Introduction of Chapter “Banning” - (66)

 

Introduction of Chapter “Banning” - (66) (L-3288)

In order, this is sixty-sixth Chapter of Holy Qur’an. It contains two Sections. It was revealed in Madinah. In the previous Chapter “Divorce”, the husbands were instructed that they should treat their wives softly and humanely. Even after divorcing; they should not try to get rid of them like the wild, but during the waiting period they should be a security for fulfilling their requirements, permit them to live at their houses and do not molest them in any matter.

In this Chapter, it has been described to the women: You must not try to compel and harass your husband to fulfill your unnecessary desires (being courageous due to his soft and good behavior). The men should not regard their wives so much that they begin to do such works which are contrary to religious instructions. For dwelling peacefully, there is a guidance for Muslim men and women in the ordinary occurrences happened at the home of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Such matters and their solutions were explained which might produce troubles and appear in a dangerous form. It happened that some chaste wives of the Messenger dared to demand some exceptionable things, and for pleasing them he made lawful things unlawful for himself; so that the displeasure may not spread in the environment of the house. There was a risk in this matter that in future the wives will compel their husbands to suffer for fulfilling their unnecessary wishes by exemplifying the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and his wives (May Allaah be pleased with them). So this door was closed permanently.

Therefore, it was commanded: O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): Don’t care so much of the will of your wives that you make the lawful thing unlawful for yourself. In fact many depravities grow due to it that every individual is careless of own duties but considers that fulfilling his or her requirements is responsibility of others. The son considers that it is duty of his parents that they should bring him up and treat him with kindness, but he does not think that he himself also should perform his duties and let others do their duties. If all mankind will correct themselves instead of having hopes from others, then all works of every person of the world will be correct. Usually human beings blame others that they quarrel, whereas everyone must think that “Is he performing his duty according to Religious Law or otherwise?”

The main advice in this Chapter is “Everyone must perform one’s duty properly instead of thinking that others must do their duties for benefiting the one so that the one may enjoy without working”.

Omnipotence of God

 

Omnipotence of God (L-3287)

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ ٱلْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًۢا 12

12.  ‘Allaahul-lazii  khalaqa  Sab-'a  Samaawaatinw-wa  minal-‘arzi  mislahunn.  Yatanaz-zalul-‘Amru  baynahunna  li-ta'-lamuuu  ‘annAllaaha  'alaa  kulli  shay-'in  Qadiir.  Wa  ‘annAllaaha  qad  ‘ahaata  bi-kulli  shay'in  'ilmaa. (Section 2/18)

12. Allah it is Who has created seven heavens, and of the earth the like thereof. The commandment comes down among them slowly, that you may know that Allah is Able to do all things, and that Allah surrounds all things in knowledge.

It is commanded: You must not have any doubt concerning Allaah Almighty, because you have been looking the sky over head. Think for awhile, Who can be its Creator except Him? Understand from it that Allaah is He Who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them (seven). His Command descends among them and He Himself is their Manager. So you may know easily His Divine Power from it that Allaah is over all things Competent and that Allaah has encompassed all things in knowledge. How can one deny Such Knower and the Omnipotent, Who created all heavens and earths and makes arrangements for their running properly?

As it is commanded that quantity of the heavens and the earths is equal, it can be aimed that every heaven is also an earth with regard to its inhabitants. There is an indication in it that every heaven has its population and the same heaven is an earth also for that population, whereas other heavens are only heavens for them. It appeared that as every heaven is a heaven, it is an earth too. Therefore the quantity of the both is equal.

It is the end of the Chapter 65 “Divorce”. After describing about some commandments of the rights of the women, it is commanded: The mankind should dwell in the world according to the Rules prescribed by Allaah Almighty, fulfill the rights of every individual; considering that He has been watching everything. Fear His Doom; by taking warning from the consequences of the ancient deniers that how they were punished due to disobedience of Allaah Almighty! At the end, it is said: Knowledge and Divine Power of Allaah Almighty is apparent from the creation and management of the heavens and the earth.

The Qur’an and the Messenger

 

The Qur’an and the Messenger (L-3286)

قَدْ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًا 10b  رَّسُولًا يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ مُبَيِّنَٰتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَٰلِحًا يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا قَدْ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۥ رِزْقًا 11

10b.  Qad  ‘anzalAllaahu  ‘ilaykum  Zikraa. 11.  Rasuulany-yatluu  'alaykum  ‘AayaaTillaahi  mubayyi-naatil-liyukhri-jal-laziina  ‘aamanuu  wa  'amilus-saalihaati  minaz-zulumaati  ‘ilan-Nuur.  Wa  many-yu'-mim- Billaahi  wa  ya'-mal  saalihany-yud-khilhu  Jannaatin  tajrii  min  tahtihal-‘anhaaru  khaalidiina  fiihaaa   ‘abadaa.  Qad  ‘ahsanAllaahu  lahuu  rizqaa.

10b.  Now Allah has sent down unto you a reminder, 11. A messenger reciting unto you the revelations of Allah made plain, that He may bring forth those who believe and do good works from darkness unto light. And whosoever believes in Allah and does right, He will bring him into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to abide for ever. Allah has made good provision for him.

