Commentary
Hars – (husbandry, agricultural land, farm), that piece of land is called hars where seed is sown and vegetable, grain and vegetation are gotten, as though; the wife is the source of producing children and increasing your breed/race.
Allah Almighty has
cleared in this verse about the true position of the wife in connection with
wedding relationship. That is to say, the wife is like a farm for her husband,
and as the farmer; he keeps his farm very precious considering it as his very
big wealth, watches and guards it, earns grain from it, likewise; the husband
should also consider his wife as his very great fortune. He should look after
and guard her, and get children from her.
As though, it is
proved that in Islam, real purpose of intercourse is acquiring the children
only. Even its other aspects like demand of sensual pleasure have not been
ignored too. It has also been evident that control over this production (birth
control) is not a natural issue, because, which stupid farmer would be that who
sows the seeds but doesn’t want the crop, uproots the plant before its growth?
Then this matter also enlightens that as the farmer prays for pity rain from
God Almighty, discloses his wish to bud and blossom the crop, like this, the
husband should also pray for getting virtuous children from God Almighty.
Allah Almighty Has
admonished very much quoting the example of tilth (husbandry). Would that the
human beings thought upon this instance and made happy these relationships
lastly with reliance of their lives.
‘An-naa shi’-tum – (as you
wish), ‘an-naa means ‘where’, it has been used for the
meanings of ‘when, just as’ also. How the Holy Qur‘an has
advised about this matter pointing it with wisdom that there is no restriction
on the method and time. But it has been forbidden to destroy one’s strength and
race; adopting un-natural method. More detail will be discussed in the next
lesson (last part of this verse).
