The Aya says:
The men, standing upright over the women by what Allah bestowed to some of them over some and by what they spent of their money. Therefore, the righteous women (are) dedicated, preservers of the private, by what Allah preserved. And as for those women from whom you (plural) fear disdain/rebellion, then advise them, including leave them in the beds, and nudge/lightly hit them. So, if they willingly complied, then do not aggress on them a way. Indeed, Allah happened to be most high, big.

My personal note:

This Aya contains lots of important statements and it has entered so many discussions from a feminist perspective. It is difficult to translate it without being influenced by some preconceived notions, whether from men or women. There are statements I needed to touch:

The men standing upright over the women: This one carries with it two meanings. One is that women are the base that supports the men to stand. Two is that men should assume taking care of the women. The two meanings are not mutually exclusive.

Allah bestowed to some of them over some: This carries within it that Allah gave of his bounty to some people, men and women, more than he gave to others and therefore made our responsibilities towards each other dependant on what bounties of God were given to us. The part that follows about the spending of the money is understood that men are responsible to financially support their women. It also carries within it’s meaning that while some of us may have a bounty of something, others will have a bounty of another and therefore we all end up needing each other.

The Aya addresses issues related to women and that is why it does not mention the qualities of a good man. This is part of being in the Sura/ chapter that is designated to matters of women mainly. It does give some of the qualities of the righteous women, mainly dedication and keeper of privacy. Keeper of privacy touches on the very important issue of protection of privacy within the Islamic system. It is considered a right that should not be violated at all times.

The last issue is the issue of the word IDRIBOOHUNNA, which I translated as hit lightly or nudge. It is because of this, that this Aya will always be discussed by different people. Some attack Islam through it and others attacking each alternative understanding of it. The reason I chose hit lightly/nudge is because the way I understood the term as the use of the limb to achieve an aim. In this case, one cannot use the limb to hit harshly and achieve the aim, but a light hit or a nudge can do it. One thing for sure is that Muslims scholars are in agreement that this is not an order that should be obeyed, but a choice that a person may choose sparingly and rarely. They cite hadeeths from the prophet (pbuh) never hitting a wife and in which he discouraged hitting. So, the way the scholars understood this Aya is that it is a permission to lightly hit/nudge, while the preferred thing is not to hit at all. They did consider it illegal to hit a face of any individual.

There is a translation by Laleh Bakhtiar in which she translated Idriboohunna as move away or cease. I have to disagree within my understanding of the Arabic. The root Dhad-R-B does carry those meanings, only when the word that is derived from the root is followed by another word AAan. Since that did not occur in this sentence, then I cannot understand this Aya as meaning move away. God however knows best.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Alrrijalu: the men
ALRIJAL is derived from the root is R-J-L and it means legs. The word also means men depending on the situation. One possible link could be because when men and women are in the caravan and the ability to ride is limited, then the men will be on their legs, while the women will be riding the camels or so forth. ALRIJAL means: the men.
Qawwamoona: standing upright
Note: the root is Qaf-W-M and it means standing upright. QAWWAMOONA are people who are standing upright or standing upright very well. This conceptually can lead to several meanings that may apply. One is standing very well and secure and safe. Another is taking responsibility or deserving of taking responsibility since the one standing upright is the one who is more likely to take responsibility.
AAala: on
Alnnisai: the women
Note: the word means the women. It has two potential roots that may be related to it. The first N-S-Y and it is the one used for women. This same root is used for the sciatic nerve as a concrete word and for forgetting. The relation between the different meanings is only in an indirect manner. Another root is N-S-Hamza and it means putting things behind in time or space of delaying things. Concrete words are the women that have a delay in the menses because of possibility of pregnancy. The Statement Alrijal qawwamoona alaa alnisai carries the potential two meanings of men stand upright because of women as their base and men standing upright to take care of women’s needs. Both meanings apply.
Bima: By what
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. MA means what
Faddala: He bestowed of bounty/ blessing/ Ample goodness
Note: the root is F-Dhad-L and it means overflowing of good, or the remaining of the good thing after it has been utilized. It indicates many meanings and one of them is the bounty of good, the presence of more than needed of it and so both. FADDALA is an action that is derived from the root and that is completed. It means the action of presence of bounty or overflowing of good was made to happen by the subject (first person singular pointing to Allah, next). It was made to happen by the subject to the object which is the next word (baAAdahum= some of them).

