Quote:Muslimah, here in Canada muslim men do NOT have the legal right to beat and rape their wives.Let us be more clear and specific in using terminologies here:
Do you think that Canadians are right, or wrong, when we refuse to grant muslim men the right to beat and rape their wives? Is Allah pleased, or displeased, with Canadians because we refuse to legalize spousal abuse and rape?
BEAT according to Oxford Dictionary Seventh Edition 1984:
“Strike repeatedly or persistently, esp. to harm or punish; dash or strike repeatedly against; deliver rhythmic blows on (drum etc); remove dust from (carpet etc) by beating; overcome, surpass, win victory over, perplex, be too hard for; fashion or shape, move or shift, by blows; knock loudly at door etc; stir (egg etc) vigorously into frothy mixture; (of bird) move (wings) up and down, (of wings) move thus; mark or follow (time in music) with rhythmic movement,
tapping
, etc make (path) -------->
So in Islam, TAPPING is allowed to warn your NASHEZ wives against their disloyally and disobedience. The Arabic word WADREBOHONNA mean to tap them as a method of saving the marriage bond, and in tapping one should NOT leave any marks on their bodies AT ALL. “I wonder what kind of beating is that?”
Let’s now look at other words you have used:
RAPE: <Forcible sexual intercourse with woman without her freely given consent; violent assault or interference---------->
The above is not allowed in Islam based on the following narrations:
“There shall be no infliction of harm on oneself or others".
“Whoever causes harm to others subjects himself to harm caused by God.”
“You must refrain from dealing wickedly with others, for that would count as a benefaction you do to yourself”.
All these narrations condemned harming OTHERS, which includes one’s wife of course, then how can anyone FORCE his wife by beating her to sleep with him while he is commanded not to harm her? This is your own understanding and not the teaching of Islam. In Islam TAPPING is permitted, and not RAPE OR BEATING THAT LEAVES EVEN A MARK.
You also used the word ABUSE which means:
“make bad use of; maltreat, attack verbally, revile, offensive language------>
The above is not allowed in Islam as well. The Prophet said:
“The best of you is he who is best to his wives”
The prophet never abuses any of his wives and so we should follow his footsteps. And how can we be the best if we abused our loved ones?
So I hope this would end up the discussion on this thread.
