Message: <blockquote data-quote="AncientGlory" data-source="post: 7417982" data-attributes="member: 262433">I have found here six translations of Qur'an 4:34:(Taken directly from the internet)All of them says men are superior to women and they have the right to beat them.(1)So it seems to me that islam is not a religion where women are treated equally. Do you agree?(2)If not why?<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"Men are superior to women on account of the qualities with which  God has gifted the one above the other, and on account of the outlay  they make from their substance for them. Virtuous women are obedient,  careful, during the husband's absence, because God has of them been  careful. But chide those for whose  refractoriness you have cause to fear; remove them  into beds apart, and scourge them:  but if they are obedient to you, then seek not occasion against them:  verily, God is High, Great!" (Rodwell's version of the Koran, Quran,  4:34)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"Men have authority over women because God 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 God has  guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you,  take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme."  (Dawood's version of the Koran, Quran, 4:34)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"Men are in charge of women, because Allah has made the one of them  to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the  support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret  that which Allah has guarded. As for those from whom you fear rebellion,  admonish them and banish  them to beds apart, and scourge  them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is  ever High Exalted, Great." (Pickthall's version of the Koran, Quran,  4:34)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has  preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have  expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient,  guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear may be  rebellious admonish; banish  them to their couches, and beat them.  If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; God is All  high, All great." (Arberry's version of the Koran, Quran, 4:34)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of  them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the  good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has  guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave  them alone in their sleeping places and beat  them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them;  surely Allah is High, Great. (Shakir's version of the Koran, Quran,  4:34)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has  given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support  them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly  obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have  them guard. As to those women on whom part you fear disloyalty and ill  conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to  obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance) for Allah is Most  High, Great (above you all). (Ali's version of the Koran, Quran, 4:34)</li> </ol></blockquote>