ALSSALIHATU then are the women of goodness/ benefit and that would be the definition of the righteous.
Qanitatun: dedicated
Note: the root is Qaf-N-T and it means dedication. The meaning can conceptually be used for being silent in front of another, acceptance of the lordship of the one above him/her, worship, and standing as well.

And do not wish for yourselves what Allah has bestowed of his ample goodness (upon) some of you over some.

This is 4:31
إِن تَجْتَنِبُواْ كَبَآئِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُّدْخَلاً كَرِيمًا
In tajtaniboo kabaira ma tunhawna AAanhu nukaffir AAankum sayyiatikum wanudkhilkum mudkhalan kareeman

The aya says:
If you (plural) avoid the big ones of what you are prohibited from, then we will discard away from you (plural) your hated words and deeds, and make you enter an entrance that contains and provides plenty of goodness.

My personal note:
This Aya accepts that we all will sin some minor sins and it seems to suggest that they will be forgiven. The aya asks of us to try as much as we can to avoid the biggest sins, that God prohibited us from doing.

Translation of the transliterated words:
In: if
Tajtaniboo: you (plural) avoid/ throw away
Note: the root is J-N-B and it means side of an entity. This word then takes many meanings according to the context, including setting aside, as in avoiding or rejecting. TAJTANIBOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of putting the object (kabaira= the bigs of) to the side, is being made to happen or will be made to happen by the subject (second person plural). This takes the meaning of avoidance or throwing away or rejection.
Kabaira: big ones of
Note: the root is K-B-R and it means big in quality or quantity or any other feature that denotes bigness. KABAIRA means big ones of.
Ma: what
Tunhawna: you (plural) prohibited/ you are ordered to stop short

وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ عُدْوَانًا وَظُلْمًا فَسَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِ نَارًا وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللّهِ يَسِيرًا
Waman yafAAal thalika AAudwanan wathulman fasawfa nusleehi naran wakana thalika AAala Allahi yaseeran

The Aya says:
And whoever does that, in transgression and injustice then We shall make him reach heat of fire, and that happened to be easy on Allah.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the theme of the previous one. It points that whoever breaks the rule and kills others, or takes the money of others, in injustice and transgression, then God will pay them back in the fire of Hell.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waman: and whoever

Wathulman: and injustice/ and misplacing right and wrong
Note: Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after. This link is through inclusion, either one is included in the other or they are all included in the bigger sentence or bigger picture. WA often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. Thulman is derived from the root THA-L-M and it means darkness in the most concrete form. This word also takes the meaning of misplacing right from wrong and transgression or injustice since injustice is misplacing right from wrong and a decision made in darkness. THULMAN is injustice.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَأْكُلُواْ أَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ إِلاَّ أَن تَكُونَ تِجَارَةً عَن تَرَاضٍ مِّنكُمْ وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ أَنفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la takuloo amwalakum baynakum bialbatili illa an takoona tijaratan AAan taradin minkum wala taqtuloo anfusakum inna Allaha kana bikum raheeman

The Aya says:
O those who made themselves safe (in Allah), do not eat your money between you, by falsehood if not it is trade based on mutual acceptance from you. And do not kill yourselves. Allah indeed happened to be merciful by you (plural).

My personal note:
The Aya gives talks about “eat your money between you” this statement points to eating each other’s money, or even badly spending one’s own money. The same applies for killing yourselves. It points to killing oneself and killing others within the society.

