Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Robert Spencer’s Blogging the Qur’an, Sura 4: ‘Women’

Apr 29, 2015 9:36 pm By Robert Spencer

honor killingContinuing the revised Blogging the Qur’an series over at PJM:

Beating your wife? Fine. Saying Jesus was crucified? Not so good.

Welcome to Sura 4, “Women,” another important Medinan sura containing laws for the conduct of women and Islamic family life, and a great deal more.

Allah starts by saying that he created men and women from a “single soul” (v. 1). Many Muslims in the West have pointed to this verse as evidence that Islam recognizes the full human dignity of women. Ayatollah Murtada Mutahhari says that “other religions also have referred to this question, but it is the Qur’an alone which in a number of verses expressly says that woman has been created of the species of man, and both man and woman have the same innate character.”

He then quotes 4:1. The “single soul” from which mankind was created was Adam’s, and while the Biblical story of Eve’s creation from Adam’s rib is not repeated here, Muhammad refers to it in a hadith that suggests that while men and women may have the same “innate character,” that doesn’t mean they are equal in dignity, for women are crooked.

The prophet of Islam is depicted as saying:

Woman has been created from a rib and will in no way be straightened for you; so if you wish to benefit by her, benefit by her while crookedness remains in her. And if you attempt to straighten her, you will break her, and breaking her is divorcing her. (Bukhari 8.3467)

Then comes the basis for Islamic polygamy (v. 3), allowing a man to take as many as four wives, as long as he believes he is able to “deal justly” with all of them.

According to the Mishkat Al-Masabih, Muhammad said:

The person who has two wives, but is not just between them, shall appear on the Day of Judgment in such a condition that one half of his body will be collapsing.

But of course, justice in these circumstances is in the eye of the beholder. Ibn Kathir says this the requirement to deal justly with one’s wives is no big deal, since treating them justly isn’t the same as treating them equally:

It is not obligatory to treat them equally, rather it is recommended. So if one does so, that is good, and if not, there is no harm on him.

And as for polygamy, why don’t women get to have four husbands? Muhammad Asad notes:

One might ask why the same latitude has not been given to women as well; but the answer is simple. Notwithstanding the spiritual factor of love which influences the relations between man and woman, the determinant biological reason for the sexual urge is, in both sexes, procreation: and whereas a woman can, at one time, conceive a child from one man only and has to carry it for nine months before she can conceive another, a man can beget a child every time he cohabits with a woman. Thus, while nature would have been merely wasteful if it had produced a polygamous instinct in woman, man’s polygamous inclination is biologically justified.

Oh.

Allah goes on to say in v. 3 that if a man cannot deal justly with multiple wives, then he should marry only one, or resort to “the captives that your right hands possess” — that is, slave girls.

Oh.

Slave girls, just like in the Islamic State, which everyone from John Kerry to Joe Biden to David Cameron — learned imams all — denounces today as “un-Islamic.”

Bulandshahri explains the wisdom of this practice, and longs for the good old days:

During Jihad (religion war), many men and women become war captives. The Amirul Mu”minin [leader of the believers, or caliph — an office now vacant] has the choice of distributing them amongst the Mujahidin [warriors of jihad], in which event they will become the property of these Mujahidin. This enslavement is the penalty for disbelief (kufr).

He goes on to explain that this is not ancient history:

None of the injunctions pertaining to slavery have been abrogated in the Shari”ah. The reason that the Muslims of today do not have slaves is because they do not engage in Jihad (religion war). Their wars are fought by the instruction of the disbelievers (kuffar) and are halted by the same felons. The Muslim [sic] have been shackled by such treaties of the disbelievers (kuffar) whereby they cannot enslave anyone in the event of a war. Muslims have been denied a great boon whereby every home could have had a slave. May Allah grant the Muslims the ability to escape the tentacles of the enemy, remain steadfast upon the Din (religion) and engage in Jihad (religion war) according to the injunctions of Shari”ah. Amen!

Allah also directs Muslims to “marry women who seem good to you.” Ibn Majah records a tradition in which Muhammad details the qualities of a good wife, including that “she obeys when instructed” and “the husband is pleased to look at her.”

In the following verse, Allah requires a husband to give his wife a dowry. Ibn Kathir explains that “no person after the Prophet is allowed to marry a woman except with the required dowry.” However, the wife may choose to free the husband from this obligation: “If the wife gives him part or all of that dowry with a good heart, her husband is allowed to take it.”

Allah then gives rules for inheritance and related matters (vv. 5-14). He directs that when an estate is being parceled out, daughters are to receive half the share that sons receive (v. 11). Why not? They’re “crooked,” after all.

