This video is getting a lot of attention, and Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khazraj Al-Ansari is being laughed at. But he is no “extremist.”
“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127)
“Qatari Sociologist Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khazraj Al-Ansari Demonstrates Correct Wife-Beating in Islam,” MEMRI, March 29, 2019:
On March 29, 2019, Qatari sociologist Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khazraj Al-Ansari uploaded a video to the Al-Mojtama YouTube channel in which he gave a demonstration and explanation about how to beat your wife in an Islamically permissible fashion. He said that it is not necessary to beat one’s wife frequently, but that a man – as the leader of the house – must sometimes exercise his authority and discipline his wife “out of love” so that “life can move on.” Al-Ansari said that the beating should be light and painless, and that it should make the wife feel her husband’s masculinity and strength, as well as her own femininity. Al-Ansari then demonstrated how to beat one’s wife on Nayef – a little boy who might be his son – by slapping him on the shoulders, grabbing him and shaking him, and saying loudly: “I told you not to leave the house! How many times do I have to tell you?” Al-Ansari said that punching your wife or striking her in the face is prohibited and explained that it is in some women’s nature to like domineering, authoritative, violent, and powerful husbands. For additional clips from Al-Ansari, see MEMRI TV Clip No. 7108 and No. 7085.
Following are excerpts:
Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khazraj Al-Ansari: Dear viewers, many people – especially people who are married – would like to know how to beat one’s wife. Is beating your wife necessary? Must a man beat his wife every day? No.
[…]
First, we must understand that the man is the leader of the house. A leader has authorities, just like a company manager.
[…]
The leader of the house may decide to discipline the wife so life can move on.
[…]
How does a husband beat his wife? He gives her a disciplinary beating out of love. He loves her. The beating should be light, and must make the wife feel her femininity and her husband’s masculinity. Now, let’s see how Islam teaches how to beat your wife. Let’s imagine that Nayef here… How are you, Nayef? Nayed is obviously a boy, but let’s imagine that he is the wife. How should a husband beat his wife? First, he must “admonish her” – in other words, he should advise her. Then, he should refrain from sharing a bed with her. If all of this doesn’t help, we start the beating as a last resort. What is beating in Islam? Beating in Islam… Wait, don’t move… The husband must make his wife feel his strength. Why aren’t you listening to me?! How many times do I have to tell you?! How many times do I have to tell you so you’ll listen?! Didn’t I tell you not to leave the house without my permission?! You see how? A little bit of rebuke… Obviously, she’s starting to talk back… I told you not to leave the house! How many times do I have to tell you? See how the beating is done? I told you not to leave the house! The beating is light, brothers. Don’t leave the house again! Do you understand?! Yes or no?! You see, brothers? This is beating in Islam. But some people punch her or slap her on the face… That’s not allowed. The Prophet Muhammad… Look how merciful Islam is. The Prophet forbade striking the face. He forbade men from beating their wives on the face. Slapping the face, hitting the head, punching the nose – all of this is prohibited. The beating is for discipline. Let’s see how it’s done. Don’t leave the house again! Listen to what I tell you! This is a painless beating that does not leave bruises or cause bleeding.
[…]
The beating I just gave Nayef is the true gentle beating in Islam.
[…]
Brothers, why do husbands beat their wives? Because some wives like domineering and authoritative husbands. By nature, they like violent and powerful husbands.
[…]
With some women, admonishing them and refraining from sharing their beds won’t help. The only thing that helps with such women is beating. She needs to feel that you are a real man. That’s her nature. Dear brothers, I hope you understood the right to discipline a wife in Islam. We must not start asking questions about whether our religion is cruel. No, our religion is a religion of mercy and kindness.

“By nature, they like violent and powerful husbands.”
********************************************
Sure, they do. This is baloney, made up to put the blame on the woman for the beatings she gets from the thug, the brute, who is the “husband.” He likes beating his wife. If she liked it, he would find someone else to beat in order to satisfy his demonic personality. But the wife is broken and injured by the beatings, so he must pretend that she likes it.
And he used a little boy…who now knows how he is to treat his wife when he gets married.

