This video shows a Kenyan man abusing his wife in public.
The man who's speaks Swahili ( a Muslim tribe language ) was caught on camera beating and dragging his wife while people watch . He accused his wife of cheating with another man.
Since there are some in the Muslim community that believe it is halal to smack their wives around because the woman is the property of the man, an unislamic idea in the first place, I thought it would be good to send out this important reminder. I know many people would like to see this issue not talked about as it is airing our dirty laundry in public, but it must be talked about and dealt with as Allah commands us to stand up for justice even if it is against our ownselves.
If you know of someone who is being abused it is haram for you to remain silent and you will be held accountable before Allah if you do not speak out. I personally hold in contempt any man who beats his wife and then comes to the mosque with all his outward signs of piety with the false assumption he is practicing the sunnah. This man is nothing more than a two-bit hypocrite. As the old saying goes, "why does he not pick on someone his own size?" Cowards rarely do that.
