Marry those who are solitary

‘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)

وَأَنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْأَيَٰمَىٰ مِنكُمْ وَٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَآئِكُمْ إِن يَكُونُوا۟ فُقَرَآءَ يُغْنِهِمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ 32

32.  And marry such of you as are solitary and the pious of your slaves and maid-servants. If they be poor, Allah will enrich them of His Bounty. And Allah is of Ample Means, Aware.

32.  Wa  ‘ankihul-‘ayaamaa  minkum  was-saalihiina  min  ‘ibaadikum  wa  ‘imaaa-‘ikum.  ‘Iny-yakuunuu  fuqaraaa-‘a  yug-nihimUllaahu  min-  FazliH.  Wallaahu  Waasi-‘un  ‘Aliim.

Commentary

‘Ayaamaa – (solitary, unmarried), this word is plural of ‘ayyimun, which means – that man or woman who is unmarried or after marriage, he/she has become a widower/a widow. For both (masculine and feminine) the same one word has been used.

A way of keeping the society safe from immodesty and indecency has been described in this verse and it has been advised to act upon this commandment. It is commanded: Sexual desire is a natural thing. But the mankind is not free in fulfilling this desire like other animals. Due to having sound mind, they have to abide by a prescribed rule in this matter. They have to live altogether mutually and be saved from the matters of immodesty and indecency. Their works cannot be correct without it. Therefore they should build houses, dwell into them and arrange to educate their children correctly. Common principle for it is that when healthy children reach the age of marriage after proper training in Islamic Houses and Society then they should be married, so that they may bring their legitimate children into being and be helpful in correcting the state of civilization. Bachelor and virgin, widower and widow – all are equal in it. No one should think about wealth and property in the case of marrying, but should care concerning health and manners. None can remain poor in Islamic society. Mutual aid and cooperation with one another in good works are compulsory for this purpose. And Allaah Almighty bestows prosperity and hilarity to every individual in such society. And His Established Orders are the result of His correct knowledge.

31d.  And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah all together, O Believers, in order that ye may succeed.

31d.  Wa  laa  yaz-ribna  bi-‘arjulihinna  liyu’-lama  maa  yukhfiina  min  ziinatihinn.  Wa  tuubuuu  ‘ilAllaahi  jamii-‘an  ‘ayyuhal-  Mu’-minuuna  la-‘allakum  tuflihuun.

Commentary

More instructions have been given to the women that they should not stamp their feet with pressure in order that chinking of the ornament is heard by the people and covered beauty is unveiled by its sound and the people roaming around, turn their attention to her. This is that pure and chaste life, unto which Holy Qur’an desires to direct us.

After that, it has been commanded to the Believers that many thoughts and doubts come in the mind of mankind. One should try that no chance of growing evil thoughts is provided to the brain. After caring so much, still there is no remedy without it that one should pay attention always unto Allaah Almighty.

Therefore, it is being commanded to the Believers: If you desire success in the Religion and the world, then you should give ear every time towards Allaah Almighty. These are the meanings of “Repentance” that one should slight from false thoughts and imaginations. If one has erred by chance in any matter, then he/she should repent without delay and address Allaah Almighty  for forgiveness of own sins.

There is no doubt in it that if the Commandments mentioned in Holy Qur’an are obeyed, then such society can be produced in the world, in which there would be no mutual quarrels, disputes, stupidity, blood-shed, lewdness or disturbance etc. The Muslims should try this wholeheartedly.

Commentary

‘Attaabi-‘iina – (male attendants, followers), this word is plural of taabi’. Here, the aim from the word taabi-‘iina is those poor people who follow the prosperous people only for arrangement of their food and drinkables.

‘Irbati – (want), here it aims “sexual desire”. The aim from Gayra  ‘ulil-‘irbati is “those who do not think concerning women but mind their own business”.  

‘Awraati – (those parts of the body, which are concealable), this world is plural of ‘awrat, which means “secret matters of the women”. 

Nisaaa’ – (here it aims “those chaste women who dwell close every time”).

Besides those close relatives, concerning whom, it was described in the previous verse, the women can reveal their adornment also before - chaste women who remain every time with them, their slaves, their male attendants who do not have sexual desire and the children who do not know nakedness of the women.

It is found here that revealing the things of own adornment before loose character women is unlawful. Concealing is not necessary before male attendants who mind their own business, who do not see with evil-sight or who do not have sexual desire. Coming before grown-up boys unhesitatingly is not right. They should not reveal their natural, bodily beauties and adornments before loose character and immodest women who wander out unhesitatingly. These are etiquettes of dwelling at home for women which are being taught to them. It is education of modesty and shame which Holy Qur’an teaches.

Commentary

The aim from Ziinat is natural beauty of women’s body or any part of their body and that beauty which is gotten by wearing ornaments and garments etc. In the beginning, believing men and women were instructed that they should lower their gaze. And it was commanded to them clearly that they should not open their body parts which are required to be kept covered. Moreover, the women were directed that except face, hands and feet, they should not expose their decoration and any part of their body or its adornment before the common people save those men who have been described in this verse. The women have to keep their faces, hands, feet and ornaments opened under the orders of necessity. The men should keep their eyes lower, and this commandment for women is in all conditions whether they are at home or outside the house.

It is commanded: It is compulsory for the women that they should keep their veils drawn over their bosoms. In addition, it is commanded concerning common body parts that they should not reveal their forms and adornments before any other, but their husbands, fathers, fathers-in-law, sons, brothers, step sons, brothers’ and sisters’ sons (nephews). Remember it that it is the commandment of that society, in which men and women (both) lower their gaze.
