COMMENT
(By Mufti Ahmad Sadeq Desai (Hafizullah))
The purpose of this rebuttal of the baseless view of the bogus ‘mufassir’ is not to encourage beating women, especially in this era when marriages are regarded as some sport to be broken and ruined on the basis of flimsy and haraam pretexts.
The need for refuting the bogus ‘mufassir’ is to assert the Truth by rejecting the falsehood which the crank propagates to appease modern women who are contaminated with lesbian tendencies.
While it is undeniable that it is not permissible to beat wives for gratifying one’s anger and the nafs, just as it is not permissible to beat children for such nafsaani reasons, the Qur’aanic fact is that it is permissible to beat them lightly when there is valid reason. Anyone who denies this Qur’aanic command loses his Imaan.
Allah Ta’ala states in the Qur’aan Majeed:
“Men are the rulers over women……….Regarding those women whose disobedience you fear, advise them (give them naseehat), separate them from (your) beds, and beat them. Then if they obey you, do not then commit excess on them. Verily, Allah is Most High, The Greatest.” (An-Nisaa’, Aayat 34)
The ‘beating’ permitted by the Qur’aan is explained in the Hadith as light beating and as a last resort. No one encourages beating wives. But to deny the validity of this Qur’aanic command is KUFR –kufr which expels one from the fold of Islam.

Rasulullah ﷺ said:
"Do not hit the maidservants of Allah."
So the women became emboldened, and their behaviour towards their husbands became bad. So Umar said:
"O Rasulullah, the women have become emboldened, and their behaviour towards their husbands have become bad ever since you forbade their hitting."
So Rasulullah ﷺ said:
"Hit them."
The men (i.e. the Sahabah) hit their wives that night and many women came (to Rasulullah ﷺ) complaining of the hitting. When it was morning, Rasulullah ﷺ said:
"Seventy (i.e. many) women have come to the family of Muhammad this night, complaining of the beating. By Allah, you will not find them to be the best of you."
Authentic Hadith recorded in Musannaf Abdur Razzaq, Sunan Abu Dawud, Saheeh Ibn Hibbaan, etc.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَضْرِبُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهُ» قَالَ: فَذَئِرَ النِّسَاءُ، وَسَاءَتْ أَخْلَاقُهُنَّ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ذَئِرَ النِّسَاءُ، وَسَاءَتْ أَخْلَاقُهُنَّ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ مُنْذُ نَهَيْتَ عَنْ ضَرْبِهِنَّ قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ فَضَرَبَ النَّاسُ نِسَاءَهُمْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ» فَأَتَى نِسَاءٌ كَثِيرٌ يَشْتَكِينَ الضَّرْبَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أَصْبَحَ: «لَقَدْ طَافَ بِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اللَّيْلَةَ سَبْعُونَ امْرَأَةً، كُلُهُنَّ يَشْتَكِينَ الضَّرْبَ، وَايْمُ اللَّهُ لَا تَجِدُونَ أُولَئِكَ خِيَارَكُمْ

VID-20230508-WA0005_128kbps.mp3 (657.27 KB) Or google: 3 types of abuse towards women in families by Nouman Ali Khan In the attached audio, Nouman Ali Khan quotes the first few words of an authentic narration while committing blatant deception by omitting the rest of the narration. In summary, he omits the following crucially relevant parts of the particular narration he is citing: 1) After Rasulullah ﷺ initially forbade hitting, the women went out of control. They became emboldened and started behaving badly with their husbands 2) When Umar (radiyallahu anhu) complained of this to Rasulullah ﷺ, he gave permission to hit by saying "Hit them". 3) After the Sahaba (radhiyallahu anhum) then dealt with their wives' misbehaviour by hitting them, many of the women went to complain to Rasulullah ﷺ 4) Rasulullah ﷺ did not then reinstate the prohibition. He only encouraged them not to, by saying that those who hit are not the best. Furthermore, he omits to mention that the permission is upheld by numerous other authentic Hadith and, most importantly and undeniably, the verse of the Qur'an.

