نِسَآؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْ فَأْتُوا۟ حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْ ۖ وَقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّكُم مُّلَٰقُوهُ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
قرآن کریم میں دو لفظ ہیں لِاَ نْفُسِکُمْ یعنی اَنْفُس اور کُمْ مترجم بالعموم اَ نْفُس کا ترجمہ ’’جان‘‘ کر دیتے ہیں۔ لیکن اردو میں جان کا استعمال اس موقعہ پر نہیں کیا جاتا۔ یہ تو کہتے ہیں کہ اپنے جان پر ظلم نہ کرو‘ اپنی جان کو کچھ آرام دو۔ لیکن یہ نہیں کہتے کہ اپنی جان کو بھی کچھ دو۔ اسی طرح یہ بھی نہیں کہتے کہ اپنی جانوں کے لئے کچھ آگے بھیجو۔ ہاں یہ کہیں گے کہ اپنے مسقبل کا بھی کچھ فکر کرو۔ اپنی آئندہ زندگی کے لئے بھی کچھ انتظام کرو۔ لیکن یہ محاورہ چونکہ مفہوم کو تو ادا کرتا ہے مگر لفظوں سے دور چلا جاتا ہے۔ میں نے درمیانی راہ اختیار کرکے ’’اپنے لئ

Anna means, (1) how; (2) when; and (3) where. (Aqrab).
This verse constitutes an eloquent testimony to the inimitably pure and dignified language of the Qur’an. An extremely delicate subject has been dealt with in a most decent and discreet manner and the whole philosophy of marriage and conjugal relations has been given in one brief sentence, i.e. Your wives are a sort of tilth for you. A woman is indeed like a tilth in which the seed of progeny is sown. A wise husbandman selects the best soil, prepares the best tilth, secures the best seed, and chooses the best time and manner of sowing it. So should a believer do, for on the harvest which he is to reap in the form of children depends not only his own but also his community’s entire future. It is to this supreme fact that the words so pointedly refer. Thus the likening of woman to tilth throws a flood of light on the morality of eugenics and sex.
Important Words:
حرث (tilth). See 2: 206.
انی (how and when) means: (1) how; (2) when; and (3) where (Aqrab).
قدموا (send ahead) is derived from قدم meaning, he came or stepped forward. قدم (qaddama) means, be sent forward or sent ahead; he put forward; he offered. قدم لنفسه means, he did good or evil that will in future bear good or bad fruit for himself. قدمه علی غیره means, he preferred him to others. قدم له الثمن means, he paid him the price in advance (Aqrab). The Quran uses this expression to point out that whatever good or evil deed a man does, serves like a seed to bear a future crop. No action is ever lost.
مؤمنین (those who obey) is derived from آمن meaning: (1) he believed; (2) he obeyed (Aqrab). Here it gives the latter meaning. For a fuller discussion of this word see 2:4.
Commentary:
This verse constitutes an eloquent testimony to the inimitably pure and dignified language of the Quran. An extremely delicate subject has been dealt with in a most decent and discreet manner, and the whole philosophy of marriage and conjugal relations has been given in one brief sentence, i.e. Your wives are a tilth for you. A woman is indeed like a tilth in which the seed of progeny is sown. The expression has a twofold significance depending on the meaning of the words اتوا حرثکم (approach your tilth). If approaching the tilth means coition, then the expression approach your tilth how you like would signify that: (1) you should go in unto your wife in a manner suited to her capacity as a tilth and in no other manner; and (2) that both of you should try to keep your hearts pure at the time of coition so that the issue of the process may also share that purity. Says the Holy Prophet, "When the husband goes in unto his wife, they should both pray to God saying, 'Our Lord, keep both of us away from Satan; and if Thou grant us an issue, keep that also away from him' " (Muslim Kitabun-Nikah).
On the contrary, if "approaching the tilth" means selecting and dealing with the wife, the expression approach your tilth how you like would mean: (1) That you should select a wife who is best suited as a tilth, i.e. (a) she should be ولودviz. capable of producing children and not barren; (b) she should be healthy, capable of producing healthy children; (c) she should be well qualified to give good training to the children; and (d) she should be ودود i.e. of loving nature so that there may reign an atmosphere of love and harmony in the house and the children may benefit by it. (2) That you should look after and treat your wife well so that her life may be happy and contented and she may become best disposed to bring up the children well. (3) That you should keep yourselves also in a state of good physical and moral health so that your seed for your tilth may also be healthy in every respect.
A wise husbandman selects the best soil, prepares the best tilth, secures the best seed, and chooses the best time and manner of sowing it. So should you, for on the harvest which you are to reap in the form of children depends not only your own but also your community’s entire future. It is to this supreme fact that the clause, and send ahead some good for yourselves, so pointedly refers. In short, the likening of woman to tilth throws a flood of light on the morality of eugenics and sex. But the real basis of all happiness and progress is the fear of God and in the words, fear Allah and know that you shall meet Him, the Quran warns the Faithful never to lose sight of the real object of marriage even in the heat of carnal passions for even the seat of these passions is the source of the procreation of children and the continuation of a good race on the earth. Finally, the clause, and bear glad tidings to those who obey, contains a mighty بشارة (good news) for those who may obey this injunction, for it would not only make their own lives supremely happy but would also secure for them the best progeny for all time.

