what is it about allah that makes muslim men want to beat their wife?
483212
Islam does not permit men to beat their women, in fact it is forbidden to beat your wife. The prophet commanded fellow human beings to be kind to your wife for they are your helpers and committed partners. People who beat their wife usually come from cultures where it is allowed. Under Islamic law these people would be persecuted. But because of the backwardness of the cultures they keep getting away with this kind of intolerable behaviour. Know that Allah and his messenger, mohammed,  would never tolerate such behaviour.

The radical/militant Muslim is utterly convenced that he is acting on the will and authority of Allah.  Therefore, all who oppose him are opposed to the will of Allah.  There are severe penalties in the Islamic world for opposition to the will of Allah and the radical/militant is happy to apply them.  Does not lend itself to the free exchange of viewpoints.

Allah's love is more than 40 times than our mother's love toward us. That is the reason people don't get punished immediately as he gives them chance to change with understanding. \n\n\nNow understand ALLAH as follows\n\n\n\nTHE RELIGION OF ISLAM\nThe first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means.\n\nThe religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim", The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form.\n\nIslam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion Islam was not decided upon by later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur'an, Allah states the following:\n"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:3)\n\n"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Surah Aal'imraan 3:85)\n\n"Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim."\n(Surah Aal'imraan 3:67)\n\nNowhere in the Bible will you find Allah saying to Prophet Moses' people or their descendants that their religion is Judaism, nor to the followers of Christ that their religion is Christianity. In fact, Christ was not even his name, nor was it Jesus! The name "Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos which means the anointed. That is, Christ is a Greek translation of the Hebrew title "Messiah". The name "Jesus" on the other hand, is a latinized version of the Hebrew name Esau.\n\nFor simplicity's sake, I will however continue to refer to Prophet Esau (PBUH) as Jesus. As for his religion, it was what he called his followers to. Like the prophets before him, he called the people to surrender their will to the will of Allah; (which is Islam) and he warned them to stay away from the false gods of human imagination.\n\nAccording to the New Testament, he taught his followers to pray as follows: "Yours will be done on earth as it is in Heaven".\nTHE MESSAGE OF ISLAM\n\nSince the total submission of one's will to Allah represents the essence of worship, the basic message of Allah's divine religion, Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah. Since everything other than Allah, the Creator of all things, is Allah's creation; it may be said that Islam, in essence calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its Creator. He is the only one deserving man's worship as it is only by His will that prayers are answered. If man prays to a tree and his prayers are answered, it was not the tree which answered his prayers but Allah who allowed the circumstances prayed for to take place. One mi

Many answering your question have said that they feel sorry for us muslim women. So, first, I want to address those people and their hateful remarks ("oh, i feel so SORRY for those women!")\n\nStop worrying - you've been lied to or misinformed. Our rights granted to us in Islam are far superior to your rights as women. \n\nWe are respected and protected. You are exploited and used. \n\nWhile your religion tells you to cover your head out of submission to your husband, ours tells us to do it only out of submission to God/Allah and as a means of protection and modesty. \n\nWhile your religion tells you plainly that you must "stay silent in the church", our religion tell us no such thing. Many great women have narrated many traditions, relaying very important aspects of the religion on to generations to come. \n\nWhile your men are stripping you with their eyes, even in your house of worship, we are granted privacy and kept away from the annoying glances of men that we already aren't the least bit interested in. (if I already have a husband, why do I need attention from yours? and I'm not left to the wolves to get a husband in the first place)\n\nWhile your men tell you to undress to get "respect" (LOL), our men preserve our honor and treat us like a precious pearl. \n\nWhile your men pressure you for sex, ours marry us. \n\nWhile your men finally marry you after trying you out first... and often have dirty affairs in which they lie and deceive...... our men may take a second wife and treat both wives with dignity, divide their time equally, give them each their own house, and create stable environments for everyone involved... Or, our men realize that it's such a big responsibility to have a second wife, that they choose not to approach other women at all.\n\nThe only time our men mess up is when they TRY TO IMITATE YOU.\n\nI'm sorry, but you need to realize how ignorant, smug, and insulting these "oh poor them" comments are.\n\n--------- Now, back to the original question:\n\nPeople often confuse the PEOPLE with the RELIGION (way of life). \n\nThe religion is pure and beautiful. There are good and bad Muslims, obedient and disobedient, to varying degrees. \n\nSo, always be tolerant of the RELIGION. But tolerance with any MUSLIM is taken on an individual basis.

