What Happened to My Wife Beating Thread?
-
i started a thread about someone trying to refute the no wife beating article of free-minds http//free-minds.org/women/beating.htm and it was deleted? '(
why oh why was it deleted? i would really appreciate if the brothers and sisters who are familiar with classical arabic can get to the bottom of what the verse says. i will post what the person who was trying to refute the artice said
"beating = leave ??? what a pathetic and DESPERATE attempt to justify this act, the Arabic word idribohunna Driven from the root word Darab Does not have any other meaning than Beat WHEN it comes to MEAN "Yadreb Ahadan" = Hit someone , Idriboohunna means beat them (for female plural), Adriboo Anhunna IS the one that means abandon or leave them...
it says Idriboohunna , not Adribu Anhunna ....the meaning is totally different...read a book on Arabic grammar,NOT Modern standard arabic but Classical Arabic ie the Language of the Quran.Classical Arabic still has to be translated into todays Arabic."please don't delete this thread, i would really like to hear what people have to say about this verse and refuting the claim of this person.
thank you -
Peace
The thread has been moved since it was in the incorrect category. If you're going to discuss some article on the site you should post in the section of Free-Minds.Org / ProgressiveMuslims.Org. Please read the categories before starting a topic in any of them to be sure you're topic is in the right place.

Read the following verse please, and tell us what the word "yadhrib" means
"God does not shy away from citing the example of a mosquito, or anything above it. As for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. As for the rejecters, they Say "What does God want with this example?" He lets many stray by it, and He guides many, but He only lets stray the evildoers"
Is God "hitting" or "striking" the example of a mosquito??

I have written an article on verse 434 of the Qur'an, a verse which has commonly been misinterpreted to justify violence against women. I have created a website to publish this article www.quranverse434.com
