Commentary
Allah
Almighty has warned in this verse, “Make not the Revelations of Allah a
laughing-stock (by your behavior)” like that, we obeyed only those Orders,
which we wished and left those Commands which we thought difficult to be acted
upon by us. Moreover, “Abide by the entire Rules completely because your
goodness is only in it”.
First stone of the
social life is family and the family life, and fundamental point of the family
is good relationship between husband and wife. So, it will be quite true and
just to say that foundation of the entire nation’s social system depends on
execution and correction of rights and duties among husband and wife. If the
husband pays his wife’s all rights very gracefully and the wife performs also
like this in her husband’s rights, then life of the entire society will be
established on very strong foundations. But if the relations between husband
and wife have been disconnected and any dispute has been created between them,
then it is sure that the entire society is in danger. Therefore, all people who
like correction, should engage their attention to this side, they should try
that the relations among husband and wife remain firm. Islam has emphasized
especially this side.
It has been proved
also from this verse through this command, “Make not the Revelations of Allah a
laughing-stock (by your behavior)” , for example; at first divorced and then revoked,
and said that either the word divorce was used as laughter and humor or it was
spoken by chance in emotion.
There is abundant wisdom
and advisability in these matters of the Divine Law. The human being should
think about them and try to reach their depth. Allah Almighty has sent these commandments
for our guidance and admonition. It is very necessary for us to reap advantage
from them. God Almighty knows our intentions. He is Familiar of our ecstasies.
Nothing is hidden from Him. To keep the intention pure and settle the matters;
is very needful for us.
