Violation of the Religious Laws

Chapter Nuur” – (Light) - 24

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَٱلْمُحْصَنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا۟ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَ فَٱجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَٰنِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا۟ لَهُمْ شَهَٰدَةً أَبَدًا وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ 4  

4.  And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony; and they indeed are evildoers -
4.  Wallaziina  yarmuunal-muh-sanaati  summa  lam  ya’-tuu  bi-arba-‘ati  shuhadaaa-‘a  fajli-duuhum  samaaniina  jaldatanw-wa  laa  taqbaluu  lahum  shahaa-datan  ‘abadaa.  Wa  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  humul-faasiquun.

Commentary

‘Al-muh-sanaati – (legally married women, lawful wives), this word has passed in Suratun-Nisaa’. Here it aims “honorable women”, but for the married men is also the same commandment.

It is first duty of the mankind that they should keep the society chaste. Society is not only the name of dwelling of the people collectively at one place, but to establish among them such relationship, by which the spirit of agreeing together is born. It is the congregational soul, influence of which, brings changes in the individuals. Therefore it is responsibility of every individual that they should save the society from wrong manners, so that among the people of the society, chaste and pure social spirit may be produced. In the previous verses, punishment of adultery was described because that is such evil which destroys the whole community.

In this verse, there is mention of accusing someone without proof. And it also is the matter by which discord is produced between mutual relationships and the society gets out of order. If a person says something wrong concerning any other and disgraces him/her, but for proving he/she may not produce four reliable witnesses before the Court, who should come out with the standard of testimony, then he/she will be scourged with eighty stripes and his/her testimony in any other matter will never be acceptable in future.

Such people who consider that vilifying others is a game, indeed they deserve to be called evildoers, because they violate the limits of the Religious Law.
