands.. as do some men.
i believe personally that a husband soudl be gnetle yet firm in the headship of a balanced marriage.
as in any business there is a president and vice president/
the very word husband relates to a gardener / one who tends his garden with care and concern for it to blossom under his attentiveness to maintain it.
if a wife is behaving in such a way to teardown that garden then
i think he needs to step up to the plate and be the *head* and say cut the crap.
too many wives think they can walk all over and disrespect their husbands
but respect has to be EARNED also / it is a 2 way street.
by NO MEANS am i saying i condone beating anyone!!!
i guess i am just saying that the words "beat" can mean many different things.. and is often found in the bible also/
for beating willful and stubborn childrens as an examaple.
ps/ i once had a policeman tell me i should "beat my kids butts"
if i had to .. to make them get there on time..
i replied.. so you are telling me to do something, that were i to do so.. you could arrest me for child abuse?
he had no answer..
My message had nothing to do with children. The point here is that the quran supports the beating of wives.
These are motherof4's own written words from a earlier post concerning wives in the the Quran in Surah 4:34 :...admonish them [first] and [next] refuse to share their beds and [last] beat them...."
You need no more evidence then that, that the Quran, Islam, and believing muslims support wife beatings.
For the Quran to support such a monsterous act against wives is totally evil and pleases noone more then the devil.
So your also here to bash Islam, how nice- join in theres plenty for everyone...
You all are completely missing the point- Marriage in islam is just- you wouldnt know because maybe you dont know any muslim marriages- ive seen hundreds and they are basically healthy- and neither husband nor wife had been with anyone else. ( no they were not arranged marriages where the woman has no say, or the man has no say) The woman chooses her husband in islam. This in itself creates intimate trust and love in the couple. Marriage is not something taken lightly, its a deep commitment.
Some christain marriages are like this- but the main stream- high school scene, kids are having kids, drugs abuse, alcoloh abuse its overwhelming. Some christian groups, mormans and other pro homeschooling groups are great, Ive seen them they are devoted to each other. But please understand, the information you think you know all about Islam is coming from a biased point of view and one that hold hatred in the heart for islam relgion, and you also may have this hatred, Ive seen so many attacks and trust me- we arnt attacking your religion, stip attacking and twisting ours.
Thoses links are lies mixed in with truth- its getting old. If you want sound islamic knowledge then look it up your self- if you dont then the garbage you are spreading is just that garbage- i dont want it, neither should you.
The point here has not been about Christians, high schoolers, or mormons. The point is that Islam instructs the husband to beat his wife. There is no excuse to support something so horrorific.
To try to cover-up such a cruel act on wives by attempting to make it look pretty is like having a dinner plate full of garbage surrounded by roses to make it look good. The dinner plate with roses surrounding the garbage is still garbage and noone likes to eat garbage.
The quran shows us through the verse in question, how it is used to embark fear in the wives. It can not be covered-up any longer that the quran is packed with false teachings.
It's interesting to me, how my thoughts and knowledge on Islam are not welcomed by you, but in fact is put down.
However, you seem to be an authority on Christianity and that is supposed to be accepted?
the fact is you (person named Klyd)
seem to have a penchant for nonstop continual putting down of the Faith of people that use the Quran as their religious
belief system (that they have a God-given and Law given right to do so...)
yet you take offense should someone take that stance against
your Basic Christian belief system,
while we (I)
could choose to drag out tons of Bible scripture and take a strongly opinionated close minded view of the massive content
of related murders, slaveries, concubines, beatings etc,
and even deaths of christains simply for lying hmmm
but i am sure you could justify EVERYTHING i might state and continue to be one sided in your view on the beliefs of others.
without giving them the same level of scripture or Quran translation yourself.
i think it would be a supreme waste of my time and my energy to even attempt such a thing,
considering your adherance of mindset to possibly concieve that there is a different perspective you could be overlooking.
in your stance to be completely RIGHT.
i appreciate greatly the understanding of the questionable statements you raised that mother of 4 took a great deal of time to explain.
it certainly gave me a broader perspective of her faith system.