Hadhrat Aisha (radhiyallahu anha) narrates that a man recited this verse: "Whosoever does a sin, will be punished for it." and said, "We will be punished for all of our actions (i.e. misdeeds)? We will be destroyed (in that case)!" When this reached Rasulullah ﷺ, he said, "Yes, the believers will be punished for it (misdeeds) in the Dunya through his affliction in his body in that which pains him."
(Saheeh Hadith recorded in Musnad Ahmad and Musnad Abee Ya'laa)

Abu al-Muhallab narrates:
"I set out to (go to) Aisha (radhiyallahu anha) (to ask) regarding the verse: "It is not (according to) your desires, nor the desires of the people of the book (that determines entry to Jannah). Whosoever commits a sin, will be recompensed for it." (Surah al-Nisaa). She said: "It is what afflicts you in the Dunya."
(Recorded by Al-Haakim in his Mustadrak. Imam adh-Dhahabi concurred that it is Saheeh according to the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim)

To add to the long list of feminist scholars who use this fabricated narration as a primary basis to promote women's "liberation" in the western mould, Barelwi preacher, Asrar Rashid, stated in a recent talk:
"In fact, Sayyiduna Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) had a woman in charge of the marketplace..." x2
The fact that this blatant fabrication appears to feature time and again as amongst the most powerful proofs for a woman working outside the home during the era of Rasulullah ﷺ and the Sahaba (radhiyallahu anhum), that these feminist deformists are able to come up with, is proof enough for the perversion of their stance.

