Is Marriage between "a Man and a Woman;" or "two-three-four Women"? (=4/1)
-
Salaam/Peace to All,
here we shall reflect on these most essential and important Verses with regard to "Marriage,"
and try to clearly understand the Perfect Commandments and Recommendations of our Lord AL-LAH
unto all of us, in this respect, now here thus===============
1- O people, be Conscious of your LORD Who has created you as single "body/soul" (="nafsin" wahidatin
= i.e. "Male-Kind," for example our honorable ancestor "Adam" in this respect, first of all, therein),and HE created from it (=i.e. from exactly the similar/same genetic material, equally
"46 chromosomes" = "46 chromosomes"-- its mate (="zawjaha"
= i.e. "Female-Kind," for example our honorable ancestor "Eve" in this respect, first of all, therein),and HE sent forth from two-of-them (=i.e. "Male-Kind" & "Female-Kind" in that first modern Human population
wherein "Adam" and "Eve" were thus chosen Leaders therein =2/30-3-- many men and women;so, (always) be Conscious of AL-LAH in Whose (Name) you request (your needs/promises/rights) from one another, and
(regard) the relatives. Certainly, AL-LAH is Watcher over you.2- And give the orphans their possessions, and do not substitute the "bad" (=i.e. "illicit earnings/possessions"
for the "good" (=i.e. "lawful earnings/possessions", and so do not consume their possessions --(by greedily
combining/adding them)-- into your possessions; for truly this would be a gross injustice/sin!3- But when/if you fear that you cannot perfectly uphold justice for (all) the orphans (by taking good care of
all of them in your Society-Community-Nation), then you should marry off (=faankihoo)
those who (look) morally-clean to you of the "women" (=i.e. specifically the "mothers" of those orphans above)="two" (to "two" good "single" man) and/or "three" (to "three" good "single" man)
and/or "four" (to "four" good "single" man).But if you fear that you cannot achieve-"equity" (=i.e. you cannot succeed in finding perfectly "equitable" matches
for/in each case above) then (you may try to "marry off"at least) "one" --such "widow" with her orphan/s above-- (to "one" good "single" man),
or/and (this Law will apply exactly the same also with regard to) those whom your right-hands accommodated (=i.e.
those "young girls/daughters" protected and sheltered by Believing --(financially middle or low income)-- parents or
stepparents here =4/25)
This is best that you do not commit injustice and suffer hardship (as/in whole Society-Community-Nation).*In the above Verse when/if this specific verb "marry off" (=fa-ankihoo) is thus rightfully read and understood
in exact similar/same manner as here "marry off" (=wa-ankihoo) (=24/32),
then we can clearly see that our Lord AL-LAH recommends unto all truthful Believers (as a good/best Deed on our part,
as a whole Society-Community-Nation)to lawfully "marry off" (=fa-ankihoo)
all such "widows" with their orphans, and then also all such "young girls/daughters" above,
especially who are morally-clean (=tayyibat) among them, first of all, in this Rightful manner above (=4/3),and then again
to lawfully "marry off" (=wa-ankihoo)
all "singles", and also all "working-men and working-women" (in their business or in their homes as their lawful employees),
especially who are morally-upright (=salihaat) among them, first of all, again, in this Rightful manner here (=24/32),in such a perfectly parallel and absolutely Coherent/Consistent manner here (4/3 = 24/32).
4- And give the "women" (=i.e. specifically the "mothers" of those orphans above here again, first of all)
their "dues" (="saduqatihinna" i.e. --daily, weekly or monthly-- payment (other than
the "dowry-payment" (="fareedatan" here 4/24 = 2/236-237) that should be given regularly to them
by their husbands therein)-- willingly,
but if they remit (occasionally) any of it to you of their own will, then you may take it thankfully, humbly.QURAN TESTAMENT 4/1-2-3-4
So, due to the Fact that our Lord AL-LAH thus makes it unmistakably Clear to us
that HE has originally/ideally/perfectly createdone "Eve" for one "Adam" or/and one "Adam" for one "Eve"
in the very first Verse of this most specific Chapter above (=4/1),
henceforth, I believe we should always absolutely be mindful of this "Perfect Decree" of our Lord AL-LAH
above, in the very first place,
and thereby should clearly understand thatA wholly blessed and lawful "Marriage" is only between "a (one) Man" and "a (one) Woman", from the very beginning.
