      It would appear that you are as different from "main stream" Muslims as I am from "main stream" Christians. I'm glad I found you all.

          Most Christians believe in one God, they just get a little confused with this trinity thing (which, of course was not in the early Christian Church, was put there by the Church of Rome about 900 years ago)

            peace QS,

            It is 1st column on left, middle.

            All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

              Peace Brother
              First of all I thank you for the help. But this meaning of "Prevention or Prohibition" is not that of "" but of " " which has meaning of "He struck his hand" but figuratively it has two meanings
              1He struck a bargain
              2He prevented him

              If the Quranic verse would have been " then this translation would have been absolutely perfect.This is an idiomatic expression and The Quran is NOT USING IT IN THE DISPUTED VERSE MEANINGS.
              Regards

                "The book of the 3ain" by al Khaleel ibn Ahmad, the first classical dictionary, gives these meanings for the word "dharaba" (sorry, in Arabic). Inerestingly, none means "to strike"; some mean, indirectly to strike with a sword

                  Peace,

                  In marriage, a women must obey her husband in all marital issues in exchange to the gift and caretaking done by the husband. He has the upper hand.

                  Nushuz means total rebellion and disregard of the husband. Nushuz doesn't come immediately but in stages.

                  If you fear your wife is going to a state of nushuz, you must act, otherwise, she will disregard you completely ie. Nushuz.

                  To avoid nushuz, doing the three steps including beating, the final and corporeal punishment, is enough to avoid nushuz.

                  Peace,

                  Rami

                    peace QS,

                    I never said this is the meaning of DRB in 434.

                    I am hesitant of coupling meanings to prepositions in the sense that it cannot mean anything else but XYZ with this preposition, but we can add notes to various meanings in PRL, as it is a work in progress. I have made a note of it.

                    Perhaps you can help out with something. Are there any examples of beat or strike by a human against another human in which no additional clarifying words or prepositions are used in any Classical Arabic dictionary? What I have personally noticed on this topic is the shocking lack of information there is from Classical Arabic dictionaries in the articles for those who advocate "beat" or even "strike".

                    All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                      Those who think and practically beat blatently disobey the Command of Allah and stand included in those who believe in some part of the Book and disbelieve in some other part.

                      This is the ONLY place where these three words have been used together.

                          True you never said but you did not object TS to attach meanings of an idiom to the verb when I asked for reference.
                          You said

                          I am hesitant of coupling meanings to prepositions in the sense that it cannot mean anything else but XYZ with this preposition, but we can add notes to various meanings in PRL, as it is a work in progress. I have made a note of it.

                          That is your own opinion and you have all to right to own it. But any language treats verbs and their idiom differently."To break " and "to break out" cannot be treated similarly in English as far as meanings are concerned.

                            peace QS,

                            I was not even conversing with ts11 in this thread. If you thought it was wrong, you could have said why. In any case, Lane is only one Classical Arabic dictionary, for example, Dictionary of Holy Quran which utilises several Classical Arabic dictionaries states "prevent" but does not mention a prespotion or conditions on it. Since you have access to other Classical Arabic dictionaries, we can only assume you have either not checked them or have checked them and found "prevent/restrain" etc can only be with such conditions etc. God knows best.

                            That is your own opinion and you have all to right to own it. But any language treats verbs and their idiom differently."To break " and "to break out" cannot be treated similarly in English as far as meanings are concerned.

                            It is not all opinion, for example 'drb fi al ard' can be treated the same as 'drb al ard' according to the above mentioned book, and I am sure there are other examples.

                            All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                              One should not assume without any evidence. The Holy Quran forbids such assumptions.

                              It would have been much better ,if you had asked me whether I consulted other Classical dictioanaries for this meaning or not.
                              My answer is yes I tried my level best but I could not find that the verb "dharaba" means "restraints or Prevention".
                              I will be extremely happy if someone could help us in this matter.

                                  Of course you will have to marry a weak woman or one who does not have strong males/females in her family or circle of friends; and you should be a physically strong man with no disability. Otherwise, tell me, who would beat up this one

                                        What are your views on men slapping their wives in Leviticus?

                                          Well, Leviticus went further than slapping, more like stoning. I don't accept violence towards anyone except in self-defence
