There is none without Him. ||75|| they will consider it a biggest Shirk , and in Islamic regime its offense worth death penalty as was done to Mansoor for saying Anl- Haq  by stoning him . i found none who could  explained/ justified to me the Quranic verse related to "beating  Wife ", i will be thankful to you if you can .Aslaam .</blockquote>
