The best podcast and interview I have ever heard - no question about it. I knew it would be insightful but the amount of clarity, inspiration, hope and value I am walking away with is just, tremendous. Thank you Lex for hosting Omar Suleiman.,(reply>), Cowards beat women.,(reply>), Thanks to the grace of God, I have not needed a man to protect me.  The only one am obedient to is God.,(reply>), Qur'an 4:34 <br>ABUL ALA MAUDUDI<br>Men are the protec-tors and maintainers of women because Allah has made one of them excel over the other, and because they spend out of their possessions (to support them). Thus righteous women are obedient and guard the rights of men in their absence under Allah’s protection. As for women of whom you fear rebellion, admonish them, and remain apart from them in beds, and beat them. Then if they obey you, do not seek ways to harm them. Allah is Exalted, Great.,(reply>), Sense of hygiene by Muhammad <br>Sunan Abi Dawud 66<br><br>Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:<br><br>The people asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): Can we perform ablution out of the well of Buda'ah, which is a well into which menstrual clothes, dead dogs and stinking things were thrown?
