What is the difference between "Nissa, Amraat and Azwaj"
-
salam siki. i think the best way to answer your question is to give you a series of examples.
an unmaried daughter would be bint, nisa, and amrat ; wife would be nisa and zawj, some wives are nisa, zawj, and amrat
a married daughter would be bint and nisa, and zawj and amrat
some widows are nisa; other widows are nisa and amratfrom what i read of the quran, there are some wives who are simply zawj, there are other wives who are zawj and amrat.
allah is the truth.

A pair bonded by a certain contract known as Nikah , are given the title as Zoaj, because i consistenly found Zoaj attached with the term Nikah, that gives me a clue that there are pairs made through some other/different kind of bonds, which are not as good as contract of nikah, I am not sure yet as to, are those women known as amrat?

salam siki. i have not see any verse in the quran that says nikah is a contract. for this reason i avoid making such a claim.
a contract is an exchange, performance in exchange for consideration. prostitution is a contract, an exchange of money for services. prostitution is in some jusrisdictions and illegal contract, and a legal contract in other jurisdictions. this is another reason why in civil law, we do not say marriage is a contract, because then it becomes another form of prostitution.
that gives me a clue that there are pairs made through some other/different kind of bonds, which are not as good as contract of nikah, I am not sure yet as to, are those women known as amrat?
while you have posed that question, let me repharase the question.
are there other relationships aside from the nikah?
and how can you take it when you have gone into each other and they have taken from you a strong trust 421
421 makes no mention of nikah, or zawj, or amrat. 421 says going into each other automatically creates a strong mithaq. this means that there is a category of those whom a man has gone into, and not had a nikah, who by their action of going into a woman, create a strong mithaq. i find this consistent with 2232 and 2236, because those verses say the talaq of nisa, not the talaq of zawj, and not the talaq of amrat. this means there are non-zawj, non-amrat nisa to whom exists a mithaq, who may be given a talaq.
i am going to use current english usage terms here to convey the intent of the verses. what the quran is saying, is that a wife, mistress, and girlfriend, are all under the trust of the husband, and in order to end the trust the husband may terminate the trust. if you examine the usage of the quran, you will see, the requirement of obediance is not just imposed on wives, it is imposed on women, which would be consistent with the above understanding.
allah is the one who teaches.

What? A Nikah is indeed a contract! with an exchange of saduqat and verbal consent with rights and obligations for both parties. Whether this is in written form or not the fact is inescapable it is a contract.
Definition of contract (according to Merrium Webster's dictionary http//www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/contract)
1 a a binding agreement between two or more persons or parties ; especially one legally enforceable
b a business arrangement for the supply of goods or services at a fixed price <make parts on contract>
c the act of marriage or an agreement to marrywhile you have posed that question, let me repharase the question.
are there other relationships aside from the nikah?
and how can you take it when you have gone into each other and they have taken from you a strong trust 421
421 makes no mention of nikah, or zawj, or amrat.
No, nikah, zawj, nor amrat are mentioned there. but if you read AnNisa from the beginning and 421 in context, you would understand what is being referred to. We do not read the Quran in isolated sections we read it as a whole.
421 says going into each other automatically creates a strong mithaq.
421
Wakayfa ta/khuthoonahu waqad afda baAAdukum ila baAAdin waakhathna minkum meethaqan ghaleethan
Literal
And how do you take it and some of you to some had revealed and they (F) took from you a strong promise/covenant?Do not confuse the words of the Quran. Notice the word wa/and? First there is no mention of sex. Second sex does not create a strong covenant.
Logic dictates that if sexual relations created a strong covenant there would be no need to make rules against indecencies and sexual transgressions in the Quran. In fact if this absurdity were the case sexual intercourse would be encouraged without limitation.
This, of course, is not the case. Allah is and always has been very firm about where the boundaries are.
this means that there is a category of those whom a man has gone into, and not had a nikah, who by their action of going into a woman, create a strong mithaq.
As I just pointed out, this is incorrect.
i find this consistent with 2232 and 2236, because those verses say the talaq of nisa, not the talaq of zawj, and not the talaq of amrat. this means there are non-zawj, non-amrat nisa to whom exists a mithaq, who may be given a talaq.
This is an illogical reasoning. brickwall

