221c. And give not your
daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe. And lo! A
believing slave is better than an idolater though he please you. These invite
unto the Fire, and Allah inviteth unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness by
His Grace, and expoundeth thus His Revelations to mankind that haply they may
remember.

Commentary
Laa tunkihu – {don’t
marry (your daughters with idolaters)}, here the Muslim men are being addressed
that they should not give their daughters in marriage to idolaters. This
command is not being conveyed directly to the women that ‘do not wed
idolaters’. The reason is clear that marriage of the girl/woman is arranged
always by means of her father or patron/guardian.
‘ilan-Naar – unto the Fire, that
is to say; they call towards such faiths and acts, end of which is the
Hell.
‘ilal-Jannati
wal-mag-firati - unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness, namely; God
Almighty prevails towards Belief and Islam, and Admonishes to adopt the way of
life which leads to the Paradise and
forgiveness.
bi-‘izniH - by His
Grace, ‘izn means power, intention and sanction.
It was commanded to
the Muslims in the first part of the verse, “Wed not idolatresses till they
believe” though you like them very much. Now, it is being ordered in this part,
“Give not your daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe”. Scholars
have explained that if the husband has rejected Islam then his wife will not
remain any more as his life partner. Their marriage will be dismissed
automatically immediately, which was till now lawful. And this woman can wed
any Muslim after completion of her Iddat (the term of
probation incumbent upon woman in consequence of dissolution of marriage either
by divorce or by the death of her husband. After divorce the period is 3
months, and after the death of her husband four months and 10 days). It has
been explained also that if the husband and wife (both) were already Infidel
and now the wife has become Believer then there is no form of remaining wedlock
except that the husband embraces Islam too.
Now it has been cleared again that though you
like the idolater much, but in every condition; a Muslim slave is better than a
non Muslim, because which results of marriage with idolater were
disclosed, those are very frightful. The idolaters will preach much worse and
that will become cause of throwing you in to the Fire of Hell.
