Welcome Friends:  Ahlan wa sahlan<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In yesterday\u2019s Reading we dealt briefly with important Qur\u2019anic concepts that DO deserve more scrutiny, most important among them is the concept of \u2018tahreem- \u062a\u062d\u0631\u064a\u0645\u2019 or \u2018prohibition,\u2019 so we\u2019ll try to recap before we comment on today\u2019s reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RECAP & COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. We often hear people offering reasons for the \u2018tahreem\/prohibition\u2019 of pork and certain meats, but what many of us do not realize, is that obedience to \u2018tahreem\u2019 IS in itself an act of worship that enhances our Awareness and does NOT require any further explanation or \u2018raison d\u2019\u00eatre.\u2019  You either believe and observe, or you don\u2019t (as in the rites of Fasting, for example). Indeed the most important distinction between what is \u2018Ithm\u2019 and what is \u2018muharram\/forbidden\u2019 is that, in the latter, there is no argument.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In comparison, we will notice that, in the case of \u2018khamr\/intoxicants\/drugs\u2019 and \u2018Meyssir\/easy gain, the Qur\u2019an gives us reasons.<\/em>  It tells us that, although there is some advantage to them, the disadvantages of their \u2018Ithm\u2019 outweigh the advantages.  It tells us that these practices result in aggression and hatred (HQ 5:90), and prevent us from the remembrance of God and from maintaining proper relationships with each other, and with Him (the root-verb of \u2018Salaat\u2019 is \u2018silah\u2019 or communion\/relationship).  The Qur\u2019an also tells us that we would be following the missteps of \u2018Satan,\u2019 perhaps warning us that \u2018khamr\u2019 (which we should steer clear of) is not unlike the tree which Adam was told not to approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, we must highlight a general Qur\u2019anic principle: God, throughout this Message – proven by His Messenger – has indeed sanctioned for humanity all of that which is wholesome (\u0627\u0644\u0637\u064a\u0628\u0627\u062a), and has forbidden us only from that which is unwholesome.. (\u0627\u0644\u062e\u0628\u0627\u0626\u062b)  as stated in HQ 7:157.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Verse 220 is about the treatment of orphans.  Kindness and generosity with them is often mentioned in the Qur\u2019an (it\u2019s been mentioned 3 times so far: 2:83; 2:177; 2:215).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      1. It is more likely that verse (HQ 2:221), like so many others in the Qur\u2019an, addresses the Muslim community<\/em> of men and women, rather than men alone, as is commonly understood.  Indeed, there is an accepted reading of the word \u2018tankahu\u2019 (\u062a\u064e\u0646\u0643\u062d\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u0631\u0643\u0627\u062a) as \u2018tunkihu\u2019(\u062a\u064f\u0646\u0652\u0643\u0650\u062d\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u0631\u0643\u0627\u062a)  – (meaning to marry off these women, rather than to marry them yourselves) which supports this broader understanding of the verse (as explained by Zamakhshari).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        1. The remaining verses are about the spousal relationship, well-explained by Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Asad, and the subject continues in tomorrow\u2019s reading.  I have nothing to add.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          1. Verse 225 relates to oaths and means for atonement, while Verses 226-230 relate to divorce. These matters have become more related to Fiqh than anything else, with legalities that bind people\u2019s behavior and rights.  Anyway, the discussion continues tomorrow.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Enough said!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Tomorrow\u2019s reading is from verse <\/strong>231-237<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Peace unto all!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
