Misuse of oaths (L-291)
|
وَلا
تَجعَلُوا اللَّهَ عُرضَةً لِأَيمانِكُم أَن تَبَرّوا وَتَتَّقوا وَتُصلِحوا
بَينَ النّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ224. |

224. Wa laa taj-‘alUllaaha ‘urzatal-li-‘ay-maanikum
‘an-tabarruu wa tattaquu wa tus-lihuu
bay-nan-naas. WAllaahu Samii-‘un ‘Aliim. |

224. And do not allow your oaths in God's name to hinder
you from virtue, and righteousness, and making peace between people. God is
Listener and Knower. |
Whenever the people used to displease from any other, they used to make God, by their oaths that they would neither go unto him nor speak with him and nor try to make a truce between them with whom he has quarreled, even that; if the displeasure had been among the close relatives, and then these oaths used to become pretence for leaving many good deeds. At the very time if anybody used to say, “Why did you leave to do these acts?” they used to feign that they had made the oath for this action.
Even, it was worse to leave the good deeds also, what it had become bad that using the name of God, the Great, they used to grow the situation of escaping from the good deeds. This verse is signifying towards such matter and it is being commanded that “don’t do so in future and if anybody has sworn already then it is sufficient to break that oath and expiate. The scholars have disliked often swearing in abundance also and without any necessity, because, due to this reason; the name of God is devalued, and it is also not good to call the name of God for the bad deeds.