Wrong. The Quran does not support sexual relationships outside of Marriage.
Second, the Quran does not say that only a man can terminate any relationship. Women have the same right.if you examine the usage of the quran, you will see, the requirement of obediance is not just imposed on wives, it is imposed on women, which would be consistent with the above understanding.
Absolute nonsense.
Al Araf's understanding is turning marriage into the only legalized form of slavery. Worse yet, he is stating that women should obey men.
Under this understanding, the man is the woman's illah, for she obey's him and not Allah.
One cannot have two masters. Either a person is obedient to Allah or his creation.
Being obedient to Allah's creation is what shaitan encourages not Allah and certainly not a believer.434 is often misunderstood.
The obedience is obedience to Allah NOT men.
The word rajul and nisa are not indicative of men and women.oathoo biAllahi min Ash-Shaitan Ar-Rajeem

If your going to name yourself after a very prominent Sura in the Quran at least become familiar with that Sura!
This is the reference in the Quran where Allah has defined the process of Marriage and its intention....
It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might (in dwell with her . When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about / zawjaha liyaskuna ilayha falamma taghashshaha hamalat hamlan khafeefan famarrat bihi falamma athqalat.

Grammatically, zawjin with tanwiin-kesra is indefinite and feminine
Quranically, we confirm the gender by reading the preceding ayah.....
O? you who believe it is not lawful for you / la yahillu lakum to inherit women / tarithoo an-nisaa / in dislike and do not become difficult for them that you may go off with a part of what you have given to them except that they come with a clear obscenity and accompany them with recognition then if you dislike them so it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah has made much better in it.
la masculine preposition
yahillu masculine, singular
lakum masculine plural
tarithoo (imperfect, 2nd person, masculine, plural, accusative) You inherit object of the verb = Women? And if you intend to change the place of a wife / zawjin with another wife / zawjin and you have given heaps to one of them so you do not take any thing from that, will you take it with false accusation and with a clear sin?

The quraan does not have a sentence structure different from any other arabic (whether classical or colloquial). Diacritics have nothing to do with sentence structure.
Secondly, presence or absence of the definite article, or the grammaticl function of a word (i3rab) has no bearing on the meaning of a word. Your analysis when correct, is messed up with your absolute ignorance of grammar.The problem is that grammr is not even indispensible for understanding the quraan. Please refrain from grammaticl analysis. -
salam muslimthreadrevealed. unfortunately i have seen your line of reasoning before.
it is the method of teaching of hafiz e quran in the indian subcontinent, to painstakingly insist the student learn every diacritical mark. i saw this going on in indian madrassahs, you can hear the children repeating "alif zabar aaa, be zabar baa.." in the class rooms.
this method of teaching has resulted in generations of indian muslims who feverishly insist the diacritical marks and the lettters on the page are sacrosanct.
however, the reality is, in the time of muhammad arabic was written without diacritical marks. go to mecca and medina, and see the kufic inscriptions, there are no diactritical marks.
as a result, every time i see one of your posts, where you feverishly expound your grammatical expertise, i am dismayed by the effects of the influence of indian madrassahs on quran learning.
you must never forget, that when the quran was spoken to muhammad, and he recited the quran for the scribes to transcribe, and the scribes recited what they had transcribed back to him, there was no issue or teaching of diacritical marks. for this reason, in order to maintain purity of the quran, it is imperative not to ascribe any grammatical function to the diacritical marks, their origin and purpose is a pronounciation guide, and not a grammar device.
therefore, basing your analysis on supposed grammatical meanings of the diacritical marks, no matter which indian person wrote a book on the subject, is misleading and pointless. please try to understand the quran as allah has revealed. words heard by the ear.
allah is the best of those who teach.

