LESSON # 251 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Punishment Of A Renegade
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –217d of 286, Section – 27 (Part -
2)
And whoso of you becometh a renegade and dieth in his
disbelief: such are they whose works have fallen both in the world and the
Hereafter. And such are rightful owners of the Fire, they will abide therein
forever.
|
Wa many-yartadid minkum ‘an- Diinihii
fayamut wa huwa kaafirun- fa- ‘ulaaa- ‘ika habitat
‘a’-maaluhum fid-dunyaa wal- ‘Akhirah. Wa ‘ulaaa-
‘ika ‘As-haabun-Naar. Hum fiihaa khaaliduun.
|
Lesson
It was cleared from the previous lesson that the Infidels and
Idolaters will carry on trying to turn the Muslims away from Islam with every
method. They will threaten and terrify them, offer them different hopes, tempt
them. Their entire attempts will be for the purpose that with any possible way
the Muslims should not increase in numbers, they would return towards the
ignorance and darkness of infidelity.
It has been warned in this verse that if any Muslim will become
a renegade leaving Islam under the influence of Infidels, due to scare or lure,
and will die in his disbelief then his all deeds will be lost. He will have to
face its punishment also in the world and on the Day of Resurrection too.
Punishment due to becoming a renegade toward infidelity from
Islam will be that his life and wealth will not be protected. His relation will
cut from his Muslim wife. He cannot get the hereditary property of the
Muslims. Moreover if there is a Muslim government then that disloyal, renegade
and rebel person has not any right for living.
On the Day of Resurrection he will be punished rigorously as he
will remain deprived from his rewards and compensation. He will not get
exchange of his any worship and good deed. He will be put in to the Hell, will
be burnt there forever and harmed any way.
Fayamut wa huwa kaafirun – (if he dies in his disbelief) Allah Almighty taught
from this sentence that if (God forbid) any Muslim becomes a renegade, even
then he has the opportunity to return toward the religion. The punishment of
Hereafter is only in that case, if he dies in the folly of Infidelity.
The punishment of the renegade is too much rigorous because he
became the renegade after understanding the Islam. Then doubts may rise in the
hearts of other persons seeing him.
LESSON # 252 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Belief, Emigration And Strive
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –218 of 286, Section – 27 (Part -
2)
Lo! Those who believe, and those who emigrate (to escape the
persecution) and strive in the Way of Allah, these have hope of Allah’s
Mercy. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
|
‘Innallaziina ‘aamanuu wallaziina
haajaruu wa jaa-haduu fii Sabiilillaahi,
‘ulaa-‘ika yarjuuna Rahmatallaah. Wallaahu
Gafuurur-Rahiim.
|
Lesson
‘Allaziina haajaruu – (those who
emigrated) it signifies toward those persons who left their native land, which
was dearest and beloved thing for each living creature, for the cause of
religion. They left the town of infidelity and went to the town of Belief. The
Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and
His Companions (Sahaabah) (may God be pleased with them) emigrated
from Makkah to Madina.
Jaa-haduu – (who strove) this word has
come out from the word Ji-haad, which means strong endeavor and
hard struggle. All types of tortures and difficulties are included in it and
the greatest difficulty is warfare and slayer.
Fii Sabiilillaahi – (in the Way of Allah) it has
been proved applying the restriction with Emigration and Strive that the
Muslims do not emigrate or strive for their any personal want or gain. They
bear all kinds of calamities and difficulties only for getting pleasure of God
Almighty.
Yarjuuna – (they have hope) purpose of
this word is to produce happy news to those Believers who had killed an Infidel
unknowingly during the sacred month.
Those Companions (may God be pleased with them) who had killed
an Infidel unknowingly during the sacred month, had known that they had not
committed any sin, but they were some thoughtful in this matter because they
did not know about reward of this strife while they wished the future reward of
this virtue. On this occasion this verse was revealed that “Those who believe,
and those who emigrate (to escape the persecution) and strive in the Way of
Allah”, without any doubt “they are hopeful of Allah’s Mercy” and they are
rightful of the reward and remuneration. God Almighty is Forgiving mistakes of
His servants and He is Merciful upon them. He will never forfeit the rights of
His worshiper slaves.
