Does 2:223 ('your wives are a tilth') degrade women?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 2:223 The verse the question rests on. Itani has "Your women are cultivation for you", Pickthall has "Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate)", and Rodwell has "Your wives are your field"; all five then add a charge to fear God and to know that you will meet Him.
  2. 02 2:222 The verse just before, which sets the subject. Sale has "go not near them, until they be cleansed", and then "go in unto them as God hath commanded you".
  3. 03 2:187 Another verse on the marriage bed, in the setting of the fast. Itani has "They are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them"; all five print the image both ways.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The image at 2:223 is from farming. Pickthall has "Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will". Itani has "Your women are cultivation for you", and Sale has "Your wives are your tillage". In the other verses where the five print 'tilth', 'tillage' or 'cultivation', the words speak of fields, crops and harvest.

The verse does not stop at the image. Palmer has "do a previous good act for yourselves, and fear God, and know that ye are going to meet Him". The other four print the same charge.

The verse before sets the subject. At 2:222 Rodwell has "Separate yourselves therefore from women and approach them not, until they be cleansed", and then "go in unto them as God hath ordained for you". So 2:223 is about the marriage bed, and it follows a limit set in 2:222.

At 2:187 the five print an image that runs both ways. Pickthall has "They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them".

So the text prints a farming image for wives at 2:223, framed by a limit before it and by the fear of God within it, and a shared image of husband and wife at 2:187. Whether the farming image degrades is the question's judgment; the text shows the image and its frame.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this rests on

Opens with 2:223, widening across 3 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 3 passages, each with every cleared translation

3 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Talal Itani2012 And they ask you about menstruation: say, "It is harmful, so keep away from women during menstruation. And do not approach them until they have become pure. Once they have become pure, approach them in the way God has directed you." God loves the repentant, and He loves those who keep clean."

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness

Edward Henry Palmer1880 They will ask thee about menstruation: say, 'It is a hurt.' So keep apart from women in their menstruation, and go not near them till they be cleansed; but when they are cleansed come in to them by where God has ordered you verily, God loves those who turn to Him, and those who keep themselves clean

John Medows Rodwell1861 They will also question thee as to the courses of women. SAY: They are a pollution. Separate yourselves therefore from women and approach them not, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath ordained for you. Verily God loveth those who turn to Him, and loveth those who seek to be clean

George Sale1734 They will ask thee also, concerning the courses of women: Answer, they are a pollution: Therefore separate your selves from women in their courses, and go not near them, until they be cleansed.

Talal Itani published 2012

And they ask you about menstruation: say, "It is harmful, so keep away from women during menstruation. And do not approach them until they have become pure. Once they have become pure, approach them in the way God has directed you." God loves the repentant, and He loves those who keep clean."

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall published 1930

They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness

Edward Henry Palmer published 1880

They will ask thee about menstruation: say, 'It is a hurt.' So keep apart from women in their menstruation, and go not near them till they be cleansed; but when they are cleansed come in to them by where God has ordered you verily, God loves those who turn to Him, and those who keep themselves clean

John Medows Rodwell published 1861

They will also question thee as to the courses of women. SAY: They are a pollution. Separate yourselves therefore from women and approach them not, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath ordained for you. Verily God loveth those who turn to Him, and loveth those who seek to be clean

George Sale published 1734

They will ask thee also, concerning the courses of women: Answer, they are a pollution: Therefore separate your selves from women in their courses, and go not near them, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath commanded you, for God loveth those who repent, and loveth those who are clean

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

তারা তোমাকে হায়িয সম্বন্ধে জিজ্ঞাসা করে। বলুন, (নারীদের) এ সময়টা হচ্ছে একটা কষ্টকর অবস্থা‘। কাজেই তোমরা ঋতুস্রাবের সময় স্ত্রী-সঙ্গম থেকে বিরত থাকো এবং পবিত্র না হওয়া পর্যন্ত তাদের নিকটবর্তী হয়ো না। তারপর তারা যখন (হায়িয শেষে ) উত্তমরূপে পরিশুদ্ধ হবে, তখন তাদের নিকট ঠিক সেভাবে গমন করবে, যেভাবে আল্লাহ তোমাদেরকে আদেশ দিয়েছেন।(৫৫) নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ তাওবাকারীকে ভালোবাসেন এবং তাদেরকেও ভালোবাসেন যারা পাক-পবিত্রতা অবলম্বন করে।

Και σε ρωτούν (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) για την έμμηνο ρύση. Πες, «Είναι βλαβερή (για τον άνδρα αν έχει σεξουαλική επαφή με τη γυναίκα του κατά την έμμηνο ρύση της), οπότε αποφύγετε τη σεξουαλική επαφή με τις γυναίκες σας κατά την έμμηνο ρύση. Και μην έχετε σεξουαλική επαφή μαζί τους μέχρι να σταματήσει η έμμηνος ρύση τους και να κάνουν Γουσλ (Ιγτισάλ - πλήρες ντους). Και όταν το κάνουν, τότε μπορείτε να έχετε σεξουαλική επαφή μαζί τους, από εκεί όπου σας διέταξε ο Αλλάχ (δηλαδή μόνο από τον κόλπο). Στ’ αλήθεια, ο Αλλάχ αγαπά εκείνους που στρέφονται συχνά με μεταμέλεια (προς Αυτόν), καθώς αγαπά τους καθαρούς (που απέχουν από τις ακαθαρσίες και πλένονται συχνά κάνοντας Γουσλ ή Ουντού' -νίψη- για τις προσευχές τους).