Following that, he lays down penalties for sexual immorality. He prescribes home imprisonment until death (unless “Allah ordain for them some (other) way”) for women found guilty of “lewdness” on the testimony of four witnesses (v. 15). According to Islamic law, these four witnesses must be male Muslims; women’s testimony is inadmissible in cases of a sexual nature, even in rape cases in which she is the victim.

If a woman is found guilty of adultery, she is to be stoned to death; if she is found guilty of fornication, she gets 100 lashes (cf. Qur’an 24:2).

The penalty of stoning does not appear in the Qur’an, but Umar, one of Muhammad’s early companions and the second caliph, or successor of Muhammad as leader of the Muslims, said that it was nevertheless the will of Allah.

“I am afraid,” he said, “that after a long time has passed, people may say, ‘We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book,’ and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed.” Umar affirmed: “Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession.” And he added that Muhammad “carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him.”

Then Allah gives instructions for how to punish men who commit adultery or homosexual acts (v. 16).

The Tafsir Al-Jalalayn says that this verse refers to men who commit “a lewd act, adultery or homosexual intercourse.” They are to be punished “with insults and beatings with sandals; but if they repent, of this [lewd act], and make amends, through [good] action, then leave them be, and do not harm them.” However, it adds that this verse “is abrogated by the prescribed punishment if adultery is meant [by the lewd act],” that is, stoning. The Islamic jurist al-Shafi’i, it goes on, requires stoning of homosexuals also, but “according to him, the person who is the object of the [penetrative] act is not stoned, even if he be married; rather, he is flogged and banished.”

After that come various regulations for marriage and the treatment of women. Allah continues in vv. 17-18 the call to repentance he began in v. 16 by warning that he will only accept repentance from those who sinned out of ignorance, and will not look kindly upon deathbed changes of heart. Then he forbids the inheriting of women against their will (v. 19), and enjoins men not to treat them harshly in order to get them to forfeit part or all of their dowry — “unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness.” Aisha, Muhammad’s favorite wife, recounts according to Mishkat al-Masabih that Muhammad said: “The best of you is he who is best towards his wife, and I am the best towards my wives.”

Allah then continue with these exhortations toward just treatment (vv. 20-21), telling men that if they have decided to “exchange one wife for another,” they must not take back the dowry they have given to the wife who is to be discarded. He prohibits marriage with various women who are related by blood or marriage (vv. 22-25).

Allah refers to “foster mothers,” or more literally “mothers who suckled you,” as being among those with whom marriage is forbidden (v. 23). Men and women who are not related are forbidden by Islamic law to be alone together, but a man and a woman who are forbidden to marry each other — i.e., who are related in some way — can be alone together.

Once a woman came to Muhammad and told him that her husband, Abu Hadhaifa, was angry because a freed slave of his, a young man who had reached puberty, “enters our house freely.” Muhammad told her: “Suckle him and you would become unlawful for him, and (the rankling) which Abu Hudhaifa feels in his heart will disappear.” The woman later reported that it worked: “So I suckled him, and what (was there) in the heart of Abu Hudhaifa disappeared.”

This directive gained worldwide attention a few years ago when a cleric at Cairo’s Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, recommended that this could solve a problem in the workplace: a man could be alone with, and work with, a woman with whom he was not related, if the woman suckled the man and thereby became his foster mother. After the story got out and Al-Azhar was subjected to international ridicule, the lecturer who recommended this was suspended. Left unaddressed, however, was the root of his recommendation in the words of Muhammad himself.

Allah forbids Muslims to marry women who are already married, except slave girls (v. 24): according to Islamic law, once a woman is captured and enslaved, her marriage is immediately annulled (cf. ‘Umdat al-Salik o9.13). At one point, according to a hadith reported by Sahih Muslim, “the Companions of Allah’s Messenger seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands being polytheists” (3432). So the Companions “asked the Prophet about this matter, and this Ayah [verse] was revealed … Consequently, we had sexual relations with these women.”

Ibn Kathir says that this verse also prohibits temporary marriage — marriage with a predetermined expiration date, which Shi’ites believe was never prohibited. Meanwhile, men who don’t have the money to marry believing women should marry Muslim slave girls (v. 25).