It also appears from this verse that the Infidels and Idolaters
will try their best to return the Muslims from their religion, they will
torture them, they will expel them from their native land, they will fight with
them, but the Muslims should not be discouraged, they should remain established
on their Belief. If the Infidels expel the Muslims from their country, fight
with them, then the Muslims should remain steady and fight in the encounter
strongly.
In short only those persons deserve the Mercy, Kindness and
Forgiveness of Allah Almighty who Believed. If they faced the calamities, they
left even their birth-place. If yet the enemies of the religion did not keep
them remain in peace then they agreed to strive but did not became careless
from the religion.
LESSON # 253 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Strong Drink And Games Of Chance
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –219a of 286, Section – 27 (Part -
2)
They question thee about strong drink and games of chance.
|
Wa yas-‘aluunaka ‘anil-khamri wal-maysir.
|
Lesson
‘An – (about) about the Divine
Order, lawful and unlawful
‘Al-khamri – (strong drink) khamr means
to cover any thing. The veil is named as khumaar because it
covers the women’s head. The Wine has been called as Khamr too
because it conceals the human sense and the senses of the mankind does not
remain in order. Besides the grapes and dates every that thing is called khamr which
provides intoxication.
‘Al-maysir – ((gambling) this word
has also vast meanings and it covers all kinds of the games of chance whether
those have any shape or name.
Before Islam the strong drink and games of chance had common
tradition in the Arab. Every person, little or elder, used to drink wine so
more that it was like a medicine for children (Ghutti), and the gambling
had uncountable sorts. As a result of these both things, the disorder in sexual
relationship, financial difficulties, and plague of tyranny and exorbitance had
been spread, but there was none to think about this condition. The people had
sold their wisdom in exchange to these things.
It has been stated about some Companions (may God be pleased
with them) that they asked personally the Messenger of God Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) the order about strong drink and
games of chance because these things ruin the sense and wealth. It was
necessary to grow the disgust in the Companions (may God be pleased with them)
about these impure and addled things due to the company and teachings of the
Prophet of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
They had understood that the things like wine and gambling are impediment in
the way of getting those goodness and virtues which are commanded in Islam,
because the purpose of these orders is to be produced the purity, goodness and
foresightedness in our hearts. Contrary to it the sense is lost due to
the strong drink and games of chance, the person becomes habitual to abuse
others, tendency is produced toward the filth and the temperament inclines to
fornication.
The Israelite Prophets (peace be upon them) also commanded their
followers that strong drink and games of chance were unlawful, but their
followers could not refrain despite the prohibition. At last the Islam has
narrated clearly their badness that today the drunkard and gambler are seen
with hatred sight as much that perhaps none other evil-doer and sinner is
seen in the Muslim community.
It is the first verse in which strong drinking has been
forbidden. From here the recitation about unlawful use of the wine and games of
chance begins.
LESSON # 254 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Command About Liquor And Gambling
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –219b of 286, Section – 27 (Part -
2)
Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the
sin of them is greater than their usefulness.
|
Qul fiihi-maaa ‘ismun- kabiirunw-wa
manaafi-‘u lin-naas: wa ‘ismu-humaaa ‘akbaru
min-naf- ‘ihi-maa.
|
Lesson
Replying to the question of the Companions (Sahaaba)
(may God be pleased with them), “What is the order about strong drink and
games of chance” Allah Almighty commanded clearly that the both are sin.
He also instructed that there are some utilities as well as the sins for the
people, but their sins are greater than their utilities. So it is the demand of
wisdom and intelligence that the both things are required to be left
immediately.
‘Ismun – (sin) sin is the deed which
produces hindrance in the path of goodness. Use of this word has told that the
liquor and gambling prevent the human beings from the goodness. Quarrels,
shamelessness and sins increase in that nation and community where use of the
liquor is common. When a person drinks strong, he loses his senses, entangles
in evil-doing and fornication, becomes indolent from his duties, if the power
does not remain to complete his state of intoxication, then he tries to get it
through unlawful and unfair means. Then he commits also the crimes of theft,
cheating, robbing, fraud, murder, plundering and destruction.
