Wife Beating in Islam – The Rules!
Noble Verses 4:34-36 “(34). 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).
واللاتي تَخَافُون نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ واهْجُرُوهُنَّ في المضاجعِ واضْرِبُوهُنَّ)[ سورة النساء : آية 34.]
Islam and Muslims have long been accused of mistreating women. though, Prophet Mohammad (peace upon him) has never mistreated any of his wives. Yet Muslim men are perceived as aggressive, brutal and barbaric towards women. Domestic violence statistics have been rapidly increasing in developed countries; there is no real numbers because a lot of women are suffering in silence.
The reason that such horrible behavior does occur in the Muslim world is that because a lot of Muslims are using this verse as an open license to beat their wives, there is no doubt that culture and media played a rule in leading to women abuse but beating a wife or a woman in the name of religion makes a valid excuse for a lot of Muslim Men.
A lot of religious people interpreted the verse differently; some said this verse means beating your wife but ” lightly”. However, I believe that there is no such a thing called ” hitting lightly” in the adults world, once a man starts a physical fight it turns ugly. Saudi television host, Rania Al Baz who was beaten up badly by her husband and almost got killed is one of the most famous stories of women abuse in Saudi Arabia.
On the other hand, others believe that it means ” wadrobohn” which is an Arabic word that has different meanings such as strike or hit that this verse means the separation or divorce as last option.
I found this interesting video on you tube of a religious man instructing Muslim men how to beat their wives!
Isn’t this ironic?!!!!!
How about Muslims women who want to know how to beat their husbands?
Mistreatment and abuse of women, and wives in particular is condemned by Islam, Considering the following Hadith narrated by Abu Huraira in Tirmidhi: the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,” The one most perfect in his faith is he whose conduct is best and the best amongst you is he who behaves best towards his wife.”

I’m not going to say that Christianity is superior to Islam, because I think they are both great religions, but I think you would agree with what the Bible says on the topic
Ephesians 5
22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31″For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[c] 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
It puts love at the foundation of marriage. You would never beat someone you love

first of all, i would like to thank u Omimah , really good job . i am proud of u my dear .
my comment about what u said is Islam abuse. what has happened is not our religion , the problem is behavior of islamic people…….
the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,” The one most perfect in his faith is he whose conduct is best and the best amongst you is he who behaves best towards his wife.”
I think that is not a question of religion but a question of education.I have a neibourgh who is proud to say to her friends that everytime the husband id not kind enough, she splits or putting something dirty in his soup before to serve it to him. I don’t say what she is putting inside and I don’t say what religion cause I don’t want to make discriminations:-)
Good for her! I don’t understand why a spirital book would even say to beat your wife, in any way. I don’t get it.
It was a excellent piece of writing as usual buddie
