نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ
أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ وَقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ
وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ
مُلَاقُوهُ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
﴿2:223﴾
(2:223) Your wives are your tilth : so you may
go to your tilth as you please, *241
but you should take care of your future *242
and refrain from the displeasure of Allah. Know
it well that One Day you shall meet Him. (O
Prophet !) bear good tidings to the Believers.
*241. That is, God's purpose in the creation of
women is not merely to provide men with
recreation. Their mutual relationship is like
that between a farmer and his tilth. A farmer
approaches his field not just for the sake of
pleasure, but to acquire produce. Similarly, man
ought to approach the tilth of the human race
with the purpose of acquiring produce, that is,
offspring. What is of concern to the Law of God
is not the particular mode of cultivating one's
tilth, but rather that one should go only to
one's tilth and not elsewhere, and that one
should go there for the purpose of cultivation.
*242. These words are susceptible to two meanings. First, that a person should try to maintain the continuity of the human race so that when he departs from this world there should be others to replace him in his tasks. Second, that one should be concerned with the quality of the coming generation, i.e., how far it is endowed with religious devotion, moral excellence and humanity, and that one should do all that is possible to promote these qualities. The latter part ot the verse contains the warning that those who deliberately neglect these two duties will he severly taken to task by God.