The games of chance destroy the financial condition of the
mankind. It inclines him towards the loot, theft, robbing, cheating and
fearlessness. Its first effects are luxury; joviality and extravagance, which
besiege a gambler. It has many forms, like bets on race –course, lotteries and
gambling.
It is possible that some diseases may be cured with the liquor.
Many persons drink strong due to this pretence, but while some other medicine
is available then how the liquor can be lawful. It is correct that the liquor
is joyous, but how much long? And how much trouble is faced after the
intoxication tenure? The liquor causes to forget the grief but for how much
moments? And its result is ruin of the wealth, badness of the manners, physical
diseases and infamy in the people and God Almighty.
The same condition is of the games of chance. Accidental victory
is possible but there is no guarantee of defeat and this freely won money has
never remained with any person. We have never seen any gambler to be rich till
today. If they earn without price, they spend it lavishly and unlawfully.
LESSON # 255 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Standard Of Financial Sacrifices
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –219c of 286, Section – 27 (Part -
2)
And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is
superfluous.
|
Wa yas- ‘aluunaka maa-zaa yunfiquun.
Qulil- ‘afw.
|
Lesson
‘Al- ‘afw - (which is superfluous,
surplus) more than is needed. It means, “Spend that which is remainder, residue
and savings after your lawful and necessary requisites”.
God Almighty has commanded the best principle to establish the
human society on financially strong foundations in this verse. Many nations
have tried to get this purpose but in vain, which can be gained only after
acting upon this rule. That is to say; the system in which every body may earn
for his daily food. The nation may get rid of reproach of the poorness and
unemployment, may escape from starving. Due to poverty nobody may be compelled
for suicide, prostitution, denial of conduct and humanity decay.
To acquire this purpose Allah Almighty has given this rule that
every person should earn legally and lawfully, meet his needs out of it and
spend on the needy persons his superfluous after lawful necessities.
The remedy of the entire badness exists in this order, which is
being faced by the human society at this time, for example we see that value of
the human labor has lessen now a day. Complete remuneration is not being paid
in exchange the physical and mental endeavors. The capital has taken place of
the human labor. So the society has been distributed in to two different
groups. One group is the richest who is very few in numbers and the other is
very poor which a lot in numbers is. On one side there is luxury, idleness and
power of influence, while on the other side there is poorness, hard labor and
helplessness. The rich persons are filling their pockets with the blood of the
poor persons and the poor are being trampled under their feet. Uneasiness and
despair has grown in the public due to this system.
The western nations thought many solutions for it but could not
found. The one and the best solution of it is that, which has been proposed by
the Holy Qur’an. That is to say; every rich person should keep with him only to
fulfill his lawful necessities and the remaining should be distributed in to
the deserving persons.
It is revealed that neither the money will be collected in a few
hands due to acting upon this command, nor poverty will increase. Moreover the
person, who works hard, will never die of starving. This is the method of
correction of the financial ruins and poverty which is held with none.
LESSON # 256 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Invitation Of Meditation
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –219d & 220a of 286, Section –
27 (Part - 2)
Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His) revelations, that haply
ye reflect- Upon the world and the Hereafter.
|
Kazaalika yubayyi-nullaahu lakumul- ‘aayaati
la- ‘allakum tatafakkaruun. Fiddunyaa wal- ‘Aakhi-rah.
|
Lesson
We have read in the previous lesson that Allah Almighty has
taught us the straight and clear ways, which after assuming; we can make the
form of the world better and strong. We can annihilate the anti-human things
like poverty, adversity, starving, restlessness and despair. We can finish the
poverty of the poor. If it can be done so, then the time of strikes, riot and
rebellion, and quarrels cannot come. Everybody will be able to get employment
according to his spirit and capability after working hard. Business and
industry will be developing elegantly.
The orders of God Almighty are in front of us. Delay is only
from our side that we should start the work with complete consideration. There
are many other benefits in addition to the worldly advantages, which are called
“the advantages for the Hereafter”. To understand them depends upon
consideration. However being in a clear form of these orders in the mankind
needs special attention of the person and he should know its advantages with
care. Till now the benefits of these commands have been revealed with the
experience, and this thing is surely helpful for consideration.
