Muhammad, A Woman Beater

Muhammad and Ali beat a slave severely

1. MUHAMMAD BEAT HIS FAVORITE WIFE AISHA

[Sahih Muslim Book 4, Number 2127]  Aisha narrates, “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain.” 

2. AISHA COMMENTED THE ABUSE SUFFERED BY MUSLIM WOMEN

[Sahih Bukhari 72:715] “Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women’” 

3. MUHAMMAD COMMANDED MUSLIMS TO STRIKE THEIR ARROGANT WIVES

[Quran  4:34] Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

[Quran 38:44] “And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath…”  Allah telling Job to beat his wife (Tafsir). 

COMMENT: Muhammad is lying. In the Bible God never told Job to beat his wife, contrarily, God instructed husbands to love their wives [Ephesians 5:25-28]. 

4. MUHAMMAD COMMANDED HIS FOLLOWER TO BEAT HIS FORNICATING FEMALE SLAVE

[Sunan Abi Dawud 4473Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib:  A slave-girl belonging to the house of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) committed fornication. He (the Prophet) said: Rush up, Ali, and inflict the prescribed punishment on her. I then hurried up, and saw that blood was flowing from her, and did not stop. So I came to him and he said: Have you finished inflicting (punishment on her)? I said: I went to her while her blood was flowing. He said: Leave her alone till her bleeding stops; then inflict the prescribed punishment on her. And inflict the prescribed punishment on those whom your right hands possess (i.e. slaves). 

COMMENT: Women are so oppressed in Islam, if they committed fornication, they should be punished severely and even to death by stoning, crucifixion, etc. On the other hand, if Muslim men committed fornication, they are free from blame. This judgment is brutal and unfair, and take note, this is mandated by Allah, the supposed most merciful and off-forgiving god. Islam is so vague in their teachings, what their right hand is telling is not what their left hand is doing. In contrast, Jesus though sinless, He did not condemn a prostitute [John 8:6-10]. God does not allow us to judge our sinful fellow because we are all sinners. All of us will undergo judgement, only God has the power to judge. Not one of us can redeem ourselves from sinful world, we cannot be saved by our own righteousness contrary to Islamic teaching. No human is perfect or sinless, hence no one can meet God’s standard. Salvation could be provided by God alone. That’s why we need to accept the redemption provided by Jesus Christ (the only sinless man on Earth) in order to be saved. 

5. A MUSLIM HUSBAND IS NOT OBLIGATED TO TELL THE REASON WHY HE BEAT HIS WIFE

[Sunan Abi Dawud 2147] Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab] The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife. 

COMMENT: Allah not only allows Muslim husbands to beat their wives, but also the wives have no right to complain. This is an absolute abuse of woman, where is the righteousness and mercy of Allah in this regard?

6. MUHAMMAD LAUGHED AND ALLOWED HIS WIVES TO BE BEATEN BY HIS COMPANIONS

[Muslim Book 9, No 3506] Then came ‘Umar and he sought permission and it was granted to him, and he found Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) sitting sad and silent with his wives around him. He (Hadrat ‘Umar) said: I would say something which would make the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) laugh, so he said: Messenger of Allah, I wish you had seen (the treatment meted out to) the daughter of Khadija when you asked me some money, and I got up and slapped her on her neck. Allah’s Messenger (mav peace be upon him) laughed and said: They are around me as you see, asking for extra money. Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) then got up went to ‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) and slapped her on the neck, and ‘Umar stood up before Hafsa and slapped her saying: You ask Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) which he does not possess. They said: By Allah, we do not ask Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) for anything he does not possess. Then he withdrew from them for a month or for twenty-nine days. Then this verse was revealed to him:” Prophet: Say to thy wives. . . . for a mighty reward” (33. 28). . .
