Commandment for wives – (2)

Chapter “’Al-‘Ahzaab” - (The Clans) - 33

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَٰتِ مِنكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا 29b  يَٰنِسَآءَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ مَن يَأْتِ مِنكُنَّ بِفَٰحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ يُضَٰعَفْ لَهَا ٱلْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَيْنِ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًا 30

                                       

29b.  then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good among you an immense reward. 30.  O ye wives of the Prophet! Whosoever of you committeth manifest lewdness, the punishment for her will be doubled, and that is easy for Allah.

29b.  fa-‘innAllaaha  ‘a-‘adda  lil-Muhsinaati  minkunna  ‘ajran  ‘aziimaa. 30.  Yaa-Nisaaa-‘an-Nabiyyi  many-ya’-ti  minkunna  bi-faahishatim-mubayyina-tiny-yu-zaa-‘af  lahal-‘Azaabu  zi’-fayn.  Wa  kaana  zaalika  ‘alAllaahi  yasiiraa.

Commentary

                                                               

It is commanded: O wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): If you desire life of this world and its pomp and show, then you are not able to live at the home of a Prophet. According to custom he will give you some provision and divorce you. However if you adopt Allaah Almighty, His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and the life of the Hereafter, then Allaah Almighty has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward.

After that, it is commanded: You should bear your status in mind. Greater reward is also for them whose rank is higher. But if any of them commits a clear immorality (God forbid), then because influence of that sin will not remain limited only up to her but it will reach her followers too, accordingly her punishment would also be doubled two fold than the common people. It is not difficult for Allaah Almighty to increase the punishment in two fold, because neither anyone’s greater status can affect Him and nor anyone’s lower rank can determine the sinner to deserve any remission in the matter of punishment, as it is obvious from the Commandments mentioned in these verses.

It is in fact a great dignity for a woman to be wife of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) which cannot be bestowed to any other woman of the entire world. Even then wives (May Allah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) are being addressed in such a way as common people are being addressed. Found from it is that really Holy Qur’an is the Word of Allaah Almighty, because particular people also (like wives of the Messenger) are being addressed in the same way as the public, because as mankind all are equal according to law.
