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.