Because Muslims do not have a love relationship with God the way Christians do. He is not their loving father, but instead he is a judge. Don't lynch me just yet... my best friend was Muslim when I lived in AL and we'd talk about this a lot.  I went to her temple, read any book she wanted, I ever read the whole Qu'ran, but I am a Christian because I need someone to love and I need someone who will love me back.\n\nIn her temple, I heard a "sermon" (I know i'm using Christian terminology here- my apologies) and the guy told this story: One very pious woman who prayed daily and faithfully did everything she was supposed to, let her cat outside on a leash.  She did not feed the cat or give it water and it died.  This woman was damned to hell.  Another woman who was living loosely saw a thirsty dog and had compassion on it and gave it a drink- and she went to heaven.  His point was that Muslims never know which actions will damn them to hell, so they must be good all the time.  It is fear based. You could do the right things your whole life, then mess up once and God can damn you and not even let you know!  \n\nLook at their heaven.  A christian sees heaven as a final oppertunity to recieve the fullness of God, we get to spend all the time we want with Him, fellowshipping with Him at banquets, worshipping Him.  Muslims think that heaven is full of virgins waiting for them, among other things- why get excited about this?  Think about it.  Why would you need something other than the presence of God to get you excited about heaven?  It's interesting to think about at any rate.\n\nBasically if you do more good than bad- you're OK.  The problem arises when some actions hold more weight than others.  Sadly their God has not clearly written out which actions these are and how much they cost- like "if I feed the homeless this week will it make up for the fact that I kicked the dog on Tuesday?"  They don't know!  No one knows how much each sin and each merit costs.  Their salvation is not secure- it's a constant state of proving your worth to a Being who finds you unworthy anyway.\n\nThe difference is, Christians do it backwards.  Instead of working to get to God so we can try and be near Him like they do; we are given God freely (the Holy Spirit) when we accept Christ's sacrifice.  So we're given God at the get-go, and then we get to spend time with Him because we love Him, not because we're trying to prove something or get into heaven.  Our salvation is secure when we accept that we'll never be good enough to get to heaven, so a sacrifice is needed.

Its A Distortion To Say That Wife Beating Is Allowed In Islam.\n\nHanafi is a sec of Islam, and there are difference in opinions about this. Do you even know what they meant by discipline?\n\nWhen you are upset about the following, you...\n\n1. not talk to her\n2. sleep facing outward instead of facing your wife\n3. sleep outside of the room\n4. a gentle tap on her with 'sugi' stick (something like a toothbrush.\n\nThis was taught by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)\n\nand it doesn't say...\n5. beat the living daylights outta her\n\nNo one beats a wife in Islam or Christianity or any other religion. But do you blame religion when a Christian hits his wife? Cause there are men in the States that do.

I'm a married Muslim and I love my life.  My husband treats me like a princess.  In Islam women have lots of rights over there husbands. For example finanically:  Want ever is his...is ours and whats mine is mine.  He doesn't more of out me then I expect out of him.  We have mutual respect for each other.  He wants me to cook once in awhile...raise our son with morals.

That answer is definetely wrong.. beating wives is certainly not only in arab and Muslim countries.. i'm sure it happens ALL over the world.. the blame is sure not on the religion (regardless what it was) it is on the husband and his mentality.. \nIslam is a great religion only for those who understand it and understand what is written in the Qura'an.. \nIslam and the way Islam tells us to treat other people is amazing.. full of love and respect... The whole world has a wrong concept and perception of islam.. and lately so many people are realizing that they have a wrong vision on Islam and they started to read the Qura'an and ask about it more deeply that's why the numbers of muslims are increasing... Anyhow, that was Rev. Kip's personal opinion.. and now this is mine.. and anyone who thinks that Muslim women don;t have equal rights as men are dead wrong.. \nAll muslim women have rights.. they also have the CHOICE to stay at home or work or study or do whatever they want just as long as it is acceptable in the Islam religion.. like they're are not allowed to be working bas jobs and soo.. \nand also Muslim women go out and do everything they want (as i said previously, as long as its something acceptable and respected for the Islam religion) and also Muslim women are not being hidden or anything.. I don't blame any of u who said those  wrong things about Islam because u didn't come into the Arab and Muslim world and see how Muslim men treat Muslim women.. beleive me u'll envy them.. \nplus Africa is definetely not a country to measure the whole muslims by.. What Muslim African men do their wives doesn't mean that all Muslim Men do that.. b/c Islam forbids that.. and also a men can go to jail if he abuses his wife in the Arab World..

Hmmm. Since I have Muslim men friends and I know the culture a bit, I know that Muslim men want non-Muslim women only for sex and fun and companionship. Most, if not all, never intend to take the relationship anywhere past that. And any self respecting female, Muslim or non-Muslim, would not fall for you line of hooey. Oooh yeah, did I forget to mention how Muslim disrespect their women? I'm sure that's a big turn on too!

SORRY...HELL FOR MUSLIMAHS...MUHAMMAD SAID --\n\nThen he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that THE MAJORITY OF THE DWELLERS OF HELL-FIRE WERE YOU (WOMEN)."

This could be true because Muslim men are so weak it takes more than one to satisfy a woman. This weakness comes from allways being on their knees
