An e mail response to a woman about abuse in Islam

Living in England,talking about virtues of thrue islam doesnt impress me at all.I was a muslim and I havent converted to any other religion.I`m not advertising any belief or talking behalf of anybody(as muslims claim,like being paid by america,israel..BULLSHIT!).As a women Im simply saying I`ve had it.I dont want to suffer anymore by islam.Instead of preaching us about "what is islam or what is not".Go to the places where Islam rules and see what is islam has done there,what is suffering and preach those wrongdoers who doesnt know islam as much you do.I wish you good luck! And I like to send couple brunch of miswak to one of converted ladies who was preaching about women rights in islam.She can understand what is being beaten by miswak(she thinks man can beat wife with a tootbrush)


Answer:

peace be with you
Thank you for your e mail. I do agree with you on many points. I have travelled to Muslim lands, and I know what you mean. There are many people who have done lots of evil, and women have been marginalized, abused and destroyed. However I would like to say that Islam is not that. Islam does not abuse women. Stupid so called Muslim men abuse women. The prophet Muhammad said: THE BEST AMONGST YOU IS THE BEST TO HIS WIFE.
So those people who beat women are not the best.
People have distorted Islam, and just because a country is called a Muslim country does not mean that there are Muslim rulling it. Look at Libya, look at Saudi, look at Sudan, who rules those so called Muslim countries? Proper God fearing Muslims? No, but corrupt people.
If you study the history of Islam you will find that true Islam existed and insh Allah will come back. People are ignorant, people don't know Islam. In Pakistan (my wife is from there) the mullahs' without knowledge have taken over, very few people of knowledge left. THIS WAS A SIGN OF THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT PROPHESIZED. THE PROPHET SAID THAT TOWARDS THE END OF TIME, KNOWLEDGE WILL BE LIFTED FROM PEOPLE.
You see the treatment of Muslim women as the media shows you as a bad thing. I see it number one as a prophecy, and number two as a big media stunt. Talk to my wife, talk to other sisters not even from the west but from those bad countries in the east, and see if they are abused? I know many, how have God fearing husbands, who treat them like princesses.
As for the tooth brush issue, I dont' agree with that. An I will come very blunt here. I am not an apologetic. The example used by the prophet of the tooth brush was to show that a woman should not be abused or hit hard. So beating a woman with a toothbrush is just not possible. How can you? It's a joke. It was symbolic. However a GOD fearing man who controls his anger, who is sincere a good person, who finds his wife cheating, or gambling or drinking, or doing bad things, leaving her children wihthout provision, stripping in clubs, going with boy frinds out to the bar, drinking herself till she passes out, showing her body to everyone, and acting in porno movies, trying to puke everytime she eats because the stupid movies she is watching are telling her what is beauty and what is not, killing herself wiht drugs (this is what the west is doing to the female gender - while man love to sit back and enjoy the product) well a good God fearing husband should FIRST SEEK HELP, IN TERMS OF TALKING TO HER, ADVISING HER, BEING GENTLE, DOING GOOD TO HER, TRYING TO SOLVE IT OUT. (THERE IS NOT TIME LIMIT FOR THIS) SECOND STEP HE SHOULD CUT SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH HER. HE SHOULD NOT SLEEP WITH HER. (how many husbands can do that. Andn I'm not talking about one day. How many can do that. Yet they jump and beat their wives. They jump from sept 0 to step 3 and leave their wives with a black eye, with a broken head, with broken limbs. Allah will punish them and trow them in hell if they dont' stop.) AND IF TALKING NICE AND TRYING TO FIND A PEACEFUL SOLUTION DOES NOT WORK, AND STAYING AWAY FROM HER SEXUALLY DOES NOT WORK, SHE STILL DOES DRUGS, SHE STILL IS EVEIL, SHE STILL STRIPS, SHE LETS THE KIDS ALMOST DIE, SHE SLEEPS WITH ANOTHER MAN, SHE KEEPS TROWHIGN OUT THE FAMILY MONEY AT THE PUB, IN THE CASION, AT STRIP CLUBS, THEN THE TRIRD STEP IS THAT HE WITH FEAR OF GOD, NOT OUT OF ANGER, BUT OUT OF GOD'S ORDER, HE CAN HIT HER AND MAKE HER REALIZE THAT SUCH CRAP IS NOT TOLERATED, AND HE PUTS FEAR IN HER, WITH HOPE THAT SHE WILL WAKE UP AT LEAST IF NOT OUT OF LOVE FOR HIM AND FEAR OF GOD, AT LEAST OUT OF FEAR OF HIM. A parent loves his child but sometimes he slaps his or her but when words dont' sink in, and we all know that that slap kept us out of trouble many times.
ONE HUGE POINT HERE IS THAT HE THE HUSBAND IS NOT ALLOWED TO HIT THE FACE. THE PROPHET SAID THAT HITTING ANYONE IN THE FACE IS A SIN.
So there you have it. I say things as they are, I don't apologize and I don't like when people sugar coat things. O HIT ME WITH A TOOTHBRUSH. IT WILL NOT HURT ME. THAT'S GARBAGE.
But having the correct knowledge of what Islam is and what it allows and what it's not, is the difference between heaven and hell.
I pray that you look into the truth of Islam and not the stupid actions of some people who are astray maximized by stupid media, and hypocrites who call themselves Muslims.
I am a Muslim and I'm proud of it and I hope to die defending the truth of it, even against those who have messed YOU my sister up.
I pray for you and for the healing of your heart. I pray that Al Waddud (The Most Loving - one of Allahs names) will shower you with His love and mercy and heal your scars. I feel like crying when I get e mails like this, and I tell you I do get them quite often.
You take care
I hope to hear from you
peace

