Abstract

God mercifully and kindly spread out religions so that people can live in safety, comfort and happiness. Because humans are carefree and tend to perform self-destructive acts, religions warned against subjecting oneself or others to dangers, which leads to violence. This research throws light on violence as a phenomenon that violates human nature, because of the enormous damage it breads. Quran warns against violence and offers preventive ways to avoid its lethal trap. Because of the abundance of Quranic verses warning against violence and its dangers to human life, this research studies family violence, by focusing on exegetes’ opinions and discretion on verses relating to violence. Al-Tahrir va Al-Tanvir is used as a model to other exegetes who dealt with the Quranic verses which discussed intimate partner violence and its treatment. This research aims at analyzing and criticizing those exegeses, in order to strike a balance between them.