It is commanded: You will not have any difficulty in knowing the Commands of Allaah Almighty. We have sent for you a Collection of Guidance by means of Our Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), which is this Qur’an. Now he recites the verses of Allaah Almighty before you. These verses are full of clear and open advices. The aim of sending these verses through the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is that whosoever from you will believe in Allaah Almighty after listening to them, will consider that only He is God (Worshipped) and will grip up his loins to do righteous works, Allaah Almighty will bring him out from the darkness of doubts into the Light of Belief and Guidance. In that Light, he will come to know clearly that what should he do and what should he not do.

Hear the reward of belief and doing righteousness now: Whoever will believe in Allaah and will do righteousness – in the life after death, Allaah Almighty will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow for abiding therein forever without any fear. Such people are successful because Allaah Almighty will have perfected for them a provision.

The disobedient will be seized

 

The disobedient will be seized (L-3285)

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِۦ فَحَاسَبْنَٰهَا حِسَابًا شَدِيدًا وَعَذَّبْنَٰهَا عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا 8  فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا 9  أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ يَٰٓأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ 10a

8.  Wa  ka-‘ayyim-min  qaryatin  'atat  'an  ‘Amri Rabbihaa  wa  Rusulihii  fa-haasab-Naahaa  hisaaban  shadiidanw-wa  'azzab-Naahaa  'Azaaban-nukraa. 9.  Fazaaqat  wabaala  ‘amrihaa  wa  kaana  'Aaqibatu  ‘amrihaa  khusraa. 10a.  ‘A-'addAllaahu  lahum  'Azaaban  shadiidan  fattaqUllaaha  yaaa-‘ulil-‘albaabil-laziina  ‘aammanuu.

8. And how many a community revolted against the ordinance of its Lord and His messengers, and We called it to a stern account and punished it with dire punishment, 9. So that it tasted the ill-effects of its conduct, and the consequence of its conduct was loss. 10a. Allah has prepared for them stern punishment; so keep your duty to Allah, O men of understanding! O you who believe!

Stress is being laid on abiding by the Commandments (according to the Religious Laws of Islam), particularly to follow the instructions concerning your behaviour with the women.

It is commanded: During old times, many were such Townships, the people of which ignored the Commands of Allaah Almighty, whereas they had been prospering under His care because He was their Lord. It was the result of their ungratefulness that Allaah Almighty called them to a stern account. When their sins were proved; then He punished them even in this world with dire punishment. And they were ruined very badly. Moreover, the torment of the Doomsday is also ready for them. Their worldly punishment was so much severe that no one would have seen or heard. For every kind of wrongdoers was a separate punishment. They found bad result of God’s disobedience, so they had to suffer entire loss.  After that, they will have to experience the Doom of the Day of Resurrection, which will be more severe than the punishment of this world.

O you people of understanding who have believed! Fear Allaah Almighty every time after hearing the circumstances of disobedient people, so that lest you err, due to which the disaster of Allaah Almighty come upon you. We have sent this Qur’an for your guidance.

Solved problem (L-3284)

فَإِنْ أَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ,  وَأْتَمِرُوا۟ بَيْنَكُم بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَإِن تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهُۥٓ أُخْرَىٰ 6b  لِيُنفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِّن سَعَتِهِۦ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُۥ فَلْيُنفِقْ مِمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا مَآ ءَاتَىٰهَا سَيَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا 7

6b.  Fa-‘in  ‘arza'-na  lakum  fa-‘aatuu-hunna  ‘ujuura-hunn.   Wa'-tamiruu  bayna-kum  bi-ma'-ruuf.  Wa  ‘in-  ta-'aasartum  fasaturzi-'u  lahuuu  ‘ukhraa. 7.  Liyunfiq  zuu-sa-'atim-min  sa-'atih.  Wa  man  qudira  'alayhi  rizquhuu  fal-yunfiq  mimmaaa  ‘aataahUllaah.  Laa  yukallifUllaahu  nafsan  ‘illaa  maaa  ‘aataahaa.  Sa-yaj-'alUllaahu  ba'-da 'usriny-yusraa. (Section 1/17)

6b.  Then, if they give suck for you, give them their due payment and consult together in kindness; but if you make difficulties for one another, then let some other woman give suck for him (the father of the child). 7. Let him who has abundance spend of his abundance, and he whose provision is measured, let him spend of that which Allah has given him. Allah asks naught of any soul save that which He has given it. Allah will vouchsafe, after hardship, ease.

It is commanded: When the baby is born from the divorced woman, her term has been completed. Now if she breastfeeds for you, then you must give her payment of giving suck as you pay others for this purpose. And you must confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; instead of thinking about your personal benefit. But if you are in discord, the woman desires to compel you for accepting her conditions whereas you desire to compel her to accept your conditions, then let her go in such circumstances and make arrangement of any other woman who may give suck to your infant. Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth with open heart. However that whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allaah has given him. Allaah Almighty does not charge a soul except according to what He has given it. He will bring about ease after hardship.
