Mashallah/Subhanallah/alhamdulillah (Whichever one applies)
A common misconception about Islam. Even if muslim women are happy and testify that the misconception is not true then until the end of time there will always be people trying to cause disunity in Islam and spread lies about Islam to all non-muslims. Even when people do convert to Islam the argument is either they are brainwashed or they are complete loonies :brother::sister:
This one converted to Islam. Subhanallah

"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
At one khutbah the Imaam was discussing family relations and decided to ask a question. He said "Everyone who is afraid of his wfe, stand up."
They all stood up excpet for one young man. The brothers around him stared at him with disbelief and said "MashAllah brother! you must be a very brave man!"
The young man looked up at them in dismay and said " By Allah! My wife broke my legs! I can't stand!"
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Surely I was sent to perfect the qualities of righteous character" [Musnad Ahmad, Muwatta Mâlik]
The Quran teaches us that we are allowed to hit our wifes after using all other means possible, but we are not to hit them on there faces, and we should not strike hard.
Surah AN-NISA (WOMEN) Verse 34
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
true . hitting a wife shud b the last thing on Earth a Husband shud do .. n if they do hit them ..it shud b only a little slight tap .. and those who hit their wives now n then are considered to b sissys ..theres a hadeeth i read on this .inshallah if i find it .. will post it .. or if any1 else knows it ..then do post it up here . JazakAllahu Khairan
The Prophet said, "Nobody who enters Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on the earth, except a Mujahid who wishes to return to the world so that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he receives (from Allah)."
you need read it in arabic to understand that verse it does not mean "beat" and the prophet (swh) also explained the meaning to this verse where it means to only tap, prohet (swh) was so kind to his wives never once did he mistreat or hit any of them an excellent example, anyone who beats a women is just coward
"Lo! the Hour is surely coming, there is no doubt thereof; yet most of mankind believe not." (Al-Ghafir:59)
One meaning is to "leave them" as a last resort. The other is to "use light force on them" as a last resort. You decide which interpretation you agree with.

interesting .. we all know its DISALLOWED in Islam .. and for sUm Reason if it DOEs cum to that Extent .. then the husbands shud only Tap them Slightly ... the only reason why they wud beat their wives is coz they are Quik Tempered .. n cant control their Anger .. n those who Beat their Wives arent Called MEN at all ..
However if the husband keeps beating the Wife continuously.. then the Wife shud take some STRONG actions n not just Sit there geting beaten up for it can AFFECT the CHILDREN as well..

People need to understand the rights Islam gives to women!
Indeed it's most pure and beautiful. They also need to understand that it is not Islam that Oppresses women but some so-called muslims, whom their own disires have over taken them. They follow their cultures and traditions and reject the law of their Creator.
If Islam Oppresses women how comes there millions of Muslim women? How comes they don't leave Islam? or adopt the culture of the West? Why and how comes young women from the West are coming to Islam?
Indeed! People are getting mixed up between Islam and it's so-called followers. They think that just because a muslim is oppressing a woman then Islam must teach them to do so. This is like blaming a civilian for having a bad prime minister. :
One has only to ponder over how many converts their are to Islam to realise that Islam must be something beautiful indeed.
It is a very big misconception but can we really blame the people for believing it? Or should we blame the muslims themselves for letting them believe it? I'll read that article soon Ansar.
