PHILADELPHIA MASAJID TAKES STAND AGAINST MUSLIMS ABUSING THEIR WIVES

The masjid ashura of Philadelphia takes a stand against Brothers who abuse thieir wives. Read and excerpt below and the entire article at:

In a bold move against the physical abuse of wives, the Majlis ash-Shura of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley agreed in May to a get-tough policy: the names of men, who are confirmed to have abused their wives, will be made known to all the masjids in the area; masjids in the Majlis will be asked not to allow the man to be married in their masjid; and business dealings with the man will be discouraged.

Imam Isa Abdul-Mateen, Imam of Masjid al-Quran, introduced the resolution to the Majlis, stating that “We want people to know that this will not be tolerated.”  The Amir of the Majlis, Imam Asim Abdur Rashid, added, “This action is overdue.  There is no where in the Quran or Sunnah that says you can abuse your wife.  We simply just are not going to accept you beating on your wife.”
