Commentary
‘Ar-rafasu – (to go in unto
(wives), literal meaning of the word rafasa is ‘the speech or
talk which excite sexual feelings and sensual wishes. Here it means ‘to sleep
together of husband and wife for intercourse’.
You know that
Commandments of the Divine Religion of Islam were revealed slowly and
gradually. Like the people of the Scripture (the Children of Israel), the
Muslims also used to refrain from committing sexual intercourse with their
wives after sleeping at night during the month of Ramadan. It has been softened
by means of this verse, and permitted that they can perform sexual intercourse
with their wives at night.
It discloses that
Islam doesn’t desire to cause to suffer entirely the wishes and feelings of
mankind. Moreover, it desires to put the entire works in order and according to
the Will of God Almighty. We should do any work when Allah Almighty wills and
stop doing it when it is forbidden by Him because He understands best about our
betterment and expedience. We don’t know about profit and loss of ourselves.
Besides the fasting,
there is no restriction for husband and wife during day and night. But it is
forbidden in the day time during the fasting. If anybody disobeys this
commandment, he will either keep the fasts for sixty days continuously as
punishment of one broken fast or set free a slave or feed sixty poor persons as
the case may be.
Libaasun – (raiment,
clothing), it has been revealed about close relationship of husband and wife
commanding them as clothing of one another which is an inference among
the relationship of them with the permission of God Almighty. This example of
raiment exists in many forms, for instance; their close relationship between
them, their need of each other, their perfect bodily nearness, grace and beauty
for one another, and being reason of satisfaction and facility, best of all
that, is concealing blemishes of each other also, being perfect trusty of one
another.
Please think that how much things have been made
for one to understand; by using the one word Libaasun ‘the
raiment’. It is necessary for husband and wife (both) that they should prove
themselves clothing (confident), trustworthy, secret keepers, hearty rest
provider and cause of pleasure for each other.
