Abstract - Chapter Four
Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’ (Women -4)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of God, the
Beneficent, the Merciful
Lesson
This Chapter of
Holy Qur’an, named ‘An-Nisaaa’ (The Women) was revealed in Madinah. There are 176
verses and 24 Sections in this Surah. Mutual relationship between the Man and the
Woman has been described particularly in this Surah that which rights and duties
they would have to perform for one another, how the relatives must be treated,
how the social evils can be removed, which method would be better to live altogether
and what are the benefits of living as a unit (one community) with one another?
Being a mankind, men and
women, both are equal because soul of both of them is the same. Care especially
for the orphans. Do not marry fatherless girls for your own advantage by losing
them. You can marry two, three, or four common women at a time on the condition
that you should do justice among them and you should not seize the rights of
any woman. When you will be able to understand the rights of women correctly,
then you will become justice and wise in getting the orphans married
yourselves.
After that, law of distributing
the inheritance has been explained in detail. Then punishment to the men and
women upon their unacceptable deeds has been prescribed. Time and method of
penitence has been revealed. Then there is mention about those women; with whom
the marriage is unlawful. During the reign of last Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him), there was a class of slaves
and bondwomen, the method, how to treat them, has been stated.
Then it is commanded: Do
not take forcible possession of others’ property or wealth. However, willingly
business is lawful through trade. Do not kill one another. The people are very
different from one another in their personal physical strength and knowledge.
Friendly relationship can be in such a manner that everybody would understand
the limit of his capabilities and do his job remaining in it. There is much
open difference between male and female. Therefore, they should never compete
with each other. The person, who will work remaining in personal limits, shall get
its fruit and will succeed. The relationship among husband and wife cannot be
at too much variance after deeming to this extent. If either behavior of the
husband is quite correct but the wife begins to molest or opposite to it, then
it becomes very necessary somehow to correct the violent.
Following two important
laws have been described in this chapter. Mankind’s betterment, goodness and
welfare depend on them:
· Any person, who has capability of any work, that
is to say; he/she can perform any particular work in a very good manner, he/she
should be appointed for such work. Likewise, everything should be given to the
rightful. It should not be so, that the deserving person remains deprived of
any particular thing and the unworthy person takes its possession. It is the
key to soundness of the society.
· Obey the commandments of Allah Almighty and His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and the person, who
is much at home in any particular work, follow him/her in that work and act
upon his/her guidance. Find settlement/decision in the Commandments/Sayings
(Holy Qur’an andHadith) of
Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him), in case of difference of the opinions. These Commandments/Sayings (Laws)
are spirit of the management of the government.
Afterwards the way of
deeds regarding the Hypocrites has been discussed that they do not agree to the
decisions of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon him) and have more confidence in other people.
Then people are
prevailed to be prepared for the crusade of religion because it is compulsory
to save the weak Muslims from the tyranny of cruel disbelievers. The behavior
of Hypocrites has also been reproached in it. These people behold nothing but
their own benefit/advantage. To kill any Muslim intentionally is a very severe sin
and its punishment is wrath of Allah Almighty and Fire of the Hell. If anybody
kills a Believer mistakenly, due to error or omission, then expiation should be
paid for it.
The prayers during
journey and in the condition of fear have been explained that if there is
threat of enemy’s assault and the time of prayer has started then how it would
be offered.
After that, belief in a
plurality of Allah Almighty (polytheism) has been mentioned that it is an
unpardonable sin. Remain with the group and use to discuss the matters
regarding introduction of good deeds, methods of correction and mutual
relationships during reciprocally meetings. Keep correct and good faith in
Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). At the end, remaining principles regarding
inheritance have been described.
