whole life is based. They are really playing with truth. They are arguing against their own knowledge. They have no<br />

authority in any scripture, and indeed they are so slippery that they hold fast to no scripture at all. (43.20)<br />

DELIGHTS:<br />

32:17 - Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them as a<br />

reward for their (good) Deeds. 3650<br />

3650 Delights of the eye: an idiom for that which pleases most and gives most satisfaction. In our present state we can<br />

scarcely imagine the real Bliss that will come to us in the Future. (32.17)<br />

37:42 - Fruits (Delights) and they (shall enjoy) honor and dignity. 4062<br />

4062 "Fruits": Cf. xxxvi. 57, and n. 4003. The Garden's Delights are figured forth from parallel experiences in our present<br />

life, and follow an ascending order: Food and Fruits; Gardens of Bliss, (with all their charm, design, greenery, birds'<br />

songs, fountains, etc.); the Home of Happiness and Dignity, with congenial company seated on Thrones; Delicious<br />

Drinks from crystal Springs, for social pleasure; and the society of Companions of the opposite sex, with beauty and<br />

charm but none of the grossness too often incidental to such companionship in this life. (37.42)<br />

55:48 - Containing all kinds (of trees and delights)<br />

Hadith Qudsi<br />

Hadith Qudsi 7<br />

Your Lord delights at a shepherd who, on the peak of a mountain crag, gives the call to prayer and prays. Then Allah<br />

(glorified and exalted be He) say: Look at this servant of Mine, he gives the call to prayer and performs the prayers; he is in<br />

awe of Me. I have forgiven My servant [his sins] and have admitted him to Paradise.<br />

DESERTION:<br />

4:128 - If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part there is no blame on them if<br />

they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even<br />

though men's souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practice self-restraint Allah is<br />

well-acquainted with all that ye do. 638<br />

638 To protect the woman's economic interests, various rules are prescribed for dower in marriage. But the sanctity of<br />

marriage itself is greater than any economic interests. Divorce is, of all things permitted, most hateful to Allah.<br />

Therefore if a breach between husband and wife can be prevented by some economic consideration, it is better to<br />

make that concession than to imperil the future of the wife, the children, and probably the husband also. Such<br />

concessions are permissible, in view of the love of wealth ingrained in unregenerate man, but a recommendation is<br />

made that we should practise self-restraint, and do what we can to come to an amicable settlement without any<br />

economic sacrifice on the part of the woman. (4.128)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 3.630 Narrated by<br />

Aisha<br />

Regarding the explanation of the following verse: "If a wife fears Cruelty or desertion On her husband's part." (4.128) A man<br />

may dislike his wife and intend to divorce her, so she says to him, "I give up my rights, so do not divorce me." The above<br />

verse was revealed concerning such a case.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 3.859 Narrated by<br />

Aisha<br />

The following verse: If a woman fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part (i.e. the husband notices something<br />

unpleasant about his wife, such as old age or the like, and wants to divorce her, but she asks him to keep her and provide for<br />

her as he wishes), (4.128) "There is no blame on them if they reconcile on such basis."<br />

DESERT ARABS:<br />

9:90 - And there were among the desert Arabs (also) Men who made excuses and came to claim<br />

exemption; and those who were false to Allah and His apostle (Merely) sat inactive. Soon will<br />

a grievous penalty seize the unbelievers among them. 1342<br />