The deity then turns to general moral exhortations, including a prohibition of suicide (vv. 29-30). Is suicide bombing included in this prohibition? The Muslim leaders who justify it say that it isn’t, as the object of the action is not to kill oneself, but to kill infidels, and thus is the killing and being killed that is rewarded with Paradise according to Qur’an 9:111. Allah tells Muslims to avoid the “major sins” (v. 31) What are those? Islamic cleric Hafidh Dhahabi lists 70 major sins in his Kitab ul-Kaba’ir, beginning with shirk, or associating partners with Allah (i.e., saying Jesus is God’s Son), and including black magic, adultery, desertion on the battlefield, drinking alcohol, lying, stealing, pride, misappropriating the booty, spying on others, harming Muslims and speaking ill of them, disobeying one’s husband, and making pictures. Other lists add more. Another book, Al Ashba wa al-Nadha’ir, lists offenses such as eating pork, dancing, castrating one’s slave, apostasy, playing chess, masturbation, and drug use among the major sins.

Playing chess.

    The penalty of stoning WAS in the Koran, but is not now in the Koran, but Muslims consider it to be STILL in the Koran, even though it is NOT NOW in the Koran.

    Mohammed practiced stoning, so his followers practiced stoning. That means that MOHAMMED’S EXAMPLE is EQUAL TO THE KORAN, even though Muslims do not believe that the hadiths are equal to the Koran, THEY STILL ACT as thought the hadiths are EQUAL TO THE KORAN.

    Confused? Isn’t Islam inconsistent and incredible doubletalk?

      During my teenage years I read a lot. I read the Bible, Taoist texts, Hindu texts , I started to read the Koran, got halfway through it and it just creeped me out .
      Islam is a self-serving pile of ideological tripe. IO thank Mr Spencer for the textual analysis, but I can only read so much and I feel like : it’s obvious, excrement ids excrement , no matter howe you dress it up. The koran gives moo slim men the excuse to just do whatever they want, the assertion that islam recognises the basic equality in creation of man and woman ( both of the same soul ) is truly disingenuous , considering the treatment of women as chattel that is circumsribed in the stupid sura and hadith.

        Islam is misogynistic and Islamic government if paternalistic. Why don’t feminists who rail at the imagined patriarchy in the West criticize the real patriarchy that exists in almost all Muslim countires.

    @mortimer
    Any penal law can be said to be practicable if it exhibits the
    following qualities:
    1. It becomes a retribution for the crime committed.
    2. It prevents crime.
    3. It serves to create a sense of dread in criminals.
    4. It serves to assuage the feelings of the victims who have
    undergone privations.
    5. It seeks to refine and transform the criminal.
    6. It provides for the compensation of those who suffered losses
    due to the crime.
    7. It seeks to make the criminal repent his deed.
    8. It seeks to protect the society from crime and disorder.
    All of these qualitative functions may be seen to be fulfilled by
    any of the penal laws in Islam. It can thus be said without a shadow of
    doubt, that they are, indeed, practicable.

    Prophet never allow women to marry a beater
    Muslim :: Book 9 : Hadith 3526,3527
    Fatima bint Qais (Allah be pleased with her) reported: My husband Abu ‘Amr b. Hafs b. al-Mughira sent ‘Ayyish b. Abu Rabi’a to me with a divorce, and he also sent through him five si’s of dates and five si’s of barley. I said: Is there no maintenance allowance for me but only this, and I cannot even spend my ‘Idda period in your house? He said: No. She said: I dressed myself and came to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him). He said: How many pronouncements of divorce have been made for you? I said: Three. He said what he (‘Ayyish b. Abu Rabi’a) had stated was true. There is no maintenance allowance for you. Spend ‘Idda period in the house of your cousin, Ibn Umm Maktum. He is blind and you can put off your garment in his presence. And when you have spent your Idda period, you inform me. She said: Mu’awiya and Abu’l-Jahm (Allah be pleased with them) were among those who had given me the proposal of marriage. Thereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Mu’awiya is destitute and in poor condition and Abu’l-Jahm is very harsh with women (or he beats women, or like that), you should take Usama b. Zaid (as your husband).

    Wife beat prohibited:
    Muslim :: Book 30 : Hadith 5756
    ‘A’isha reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) never beat anyone with his hand, neither a woman nor a servant, but only, in the case when he had been fighting in the cause of Allah and he never took revenge for anything unless the things made inviolable by Allah were made violable; he then took revenge for Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.
    Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 62 :: Hadith 132
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Zam’a:
    The Prophet said, “None of you should flog his wife as he flogs a slave and then have sexual intercourse with her in the last part of the day.”
    Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 466
    Muslim :: Book 30 : Hadith 5756
    Muslim :: Book 9 : Hadith 3526 ,3527

      But you can flog her as long as you don’t intend to have relations with her later? Or you can flog her less than you would a slave, and then still have intercourse? (Slippery sentence, you must admit!)