Besides I dont use the term 'diacritics', thus I dont have a clue as to what your talking about and neither do you.
Even the Quraish understood the difference between their Arabic and the literary and sentence construct of the Quran......
Al-Jahiz, K. al-Hayawan, 7213-214, and K. al-Bayan, 3291, 295-296. al-Jahiz describes the Arabs' failure (cajz ) to match the Qur'an as due to "Sarfa" (Divine intervention).
" ( ه ", as they, themselves, have failed to match its excellences
Al-Jahiz found the Qur'an to be magnificent in its amazing literary configuration, he says
"The Qur'an differs from all the known rhymes of poetry and prose. It is a prose whose rhythm is not modelled on that of poetry or rhymed prose (sajc, "" and whose configuration stands as a magnificent evidence and as a great Divine proof"

fussilat is related to its root Fasala which means distinct, distinguished, fussilat is a Verb Form II and a Passive Participle / , non-finite verb, meaning something, in this instance Allah,swt is 'causing' the development of this language.

salam muslimthreadrevealed. writing twenty posts, quoting ibn batuta to abu jahil does not change anything or convince.
if you were on the correct path, one quotation from the quran is enough.
because your error ridden claims come from equally error ridden texts, the result is error ridden conclusions.
human nature is, when defending a position for which there is no authority, to throw everything from everywhere, that one may work.
you have done this, throw everything from everywhere, none of them work.allah is the truth.

Salaam alaikum.
salam siki. i have not see any verse in the quran that says nikah is a contract. for this reason i avoid making such a claim.
a contract is an exchange, performance in exchange for consideration. prostitution is a contract, an exchange of money for services. prostitution is in some jusrisdictions and illegal contract, and a legal contract in other jurisdictions. this is another reason why in civil law, we do not say marriage is a contract, because then it becomes another form of prostitution.
What? A Nikah is indeed a contract! with an exchange of saduqat and verbal consent with rights and obligations for both parties. Whether this is in written form or not the fact is inescapable it is a contract.
Nikah is indeed a type of contract or transaction. According to 2/282, transactions are of two types
- Tijaara
- Bayee
Both types of transactions can be made with women, (tijara in 28/27 and bayee' in 60/12)
While the Quran commands believers that all transactions should be written down, it does not say that if it is not written down it is not a transaction. Therefore a transaction can be verbal or written.
Prostitution is also a transaction, but being a transaction is not the problem. The problem is that it is polyandrous.
if you examine the usage of the quran, you will see, the requirement of obediance is not just imposed on wives, it is imposed on women, which would be consistent with the above understanding.
Absolute nonsense.
Al Araf's understanding is turning marriage into the only legalized form of slavery. Worse yet, he is stating that women should obey men.
Under this understanding, the man is the woman's illah, for she obey's him and not Allah.
One cannot have two masters. Either a person is obedient to Allah or his creation.
Being obedient to Allah's creation is what shaitan encourages not Allah and certainly not a believer.Obedience is due to four authorities
Allah and His rasool
Parents
Husband
Oolul amrA man is a woman's ilah only if she is obeying him in matters already dealt with in Allah's book.

salam fahad. you did not think of the conseqeunces of what you posted.
you claim marriage is a contract. there is no verse in the quran that says nikah is a contract. in order to make this claim you would have to forge such an ayah. are you forging ayahs?
prostitution is a contract, the exchange of consideration for going in to a woman. if you make the claim that marriage is a contract you have made marriage equal to prostitution. the issue is not polyandry, the issue is a contract exchange of money for sex. when people are charged with the crime of prostitution, the evidence that is required is an exchange of money, and a promise of sexual services. nowhere in charging prostitution is the issue of polyandry required to be proven in evidence to support a conviction. therefore on this issue you are wrong.
this raises the issue of what is the closest term in english for a nikah, since this is the source of the confusion. judging by the ayah of the quran, the establishment of the rajal as kalleela, the closest english term for a nikah is a guardianship or conservatorship. this is why married women in saudi need the permission of their guardian for certain actions.
looking for contract and turning marriage into prostitution is an evil way. there is no support in the quran for this conclusion.
allah is the lawgiver.