The following are a few statements pertaining to women's education taken from the works of Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullah alayh):
EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
The Harms of Secular Education Especially for Women
Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullah alayh) states:
"Modern education is not education at all but rather a system to make people ignorant. It is extremely detrimental to women in particular. In fact, it is even worse than ignorance because ignorance does not have the serious detriments that this form of education has. A child needs to be taught from childhood. It is unfortunate that people in the cities impart modern education to their children from childhood, as a result of which the effects and repercussions of this education permeate every tissue of the child. Thereafter, no other form of education is found to have an effect on the child.
The example of little girls is like a soft pliable branch which will dry up, harden and remain for life in whichever position it is stuck in the ground. When a child is indoctrinated with a new system of education, she is taught a new culture, a new mode of dressing and a new way of life. The child then becomes fixed in this lifestyle and cannot be reformed in the future...”
It is truly tragic that a great natural quality is being corroded. One will notice in the rural areas that when even a street sweeper or another menial worker is addressed by a man, she will turn her face away and reply by using signs e.g. if he asks for directions, she will merely point him in the right direction. If she is forced to reply verbally, she would be very brief and curt without using soft tones - like a person who is forced to talk. People in rural areas possess natural traits because there is nothing in their societies that would alter these.
Modesty is a natural trait in women. It is also an inherent quality within women to avoid the company of strange men and to avoid all such talk and deeds that may lead to mutual attraction or drawing close each other. This is in fact the teachings of the Shari'ah. A study of the Qur'aan will reveal that a woman should behave in such a manner with strange men that her behaviour breeds aversion instead of affinity and love. Instructing women, Allaah Ta'aala states: "Do not speak in soft tones."
The Shari'ah conforms perfectly to the human's natural disposition. However, it is tragic to note that people have drifted very far from natural human traits and regard evil as virtue. Modern secular education has needlessly led to people being captivated by useless subjects, ideologies and passions that have assumed the status of obsessions. May Allaah save us from this...
The best and easiest method is that a man acquires knowledge and then imparts the same to the women at home. If a man is not learned, he should make inquiries from the Ulema and then verbally pass these on to the women. Allaah has made Deen so easy and accessible that it can be acquired by mere speaking and listening._
The least that you can do is to fix a time when you should regularly read to the women books in Urdu (i.e. in one’s home language) which contain the various injunctions of Deen. However, the book should first be sanctioned by a reliable Aalim. If this is not possible, one should ask about the relevant injunctions from Ulema and verbally transmit these to the women at home....(The essence of the matter is that) Husbands should teach their wives because when even one woman becomes learned she can educate many others."
(At-Tableegh, Vol 7 pg 73, 79, 80...)
GIRLS MADRASAHS ARE UNNATURAL INSTITUTES
Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullah alayh) states:
"The ruling with regard to two factors has become apparent from the foregoing discussion. Both of these factors are spreading very rapidly at present. One of these is the establishment of public schools for girls. Just like the public madrasahs, girls of various nationalities, classes and mentalities interact with each other on a daily basis. Despite the fact that the teachers may be Muslim, and the girl is transported privately and remains in a place where she is secluded from men, have we not seen and experienced what a great effect took place on the character of girls who attend these institutions?
This interaction has often proved to melt away the innocence of a girl. If the teacher happens to be a person with radical views and licentious behaviour, the example will be like keeping sweet delicate fruit with Karela (a bitter vegetable that tends to rapidly spoil others).
The other disturbing factor is when Muslim girls are placed under the care and tutelage of a female missionary (or any other female teacher with incorrect morals), either on a daily or weekly basis, who uses the excuse of teaching some subject or skill to mix with the girls. Neither is a girl’s chastity nor her Imaan safe in this situation...
The education imparted these days through the schools and madaaris are fatally poisonous. I am not in favour of girls madrasahs even though they are under the supervision of Ulema.
Based on experience, I would say that this should never ever be adopted. If you do not take heed to my word, you will have great regrets afterwards.
Forsake the schools and madaaris and teach your girls at home. If you can impart Arabic education to them, SubhaanAllaah (it is a good thing). Otherwise, a basic Urdu education is sufficient. At the end of one of my discourses titled "Huqooqul Bayt", I have deliberated upon the subject in detail. It is worth studying the same.”
(Islaah Inqilaab)
RESPECTABLE MEN HAVE NEVER FAVOURED THESE UNNATURAL INSTITUTES
Emphasising the fact that this view was the overwhelming norm amongst men of reputable standing, Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullah alayh) states:
"Respectable men have never favoured female educational institutions. Muslim females have generally been literate throughout the ages, but they received their education at home. They never attended educational institutions. By receiving her education at home, no harm can come to a girl because the teacher is pious, the girl is conscious of remaining aloof from male company and she receives her education in a secluded environment.
Experience has proven that schooling is extremely detrimental. Why is this so? People tend to ask about what can cause harm when the girls are transported to school in private vehicles and the schools are particular about segregating the sexes? I cannot pinpoint the reason for this, but experience has proven that girls’s schooling is extremely detrimental. It leads to refractory behaviour, permissiveness and an aversion for veiling.
The greatest attribute of a woman is modesty, which is the key to all virtue. Without modesty no good can be expected from a woman and no evil is farfetched. The hadith is clear: "When you have lost modesty, do as you please."
(Huqooqul Bayt)
At another place, Maulana Thanwi (rahmatullah alayh) states:
"The question of female education is indeed most perplexing. We have noticed that evils always surface wherever girl’s madrassahs are established. Amorous glances are often exchanged and illicit talk is also common. Such incidents are becoming so widespread that even the elderly have become opposed to female education. However, this stance is wrong because this situation does not reflect a fault in female education, but in the administrators of the institutions concerned and the mode of instruction.
The underlying cause of the evils prevalent is the interaction with men. At the time of enrolment and examinations, mature girls come before the secretary and a panel of examiners. This causes hearts to flutter and gazed to stare, which is a grave matter. I would urge secretaries to avoid such situations."
(Islaahul Yataama)
THE BEST AND ONLY SAFE METHOD OF TEACHING FEMALES IS THAT OF THE PIOUS PREDECESSORS (SALAF)
Shaykh Thanwi (rahmatullah alayh) states:
"The safest way of teaching girls is the method that has been employed since times bygone. This method entails that two or four girls (i.e. a few) gather to learn at a convenient venue. As far as possible, a female teacher who is prepared to teach without remuneration should be appointed to teach because her teaching will have more Barakah (blessings). However, there will be no harm done if a salary has to be paid. If such a female teacher is unavailable, a male of the household should teach them."
(Islaah Inqilaab)
Maulana Thanwi (rahmatullah alayh) states:
"With regard to the question of female education, if the man of the house is educated, he should teach the girls. Otherwise, if the lady of the house has the relevant knowledge, she should teach. If this is also not possible, the services of other pious women may be employed...
The easiest method of teaching women who are unable to read and write is to tell them a few relevant injunctions of Deen, principles of belief, pieces of advice and read to them some incidents of the pious from a book. Insha Allaah, it will not be long before they become educated without being literate...
You should read books of Deen to your family. If not for a longer period, you should read to them for at least fifteen or twenty minutes a day. However, when you are reading do not see who is listening and who is not, and who is practising and who is not. You do what you are supposed to do.
Start teaching them and continue reading every day even though everyone does not leave their places and come closer and they are all sitting scattered. Many people have reported that reformation has taken place by merely reciting from a book. Is the name of Allaah and His Nabi ﷺ less effective than a delicacy? If a delicacy affects the mouth by making it fill with water, will the names of Allaah and His Nabi ﷺ not produce an effect?"
(Huqooquz Zaujain)