The Aya also seems to point out that trade which is based on mutual acceptance and willingness is acceptable.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya ayyuha allatheena: O those who
Note: the three words used here are callings.
Amanoo: made themselves safe
Note: the root is Hamza-M-N and it means safe or safety. AMANOO is an action that is derived from the root and that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (not mentioned and therefore the subject and the object can be the same entity here) become safe happened by the subject (third person plural). So, it ends up meaning: they made themselves safe.
La: not
Takuloo: you (plural) eat
Note: the root is Hamza-K-L and it means eating. This will then take different meanings depending on the different planes of thought that a person has. TAKULOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed.

Note: Bi suggests that what comes after it is either an association with the action, a tool of the action or an object of the action or any combination of the three. If bi serves as an object of the action that it serves as an emphasis of the action. ALBATILI is derived from the root is B-TTa-L and it means null or void or naught. ALBATILI is what is null and void or what leas to null and void. In here it is used for falsehood and untruth because they lead to null and void.
Illa: if not
An: that
Takoona: she be/ she happens to be
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. TAKOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root.

Minkum: from you (plural)

Yureedu Allahu an yukhaffifa AAankum wakhuliqa alinsanu daAAeefan

The Aya says:
Allah seeks to make light (your burdens) for you (plural), and the human was created weak.

My personal note:
This aya gives us the extent of Allah’s love for us. It tells us that God orders us things to make life easy and light for us because we were created with weaknesses. The Aya tells us that God takes our weaknesses in consideration.

Translation of the transliterated words:

WA often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. KHULIQA is derived from the root KH-L-Qaf and it means creating and creation. The word has many other meanings that revolve around that theme. In concrete, it means the smoothened rock that was shaped that way, so it has the cutting and shaping and making things as part of the meaning as well as creating out of nothing as well. KHULIQA is an action that is completed. It means the action of creation of the object (Alinsan= the human) happened by an undeclared subject.
Alinsanu: the human/ the man
Note: the root is Hamza-N-S and it means socializing. Conceptually it carries people and society and so forth. ALINSAN is the human or the man, because humans form society.
daAAeefan: weak
Note: the root is Dhad-Ain-F and it means in concrete, when the thing is folded upon itself, therefore giving two potential meanings for the derivatives, one is weakness, since the weak gets folded and the other is multiplication since the fold one object becomes two. The context of the sentence can carry weak. DaAAeeFAN means weak.

وَاللّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُرِيدُ الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الشَّهَوَاتِ أَن تَمِيلُواْ مَيْلاً عَظِيمًا
WaAllahu yureedu an yatooba AAalaykum wayureedu allatheena yattabiAAoona alshshahawati an tameeloo maylan AAatheeman

The aya says:
And Allah seeks that He aids you in repentance, while those who follow the bodily desires seek that you tilt great tilting.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about the theme of Islamic moderation, where we do not tilt to one direction more than another and therefore we end up in imbalance. So, the Aya is not to be understood that bodily desires are to be completely forgotten or inhibited, but that they should be regulated or put in check so that we will not tilt greatly away from the balanced straight path.

Following Allah's path does provide us for our bodily needs, including our bodily desires, within an Islamic legal framework. This is opposite to following our desires without heeding Allah's path.

WaAllahu: And Allah/ while Allah

The Aya says:
And whoever could not marry the protected free women who attained safety (in Allah), then from what you have legal authority of your young women who attained safety (in Allah). And Allah (is) more knowing of your safety (in Him). Some of you from some, therefore marry them with permission of their people, and give them their compensations, by what is recognized as good, protected, not adulterated nor as concubines. Then when they are married, so if they come with an ugly deed (sexual) then upon them is half of what is upon the protected free women of the suffering. That is to those who fear hardship/sin amongst you (plural). And if you self restrain, then it is better for you, and Allah is forgiving, merciful.

My personal note:
The Aya changes the context of the word Muhsanat which carries the general meaning of protected/guarded women through being married. The context of the sentence makes the first Muhsanat to mean protected free women because it contrasts them to ma malakat Aymanukum= what you have legal authority. This term applies to a large category of situations, but in here it points to slave women.

