Review of Chapter “Banning” (L-3296)
Chapter “TAHRIIM” – (Banning) - 66
In this Chapter, it has been instructed to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): Although the men should adopt good behavior with their wives, even they should keep in mind when they divorce, that their wives must not have any trouble or grief. Even then it is not good to regard them so much that for the sake of them you make the lawful things unlawful for yourselves. If you did so then wives of other people will not let their husbands live in peace. When any husband will ignore fulfilling their desires, they will give reference of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) immediately and compel them.
Therefore, O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): You should avoid unreasonable warm reception of your wives. You must break such oath which you swore for pleasing any wife that “you will not use honey or you will not meet any of your wives meeting with whom is lawful for you according to Religious Law”, and pay its expiation. Do not make unlawful in future, for pleasing any wife, which is lawful for you. So the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) obeyed the Command of Allaah Almighty.
In the same Chapter, it has been instructed to the chaste wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): You must not reap improper advantage from his soft nature and politeness. The Messenger will not fulfill your unlawful demands in future. Repent from molesting him, otherwise if he divorced you, Allaah Almighty; Gabriel (peace be upon him) and all righteous people will support him, and other wives will be provided to him in lieu of you, who will have such qualities which must be in righteous women. Habits of righteous women have been described that whether those are widows or virgins, they are believers, repentant, obedient of their elders and husbands, and they remain engaged in the worship of Allaah Almighty.
After that it has been instructed to Muslim men and women that they should follow the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) step by step. The men are instructed: After making good arrangements for living in the world, it is also your responsibility that you should save the members of your family from the Hell, which cannot be possible without abiding by the Rules and Regulations of the Religion. The disobedient, idolaters and their idols will be fuel of the Hell, and no excuse will be acceptable from them on the Day of Judgement. Muslim men and women must be very careful. Reward of abiding by the Commands of the Religion will be that they will be admitted perpetually in beautiful and green Gardens during the life after death.
Example of the disbelieving women is as the wives of Noah and
Lot (peace be upon them). And the example of believing women is as Asiah,
the wife of Pharaoh and Mary, the mother of Jesus (peace be upon him). We
should understand the Commands mentioned in this Chapter and think: Is the conduct
of today’s freedom-loving women according to these commandments?