Which orders have been revealed by the God Almighty for our
betterment and guidance, “Whether those are for the purpose that we should not
draw our attention upon them? Should we behave them like unlawful negligence
and carelessness? Should we mock at them? Not at all; the Orders of Allah
Almighty are Guarantor of human welfare and wellbeing, bring prosperity and
comfort in the world, become cause of reward and victory on the Day of
Resurrection, the human beings will fell in the well of darkness due to
remaining ignorant from them. And he will get Light due to adopting them.
How the life should be passed in the world? How the provision
should be arranged for Hereafter? This entire has been mentioned in these
Orders. The person can enjoy the real human life only after understanding and
acting upon them. God Almighty invites us again and again to meditate in His
Speech (the Holy Qur’an), and claims that due to acting upon the commands of
God Almighty your Doomsday will be fit as well as your this world will also be
arranged.
LESSON # 257 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Improving The Orphans’ Lot
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse – 220b of 286, Section – 27 (Part
- 2)
And they question thee concerning orphans. Say: To improve
their lot is best.
|
Wa yas- ‘aluunaka ‘anil-yataamaa. Qul
‘islaahul-lahum Khayr.
|
Lesson
‘Al-yataamaa – (the orphans) it is plural
of Yatiim which means the orphan, (the boy or girl whose
father or mother or both have expired). After the death of child’s father the
orphan-hood becomes more mercy-able for him/her.
‘Islaahun – (to improve the lot) each type of physical,
financial and moral arrangement comes in it. Here it concerns particularly with
the financial improvement of the orphans.
This verse was revealed as reply to the question of those
companions’ (Sahaaba) (may Allah be pleased with them), to whom the
responsibility of orphans was given to bring them up. Some people did not use
to care in the property of the orphans. Upon that occasion this verse was
revealed, “Wa laa taqrabuu maa-lal yatiimi
illaa billatii hiya ‘ahsan” (Don’t go near the
property of orphans except for their betterment). Due to this verse, those
persons who were guardians of the orphans, frightened and separated totally
their expenses. Now there was another problem due to separating the expenses,
that, which thing was prepared for the orphans, if some of it remained in
balance that was spoiled. In this care there was being some loss of the
orphans. So they raised doubts about it in the court of the Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) that “which system
will be better for the expenses of the orphans”? Should their expenses be kept
totally separate or be included in our calculation/account?
It has been replied in this verse that actual purpose is “to
improve their lot” manage at your own as it may be possible, intention and will
should be only to improve their lot and do better for the orphans, wishing the
expenses are separated or included.
Number of children like this is in sufficient quantity in the
society who has been deprived from the kindness of their parents during
child-hood. Strength of the orphans increases very much during the time of
warfare. They do not have ability to get sound advantages properly out of their
goods, wealth and property. It is very necessary to look after them; otherwise
it is much possible that they will go astray or be damaged. The people who take
their responsibility for looking after and training, they should use their
wealth and property with great care and honesty.
Now a days fostering the orphans and execution of the orphanage
has become a regular pas-time business. Bosses of some institutes use the
orphans as tool for their unlawful aims. They disgrace economically, socially
and morally very much. Strict threat is for like these persons.
The Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him) has forced much for training and looking after the orphans and
declared abundant reward and remuneration for it.
LESSON # 258 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Instructions Concerning Orphans
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse – 220c of 286, Section – 27 (Part
- 2)
And if ye mingle your affairs with theirs, then (they are)
your brothers. And Allah knoweth him who spoileth from him who improveth. And
had Allah willed He would have overburdened you. Surely Allah is Mighty,
Wise.
|
Wa ‘in- tukhaalituu-hum fa-
‘ikhwaanukum. Wal-laahu ya’- lamul-mufsida mi- nal-
muslih. Wa law shaaa- ‘al-laahu la- ‘a’ –natakum.
‘Innal-laaha ‘Aziizun Hakiim.
|
Lesson
We have recited the question of the Companions (Sahaabah)
(may Allah be pleased with them) concerning orphans. In reply Allah Almighty
commanded with complete detail that improving the lot of orphans is best in
reward and remuneration. Their position is like your brothers. Then formality
with them is of what sort? The purpose is to improve the lot and correction of
the orphans’ wealth and property, so one should do as he seems better. If any
person thinks that there is some more advantage in separating their accounts,
then he should do so. But if he considers that the orphan will remain in gain
due to mutual business, then nothing is wrong also with it. After all, they are
your religious brothers.
