It is extremely amusing how currently in the Australian Media they are having a go at Islam due to a video that became public of two sisters in a talk discussing how a husband should beat his wife. These two sisters were discussing how after verbal admonition (towards a disobedient wife), that the last resort may be physical admonition, and this is something that has been expanded upon by the scholars. It is true that as a last option, it is allowed to admonish them physically and this is not something we reject (Surah Nisaa:44), but what sort of physical admonition is actually meant? As the sisters stated, it may simply be a strike to the palm with a folded handkerchief or type of light cloth, not a log, not a clenched hand, not a whip, or anything of that sort! 

Imam al-Raazi mentions:

أن يكون الضرب بمنديل ملفوف أو بيده ولا يضربها بالسياط ولا بالعصا

It should be a striking with a folded handkerchief or his palm, and he should not strike her with whips or clubs. [Tafseer al-Raazi 4:34]

Furthermore, a brother expands on this beautifully and mentions:  “The “striking” without pain is only a teaching mechanism intended to draw attention to the seriousness of major sins and reform bad behavior. It is not intended to punish, humiliate, or degrade the dignity of a wife, nor is it meant to injure or harm her. For this reason, classical scholars placed strict limits on this and recommended a man use nothing more than a handkerchief.”

The irony is, as they are all exploding in anger and hatred at Islam in this delicate matter by which they bark “domestic violence” and abuse!”, for many, it is their own religions and values that in reality contains nothing in regards to how women truly should be dealt! Unlike Islam, it protects, and dignifies women, and seeks to safeguard them from all harm - physical, social and emotional. Which of their religions and values from their doctrines, books and texts promote the good treatment of women like that of Islam!? Rather, you will find many of their households, with men with no morals, men who come home drunk and abuse their wives (which Islam strictly prohibits), men who come home in a state of anger (by which Islam promotes strict control and restraint), and many other determinants which exist that lead to domestic violence that this religion has catered for, to prevent evil and harmful outcomes. 

Allah says in His Book, the divine source of guidance for all Muslims:

وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ

“And live with them in kindness” [4:19]

And indeed, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the best of creation, the man which all Muslims are required to follow in his actions and dealings said:

استوصوا بالنساء خيرًا

“Treat women gently”

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

خَيْرُكُمْ خَيْرُكُمْ لأَهْلِهِ وَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ لأَهْلِي

“The best of you is the best to his wives, and I am the best of you to my wives” [Tirmidhi]  

And the Prophet said,:

اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمُوهُنَّ بِأَمَانَةِ اللَّهِ

“Fear Allah regarding women. Verily, you have taken them as a trust from Allah” [Tabarani]

It was reported in Sahih Muslim by the Prophet’s wife, A’ishah  رضي الله عنه who said:

مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَادِمًا لَهُ وَلَا امْرَأَةً

“The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not strike a servant or a woman” 

And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ  further said:

لَقَدْ طَافَ بِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ نِسَاءٌ كَثِيرٌ يَشْكُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ لَيْسَ أُولَئِكَ بِخِيَارِكُمْ

“Many women have come to the family of Muhammad complaining about their husbands hitting them. These men are not the best among you.” [Abu Dawud]

Moreover, Imam  ʻAzizamabadi commented in regards to this Hadith, 

“The words: they are not the best of you, refers to the men who are striking their wives strongly or without restriction; rather, the best of you are those who do not strike their wives.” [Awn al-Maʻbud ʻala Sunan Abu Dawud 2146]

It is only the fool and the ignorant one that has no understanding of the wisdom behind the rulings within Islam, that will make such claims that Islam endorses domestic violence. Verily, it is is Islam that teaches its followers to treat women kindly and gently, it is Islam that teaches its followers that the best of believers are those who are best to their wives, it is Islam that teaches its followers that one should deal with their wives honorably and should provide them their rights.  Indeed, the one who acts on the contrary has nothing to do with Islam nor the Sunnah of the Prophet  ﷺ.

So my boyfriend came out as trans last night and I realized something… back when we first started dating we identified as lesbians, then I came out as trans and consequently realized I’m bisexual, and now I’m in a gay relationship. So what I’m trying to say is that I have actually been LGBT as a singular person. Every single acronym. I have ascended and reached gay nirvana

I don’t care if the person you’re telling is your best friend or your priest or your dog or whatever.  

Learn to keep secrets, people.  I swear some of you have no common sense.  

If you don’t understand discretion, you’re not cut out for this work.
