286, Section – 28 (Part - 2)
Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your

Lesson
Hars – (agricultural land, farm), that piece of land is
called hars where seed is sown and vegetable, grain and vegetation are gotten
as though the wife is the source of producing children and increasing your
breed/race.
Allah Almighty has cleared in this
verse about true position of the wife in connection with wedding relationship.
That is to say, the wife is like a farm for her husband, and as the farmer he keeps
his farm very precious supposing it as his very big wealth, watches and guards
it, earns grain from it, likewise the husband should also consider his wife as
his very great fortune. He should watch and guard her, and get children from
her.
As though it is proved that near
Islam the real purpose of intercourse is only attainment of the children. Even
its other aspects like demand of sensual pleasure have not been ignored too. It
has also been evident that control over this production (birth control) is not
a natural issue, because which stupid farmer would be that who sows the seeds
but doesn't want the crop, uproots the plant before its growth. Then this
matter also enlightens that as the farmer prays for pity rain from God
Almighty, discloses his wish to bud and blossom the crop, like this the husband
should also pray for getting virtuous children from God Almighty.
Allah Almighty Has admonished very
much quoting the example of tilth (farm). Would that the human beings may think
upon this instance and make happy these relations lastly with reliance of their
lives.
‘An-naa shi’-tum – (as you wish), ‘an-naa means ‘where’, it is also used for the meanings of ‘when, just as’.
How the Holy Qur-‘an has advised about this matter pointing it with wisdom that
there is no restriction on the method and time. But it has been forbidden to
destroy one’s strength and race adopting the un-natural method. More detail
will be discussed in the next lesson (last part of this verse).