Talut or Gideon was able to defeat Jalut or the Midianites but their overwhelming defeat to which the verse refers as the killing of Jalut came in the time of David about two hundred years afterwards. The Bible speaks of the man defeated by David as Goliath (1 Sam. 17: 4), which is similar to Jalut. Probably, the attributive name given by the Qur’an to the people was also borne by their leader in the time of David.
These words give in a nutshell the whole philosophy of all wars of truth and justice. War should be resorted to only as a means of checking disorder and restoring peace and not for creating disorder and breaking peace and depriving weak nations of freedom.
22:41.
Commentary:
Talut or Gideon was able to defeat Jalut or the Midianites and curb their rising spirits, but their crushing defeat to which the verse refers as the killing of Jalut came in the time of David about two hundred years afterwards. This is why, whereas the defeat of Jalut by Talut has been spoken of by the Quran as ھزم i.e. routing, the complete crushing of their power has been referred to by the world قتل i.e. killing. The Bible speaks of the man defeated by David as Goliath (1 Sam. 17:4), which is similar to Jalut. Probably the attributive name given by the Quran to the people was also borne by their leader in the time of David.
The last clause of the verse, i.e. and had it not been for Allah’s repelling men, some of them by the others, the earth would have become filled with disorder, gives, in a nutshell, the whole philosophy of all wars of truth and justice. War should be resorted to only as a means of checking disorder and restoring peace, and not for creating disorder and breaking peace. The clause also serves as a criterion between Muslims and their adversaries and beautifully points to the party destined for final victory in the struggle.

“无知之中” 这词语并不意味着罪犯作恶而不知道在作恶。事实上, 一个人所作的每一恶行是在无知之中, 是缺乏恰当而足够的知识时干下的。传穆圣曾说过, “有一些知识确实是无知的,” 也就是说, 于人有害的知识 (بِحَارْ, Bihar)。因此补充了 “无知之中” 一语来指罪恶的性质与哲理, 告诫人们去获得有用的知识以避免罪恶。
“迅速” 这词语在这里的意思是 “在临终前” 下节经文所说的 “那些继续作恶直到面临死亡的人” 证实了这个意思。

The words "in ignorance" do not mean that the offenders do evil without knowing that it is evil. In fact, every evil deed which a man does is an act done in ignorance, born of lack of proper and adequate knowledge. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said, "There are some kinds of knowledge which are really ignorance," i.e. the learning of which is injurious to man (Bihar). So the words "in ignorance" have been added to point to the nature and philosophy of sin and to exhort people to acquire useful knowledge with a view to avoiding sin.
The words "soon after" here mean "before death". The next verse which says "who continue to do evil until when death faces one of them," supports this meaning.

The expression بجھالة (ignorantly) does not mean that the offenders do evil without knowing that it is evil. In fact, every evil deed which a man does is an act of ignorance, born of lack of true knowledge. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said, "There are some kinds of 'knowledge' which are really 'ignorance' ", i.e. the learning of which is injurious to man (Bihar). So the expression بجھالة (ignorantly) has been added to point to the philosophy of sin and to exhort people to acquire true knowledge with a view to avoiding sin.
The words من قریب (soon after) here mean "before death" which may come at any time and is thus always near. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said: "Allah accepts the repentance of man till the agonies of death" Muslim, ch. on Taubah). This explanation is corroborated by what is said in the next verse (4:19), viz. who continue to do evil until when death faces one of them, he says, I do repent now. This shows that repentance may be accepted of any person, if he sincerely repents before death actually overtakes him.

عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
穆圣的道路是今日通向安拉的唯一正直的道路。这节经文对一位先知和一位哲学家作了明确的区分。哲学家花了很长时间寻求真理, 但经常在探索中迷失方向; 可是安拉派遣的先知用最短的途径在最快的时间内发现真理。他不必像哲学家那样, 在抽象和难解的概念的迷宫中徘徊, 而是由安拉的启示直接引向真理的。
The Holy Prophet’s path now is the only right and straight path that leads to God. The verse makes a fine distinction between a Prophet and a philosopher. A philosopher takes long time to find out truth and often gets lost in the quest, but a Prophet of God discovers it by the shortest route and in the shortest time. Unlike philosophers he is guided to it direct by Divine revelation without wandering in the labyrinth of abstract and abstruse ideas.
Commentary:
The Holy Prophet’s path now is the only right and straight path that leads to God. All other paths that formerly led to Him have now been closed and shall remain closed till the end of time. The fact that after the advent of the Holy Prophet there has not appeared among the followers of any other religion a single claimant to Divine revelation, while there have been living among the followers of Islam in every age, persons to whom God spoke and revealed Himself, is a proof positive of the Holy Prophet’s path being now the only right and straight path, and of the Quran being the only revealed Book which can lead man to God.

و (waw) 这一虚词的意思是: 也; 然后; 当……时; 在……期间; 同时, 一起; 同; 但是; 然而。它也和 رُبَّ (rubba) 同义, 即常常; 有时; 也许。它也是发誓用的一个虚词, 意思是, “召请” 或 “我宣誓” 或 “我引…为证”。«古兰经» 中, 安拉对某些人或东西郑重保证过, 或引他 (它) 们作为见证。一般来说, 当一个人对安拉发誓时, 他的目的是弥补证据不足这一缺陷, 或对他讲的话加重份量或说服力。他在没有其他人证明自己所说的话的时候, 他就这样做, 他召请安拉来证明自己所说的是事实。但这不是 «古兰经» 中的誓言。«古兰经» 采取这种形式时, 经中提出的真理用不到什么断言作证, 而是在誓言本身中就意示确实的论据。有时这些誓言指的是明显的自然法则, 而且用含蓄的方法要人们注意, 从明显的事物中可以推论出来的事物, 即精神法则。«古兰经» 中誓言的另一个目的是做出一个预言并在实现这个预言时证实它是真理。这就是这节经文中这一誓言的情况。
یعنی صحابہ کرامؓ۔ ان کے حالات سے کفار مکہ کا مقابلہ کرو تو اسلام کی سچائی خوب ظاہر ہو جائے گی۔
The particle waw means, also; then; while; during; at the same time, together; with; but; however. It is also synonymous with rubba, i.e. frequently; sometimes, perhaps. It is also a particle of swearing meaning, 'by' or 'I swear,' or 'I cite as witness' (Aqrab & Lane). Waw has been used in the present and the next two verses in the sense of 'by,' or 'I swear,' or 'I cite as witness.' In the Qur’an God has sworn by certain beings or things or has cited them as witnesses. Ordinarily, when a person takes an oath and swears by Allah his object is to supply the deficiency of insufficient testimony or to add weight or conviction to his statement. By so doing he calls God to witness that he speaks the truth when there is no other person to bear witness to his statement. But such is not the case with the Quranic oaths. When the Qur’an adopts such a form the truth of the statement it makes is not sought to be proved by a mere assertion but by a solid argument implied in the oath itself
Muslims standing in battle array facing the enemy or standing behind their Imam in the five daily Prayers.

Commentary:
In this and the next two verses, God has sworn by certain beings or things or has cited them as witnesses. Ordinarily, when a person takes an oath, his object is to supply the deficiency of insufficient testimony or to add weight or conviction to his assertion. In fact, by so doing he calls God to witness that he speaks the truth, when there is no witness in the case. But such is not the case with the Quranic oaths. When the Quran adopts such a form, the truth of the statement it makes is not sought to be proved by a mere allegation but by a solid argument implied in the oath itself. Sometimes, these oaths refer to the obvious laws of nature and by implication draw attention to what may be inferred from what is obvious. Another object of a Quranic oath is to make a prophecy the fulfilment of which establishes its truth. For a collective note on this and the next verse see v. 4 below.

