  • Masha'Allah! 

  • Nowhere in the Quran is there an example given of beating a woman. If you ever have a question, always return to the original Arabic.

    "Those who listen to the word, then follow the best of it; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it is who are the men of understanding." Surah 39:18

  • Men are not allowed to hit women. 'idrib' is the word used in Arabic, which means 'to banish, to strike, to smite'. The root word is ‘drb’, not 'wkz' for ‘to strike’ as in Surah 28:15.

    Moses banished a path in the sea for the Bani Israel: Surah 20:77, 26:63

    As the Quran shows, when women are unwilling to submit to Allah we are to banish them, even divorce them if necessary. Surah 33:28, 66:5-6

    Surah 65:6 “…and injure them not to straiten them.”

  • هنا لا أمر متضاد أو غیر واضح، و أمر الله فی صورة البقرة أیضا واضح، و لا مناقشة هنا، لازم أن تضرب الإناس و هی قوانین الإسلامیة لا غیر، و فریضة لنا أن نتغیر قوانین مبتنی علی مصادر العقل و الإجتهاد.

  • Jim & Sekai Holland = TRUE ZIMBABWEAN HEROS & PATRIOTS

  • i really love the architecture that aljazeera has in their rooms.