i think it is a shame when folks sling around words like Devil etc/ and attach it to people in such a broadsweeping way.
i believe that as in any society there are abuses of people.. so also since every religion is comprised of humans/ then it stands to bear that such people would reside within each religious structure..(ie: those who justify murder or child abuse, poligamy etc)
no matter who you are, if you are of that nature , you will find a way to abuse words and laws to justify the intent.
but we should not forget that within each structure also resides those that are truly sincere and live in faith towards god and the Law of the Spirit that resides on our hearts written there by the breath of God.
to be able to discern the heart is the nature of the *game*
and it is to the intent of the heart that God will consider us each for the actions we choose..
i do not feel it is my right to deliver that "judgement" myself , but i guess some folks feel it their mission in life to do so..
and who am i even to say that is not a possibility..
maybe you are here simply to help this woman grow in patience and grace towards a person that so obviously has a single mindedness to try to tear her from her belief.
.and destroy the roots of her foundation..
without respect for her freedom of religious belief..
in my eyes, she has done exceedingly well in demonstrating a *love of God * spirit attitude
.. if i did not have my own personal faith,
i would have to admit, she would win me over in a flash
simply by how she has handled herself against the barrage of attacks on her personal beliefs..
i think she is a fine Example of a child of God and i am sure she does him/her honor..
and i have no doubt in my mind that God is pleased with her sincerity of faith
I certainly see no devil in her.
The messages I have supplied had nothing to do with Chrisitanity nor the bible, it only concerned one subject.
SUBJECT:
Evidence that beating of wives is sanctioned by Islamic ideas.
Evidence:
Surah 4:34
However, the severity of the beatings do tend to range from bruises to broken bones. YHWH does not sanction this kind of action and abuse against wives but Allah does.
I'm not here to make friends, I'm only letting the truth be known with the evidence.
Well Im not an authority on Christianity, no -
I was raised in a Christian home, attended CCD ( catholic, sunday school)) sunday masses, bible studies etc. Not an authority, but know the general stance in the society at large and the tremendous pressure on the young in public schools that chrisitanity does not take hold of and protect society from.
Priests taking human nature and suppressing it, only to abuse alter boys with, the pope not addressing or having anything to say about society today, the barrage of drug abuse,homosexuality ( sodom and gomorrah?)It said in my Catholic bible when growing up that the homosexuals have no place in the kingdom of God, so they are not my words sorry of anyone got offended, Im not attacking any homosexuals personally) and that whole can of worms.( kids having kids out of wedlock, violence, evils of t.v. and nudity,loss of morality, murder )
Islam deals with all of it. No drugs, no alcohol, not even a drop because some of us can handle it, while others cannot, and it does hurt society -its been proven. Islam forbids premarital relations- it however promotes courting under the supervision of adults in the area, just like in the good old days( this is just an example): when a father saw a boy in the pioneer days of earlier christianity, he would whip him to death if he thought that boy did anything without the respected bonds of marriage! Its a responsibility that young boys today dont get accustomed to, its immoral and both the girl and boy ( more so the girl) loses when these virtuous laws are broke and tore down. These laws are here to protect mankind and ensure trust and love between spouses. Trust is something, the secure feeling a woman and man need in a marriage happens when one is God fearing.
Also when one is married and one of the partners does have extramarital affairs, its a grave offence. It is death, just like in the bible. IF no one is married then the two guilty get punished, but not death of course. Now this may sound harsh, but if the punishment is severe the crime will be detered. Now some may argue that the death penalty is here and yet people still murder etc, well the system has so many loop holes, not many make it to death row. One can rape many times and get a mere slap on the wrist. ( only to be let back into society so the sick on can prey adn attack again in some cases, one case was a few houses from mine where he broke into an 80 year old widows home and was found dragging her down the steps, a convicted rapist let out and the system put his rights before rest of the communities' )
The reason I put down the post is because it was not true. You have to go to the source if you want an unbiased view. The internet is one of the worst places to find true knowledge about islam, as antimuslim sites abound on the net. You can find them, but you have to dig, and if you dont know the true teachings you wont know the difference between the true and the false or the true with false added to it.
