Beating Women Is Forbidden In Islam – Scholarly Examination

Beating Women Is Forbidden In Islam is a scholarly work edited by Ahmed Al‑Amir and Vivian Tsekoura, revised from the Arabic original by Dr. Abd ar‑Rahman bin Abd al‑KARIM Ash‑Shiha and published by the European Islamic Research Center in Athens, Greece. The book opens with an invocation praising Allah and the Prophet, then confronts contemporary claims that domestic violence is practiced among Muslim families. Through a series of rhetorical questions about observed abuse in Europe, America, Canada, and Australia, the authors demonstrate that such practices contradict Islamic teachings. The text cites the Qur’an (An‑Nisa 1) and prophetic statements that protect the rights of women and orphans, emphasizing that Islam honors women’s dignity and expressly forbids harming them. Structured with an introduction and thematic sections, the volume presents a clear theological argument that beating a wife is prohibited, aiming to clarify misconceptions about Islamic law regarding gender relations.
