Is Verse of Surah an-Nisa 34 Orders to Beat Women?
Prof. Dr. Mehmet Okuyan
In order to understand what the Qur'an says in parts about any subject, it is necessary to know the holistic view of the Qur'an. So if you are going to define a tree, you must first recognize the forest. Without recognizing the forest, no trees are identified.
There are the following elements about beating women;
Human
Gender
Violence
Here are the things to look at;
How does Allah SWT address human beings? For example when He says O sons of Adam Does he distinguish between men and women? He does not.
There are verses that set very special provisions on women. There are a number of provisions in these verses, which are exclusively for women by gender. Apart from these, the Qur'an does not discriminate between men and women in the holistic view of the Qur'an, which generally mentions people who need to win heaven.
The Holy Quran, for example, in the verse of Surah Ahzab 33/35. İnne-lmuslimîne velmuslimâti velmu/minîne velmu/minâti velkânitîne velkânitâti ve-ssâdikîne ve-ssâdikâti ve-ssâbirîne ve-ssâbirâti velḣâşiʼîne velḣâşiʼâti velmutesaddikîne velmutesaddikâti ve-ssâ-imîne ve-ssâ-imâti velhâfizîne furûcehum velhâfizâti ve-żżâkirîna(A)llâhe keśîran ve-żżâkirâti eʼadda(A)llâhu lehum maġfiraten veecran ʼazîmâ - Indeed, the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing men and believing women, the obedient men and obedient women, the truthful men and truthful women, the patient men and patient women, the humble men and humble women, the charitable men and charitable women, the fasting men and fasting women, the men who guard their private parts and the women who do so, and the men who remember Allah often and the women who do so - for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward speaks of ten qualifications. These ten qualities are counted in both the male pattern and the female pattern. He means that these sacrifices are the sacrifices that both men and women have to do. After all, He says that this is all that people He will forgive and offer great prizes for. In other words, the Qur'an calls the woman over her personality, not her sex. Then he speaks of a woman's obedience to God, not her obedience to her husband. Because her husband must obey God, and his wife must obey God. Since our subservience will be towards Allah, our obedience will be towards Allah and our submission will be directed towards Allah; because an obedience to the Messenger of Allah was requested from us; those who say that women can be beaten act on the point that women must obey their husbands. The basic mistake comes from here. In obedience, the husband is not the interlocutor, but Allah SWT is the one husband and wife must obey.
In Verse of Surah an-Nisa 4/34; in the case of separation, that is, a separation process is beginning to take place, there are some measures to prevent this separation. If one is not the other, the other is not the other, all in one way to apply. Advise will be put into practice, beds will be separated or in the meantime, the wife's going to father's home, the separation of her husband's from home, there will be such temporary separations; if those does not work, it is required to nominate an arbitrator for the parties in verse 4/35. If the spouses work for success, Allah SWT says that He will make them successful. Nevertheless, this verse does not contain a command to beat the woman. In the verse the ordering word pounding vadribuhunne means insisting on the continuation of the marriage, if necessary to save the marriage of men and women to leave the house for a while. In the meaning area of the verb Darabe, there are short-term separations, meaning to go out and to take journeys.
A number of Arabs' approaches to women that lead us to understand as it was view of the Qur'an's view, unfortunately cause our female sisters to stand aloof from the Qur'an and Islam. As a result of this false information, our young brothers and sisters are kept at a distance from Islam. The Qur'an addresses the woman not because she is a woman, but through her personality, not by sex. It refers to the existence of a temporary separation between numbers of solution options for the continuation of the institution of marriage. There are two examples in this regard in the life of the Prophet. As the Prophet understands this religion best, he never raised a hand to any of his spouses, despite living similar problems at home. If the verse was to hit in the commandments, the Prophet had to apply it as a hit. He's never done anything like that. Beating woman is beating humanity. Putting the head on the same pillow as the beaten woman is nothing more than the terrible fate of not knowing what you're doing. Houses make sense if those are each other's paradise. There is no point in turning houses into madhouse. Especially doing this in the name of religion is one of the biggest damages to religion.