    Many of the Prophets in the Old Testament of the Bible had
    more than one wife. The Book of Genesis makes it quite clear that
    Abraham, who is described as the ideological father of the Jewish
    community, had two wives in Sarah and Hagar (16:1-3). It can also be
    seen from the Bible that after the death of Sarah, he married a woman
    named Kedura and that besides this, he mad many other wives as well
    (Genesis 25:1-6)
    Jacob, who was the father of the tribe of Israel had four wives
    named Leya (Genesis 29:21), Laban (29:29), Bilha (30:4) and Silha
    (30:9). As for David who is known as the author of the Psalms, it can
    be seen that he had besides the wives Meekal (1 Samuel 18:29) Batt
    Sheba (2 Samuel 11:27), Abeenovam (2 Samuel 3:3), Abeegayal, Maky,
    Hageethi, Abeethal, Eggai (2 Samuel 3:4-5), had many other as well.
    His son Solomon, who is known as author of the Proverbs had seven
    hundred wives and three hundred concubines! (1 King 11:3) Indeed,
    as a token of the greatness of many individuals, the Old Testament
    cites that ‘they had many wives and sons! (I Chronicles 7:3). These
    instances are reffered only to show that Polytheism was commonplace
    during the times of the Old Testament.
    Even in modern societies in which fidelity to one wife is claimed
    it is a fact the practice of having sexual relations with more than one
    woman is quite common. The only difference being that it has been
    referred to by different pet names. While the rich man fulfills his sexual
    desire in the call girl engaged in ‘Public’ relations, the ordinary man
    seeks gratification at the brothels. Studies have shown that those who
    have not approached the prostitute, called by different names, even
    once are very few indeed. Modern society can hardly seen it as a
    crime. In addition to this, statistics reveal that sexual perversions a like
    wife swapping and group sex are on the increase among the elite in
    society. In reality, many of those who strongly speak out against
    polygamy are themselves slave to such sexual misconducts..
    There are situations wherein polygamy becomes inevitable at
    the personal as well as the social level within a society entrenched in
    righteousness. Personal circumstances may be summarized as follows:
    One: Man’s sexual urge. It is an uncontested fact that at least
    in the case of some men, there are instances where sexual gratification
    is hardly achieved through one woman alone. After all, sexual
    relations are not possible with women during their periods of
    menstruations, pregnancy and the like. During all such periods, there
    may be men who cannot control their sexual urge. Before these men
    there are but two options: Polygamy or adultery.
    Two: Sexual impotence of the wife. Sometimes impotence in
    women cannot be rectified through treatment. It is but natural that the
    man will, however, need to have the means of fulfilling his desires
    during such periods of inability of his wife. There can only be the
    option of either Polygamy or adultery or else it must be divorce. These
    are the only three ways out for the man. Adultery is, doubtless, immoral.
    As for divorce, though permitted it must be avoidedas much as
    possible. In such a context, polygamy becomes the best alternative.
    Three: Barrenness of the wife. If the wife is barren, there are
    three options before the man: (1) To live a life without having any off
    spring. (2) To divorce the barren woman and to marry another. (3) To
    marry another woman while maintaining the first wife.
    The first option will be an act of cruelty to one’s self. The second
    will be cruelty to the wife. After all, it was not her fault that she
    ended up being barren. It is the third option which is humane. Through
    it, the barren wife may find joy in looking after, and bringing up, the
    children of her husband as her own. She is also thus enabled in fulfilling
    her yearning for motherhood.

      Thank God for Jesus who brought light into the world and treated women as equals. Muslims do not, in fact mohammad referred to them as domestic animals and the old testament did not.
      “Now then , O people, you have a right over your wives and they have a right over you. You have [the right] that they should not cause anyone of whom you dislike to tread your beds, and that they should not commit any open indecency (fahishah). If they do, then God permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain from [evil], they have a right to their food and clothing in accordance with custom [bi’l-ma’ruf]. Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals [awan] with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words…..”

      The Bible tells a Christian man that he should have only one wife and that he should treat her with respect and honour and to love her as Christ loved the congregation. It tells men that they should not beat their wife but should love them and be tender. Muslims on the other hand are told they can beat their wife. Muslims are misogynistic to the extreme even saying that a woman is worth half a man and that they are simple minded. In fact a muslim woman covered in black from head to toe said that it was right for men to be worth 2 women because she had been brainwashed to believe that a woman’s mind was weak. How sick is that. If people should dress modestly why don’t muslim men cover from head to toe in heavy black garments including covering their face. Is it because they have made women ashamed of who they are and so should hide there evil selves from the world but men are wonderful so can be seen in public. After all, according to Islam 95% of those in hell are women and if a woman does, by some miracle, get to heaven she then becomes a sex slave just as she was on Earth. women to muslims are just creatures to be shagged all the time by their lustful men.
