Child abuse in Islam

Every person who grew up in Islam in an Islamic country knows that child protection laws are near none existent. And when it comes to religious teaching, beating children into submission is required as explained in the authentic hadith:

Narrated As-Saburah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Command a boy to pray when he reaches the age of seven years. When he becomes ten years old, then beat him for prayer. Sunan Abi Dawud 494 (Sahih)

This command is not repeated once but seven times by different narrators all ranging from Sahih to Hasan (Authentic to good).

If you go on YouTube and search, you will see horrifying number of videos of child beatings that would make you sick. I have witnessed this in my own family where one cousin of mine who had learning difficulties, dyslexic, and left handed was beaten up almost on a daily basis to abide by the Islamic teaching.

The issue that most Islamists who agree with this form of child abuse is that they refuse to address two things:
– Islam told us we are all born with the intuition to believe in Islam because we are born Muslims. Surely this child is already Muslim even if they are taking a bit longer to learn or at times not abiding by the rules. They are just a child and if you truly believe in the intuition thing, you know they will find their way.

– Wasn’t Islam about conviction? How can anyone justify violence if they GENUINELY believe in the idea of Islam being by conviction.

How would you have responded to a video of similar violence done by say a family of atheists beating their children to memorise Darwin book of “The Origin of Species” or threaten to be killed if they refuse to agree with Richard Dawkins book “God Delusion”? Would you not consider that brainwashing and child abuse? So I ask you one more time…how can you not see that your approach is not in fact brainwashing and child abuse. If you had real faith that Islam is truth, you would never force them instead let this so-called “perfect” book of almighty Allah do it’s magic…if you dare!

Due to popular demands, I have decided to set up an online blog with all the memes you will need to source. The memes are intended to be fun, touches of humour, and informative. Every year many people like you and me, leave Islam. The US reports that 23% of American born Muslims have left Islam, 18% of British Muslims have left Islam, BBC reported in 2019 that 18% of Arabs see themselves are irreligious with the rate as high as 30% among the youth. This page is intended mainly to translate the many atheist Arabic memes that are shared in the Arabic social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Islamophobic content will not be tolerated! Content that challenges the teachings of the Quran, Hadith, Serat (story) of Mohammad, and Islamic teachings are all welcomed. If you are considering to convert to Islam or you are Muslim who is questioning your faith, this is the place to be. We welcome your contributions.