Aslam mualaykum! brother you are a great thinker (may allah increase your knowledge and wisdom). Our prophet Muhammad (pbuh) thought us to never mark other worshiping muslims as Hypocrites (only Allah knows their situation, and what their intentions are)!
Second Islam is not about taking up arms to fight against evil dowers (Allah protects his message). Life is a test! god tests individuals by how they respond to situations. When Our prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was almost stoned to death by some people, what did he do? he prayed for them and erased his anger towards them. Islam is peace, and if people are so arrogant that they belive their the only right people on earth we have to pray for them, and lecture them about the truth.
Don't forget people back in the old days use to belive that the earth was flat, and enlightend people had a difficulty time convincing them about the truth of how the earth is! Know every one knows that the earth is not flat. God guides whom he likes. As Muslims our only duty is worshiping good and following the sunnah of Muhammad (pbuh). Every extar good we do is extra reward in the here after.
Peace be with u all.

Salamo Aleikum
Jizak Allah khair for your response my brother
May Allah increase us in patience.
I agree with you that we should not call anyone a hypocrite, and that is directly to them. However there were hypocrites at the time of the prophet, and he knew it and gave the list to one of the sahabas Hudaifah so that no one will pray over them. And the prophet was not allowed to pray over them. I would never point to someone and say he or she is a hypocrite, but in general we have to say what is happening in the world. There are people who are hypocrites, there are others who are non Muslims.
But I agree with you that we cannot specify and point at someone and say you are a hypocrite.
I pray to Allah that he makes all people Muslims, however He swt knows best and he does not.
The prophet prayed for the people of Tayf but he also fought the people of Mekkah and killed the jews hypocrites and betrayers of Banu Quraidha.
There is a time for prayer, and peace, and that is the default. We should always try to be like that. However when all the things are exhausted we need to stand strong. If not they will eat us.
Islam is not about taking up arms and fighting. Allah will protect his deen, that is for sure, but He will protect his deen through the believers. Some faught, the prophet himself killed a man in battle of Uhud. Muslims have fought against the Quraish in many battles. Even the UN peace corps say in one of their treaties that if anyone goes against their peace they will fight them.
We need to be peaceful and love one another, we need to spread the deen peacefully and love people, care for them, as all the prophets did, even though the people were the worse, such as the people of Lut. But prophet Lut loved his people even though they were gay. He arugued with the angles when they came to destroy them.
May Allah bless you and thank you for you post.
Please pray for me that Allah gives me more patience. It's hard when I see people taking our deen for a ride.
Salamo Aleikum

Sometimes this all just seems so hopeless, this world is so full of hate and fear. Whats sad is the more you practice the true Islam the more isolated you become here in North America. Where is the love? Where are my sisters and brothers? we should be holding each others hands through this horrible crisis of anti Islam. We have the numbers on our side, we are so many but it means nothing because we have no unity.