Ashley says
A video of a Muslim demonstrating how to properly beat your wife is indeed grotesque.
That said, I didn’t catch the fool actually “beating” his child prop. I heard the fool actually discouraging inflicting bodily harm, just emphasizing male authority and control as a man.
Gross, yes. But for those of us who have lost a loved one or friend to domestic violence, this video might have merit.
Islam didn’t play a part for the loss of two close friends…one stabbed, another shot. After years of beatings…
gravenimage says
Ashley, this is fairly boilerplate these days. Muslims deny that serious beating is allowed, all the while snickering and smirking. There is actually nothing in Islam that prevents brutal beatings.
Anjuli Pandavar says
and more: Muhammad, via the Hadith, lay down that no man shall be questioned about his beating his wife.
Sorry, Muslims. There is no way around this. Your religion is primitive and cruel. The only reason this cretin urges, “We must not start asking questions about whether our religion is cruel,” is precisely because Muslims are questioning whether your religion is cruel. It is damage-limitation, the damage caused by Muslims today, all over the world, being able to compare Islam to civilisation and finding Ayatollah Ali Sistani to be right, “Islam and civilisation are two different things.” Sistani said this *in defence of* Islam, so Islam might not be tarnished with civilisation. The cretin in this video is trying to have it both ways, desperate to stem the flood of Muslims leaving Islam. Unfortunately for him, and for all who try to whitewash this cruel religion, it is not possible to say that the Qur’an is wrong, which leaves those Muslim who are disturbed by their religion’s cruelty with only three options: 1. go full-Muslim; 2. become a lier; 3. walk.
Demsci says
I might add more possibilities for those who are “nominal Muslims”, namely
4. Keep low profile and only act Islamic if you have to or if it is with the non-controversial tenets, like dietary laws, fasting, praying, hijrah and so on.
5. Re-interpret, cherry pick, say that some Islamic commands are only DESCRIPTIVE, no longer PRESCRIPTIVE (although that indeed would be LYING a lot of the time, because most don’t really mean that, but it IS possible that some do mean it).

That’s where the “Don’t Leave the House” rule comes in. See, Allah knows best.
DHazard says
I have been trying to find Allah’s opinions on the subject of “love” but he never really seems to address it. He’s big on human sex with all kinds of rules and opinions, but almost mute when it comes to love. We know that Islam can inhibit or even overpower love, as witnessed in the many honor killings involving parent and children (filicide). I can’t prove it but I have the strong feeling that, for many Muslim families, the bonds between family members are frequently confrontational and otherwise anger based. This hostility usually stems from the irresolvable conflict between established Islamic values and reality.
If Allah considers Love a trivial subject than I consider him a trivial god, created by a petty mind.
keith Oades says
You hit the nail big time! We as civilized humans are aware that behaviors learned in the home translate to the way we view the rest of the world.
If our upbringing is in a loving and supportive environment, then that is typically how we behave as adults.
When we grow up in a household full of hate and fear with no sane guidance, then the behavior as adults will based upon that.
Only have to look at some of the more crime ridden parts of our cities or Muslim countries.

Muslim sociologist demonstrates proper Islamic way to beat one’s wife
………………….
As soon as I saw the boy there, I knew this pious Muslim was going to demonstrate on him–because beating your wife is fine, but allowing her to be seen by other men–even in a “how to beat your wife” video–is completely Haram.
God, I hate Islam.
The idea that a woman feels feminine while being beaten up by her husband is also particularly sick. I guess civilized men can dispense with flowers and jewelry and poetry…

Ric says
A Muslim sociologist demonstrates to a young male child on the principles of how to properly beat one’s wife. This misogynistic, inhumane teaching would distress or anger most people; however, the leftists will either justify this repugnancy, stating it is a Muslim’s choice, as it is merely a cultural trait or diversity, as is Female Genital Mutilation. The Western MSM, of course, does not want to offend or provoke Muslims, more so appalling its left-wing viewers or readers would label the news providers as Islamophobes, thus they pump-out fake-news and anti-Semitic, anti-American propaganda.
People of the Leftist psychopathy or schism choose blindness and silence when it comes to the repugnancy of Islam. The reason is, the leftist MSM is not journalism as it was decades ago but a byproduct, an offshoot of PRAVDA, and the fear-mongering, hate-mongering, and the antisemitic regurgitations of propagandist Josef Goebbels. History is repeating itself, and the gormless, treasonous Leftist-Progressives, Democrats will never catch on.

Demsci says
well, to consider is: culture-relativism versus culture-absolutism. Supposedly before cultural anthropologists like Franz Boas (1930’s?) people from all cultures viewed their own as the best.
But since Boas questioned that, it became very popular to see all cultures as equal in value for humans I suppose. In the West, not so much in the Islamic world of course.
And so many feminists seem to think; culture trumps gender. Meaning “in our, very imperfect culture, we can bash the patriarchal white supremacists. BUT ……. Muslims come from a different culture, and that culture MUST be of equal value, if not better than our own. And to criticize another culture …….SOME Feminists might say:
Pffffff, how DARE you? How arrogant, egocentrici, Western-centric(?) you are!
Disclaimer; this was a broad outline, with exaggerations, slight errors in timing, and not meant as generalisation of ALL Culture-relativists, feminists. Nor meant as complete rejection of their tenets. It is just that I am an culture-absolutist and I believe Judeo-Christian, Enlightenment culture the best, or the least bad. Applicable to the whole world, not just the West.

The true gentle mass murder in Islam.
The true gentle hand and foot chopping off in Islam.

Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
This video contains no scriptural justification for its assertion that “slapping the face, hitting the head, punching the nose, leaving bruises, and causing bleeding are prohibited.” Sez who? Did the Prophet (pbuh) say so in some hadith? Quote it!
Demsci says
That is one way to go, Mark.
In a thought experiment; might there be another way? Respectfully listen to Ansari explaining the Divine commands of Allah is HIS way. Affirming his explanation as indeed plausible.
But the umpteenth way of explaining this text. And he is de facto supported by leftists as well, who tell us (to shut us up), that “THE ISLAM DOES NOT EXIST”.
Fine! If we take all of them at their word, that makes Islam confused and confusing! Useless! Is THIS what almighty Allah is supposed to help mankind with?
Demsci says
Let us see how we can use this. To begin with: can we view Muslims as people with many facets, that could be A1-attributes, but also with this despised detrimenal religion; Islam. So the goal becomes to let as many Muslims apostasize as possible.
Another goal becomes to lessen the “red-green alliance”.
Muslims can be shamed by video’s like this, by ridicule.
Now leftists can by and large only be pressured to give up on Islam by opposition power, so by letting the Trumps of this world win and get power.
And with power to conservatives the 2 sides can trade; for instance help with climate change in Exchange for dumping Islam, as opposed to dumping Muslims, meaning the even leftists openly declare Islam an untrue, useless religion.
Now we can show this video to leftists who are in favor of equal rights for women and Shane them in declaring their disgust.
More disingenious; we can attack Islam in its UNCLARITY. Because in this video this “respectable man” shows us is ONE of several possible conclusions from “immutable Divine commands”. And why is HIS interpretation less than that of the 4 schools of Islamic thought?
If these variations in interpretations are all valid, then none are! That makes Islam unworkable, unclear, incomplete, ambiguous, contradicting imperfect and UN-DIVINE (an insult to Allah for saying this mess comes from HIM!).
Rufolino says
I recently saw a man in Morocco publicly beating his wife on the street. No one took a shred of notice. Unforgettable.
Anjuli Pandavar says
One possible scenario preceding the public beating: the woman left the house without her husband’s permission (leave aside what might’ve driven her to such defiance). Because she was out in public without her husband’s permission, others might’ve seen her, suggesting that he has no control over his wife. It is therefore necessary not only for him to beat her, but for him to be seen to be beating her. The longer he beats her, the more will see with their own eyes, thus more certainly setting aside all doubt about his authority over her. Even if he wasn’t Muslim enough and actually didn’t want to beat her at all, he might still do it and do so publicly to avoid his sons getting teased at school. Of course, not all Muslims, etc.

Mohammad Sr. teaching Mohammad Jr how to beat his wife tenderly. That is a tender moment indeed, Ohhhh the fond memories they both will have,
I think I need a tissue, I may cry…….
Anjuli Pandavar says
Muslim man, assuming that you have only one wife, you love her, and do not order her about expecting her to obey you, keep her image in your mind as you read this:
“But the wives from whom you fear disobedience, …beat them,” (Qur’an 4:34). On your *mere suspicion* of her *possible* disobedience in the future, beat her. That’s it.
So you beat her senseless, see the state you’ve put her in, are filled with remorse and shame, consult the Hadith, and read this declaration from Muhammad:
“A man should not be asked why he beats his wife,” (Sunan Ibn Majah 3:9:1986). OK, it’s not that bad, you tell yourself. But you love her and you’ve done this and the shit feeling just won’t go away. You want to talk to someone about it, but fear they will recoil from you and call you a complete pig. Then you stumble on a video on Islamic wife-beating, and in hope of you-know-not-what, you watch it. The guy demonstrating how you should beat your wife, Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khazraj Al-Ansari, says,
“Dear brothers, I hope you understood the right to discipline a wife in Islam. …The beating is light, brothers. …You see, brothers? This is beating in Islam.”
And the gentle way he speaks to you, so non-judgementally, soothes you. You can now see that your wife hadn’t done anything wrong in the first place. She ended up in a complete mess because your thought she *might* disobey you. You’ve judged and punished her *before* she’d done wrong, and here is this guy being so nice to you *after* you’ve beaten the Hell out of her, even calling you ‘Dear brother,’ and everything. You cry. You breathe out a long sigh, are able to think more clearly, and resolve to confess your horror to your wife and to beg her forgiveness. Before doing so, you want to cleanse your heart, so you open the Qur’an, and you read:
“Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives …and lead them to the path to hell,” (Qur’an 37:22-23).
and it pierces your mind like a red-hot spear that if you do wrong, you’ll go to Hell, and *it doesn’t matter whether your wife did right or wrong*, she’s going to Hell with you anyway. And in a flash you understand that you are better than Allah.
The realisation shakes you to the core.
Slowly, you become aware of the next question forming in your mind, until it’s large and clear: has every Muslim who ever left Islam done so because they were better than Allah? The fact that you can ask such a question means that you are already free from the chains of Islam, you no longer fear. And you answer: Yes, of course they are.
Now you have something else to tell your wife…

David Darman says
Wife beating is just the tip of the Islamic iceberg. Contrast this dancing on the head of a pin mumbo jumbo expiation of 4:34 (and Erdogan’s governance) with these words of Kemal Mustafa Ataturk, founder of modern Turkey, who said this about governance and Islam:
“Islam, this absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin, is a rotting corpse which poisons our lives.”
” I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap. My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will; every man can follow his own conscience, provided it does not interfere with sane reason or bid him against the liberty of his fellow-men.”
