Answers for: "Ms. Conceptions"

A lady is asking serious questions about Islam.

Let's clear up the misconceptions and misrepresentations about the status of women in Islam and what "some people" claim is Islam - but is really culture . . .

She says,
"Women aren’t equal - Women can’t drive - Muslims come from the Mideast - The Holy War? (Jihad) - FUNDAMENTALISM?"

We advise all Muslims - Get the real facts, please - BEFORE you try to answer others!

"Does the Quran Tell Men to Beat Their Wives?"
Special Update: NO - IT DOESN'T
- The Quran orders men to "Protect and Defend - ALL WOMEN" the word often mistranslated as "beat lightly" is better understood as the English term "percuss" (an action doctors use while examining patients upper torso - light tapping while listening to their backs or chests).
(ref: explanation of surah An-Nisa, verse 34)

We receive many questions concerning the treatment of women in Islam in general and what Muslim men do with their wives in particular.

This article written by former Christian convert to Islam, Chaplain (Imam) Yusuf Estes helps to bring light on this most important subject.
