This man is a criminal and a violator of Islamic law. He does not represent Islam. Donât judge a faith of 2 billion people by a sick individualâs actions. Islam honors and protects women, not oppresses them.
The Prophet Muhammad ï·ș said:
âThe best of you are those who are best to their wives.â
â Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 3895.
Allah says in the Qurâan:
âAnd live with them in kindness.â
(Qurâan 4:19)
Another verse commands:
âThey (wives) are clothing for you and you are clothing for them.â
(Qurâan 2:187)
This beautiful metaphor shows love, comfort, and protection.
Islam strictly forbids violence against women. The Prophet ï·ș never hit a woman or a servant in his entire life (Sahih Muslim).
Any man who abuses, isolates, or enslaves his wife is acting against Islam, not according to it. Such a man represents his own sick mentality, not the teachings of the Qurâan or Sunnah.
Furthermore, Islam gave women rights 1,400 years ago that Western women only recently gained:
âąThe right to own property and manage their wealth.
âąThe right to education.
âąThe right to accept or reject a marriage proposal.
âąThe right to inheritance.