The orphans are considered as extremely despised and humiliated
in the old cultures and besides this several present nations, but Islam has
told by saying them ‘ikh-waanukum (your brothers) that there is no
difference between you and them being a mankind. They should be dear to you as
your own brothers are dear to you. They have the right to improve themselves.
None should stand in their way. Moreover they should be helped to achieve their
goals as one brother helps the other. So you should keep in view their
correction and betterment in each condition, and for it you can adopt any
method which you like. God Almighty knows the secrets of everybody’s heart and
understands that who spoils and who improves.
After it God Almighty also commanded that if Allah Almighty
wished, a strict order might be given too, which you had to do, because He is
Mighty, Wise. But He did not do so because He understands the advisability of
each order. He doesn’t order which may be difficult and heavy.
LESSON # 259 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
To Wed The Idolatresses
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse – 221a of 286, Section – 27 (Part
- 2)
Wed not idolatresses till they believe.
|
Wa laa tankihul-mushri-kaati hattaa
yu’-minn.
|
Lesson
‘Al-mushri-kaati – (the idolatresses) this word
has been derived from shirk which means ascribing plurality to
Allah Almighty, that is to say the woman who includes any other person or thing
in the virtues of G0d Almighty. This word has been used in its vast and common
meanings. Every infidel woman is included in this order. It is not necessary
that she should be only idolatress. To wed any non-Muslim woman is unlawful
according to the theologies of spiritual guides (Imam) Maalik and Shaaf-‘aii,
but it is unlawful to wed each non-Muslim woman near to the scholars of Hanfii theology
in accord with common rule, but it is lawful to marry any woman from Jews or
Christians (because they belong to the heavenly religions). Its permission
exists formally in the Divine law of the religion.
God Almighty has forbidden the Muslims to marry
the idolatresses in this verse. Further explanation of this order is as
under:-
1. To wed any disciple of a worshipper of fire (woman of the sect
of Magi), Sikh and Hindu women is not right.
2. It is lawful to marry any woman from Jews or Christians
(because they belong to the heavenly religions) but not better. Hadrat
Umar (may Allah be pleased upon him) has disliked it. Instigation and
stress exists also in the Sayings of the Messenger of God Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) to marry any religious woman only.
3. The woman who seems as she belongs to the heavenly religion from
her style, but if it is known through investigation afterwards that her Faith
is not of the people who belong to the heavenly religions, then it is not just
to wed her too.
In short it is not lawful to marry any that woman who is not
Believer. Islam has not banned in the chain of marriage with any race, colour
or caste etc, but restricted for the Believer and correct Faith only. The basic
reason of it is that the relationship of husband and wife is perfect love and
friendship. Deep relation is necessary between both of them. It is compulsory
for the accomplishment of husband and wife successfully for life that the wife
should not be denier of the universal laws of her husband namely Oneness of God
and Belief in the last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him). If this relation doesn’t exist between them then it is quite impossible
to pass their lives successfully in each aspect, and the bigger badness than it
affects the education, religion and future of their children. Their father
pulls them toward himself and the mother toward herself. The result is clear.
The husband will decide the matters of his domestic life in the
light of this faith. The wife will think according to her own faith. The
quarrel and vigorous contradiction will remain always between them. It will
affect badly their children and their future will ruin. So it is ordered that
‘Wed not idolatresses till they believe” to escape yourselves from the results
of too much destruction. This restriction also exists in the Jews and the
Christians religiously. However it is another thing if they don’t act upon it.
LESSON # 260 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Status Of A Muslim Bondwoman
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse – 221b of 286, Section – 27 (Part
- 2)
And lo! A believing bondwoman is better than an idolatress
though she please
you;
|
Wa la-‘amatum-mu’-minatun
khayrum-mim-mushrikatinw-wa law ‘a’-jabat-kum.
|
Lesson
In the first part of this verse it has been told that marriage
with any idolatress woman is unlawful. Now Allah Almighty commands that if any
idolatress woman has all the beauties and qualities, apparently she has each
type of attraction, but while she has not the light of belief then she would
not have any allurement for the Muslim. Comparatively if any Muslim woman
doesn’t have blessings like freedom, she is better to be wed a Muslim man.