The Aya them is telling the believers to marry the free women, but if they cannot then to marry the slave girls that they own, which also includes giving them their freedom. It mentions taking permission from their families and giving them the same as they would give to any free woman. If those women, however, commit a sexual offense after having been freed and married, then their punishment will be half the punishment of the free woman.
The Aya also touches on the fear of hardship which includes fear of falling into sin. This is very interesting. This statement acknowledges the importance and significance of fulfilling our sexual needs. It mentions less than ideal solutions that can be permitted in case of fear or hardship or falling into sin. It points that the more important thing is protecting people from falling into sin, by allowing legal alternatives to a very traditional marriage, but which can fulfill their sexual needs.

The aya ends with saying that self restraint is better, for those who can do it. However, the Aya ends with God being forgiving and merciful. As if the Aya says that God helps each one of us in fulfilling their legitimate sexual needs, within a legal Islamic framework. It is within this background, that some early Muslims, Ibn Abbas and Ibn Hanbal, considered that masturbation will be allowed for those who otherwise fear falling into hardship or adultery. It probably can be expanded to other categories of people and needs as well.

Salaam all,

This is 4:24
وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاء إِلاَّ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ كِتَابَ اللّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأُحِلَّ لَكُم مَّا وَرَاء ذَلِكُمْ أَن تَبْتَغُواْ بِأَمْوَالِكُم مُّحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحِينَ فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهِ مِنْهُنَّ فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً وَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا تَرَاضَيْتُم بِهِ مِن بَعْدِ الْفَرِيضَةِ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا
Waalmuhsanatu mina alnnisai illa ma malakat aymanukum kitaba Allahi AAalaykum waohilla lakum ma waraa thalikum an tabtaghoo biamwalikum muhsineena ghayra musafiheena fama istamtaAAtum bihi minhunna faatoohunna ojoorahunna fareedatan wala junaha AAalaykum feema taradaytum bihi min baAAdi alfareedati inna Allaha kana AAaleeman hakeeman

The Aya says:
And the married of the women if not what you have legal authority, the book of Allah upon you (plural). And was permitted for you what (is) behind those that you (plural) seek with your money, protecting, not sneaking. Then, what you reached of needs by it from them, therefore give them their dues. An obligation, and there is no tilt to error on you (plural) in what you mutually agreed, after the obligation. Indeed Allah happened to be knowledgeable, wise.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the list of the forbidden women and mentions the women who are already married if not you have authority. This exception includes their wives already and that is important to mention the exception so that men will not misunderstand. It can also include, at the time of slavery, the women who they owned as slaves and were married. In this case, the owner may have authority to obtain a divorce from her husband to marry her, or be capable of sleeping with her, within her consent. However, she cannot have sex with two men at the same time.
The other issue is that this Aya makes the marriage public and not private or secret. This is so that all will know this person is married to that. The public marriage is mainly for protecting the right of the woman, and that is one of the significant issues of Protecting/ fortifying, not sneaking/ unrestraining.

The aya says:
Was forbidden for you (plural) your mothers and your daughters and your sisters and the sisters of your fathers and the sisters of your mothers and the daughters of your brothers and the daughters of your sisters and your mothers who breast fed you, and your sisters from breast feeding and the mothers of your wives and the daughters of your wives, with whom you consummated, so if you have not consummated, then there is no tilt to error. And the spouses of your children who are from your back bone, and that you bring together the two sisters, except what already happened. Indeed Allah is forgiving, merciful.

My personal note:
This Aya mentions the different women a man cannot marry. It includes the women who breastfed the man and his sisters in that breastfeeding. It also includes the daughters of the wives if the marriage was consummated, but no prohibition if the marriage was not consummated.

The Aya ends up with saying that if the act already happened without the person knowing those prohibitions, then Allah is forgiving and merciful.
