POLL: What is the true meaning of Ma Malakat Aymanukum?

GODsubmitter

Peace Godsubmitter.

"Mamalakat Aymanukum" means different things in different verses.For example

It may mean here " What you already have"?

Or

It may mean here"What is permitted to you"?

As far as I understand it does ot mean the same thing in all the verses.

Pace to you

Thank you for your kindness )

theorem
whenever there is a feminin concubine, there is masculine concubin.

you can traduce by girlfriend/boyfriend with sexual friendship if you want.

for the number. Only one.
there was only one exception, Muhammad. Allah allowed him to marry all the concubines he had before he received revelation in the "night of decree". After that, it was forbidden to him to take other spouses or to exchange one by another.
Verses to read carefully 33-50 to 33-52.

of course, you have to throw away the tale about the marriage with a woman called khadija.
Do you know , that in that "cendrilla" tale, where a princess married with the orphan Muhammed, father of the princess refused the marriage. To convince him, the tale says that the princes convinced his father by making him drunk ?
Can you accept this tale ?

Peace

Peace Brother Noshirk,

I have checked the meaning and definition of concubinage on Wikipedia. I kinda agree with your views on MMA but concubinage is always associated with harems. I prefer the use of "de facto spouses" rather than concubines to translate ma malakat ayman.

What say you? ;D

no problem
MMA is a status where a women is de facto married with no official status. She is, legally, in an unprotected financial status.

Actually the answer is simple.

Ayman or yamiin literally means right, right hand or oath.

Why ayman doesn't mean slave??

"And tell the believing females to lower their gaze and keep covered their private parts, and that they should not reveal their beauty except what is apparent, and let them put forth their shawls over
their cleavage. And let them not reveal their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or the sons of their brothers, or the sons of their sisters, or their women, or those maintained by their oaths, or the male servants (taabi'i/) who are without need."

taabi'i/ literaly means disciple, follower, but it also have alternative meaning like "subject, vassal, dependent, appendant, subservient, tributary".

I mean taab'i can also be mean servant or slave like "abdi".

So if we translate "ayman" as slave, indeed there will be a pleonasm/repetition.

Peace.
