November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.

October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Yeah Sis .... divorce comes as an option for the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) who may choose worldly adornments in preference to the Reward of Allah in the Hereafter.   There is never any compulsion in a Muslim marriage, if any of the spouses feel they aren't happy. 

Also true, Maududi has included some rational points but overall it's much too lengthy, profuse with too many unnecessary points and as you rightly said, several references to hadith adding to the needless length of his work and making it unreliable.  According to his commentary, the Prophet (pbuh) had 4 wives at this time.  That could be true as the Prophet never had more than 4 wives at any time.  However, Maududi being a hadithist, doesn't adhere to that.  He mentioned 4 wives for this commentary taking it from the set of commentaries by Abu Bakr Ibn Arabi known as "Akham al-Quran."   Al-Arabi belonged to the Maliki school (in other words, he adhered to the divisions that propped up in Islam later).  However, Al-Arabi's era was during the Muslim rule of Spain, a period when there was no Wahabiism as we see today and therefore the type of ahadith that circulated back then were less offensive.  Nonetheless, the authenticity issue was similar as today.  In a nutshell, Al-Arabi's work invariably refers to hadith narrations as "evidence" for his statements.  Thus he brings us back to square one where we have to do our own research for more likely & plausible suggestions for the various queries we deal with.  Henceforth, not all contents of Maududi's work can be accepted as confirmed either.

Furthermore, Maududi also links this tafsir with a Shariah law called "Takhyir" when husband gives the wife the choice to keep the marriage or leave.  However, there's no such thing as takhyir specified in the Quran. Both husband and the wife have their own entitlements to choose divorce if they so desire.  Verse 33:28 is an advise from Allah Almighty to the Prophet.  It doesn't need to be made complicated by linking it with intricate Shairah laws.

Jalalayn tafsir is very brief and offers no significant points to reflect upon.  It tells nothing much except for the useless hadith fib that the Prophet had 9 wives at this time. 

Then there's another tafsir from Islamic Studies Info Tafheem .... another useless tafsir with total hadith dependent contents.  Though it does give a connection with the period of Battle of the Trench, it explains Verse 33:28 exclusively with reference to a hadith by some Jabir bin Abdullah which is much the same as the specimen brother TS quoted in the second post of this thread.
