These are just some ways that men oppress their wives.Shame upon those men who oppress their wives! Are you one of them?
Well, change your ways, apologize and repent before the Almighty overtakes you with His Wrath.

Remember the Messenger pbuh says, "The best of you are those best to their wives."

Might i add two?
>Enforcing your opinion upon her regardless of her feelings is oppression evn though u r d head.
>Threatening to get a second wife is oppression evn though polygamy is halal.
>Disregarding her advice like a little girl 's is oppression. Its same as saying "u cant teach me a meaning thing, woman, i know best"
There is more to this than meet the eye. Ask some wives of some Ustaz,Mallams,Imams and u 'll b shocked that Charity may not begin from home afterall. Unfortunately a lot of preachers would rather preach on other issues like
>Polygamy and its importance
>Respect/Submission for husband
>Hijab, Jilbaab, Niqaab etc.
Instead of topics regarding respect for wives in a large part because there is this sub par belief that a respectful and overtly submissive wife will get fair play.

Your point?

What about wife beating? Does Islam permit a man to beat his wife? Is that a form of wife oppression?

No to the first question and yes to the second question.

pmc01: No to the first question and yes to the second question.

Please elaborate with backup from the Quran/Hadith

Thanks

"And among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may live in TRANQUILITY with them, and He has brought between you love and MERCY. Truly, in this are signs for those who reflect." (Qur'an 30:21).

The Prophet (PBUH) said: "Treat women well and be KIND to them, they are your partners an committed helpers."

He (PBUH) also said: "Never hit your wives, they are your partners and sincere helpers."

Allâhu a'alam.

alexis: What about wife beating? Does Islam permit a man to beat his wife? Is that a form of wife oppression?

To be honest,'BEATING' here is a relative term. To some, beating is equal to flogging, to others its a slap. But there are those who nvr resort to beating and would rather Divorce or Separate in the worst case scenerio.
Remember that a misbehaving wife has to first be admonished. If she doesnt amend then hubby could refuse her food,if she persist, he should stay out of bed from her. And eventually beating is only legal if the above measures have been employed in correcting her. But for the sake of truth and justice, beating here ought to be mild, not use of severe high impact force capable of yielding a stinging or burning sensation.
These just show how considerate Islam is. It is a simple religion but on an individual level, adherents can make it difficult for themselves if care isnt taken. Some muslims even batter their wives, pathetic isn't it?
Take Polygamy as a case, it is permitted for some of its merits but many muslim chose Monogamy. I mean how many men would chose d burden of multiple wives and how many wives relish the idea of a future co-wife. So also, is the issue of beating, Jack.

alexis: What about wife beating? Does Islam permit a man to beat his wife? Is that a form of wife oppression?

This ought to be the no.1 point cos a lot of women are being battered daily by their so called husband. Some are dying in silent and may not speak out for fear of being booted out by their husbands. This should stop .

'Quest for love and Mercy', 'Closer than the Garment', 'The Fragile Vessel'.--- These are names of 3 Books written by Sheihk Muhammad Al-Jibaly and who derived the titles of the books from Verses of the Qur'an.

In essence, Women are to be seen as 'Love to be protected', 'A garment that also honours and protects you' and ' A fragile vessel that is tender and delicate to mal-handle'.

Are you a man, muslim or otherwise, who beats,slaps or disregard your wife? Ask yourself-" Who do I take after?".

May Allaah reward the OP.

Marrying more than one wife is an oppression to the first

The most important thing is to teach us what the Quran and Hadith says on how muslim men should treat women. We don't have to put personal interpretations in it or read books to understand it. I will appreciate it verses from the Quran or Hadiths can be quoted so we can get factual evidence.

If you have 4 wives and what do you explain when you come home late.

EPOMA:

If you have 4 wives and what do you explain when you come home late.

Why oppress your 4 wives on earth if you are expecting 72 virgins in heaven?

1.Beating your wife is oppression.
2.Marrying other wives after her is oppression.

Hmmm

TheMadame: 1.Beating your wife is oppression.
2.Marrying other wives after her is oppression.

What are you saying,madam? But the wife is not complaining afterall she is married after someone too.

By the way , just try and stick to a child in your lifetime cos it will be an oppression to have multiple children.... Just an advice.....madame

TheMadame: 1.Beating your wife is oppression.
2.Marrying other wives after her is oppression.

Quran allow biting of wives. It also welcome polygamy if u like it. Dam if I ws a Muslim I will marry many and beat

what of those women that are not allow to drive cars in saudi arabia,is that a form of feminine oppression?.just asking dont dare delete the post o,its a question ooooo.

devour129: Marrying more than one wife is an oppression do the first

You are on point!

So muhammad was a wife beater?

Husband love your wife as christ love the church and gave his life for it
- THE HOLY BIBLE

am talkin:
So muhammad was a wife beater?

The person you quoted went to quote from an AntiIslamic website disguising as a Muslim one. It seems some people can't wait for Muslims to answer questions about Islam and have to go to antiIslamic website.

Big shame.

The website quoted by Jammyng is a fraud. Not an Islamic website.
