On The Third Verse of Sūrat al-Nisāʾ (The Chapter of The Women)

Abstract

The Qur’ān is the most important source and guide for all human beings in the world. It has showed the true way to the human beings in every topic and field about life. One of the topics is marriage. There are some different choices, applications, acceptances, norms, features, varieties and prejudgments about marriage throughout history. The main subject in our work is polygamy which is the kind of marriage. Polygamy has been accepted and applied by some societies and cultures. There are some conditions and rules about it in the Qur’ān and Islāmic culture. In order to comprehend these issues, we will try to focus on the third verse of Sūrat al-Nisāʾ giving the lesson is “And if you fear that you will not be able to respect the rights of the orphans, then marry two, three, four of the women whom you like. And if you fear injus-tice, then limit yourselves to one woman or a slave that is in your possession; that is best for you, so that you may not depart from justice.” via some scholars’ interpretations in the classical period and the mod-ern period. Our aim is having an effort to read the real situations of the past and the present in an objec-tive way, to try to reach the best understanding and the most accurate&realistic solutions for the current problems about family, marriage, and the rights of women and wives in our study. Our methodology in our research is based on the following of the projection of the authors such as Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad b. Jarīr b. Yazīd el-Āmulī al-Ṭabarī al-Baghdādī, Abū al-Fidā’ Imād al-Dīn Ismāʿīl b. Shihāb al-Dīn ʿUmar b. Kathīr b. Daw’ b. Kathīr al-Qaysī al-Qurashī al-Buṣrāwī al-Dımashqī al-Shāfiʿī, Abū ʿAbdillāh (Abū al-Faḍl) Fakhr al-Dīn Muḥammad b. ʿUmar b. Ḥusayn al-Rāzī at-Ṭabaristānī, Almalili Hamdi Yazir, ʿUmar Nasuhi Bilman, Sayyid Qutb, Abū l-Aʿlā Mawdūdī, Jalal Yildirim who lived in different periods with various backgrounds, educa-tion, culture and perception, reflected assorted perspectives in these periods, and most importantly, endeavoured to understand the core meaning in the message in question. The periodical and historical result we have reached is in the manner that includes serious conditions, reasons, facts and justifications for the association in our main theme.
