Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Even the concept is unimaginable...Hitting a parent...
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
^ Lajo - its very much possible
Lets assume your parent is on a battlefield - and you are on a different side (lets assume this: you are fighting for Islam and He is fighting for kufr) - Then you by all means have the authority to defend yourself - and if neccessary ....
However, thats not realistic...but then again you never know.
Islam even though gives Parents a really high status - it allows us to punish aggressors:
Stated in Sura: Repentance:: that slay them where ever you find them (in battlefield -- and if they do not seek asylum)
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
You always were a simpleton maddy.
I don’t understand how anyone can possibly think of striking their parent. No matter how wrong they may be in their position.
I guess if you’re a child then the possibility of misunderstanding is there but definitely not once you are grown.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
A good parent would never hit an adult child and a child in return would never retaliate but respect the parent.
And, i would never ever think of hitting my parents. They can even take my life but i would never raise my hand. I am not just saying this i mean it. And i pray to Allah that day never comes if God forbid i have to retaliate in any way.
In our home it was all about respect. My mom only had to say that she would tell aboo about that and that was all for us to end whatever we were doing right there. I never made eye contact with my dad when i use to speak with him. AFter my marriage, things are different. I have always been able to communicate well with my parents. But, now we are more on a frienship level. With my mom...we were always like sisters/friends.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
What if a son or daughter hit his father. They don't hit hit him, they do however push him away and that's because the father was hitting the mother. . In that instance, would you guys still stand it? ? ?
And no, that's not me. Hypothetical situation . . . but i'd like to see what you guys have to say as far as that goes. How many of you would just watch it? how many of you would try to get your dad off? how many of you would shove him?
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
^ Exactly Solar - thats what I have said earlier. That once a person is no longer a Human but rather an Animal - then you have to defend and take position on the right side.-
Let me put some Scenarios for those "lovely folks here":
- A Father decides to Hit his spouse *]A parent decides to kill (child or spouse) Now, for those ppl who say they would never do such a thing...please give me a break - and get yourself a Double Double Tims. Coffee.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Guys I will describe a situation,
Your mum and dad have never spoken to each other in years...say they have not been in good talking terms for 15 years...Infact you cant even remember the last time they went out together...
You have a soft spot for your mum and she does not get treated right anyway, one day your father loses it with your mum, then what?
The status of mother is higher than father in Islam, In that scenario, I think its fair to say do the minimum amount possible to defend your mum,yourself etc, if that means shoving then fine, if it means hitting then fine.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Umm isnt it like a physical reaction to defend urself?? Or are we talking about actually premeditated revenge or something?
I think someone already said it, good parents dont hit their grown adult kids..but sometimes its just a quick reaction, u dont have time to think abt it..
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
...
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
no way man!!!!......as most of the ppl suggested its better to run away for the time-being....rising ur hand against ur father is one of the most shameless thing one can do!!!!....
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
I would cut off my arm before hitting my father.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
I think someone already said it, good parents dont hit their grown adult kids..but sometimes its just a quick reaction, u dont have time to think abt it..
no not revenge - rather defending oneself and the loved ones from either / both parents.
To 2 "nice folks above":
m_waleed: what if there in no time - or that a/both parent is/are hitting something that you dearly hold love to.
expa!!#!!!: yes... eating pop-corn....please continue
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Would never hit my dad if he hit me. Would never hit my mom (shudders), like, eva, even if she beat the crap out of me.
If my dad hit my mom, i would knock him the fcuk out.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
^ lol - good job dope!. Unfortunately some people here think that if your dad is hitting your mom, they should not react…
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
HAHAHHAHAAH serve u right 
the Only time my dad would beat me up when I was young…is whenever my report card came home 
hahaha other than dad I am the Ladliest daughter of my dad 
I am against beating up a child BIG TIME! I rather tell them with love instead beating the crap out!
I will never raise hand on my parents nor let any of my bro/sis to do it! ill kill them if they do!!!
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Easy now angry man. You will do whatever is necessary to protect your mom, i.e. try to stop your dad by pushing him back (kinda like how when friends break up fights in school they get in the middle push you back). It still doesnt give you reason to beat him up. If he doesnt stop then do whatever it takes to stop him from coming back.
Just keep in mind the idea is not to do harm to your father unnecessarily, but rather to protect your mother.
Sincerely,
Captain Lota

Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
If God forbid my dad was to hit mom (thank God that has never happened) I wouldn’t hit him but I would get in the way and prevent him from hitting her, if it was really bad I’d pack her bags and take her out of the house and get a place of my own where she can live safely.
Some of you sound so westernised (kaafirised) in your thinking, how can you even comprehend hitting the father who burnt his blood and sweat working so that you can have a decent life? We’re not like westerners, relationships don’t have as much meaning for westerners as they have for us, our parents do a lot more for us than western parents can ever imagine doing for their children, I’ve seen with my own eyes the nature of relationships in their non-Muslim culture, I’ve seen very few family orientated western families who selflessly love their families. You get some Muslim families who just don’t give a **** compared to westerners they are a minority.
Our Prophet :saw: was orphaned at a very young age but he always stressed the importance of respecting parents.
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
^ Faruk Khan,
You have misread the opinions. What the 'other' side is saying is that: When it becomes necessary then you must do what so ever to defend. This I have proven Islamically earlier - and please refrain from name calling - thats not very "Muslim" of you to do so.
Jazak'Allah Khair
Re: Would you ever raise your hand on your father?
Never in a lifetime would do such an act.
It is said that your DAD is the DOOR to Jannah. On another occasion, it is said (more or less to the effect) that if your dad is unhappy with you, Allah is unhappy.
So no act that would dissappoint him would I do, let alone hit and retaliate.
May Allah give all of us hidayat.
