Ma Malakat Aymanukum and ?oaths?

Charlie Smith

Hello,

Could someone please explain the context of the supposed oaths which the Prophet had with the ma malakat aymanukum in the following verse:

O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. (33:50)

Also what is the context of the oaths in this verse:

And those who guard their private parts Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed ? 79:29-30

Assuming it is possible that the translations are wrong in the above citations and it actually means ?oaths? what were these oaths? Did all sides take an oath? If so, for what? Is there any historical context? I?m very confused and find it hard to understand!

Thanks

Reading it in the manner other non-fictions books are read, things will become explicit, In Sha Allah.

The Ayah 33:50 comprises of 69 separate words. In English language, it is called a paragraph that is around seven to ten sentences long. The paragraph form refers to its overall structure, which is a group of sentences focusing on a single topic.

There are three main parts of a paragraph:

Topic sentence - it has the main idea

Supporting sentence - details that relate to and support the topic sentence

Concluding sentence - a brief reflection or statement about the main idea

The topic sentence is: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ أَزْوَاجَكَ 

30"50-52

Salam!

Brother Mazhar! Were there also some wives who were not given their due compensations by the Prophet?

Peace!

It is a protocol of marriage. In the link it is mentioned:

The paragraph unity is maintained when every other sentence would give specific information than the topic sentence that maintains the same focus of attention as the topic sentence. Specific information about: أَزْوَاجَكَ "your wives" is mentioned: اللَّاتِي آتَيْتَ أُجُورَهُنَّ : "the wives whom you had paid their wedding gifts - determined and settled obligations;". This is adjectival portrayal of the preceding noun Wives. It subtly conveys the fact of consummation of marriages. However, it does not indicate the earlier position or relationship of the honourable wives as to who they were.

Quote from: Charlie Smith on April 10, 2019, 06:16:02 PMand those their right hands possess  .... (33:50)

Those who cannot find the means to marry should be abstinent until Allah enriches them from His bounty. If any slaves YOU [ie. "Those who cannot find the means to marry"] own want to make a contract to free themselves (as your wife), write it for them if you know of good in them (for marriage) and give them some of the (matrimonial property or) wealth Allah has given you. [RATHER THAN] Do not force your slavegirls to prostitute themselves (when you cannot afford to feed etc them) if they desire to be (a spouse and) virtuous women out of your desire for the goods of this world. If anyone forces them, then after they have been forced, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (24:33)

one must first free their slave before making them as their spouse ...a slave cannot have rights in matrimonial property and inheritance etc, only their wife have right for Islamic inheritance and matrimonial property etc. Thus the first contract must first be terminated before you can enter into the second contract, ie. contract of marriage.

The proliferation of words translated or interpreted as slaves, preferably female slaves, in the Qur'an, leads one to hink that some fiscal rebates are to be had that way. Otherwise it is not understandable that so many words with their own proper meanings are turned into slaves.

?IT IS VERY DISGUSTING!!!!

And happen above all in transltions of Qur'an with words which do not mean that. So we have been under war, poverty starvation all the time, not even an hour free?

That kind of translation is an indictement of a whole class of people. And it doesn't look as it is going to change. Too many are too comfortable. They may cringe at cerain things just to show themselves progressive and women sympathetic, but really they have not the least intention of redressing anything.

imagine if we live in a world where women dominate the lands and declare the wars on other women nations  :rotfl:. and they make men their slave then MALES can realise what all women going through from ages.

imagine if 4 womens owned one slave wrong math
imagine if one women owned 4 males then she ll be chilling lmao.

imagine if forcefully women rape men in the battlefield and after killing their wives and kids they captured their husband for slavery how do male feels ?  :police:

i also know some pervs who want this SYSTEM/deen to b established in their lives  :laugh:

    And for all those laws to be upheld, making many people, particularly women, into slaves, no matter which word the Qur'an says, is absolute need.

    No hope for "islamics" at all, even if they call themselves Qur'anists. Their little egos trump anything under the sun.

    He brought down from their fortresses those of the People of the Book who supported them and cast terror into their hearts. You killed some of them and some you took prisoner (slaves). He bequeathed their land, their houses and their wealth to you, and another land you had not yet trodden on. Allah has power over all things. O Prophet, tell your wives: ´If you desire the life of the dunya and its finery, come and I will give you all you need and release you with kindness. But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the abode of the akhira, Allah has prepared an immense reward for those among you who are good-doers.´ (33:26-29)

    Marry off those among you who are unmarried and those of your slaves and slavegirls who are righteous. (24:32)

    Do not marry women of the idolaters until they have iman. A slavegirl who is one of the muminun is better for you than a woman of the idolaters, even though she may attract you. And do not give (your women) in marriage to men of the mushrikun until they have iman. A slave who is one of the muminun is better for you than a man of the idolaters, even though he may attract you. Such people call you to the Fire whereas Allah calls you, with His permission, to the Garden and forgiveness. He makes His Signs clear to people so that hopefully they will pay heed. (2:221)


    let's get to the point.. explain the legal aspect of your argument.

    and what is your basis for the law of inheritance and matrimonial property etc?

    what is your authority or you're simply a lawless community?

    IF any of you do not have the means to marry free women who are muminun, [4:3, 4:129 ONLY THEN] you may marry slavegirls who are muminun. Allah knows best about your iman; you are all the same in that respect. Marry them with their owners' permission and give them their dowries correctly and courteously as married women, not in fornication or taking them as lovers. When they are married, if they commit fornication they should receive half the punishment of free women. This is for those of you who are afraid of committing fornication. But being patient is better for you. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (4:25)

    It is gone everywhere they say, but it is kept alive in Qur'an, ol over the Qur'an. No matter what it says, there must be slavery. Any word means slavery, particularly, women.

    And isn't it kind? Do not force you slaves into prostitution, soo without forcing them you can get money out of the business. Moral, moral, moral.

    Please, say it straight out, but do not use the Qur'an to parade inbumanity as religion.

    Do not force your (of course) slaves into prostitution... and that is

    But if you force them never mind, God forgives...

    Can you guarantee there will be no issue of slavery in future world wars etc?

    (ie. million of prisoners, and during scarcity, poverty, hunger etc.. which many of them "WILLINGLY" chosing slavery)


    A prisoner of war (short form: POW) is a fighter who has been captured by the forces of the enemy, during an armed conflict. In past centuries, prisoners had no rights. They were usually killed or forced to be slaves. .... For most of human history, depending on the culture of the victors, enemy combatants on the losing side in a battle who had surrendered and been taken as a prisoner of war could expect to be either slaughtered or enslaved.
