Couple Conflict and Domestic Violence in the Quran: Treatment and Remedies — Djazouli Djamel | Maison d'Ennour | Islam Book

Presentation

Verse 34 of Surah An-Nisâ is one of the most cited, most debated... and most misunderstood Quranic passages. This rigorous and accessible work by Djazouli Djamel finally offers you an in-depth, honest and complete reading of the concept of nuchuz and the term darb, far from ideological shortcuts and activist manipulation. A reading that reconciles faith, reason and marital justice.

« As for those whose disobedience (nuchuz) you fear, exhort them, avoid them in their beds and strike them (idribuhunna). » — Surah An-Nisâ (4:34)

What you will discover

• ✦ The true meaning of the Arabic term darb in its linguistic, historical and Quranic context — beyond the literal translation too often instrumentalized
• ✦ The notion of nuchuz in its two dimensions: that of the woman AND that of the man, too often obscured in debates
• ✦ The Quranic vision of marital conflict as a gradual process of treatment and reconciliation, not domination
• ✦ A documented refutation of Islamophobic discourse, reductive interpretations and abusive uses of this verse by bad-faith men
• ✦ The inner and outer teachings of verse 34 in all its coherence and spiritual depth
