Egyptian Cleric: Islam Teaches A Man To Beat His Wife So That She’ll Treat Him With Kindness, Respect, And Know He Is Superior

Qur’an Sura 4:34, “Men have authority over women because [Allah] has made the one superior to the other… Good women are obedient… As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them…”

Thank goodness the beating shouldn’t be rushed or done out of anger. I guess that makes it all perfectly ok in order to subdue the inferior gender …

Egyptian Cleric Abd Al-Rahman Mansour: “Islam instructs a man to beat his wife as a last resort before divorce, so that she will mend her ways, treat him with kindness and respect, and know that her husband has a higher status than her. I say to every husband: Do not rush to beat her whenever a problem arises. Oh servant of Allah, Allah said: ‘Admonish those of them on whose part your fear disobedience, refuse to share their beds, and beat them.’ One should not beat out of anger. This you must know: If the wife utters the name of God, the beating must stop… When ‘Aisha thought ill of the Prophet Mohammed, believing that he did not treat her the same as his other wives, and that when he left her room, he would go to another wife, she followed him and spied on him. Aisha said that when the Prophet found out about this, ‘He gave me a shove that was painful.’ This was done in order to discipline her, not because the Prophet enjoyed beating or inflicting bodily harm. The Prophet did this in order to discipline the woman… A good woman, even if beaten by her husband, puts her hand in his and says: ‘I will not rest until you are pleased with me.’ This [is] how the Prophet Mohammed taught his women to be.”
