Sura 4

SURA 4- THE WOMEN.

BELIEVE TO HAVE BEEN REVEALED BETWEEN THE BATTLE OF UHUD AND THE SIEGE OF MEDINAH.

WOMEN

• MEN ARE WOMEN'S GUARDIANS
• THE DUTY OF WOMEN IS TO REPRODUCE AS THE GIVERS OF LIFE(GIVEN POSITIONS OF HONOURS AS MOTHERS)
• A MAN CAN MARRY UPTO FOUR WOMEN BUT THEY ALL HAVE TO BE TREATED EQUALLY
• WOMEN CANNOT MARRY A MAN IF THEY ARE A CLOSE BLOOD RELATION
• WOMEN CANT MARRY IS THEY ARE ALREADY MARRIED UNLESS SHE IS A PRISONER AND THEY HAVE THE CONSENT OF THEIR MASTER.
• IF A WOMEN IS MISTREATED BY HER HUSBAND SHE SHOULD TRY AGAIN FOR RECONCILIATION

QUOTES

• "MEN ARE APPOINTED GUARDIANS OVER WOMEN"
• "MARRY OF OTHER WOMEN, TWO OR THREE OR FOUR, BUT IF YOU FEEL YOU WILL NOT DEAL JUSTLY BETWEEN THEM THEN MARRY ONE ONE"

MARRIAGE

• A MAN MAY MARRY UP TO FOUR WOMEN BUT ALL HAVE TO BE EQUALLY TREATED
• A DOWRY IS PAID WHEN A COUPLE ARE TO MARRY TO THE FEMALE
• IF A WOMEN IS ILL TREATED BY HER HUSBAND, THEY SHOULD AIM FOR  RECONCILATION
• A MAN CANNOT MARRY THE SISTERS OF ONE OF HIS WIVES, A WOMEN HIS FATHER HAS MARRIED, A WOMEN WHO BREAST FED HIM OR HER DAUGHTER.
• A 'GO' BETWEEN IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY USUALLY HAVE THE ROLE OF SETTING UP THE MARRIAGE
• FORNICATION IS NOT ALLOWED
• A WOMEN PRISONER WHO IS ALREADY MARRIED MAY MARRY ANOTHER IF HER FIRST HUSBAND CONSENTS AND WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER

QUOTES

• "MARRY NOT A WOMEN WHOM YOUR FATHER HAS MARRIED, WHAT HAS PASSED HAS PASSED. IT WAS A FOUL AND HATEFUL PRACTISE AND AN EVIL WAY"
• "IF THEY DESIRE RECONCILIATION. ALLAH WILL BRING ABOUT ACCORD BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE"

ORPHANS

• DON'T TAKE ORPHANS' PROPERTY AWAY FROM THEM
• WHEN MATURE ENOUGH ORPHANS SHOULD BE GIVEN THEIR PROPERTY…
