Commentary

The aim from Ziinat is natural beauty of women’s body or any part of their body and that beauty which is gotten by wearing ornaments and garments etc. In the beginning, believing men and women were instructed that they should lower their gaze. And it was commanded to them clearly that they should not open their body parts which are required to be kept covered. Moreover, the women were directed that except face, hands and feet, they should not expose their decoration and any part of their body or its adornment before the common people save those men who have been described in this verse. The women have to keep their faces, hands, feet and ornaments opened under the orders of necessity. The men should keep their eyes lower, and this commandment for women is in all conditions whether they are at home or outside the house.

It is commanded: It is compulsory for the women that they should keep their veils drawn over their bosoms. In addition, it is commanded concerning common body parts that they should not reveal their forms and adornments before any other, but their husbands, fathers, fathers-in-law, sons, brothers, step sons, brothers’ and sisters’ sons (nephews). Remember it that it is the commandment of that society, in which men and women (both) lower their gaze.

Commentary

The believing men were instructed in the previous verse (lesson) that they should accustom to lower their gaze and be modest so that no sin may occur by them. In this connection, it has been commanded in this verse: These both matters will lead them to chasteness and pureness. If they will not care, will not lower their gaze during lawful and unlawful circumstances and will do whatever they wish to do, then there is risk of being drenched in impurity of sins of life. Remember it! Allaah Almighty is well Aware of your entire deeds.

After that, it has been instructed to the believing women that they also should habituate themselves to lower their gaze and guard their hidden body parts. They should come to know also that showing outward adornment of their natural beauty, dress and ornaments are not lawful for them. However, it is of no consequence in keeping that part of the body opened, hiding of which is difficult, and that is usually kept opened due to any necessity or compulsion. It is the reason that believing men and women (both) have been instructed to lower their gaze, so that neither anybody may see those body parts and nor any interference may happen in worldly matters. In those things, face, hands and feet are included which are kept generally opened under the orders of necessity. Like this, their outer adorning – a ring worn on the finger and henna etc. are included.

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

لَّيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَدْخُلُوا۟ بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ فِيهَا مَتَٰعٌ لَّكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُمَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُونَ 29  قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا۟ مِنْ أَبْصَٰرِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا۟ فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَٰلِكَ أَزْكَىٰ لَهُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ 30  

29.  (It is) no sin for you to enter uninhabited houses wherein is your goods. And Allah knoweth what ye proclaim and what ye hide. 30a.  Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest.

29.  Laysa  ‘alaykum  junaahun  ‘an  tadkhuluu  buyuutan  gayra  maskuunatin  fiihaa  mataa-‘ul-lakum.  Wallaahu  ya’-lamu  maa  tubduuna  wa  maa  taktu-muun. 30a.  Qul-lil-Mu’-miniina  yaguz-zuu  min  ‘absaarihim  wa  yah-fazuu  furuujahum.

Commentary

It is commanded: The house which is neither in particular possession of any person and nor it has been built for living of any particular individual, and nor there is any restriction for entrance of any person, but it is open for all, in such house you can enter without permission, as any Mosque, an Inn or any Monastery etc. There is no trouble in entering such place. You can reap suitable advantage from it, but bear in mind that neither it should be damaged and nor your intention should be to reap improper advantage from it. Endowed and the things of charity are for use of all people publicly. Either taking their possession or letting the people not to reap advantage from them or trying to cause to profit oneself only – all such matters are disallowed. You can benefit from them only as much as other people can reap advantage.

Remember it! Allaah Almighty knows your apparent deeds as well as your secret intentions. You should never think to deprive of others from the benefits of the thing useful for common people and to reap advantage yourself only.

After that, very useful rules have been described for keeping the society chaste from wicked deeds. At first, Muslim men have been instructed that they should be habituated of keeping their gaze low and control their wishes. Bear in mind that any bashful act is not committed by your private body parts. If you see without thinking any attractive face, then you should change your looking direction immediately and should not see on that side again.

فَإِن لَّمْ تَجِدُوا۟ فِيهَآأَحَدًا فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّىٰ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ وَإِن قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱرْجِعُوا۟ فَٱرْجِعُوا۟ هُوَ أَزْكَىٰ لَكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ 28  

28.  And if ye find no one therein, still enter not until permission hath been given. And if it be said unto you: Go back then go back, for it is purer for you. And Allah knoweth what ye do.

28.  Fa-‘illam  tajiduu  fiihaaa  ‘ahadan  falaa  tadkhuluuhaa  hattaa  yu’-zana  lakum.  Wa  ‘in-  qiila  lakumur-ji-‘uu  farji-‘uu  huwa  ‘azkaa  lakum.  Wallaahu  bimaa  ta’-maluuna  ‘Aliim.

Commentary

It was commanded previously that you should not enter in those houses where people live, without the permission of their inhabitants. And if you are not permitted then you should return without taking ill.

In this verse, it is commanded: If you wish to visit a house of any other but you do not find there any person, still you should not enter in that house. However if you have already been permitted then it is of no consequence in your entering that house. If here too, it is refused to give you permission then you should not frown. The fact is that none should touch any such thing without permission, owner of which is someone else. And without the will of the owner of a house you cannot enter whether someone exists there or otherwise. If any person thinks that the house is opened and there is no one watching, so there is no harm in entering the house, then if he is a Muslim, he should know it clearly that Allaah Almighty is Aware of his entire works and intentions. He knows that what you have been going to do and why. If temporary owner is absent, then Allaah Almighty is Present and has been looking and watching the house during the absence of its inhabitants, He has forbidden you from entering in the house of any other without his permission. If a mankind bears this matter in mind, then no sin will occur by him.