HARDSHIPS AND DIFFICULTIES - THE MAIN CAUSE Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned: " My beloved friends! Going on discussing one’s difficulties and problems will not bring about any solution nor will it help you. In the face of hardships and difficulties, nothing benefits a person except istighfaar and earnestly turning to Allah Ta‘ala in du‘aa. Mention this advice of mine to your friends and associates and frequently remind them of it as well.
We should understand that all the difficulties and calamities that we experience are actually the result of our evil actions. In reality, the difficulties that we face on account of our sins and wrongs are much less than what we are deserving of.
My beloved friends! Each person should look into his own heart to introspect over his condition and see what sins he is involved in. The truth of the matter is that we are only continuing in our present condition due to the mercy of Allah Ta‘ala and the blessing of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), as we are definitely deserving of far greater punishments and difficulties.
When difficulties and calamities overcome us then falling into anxiety and depression will not help us. It is crying to Allah Ta‘ala in repentance that will help us."(Qutbul Aqtaab Hazrat Shaikhul Hadeeth Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) pg. 421-422)

HADITHS RELATED TO HEALTH AND MEDICINE THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF FEVERHadhrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) said: “ There is no illness that afflicts me which is more beloved to me than fever, because it enters into every limb of mine, and Allah, Azza Wa Jal, grants every limb its share of reward.”
(Adab al-Mufrad of Imam Bukhari)وَعَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ مَرَضٍ يُصِيبُنِي أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْحُمَّى، لِأَنَّهَا تَدْخُلُ فِي كُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنِّي، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُعْطِي كُلَّ عُضْوٍ قِسْطَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ ” صحيح Hadhrat Abu ad-Darda (radhiyallahu anhu) said: “ The fever of a night is expiation of a year (of sins)”
(Ibn Abī Dunyā)قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ ” حُمَّى لَيْلَةٍ كَفَّارَةُ سَنَةٍ Rasulullah ﷺ said: “ Verily, Allah ﷻ says (regarding fever): ‘It is My fire which I impose upon my believing servant in the Dunya (this world), so it becomes his share of the fire from the Aakhirah (afterlife).'”
(Al-Mustadrak of al-Haakim)وقال أبو هريرة وقد عاد مريضًا، فقال له: إن رسول اللَّه -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- قال: “إن اللَّه عز وجل يقول: هي ناري أسلطها على عبدي المؤمن في الدنيا، لتكون حظه من النار في الآخرة” صححه الحاكم واقره الذهبي Ibn al-Qayyim states in “at-Tibb an-Nabawi” that the leading medical experts (in the Islamic world) would celebrate the occurrence of fever, since it was a clear indication of the body combating the disease. They would say: “ In (regard to) many diseases, we rejoice at (the onset of) fever in them, just as the ill person rejoices at good health. Fever during it (i.e. disease) is much more beneficial than consuming medicine, for it processes (for eventual ejection) the humours and toxic matter which harm the body.” إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْأَمْرَاضِ نَسْتَبْشِرُ فِيهَا بِالْحُمَّى، كَمَا يَسْتَبْشِرُ الْمَرِيضُ بِالْعَافِيَةِ، فَتَكُونُ الْحُمَّى فِيهِ أَنْفَعَ مِنْ شُرْبِ الدَّوَاءِ بِكَثِيرٍ، فَإِنَّهَا تُنْضِجُ مِنَ الْأَخْلَاطِ وَالْمَوَادِّ الْفَاسِدَةِ مَا يَضُرُّ بِالْبَدَنِ To suppress fever or interfere with the body’s natural healing process with toxic chemicals, as is common nowadays, is extremely harmful and, no doubt, often leads to fatalities.

CALAMITIES AND SINS Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullahi alayh) said: "Calamities are the consequences of our sins. However, our sins are furthest from the mind when a misfortune befalls. Instead of Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness), people complain, become frustrated and even utter blasphemous statements. This is because they believe themselves to be sinless. Allah Ta’ala says: “ Whatever misfortune befalls you, is the consequence of what your hands have earned, although He pardons much of your sins (i.e. the calamities afflicting you represent only a fraction of your sins).” Once Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) ordered a thief’s hand to be cut off. The thief pleaded saying that this was his first offence. Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) rejected his plea saying that Allah Ta’ala never humiliates a person for the first offence. Investigation established that it was his fourth offence. Allah Ta’ala overlooks and forgives numerous of our sins. But when the point of no return is reached, then His chastisement overtakes us." (Malfoozaat)
