Q9: On the Beating Verse and Men as Protectors of Women, Khaled Abou El Fadl Q&A with LAMLA

Professor Khaled Abou El Fadl hosts a Q&A with Latino American Muslim converts who have studied his book, "The Great Theft: Wrestling Islam from the Extremists." While this session was for new converts, Dr. Abou El Fadl covers important common questions that confront all Muslims. In this segment, Dr. Abou El Fadl addresses the interaction between men and women.

Also, to touch on what the man asked.. he also needs to consider the unpaid care work women do. E.g. cooking, cleaning, child care, and even elderly care. Also, if you want children, that's another thing your wife will go through, emotional and physical pains and changes. Some women do all this, as well as do an outside job.

Alhamdulillah, just discovered this channel and am ordering several books as I write. So refreshing to hear the professor eloquently express what I have always believed since I first read the Quran and knew I wanted to be a Muslim. Islam is the Path to a relationship with God, and harmony with the self and with society, a vision which immediately dawns on every new convert to Islam but is unfortunately burdened under layers of cultural traditions and protectionism. Your lectures are so moving and unburdened, your voice is much needed in the world today. May Allah bless you and reward you.

Hello everyone, please also look up the other, alternative translations of the word used for "beat". How could God allow violence? Against your own family?

@9:15 Shaykh Khaled says if Muhammad Al Ghazali's books were translated into English... They are slowly being. A couple I saw by Dar Al Taqwa publishing. PS This is regarding Muhammad Al Ghazali who was Khaled Abou El Fadl's teacher in Al Azhar in the 20th century. Not the Ghazali who wrote, Ihya Ulum ad-Din hundreds of years ago...🙂

The sheikh mentioned that he has written about this verse in detail. Where can we read that / what is the name of the article or book please.

I have a question. When Khomeini came after Post Revolutionary Iran, he implemented very similar rules to Saudi Arabia. Men became the guardians and protectors of women in Iran too. So is this only from Najdi Islam?

Sir, which Sheikh did you mention? Al Razali? Please could you also list everything in the description of your videos?

[dr_hebaahmed]
