Commentary
Takhtaanuuna
‘anfusakum – (you were deceiving yourselves), some weak Muslims used
to convict themselves of deception.
Baashiruu-hunna – (hold
intercourse with your wives)
In the above lesson,
it has been described that in the beginning of Islam, the Muslims did not use
to go in unto their wives during the nights of the fast like the People of the
Scripture. But some of them could not control themselves and either broke this
restriction due to being subdued of their sexual feelings or grew desire and
intention of deception in the heart of someone. God Almighty cleared this
matter and permitted to hold intercourse with their wives also like eating and
drinking at night.
‘Abtaguu
maa katabAllaahu lakum – (seek that which Allah hath ordained
for you) ‘abtagaa’ means to try to get and seek for
anything. maa katabAllahu lakum (which
Allah hath ordained for you). It indicates towards ‘the children’ and breed
which is a cause of production in the consequence of intercourse.
In addition to the
permission, a warning has also been given. That is to say; the purpose of going
in unto wives should be to produce the children. Although someone gets natural
taste also from the act of intercourse but Islam has kept the real and bigger
object from this act which is attainment of the children and augmentation of
the breed, so that the relish of an individual may become the cause of
collective gain.
It
has become evident from this guidance of Holy Qur’an that
birth control and pregnancy prohibition etc. all are the wrongful and unlawful
paths. It is the natural result of holding intercourse. One should keep hope of
it and wait for it. Only the sensuality has no object.