There may be some reasons to like any idolatress or non-Muslim
woman, for instance she may be rich, she may have a lot of wealth and property,
she may be beautiful and elegant, she may be well educated, she may belong to a
higher family/dynasty, she may be unraveled, she may be excellent and worthy,
she may have all qualities which should be in a complete woman, but all these
characteristics of an idolatress woman are valueless in front of a Believer
woman still the basic principles of the life of this idolatress woman are
wrong.
Converse to her, many reasons may be found to dislike
a believing bondwoman. For example she may be ugly, poor or illiterate and
maidservant/female slave. But despite all these things she is superior to the
idolatress near Allah Almighty due to her belief. So it has been commanded to
prefer this type of woman for wedding.
The life of husband becomes difficult automatically if he weds
any idolatress woman. Difference of opinion and dispute in each matter,
contention in domestic affairs, difference of opinion in the matter of
children’s education and civilization, this type of strife affects badly not
only upon the husband but there is risk to affect also upon the children. The
children don’t find the straight path in front of them. The father teaches them
according to his religion whereas the mother advises them some other thing.
However if any Muslim bondwoman is wedded then these types of
difficulties and entanglements will not be faced. Because the children will
remain anyhow Muslims, and being a Muslim is better than infidelity and
ascribing plurality to Allah Almighty, wishing they are children of a
bondwoman. Now a day still the reproach of slavery has been finished from the
world due to remedies of Islam. There is no slave male or female now. So this
verse strengthens only the restriction which has come in the first part of the
verse about marriage with any idolatress and infidel woman.
When this verse revealed, at that time the slaves and bondwomen
were present. At the same time it was admonished that there were some social
harms also to wed any Muslim bondwoman. But those are less than the badness and
intricacies which grow due to wedding a non-Muslim life partner (woman). Today
also we can understand from it that Islamic thought is the best to produce
married relationships and connections. It should be kept in mind about the
matter of bondwomen that their children will be slaves till the time they are
not the children of the master of bondwoman. The children of free woman will
remain independent, desiring their father is from any kind, and it is final
that now a day bondwomen and slaves are not held.
LESSON # 261 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Marriage With Idolater
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse – 221c of 286, Section – 27 (Part
- 2)
whoso of you becometh a renegade and dieth in his disbelief:
such are they whose works have fallen both in the world and the Hereafter.
And such are rightful owners of the Fire, they will abide therein forever.
|
Wa laa tunkihul-mushrikiina hattaa

‘ilal-Jannati wal-mag-firati bi-‘iznih. Wa
yu-bayyinu ‘aayaatihii lin-naasi la-‘allahum
yatazakkaruun.
|
Lesson
laa tunkihu – don’t marry (your
daughters with idolaters), here Muslim men are being addressed that “don’t give
your daughters in marriage to idolaters”. This order is not being delivered
direct to the women that ‘do not wed idolaters’. Reason is clear that marriage
of the girl/woman is arranged always through her father or patron/guardian.
‘ilan-Naar – towards the Fire, that is to say they call towards the faiths
and acts, end of which is Hell.
‘ilal-Jannati wal-mag-firati - unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness, namely God Almighty
induces towards Belief and Islam, and Admonishes to adopt the way of life which
leads to the Paradise and forgiveness.
bi-‘iznih - by His Grace, ‘izn means
power, intention and sanction.
It was commanded to the Muslims in the first part of the verse,
“Wed not idolatresses till they believe” though you like them very much. Now it
is being ordered in this part, “Give not your daughters in marriage to
idolaters till they believe”. Scholars have explained that if the husband has
rejected Islam then his wife will not remain any more his life partner. Their
marriage which was till now lawful will unlock automatically immediately. And
this woman can wed any Muslim after completion her Iddat. It has
also been explained that if the husband and wife (both) were already Infidel
and now the wife has become Believer then there is no form of remaining wedlock
except that the husband also embraces Islam.
