Is the sunnah part of the quran? No therefore its basically not revelevant
i already said i dont want to discuss anything apart from the fundamental texts of islam, which are all in the quran.
I already provided 6 translations of the quran which say a husband can beat his wife at the start of this thread
Response: For starters, islam is the teachings of the Qur'an and sunnah. So stating that you want to address something about islam by only referring to the Qur'an does not make any sense because to get the full answer, one must also refer to the sunnah.
Secondly, no where in verse 6:114 does it say that nothing is left out of the Qur'an. It says the Qur'an is fully explained and is true. Based on that very meaning, the sunnah is to be followed, as the Qur'an clearly says to do so in verse 4:59.
As for the translations of wife beating, no one disputes wife beating. However, as both the Qur'an and sunnah shows, there is nothing wrong with it, as the discipline is made by using a light tap that leaves no pain or scars. With that said, the usual objection by non-Muslims is that it's still wrong because no one likes to be hit. To that I say then, that you should help to free every prisoner from jail. Why? Because they don't like it. Anyone can see the absurdity. It's a punishment. It's not supposed to be liked. Once again, Islam is still established as a just religion.