و (waw) 这一虚词的意思是: 也; 然后; 当……时; 在……期间; 同时, 一起; 同; 但是; 然而。它也和 رُبَّ (rubba) 同义, 即常常; 有时; 也许。它也是发誓用的一个虚词, 意思是, “召请” 或 “我宣誓” 或 “我引…为证”。«古兰经» 中, 安拉对某些人或东西郑重保证过, 或引他 (它) 们作为见证。一般来说, 当一个人对安拉发誓时, 他的目的是弥补证据不足这一缺陷, 或对他讲的话加重份量或说服力。他在没有其他人证明自己所说的话的时候, 他就这样做, 他召请安拉来证明自己所说的是事实。但这不是 «古兰经» 中的誓言。«古兰经» 采取这种形式时, 经中提出的真理用不到什么断言作证, 而是在誓言本身中就意示确实的论据。有时这些誓言指的是明显的自然法则, 而且用含蓄的方法要人们注意, 从明显的事物中可以推论出来的事物, 即精神法则。«古兰经» 中誓言的另一个目的是做出一个预言并在实现这个预言时证实它是真理。这就是这节经文中这一誓言的情况。

و (by) means, also; then; while; during; at the same time, together; with; but; however. It is also synonymous with رب(rubba) i.e. frequently; sometimes, perhaps. It is also a particle of swearing meaning, 'by' or 'I swear' or 'I cite as witness.' (Aqrab & Lane).و has been used in the present and the next two verses in the sense of 'by' or 'I swear' or 'I cite as witness.'
The words الصافات صفا (who range themselves in close ranks) may signify: (1) Muslims standing in close rows behind their Imam in the five daily Prayers, or (2) Muslims who stand in battle array facing the enemy.
For a collective explanatory note on this and the next two verses see v. 4.
Commentary:
In this and the next two verses, God has sworn by certain beings or things or has cited them as witnesses. Ordinarily, when a person takes an oath, his object is to supply the deficiency of insufficient testimony or to add weight or conviction to his assertion. In fact, by so doing he calls God to witness that he speaks the truth, when there is no witness in the case. But such is not the case with the Quranic oaths. When the Quran adopts such a form, the truth of the statement it makes is not sought to be proved by a mere allegation but by a solid argument implied in the oath itself. Sometimes, these oaths refer to the obvious laws of nature and by implication draw attention to what may be inferred from what is obvious. Another object of a Quranic oath is to make a prophecy the fulfilment of which establishes its truth. For a collective note on this and the next verse see v. 4 below.

The particle waw means, also; then; while; during; at the same time, together; with; but; however. It is also synonymous with rubba, i.e. frequently; sometimes, perhaps. It is also a particle of swearing meaning, 'by' or 'I swear,' or 'I cite as witness' (Aqrab & Lane). Waw has been used in the present and the next two verses in the sense of 'by,' or 'I swear,' or 'I cite as witness.' In the Qur’an God has sworn by certain beings or things or has cited them as witnesses. Ordinarily, when a person takes an oath and swears by Allah his object is to supply the deficiency of insufficient testimony or to add weight or conviction to his statement. By so doing he calls God to witness that he speaks the truth when there is no other person to bear witness to his statement. But such is not the case with the Quranic oaths. When the Qur’an adopts such a form the truth of the statement it makes is not sought to be proved by a mere assertion but by a solid argument implied in the oath itself

穆圣的使命在于这节经文中所提到的四重圣职。这是托付给他的伟大而高尚的任务; 因为他出现在阿拉伯文盲中, 众圣之父伊布拉欣在几千年以前在和他的儿子伊司马仪一齐奠立天房根基时做了祈祷 (2:130)。事实上, 复兴者没法真正继承他的使命, 除非他以其高尚而纯洁的表率建立一个虔诚、笃信而正义的信徒所组成的社会, 首先教以他那启示中的理想和原则及其哲理、意义和重要性, 然后派遣他们去国外向别的宗族传播启示。他灌输给信徒们的教育, 磨砺了他们的智慧, 他的教导的哲理使他们产生了坚定的信仰, 他那高尚的表率使他们心灵纯洁。这节经文就是指这个基本的宗教事实。

The Divine mission of the Holy Prophet consisted in the performance of the fourfold sacred duty referred to in this verse. This was the great and noble task which was entrusted to him; because it was to his appearance among the unlettered Arabs that the Patriarch Abraham had prayed several thousand years ago, when in company with his son, Ishmael, he was raising the foundations of the Ka‘bah (2:130). In fact, no Reformer can truly succeed in his mission unless he prepares, by his noble and purifying example, a community of sincere, devoted and righteous followers, whom he first teaches the ideals and the principles of his Message and their philosophy, significance and importance, and then sends them abroad to preach that Message to other people. The training he imparts to his followers refines their intellect, and the philosophy of his teaching engenders in them certainty of faith, and his noble example creates in them purity of heart. It is to this basic fact of religion that the verse refers.
