[quote][quote][blue]quote:[i]Every translation use meaning of ‘Daraba’ here to ‘BEAT’. Pickthal means to ‘SCOURGE’.

If you mean or interpret otherwise then, it is absurd, whimful and wishful.[/i][/blue]

[purple]we ought to come out of this close-mindedness and adapt a more open and  educational attitude whilst reading and understanding the revelations.
only this morning during routine study, as i read through surah anfal(8),once again came across verse 60 where god has commanded to keep resources prepared and available for defence-the arabic word used is 'ribat il khail' ready,tied up horses- today tanks, jets n such are used instead. wud we still insist on keeping horses for the purpose because this is what Qur'an has said literally [?][?][/purple]

[red] but because here it will be a matter of 'maar khana' (to [u]be[/u] beaten up/phainti[:(] [B)] -so we wud happily accept this interpretation of meaning and switch-over to all modern equipments of war available

however as it comes to 'maarna' and dealing with our physically weaker spouse (in most cases [8)] ), we would therefore insist on the literal meaning of 'daraba'  as beating--we must honestly ask our concience that who is being wishful and whimful here...[}:)] [/red][/quote]
It is an absurd explnation![/quote]
