#244 that the preceding verses and the following verses of verse # [4:35] are equal for women and men, for the convenience of my friends I repeat them hereunder:
We discuss verse by verse, the verses in the context as mentioned in post
#2
The Holy Quran : Chapter 4: Al-Nisa'النِّسَاء
[4:29]Allah desires to lighten your burden, for man has been created weak.
Here Quran mentions that man (both men and women) has been created weak.
So both has been mentioned equally in the verse.
[4:30] O ye who believe! devour not your property among yourselves by unlawful means, except that
you earn by trade with mutual consent. And kill not yourselves. Surely, Allah is Merciful to you.
Women and men have no disparity in believing, the verse is equally valid for both.
[4:31]And whosoever does that by way of transgression and injustice, We shall cast him into Fire; and that is easy with Allah.
Women and men cannot do transgression and injustice with one another, if they do they will suffer the same way, no difference. and it is equitable.
[4:32]If you keep away from the more grievous of the things which are forbidden you, We will remove from you your
minor evils and admit you to a place of great honour.
The place of great honour is alike for women and men if they keep away from the more grievous of things which are forbidden, no difference, and it is equitable.
[4:33]And covet* not that whereby Allah has made some of you excel others. Men shall have a share of that which they have earned, and women a share of that which they have earned. And ask Allah of His bounty. Surely, Allah has perfect knowledge of all things.
Both men and women are equally and equitably advised not to covet one another in matters in which by nature or by one's psyche one excels the other. I think there won't be any two opinion in this connection.
[4:34]And to every one We have appointed heirs to what the parents and the relations leave, and
also those with whom your oaths have ratified a contract. So give them their portion. Surely, Allah watches over all things.
Both males and females inherit property from the parents and relations when they die under a system mentioned elsewhere in Quran. Quran/Islam/Muhammad take care of the males and females with affection.
[4:36]And if you fear a breach between them, then appoint an arbiter from his folk and an orbiter from her folk. If they (the arbiters) desire reconciliation, Allah will effect it between them. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
If the temporary separation living in separate room in the same house or if one has more wives then for some days living in some other wife's house does not work. The next step is to have arbitration as mentioned in the verse .
The formation of the arbitration is equally defined in the verse to resolve the issue so that the children don't suffer.
[4:37]And worship Allah and associate naught with Him, and
show kindness to parents, and to kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and to the neighbour that is a kinsman and the neighbour that is a stranger, and the companion by
your side, and the wayfarer, and those whom your right hands possess. Surely, Allah loves not the proud
and the boastful,
Everything is for both men and women equally in this verse also.
One should note here that the verse stresses men and women here to inculcate in their selves to be compassionate with everybody and not to be proud or boastful to anybody.
[4:38]Who are niggardly and enjoin people to be niggardly, and conceal that which Allah has given them of His bounty. And We have prepared for the disbelievers an humiliating punishment.
Everything is for both men and women equally in this verse also.
One should note here that the verse stresses men and women here to inculcate in their selves to be compassionate with everybody and not to be proud or boastful to anybody. Being conjugal partners they should not treat one another miserly and should be generous. That which G-d has given one of them should ,while living together, be enjoyed by the family.
[4:39]And for those who spend their wealth to be seen of men, and believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. And whoso has Satan for his companion,
let him remember that an evil companion is he.
Everything in this verse is also for both men and women equally.
By being loving, caring and compassionate one (woman and man) not only spends family life pleasantly but also obeys the commandments of Allah, creating another dimension of one's deeds, and thus pleases God and gets reward from Him in addition.
[4:40]And what
harm would have befallen them, if they had believed in Allah and the Last Day and spent out of what Allah has given them? And Allah knows them full well.
Everything in this verse is also for both men and women equally.
By being loving, caring and compassionate one (woman and man) not only spends family life pleasantly but also obeys the commandments of Allah, creating another dimension of one's deeds, and thus pleases God and gets reward from Him in addition.
Please look into the verses intently, they deal women and men equally and equitably. Right?
Regards
