Me and my manager were having this discussion. He thinks if he raised his hand on his son, his son would retaliate by raising his hand on him…
Put yourself’s in this situation. Your father is beating the crap out of you for something thats not your fault, in fact he himself is in the wrong, however he has started beating you up…and he carries on beating you up.
What would you do?
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
hmmn, i'd prolly do my best to run away.
(i had to erase that cause i felt bad for writing that cause my dad would never hurt my mom thank God :) )
Thank God my daddy isn't like that :)
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Beating my father? Absolutely out of question. That would be utter badtameezi.
On the other hand: Throughout my childhood I have only been beaten twice by my father. It was really a "last resort" for him.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
...i would simply walk away from the situation.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
never!
i'd make myself think of all da things he have done for me throughout my life and make him understand da actual situation once he's cooled down. but of course i wont juz sit there and take da beatings :D.... maybe duck here and there everytime i see it coming hehehe
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
When I was a 7-year old kid, my parents told me before I started school that if someone hit you, then you should hit them back.
With a child’s logic, the next time my mother thappar marred me, I punched her 
I got a lot more thappars for that 
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
I wouldn't even if he was beating me up with a stick, like everyone said best thing would be to run away at that moment and try talking to him once hes done with the violence. If hitting him back was the only way to stop him, even then I wouldn't, I would just take the beating.
Btw my dad has never hit me, so i dont even know the feeling :o
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
LoL maddy thats hillarious!
I was such a good kid that never did anythign that deserved a thappar. I just sat there with my chubby cheecks looking all innocent :Pretty:
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Although I have never been and will never be in such a situation....yes if he was hitting me to the point that I bleed without it being my fault and knowing he's in the wrong then i would push him or something...and then walk away like FOREVER.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
i'd hit anyone back who'd hit me...so if my dad does it...hes getting a good beat in return
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Nice mixture of replies.
Let me tell all of you something
Its very well sitting infront of your computers saying you would not retaliate but its different when it actually happens, not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
riz, if the person has gone crazy (and i mean out of control) then you as a victim has full right to defend yourself - however defending does not mean retaliation in the form of raising hand on your parents. Thats what differentiates Muslims from Non-Muslims as Islam gives extremely high respect to parents.
Similar story can be of Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) [PBUH] - When his parents failed to accept Islam - He[PBUH] left them.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
raising hands on parents (muslims or non-muslims, good or bad, right or wrong) = one way ticket to hell
except if they come in a battle with enemity against Islam....
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
All you guys who think youre so big you can hit your parent, if you truly respect the teachings of your religion you will know that your parents come second only after God. So raising a hand on your parent is like declaring war against God Himself.
If you have abusive parents, do whatever it takes to defend yourself. Do not retaliate. If it comes to a point where he or she is going to inflict severe bodily harm then do whatever it takes to stop him/her from doing that. But never hit your parent just because you want to get back at him/her.
Those of us who honestly believe in the life Hereafter (surprising how many muslims dont) would know that if we're ever treated unfairly in this life we will get repaid in full (with interest) in the Next life. So in a way when you get beaten up your parents are invariably helping even out some of your other sins.
A saying i heard once at friday prayers is how you treat your parents is how your children will treat you. So have a big heart and let it go. Heres your chance to be bigger than your parents.

so....if i treat my parents badly it means they did something bad to their parents too? vicious cycle.

In that case, it's your kismet and you are one bud kismet child. :D
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Best reply :k:
If it gets too bad I’d just leave home but keep in touch with them to make sure they’re getting on all right, parents have a lot of rights over their children, after everything they did for us we can’t take a bit of a beating from them?
I might have grown up in a Kaafir society but I know my Muslim values.