Talal Itani published 2012

Permitted for you is intercourse with your wives on the night of the fast. They are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them. God knows that you used to betray yourselves, but He turned to you and pardoned you. So approach them now, and seek what God has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white streak of dawn can be distinguished from the black streak. Then complete the fast until nightfall. But do not approach them while you are in retreat at the mosques. These are the limits of God, so do not come near them. God thus clarifies His revelations to the people, that they may attain piety.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall published 1930

It is made lawful for you to go in unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them. Allah is Aware that ye were deceiving yourselves in this respect and He hath turned in mercy toward you and relieved you. So hold intercourse with them and seek that which Allah hath ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall and touch them not, but be at your devotions in the mosques. These are the limits imposed by Allah, so approach them not. Thus Allah expoundeth His revelation to mankind that they may ward off (evil)

Edward Henry Palmer published 1880

Lawful for you on the night of the fast is commerce with your wives; they are a garment unto you, and ye a garment unto them. God knows that ye did defraud yourselves, wherefore He has turned towards you and forgiven you; so now go in unto them and crave what God has prescribed for you, and eat and drink until a white thread can be distinguished by you from a black one at the dawn. Then fulfil the fast until the night, and go not in unto them, and ye at your devotions in the mosques the while. These are the bounds that God has set, so draw not near thereto. Thus does God make manifest His signs to men, that haply they may fear

John Medows Rodwell published 1861

You are allowed on the night of the fast to approach your wives: they are your garment and ye are their garment. God knoweth that ye defraud yourselves therein, so He turneth unto you and forgiveth you! Now, therefore, go in unto them with full desire for that which God hath ordained for you; and eat and drink until ye can discern a white thread from a black thread by the daybreak: then fast strictly till night, and go not in unto them, but rather pass the time in the Mosques. These are the bounds set up by God: therefore come not near them. Thus God maketh his signs clear to men that they may fear Him

George Sale published 1734

It is lawful for you on the night of the fast to go in unto your wives; they are a garment unto you, and ye are a garment unto them. God knoweth that ye defraud your selves therein, wherefore he turneth unto you, and forgiveth you. Now therefore go in unto them; and earnestly desire that which God ordaineth you, and eat and drink until ye can plainly distinguish a white thread from a black thread by the day-break: Then keep the fast until night, and go not in unto them, but be constantly present in the places of worship. These are the prescribed bounds of God, therefore draw not near them to transgress them. Thus God declareth his signs unto men, that they may fear him

The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none.

Tashmë ju është lejuar që, gjatë netëve të agjërimit, të keni marrëdhënie intime me bashkëshortet tuaja. Ato janë prehje për ju dhe ju jeni prehje për to. Allahu e ka ditur se ju po e mashtronit vetveten, andaj jua pranoi pendimin dhe jua fali gabimin. Tash e tutje bëni marrëdhënie me to dhe kërkoni atë që jua ka caktuar Allahu. Hani e pini derisa të dallohet fija e bardhë (bardhësia) e agimit nga fija e zezë (errësira e natës), pastaj plotësojeni agjërimin deri në mbrëmje. Por, mos iu afroni atyre (për marrëdhënie intime) gjatë kohës së itikafit (kur mbylleni për adhurim) në xhami. Këta janë kufijtë e Allahut, ndaj mos iu afroni. Kështu pra Allahu ua sqaron njerëzve ajetet (shpalljet dhe normat) e Tij, në mënyrë që të ruhen.

সিয়ামের রাতে তোমাদের জন্য স্ত্রী সহবাস বৈধ করা হয়েছে। তারা তোমাদের পোষাকস্বরূপ এবং তোমরাও তাদের পোষাকস্বরূপ। আল্লাহ জানেন যে, তোমরা নিজেরা নিজেদের প্রতি খিয়ানত করছিলে। সুতরাং তিনি তোমাদের তাওবা কবুল করেছেন এবং তোমাদের অপরাধ ক্ষমা করে দিয়েছেন। কাজেই তোমরা এখন তাদের সাথে মিলিত হতে পারো এবং আল্লাহ যা তোমাদের জন্য নির্ধারণ করেছেন তা কামনা করো। আর তোমরা পানাহার করো যতক্ষণ না রাতের কালোরেখা থেকে উষার সাদা রেখা স্পষ্টরূপে তোমাদের নিকট প্রকাশ না হয়।(২৫) তারপর রাতের আগমন পর্যন্ত সিয়াম পূর্ণ করো। আর তোমরা মসজিদে ই‘তিকাফরত অবস্থায় স্ত্রীদের সাথে সহবাস করো না। এগুলো আল্লাহর সীমারেখা। কাজেই এগুলোর নিকটবতী হয়ো না। এভাবে আল্লাহ তাঁর আয়াতসমূহ মানুষদের জন্য সুস্পষ্টভাবে বর্ণনা করন, যাতে তারা তাকওয়ার অধিকারী হতে পারে।

Erlaubt wurde euch, in der Nacht des Fasten(monat)s den Beischlaf mit euren Frauen auszuüben; sie sind euch ein Kleid, und ihr seid ihnen ein Kleid. Allah weiß, dass ihr euch selbst (immer wieder) betrogen habt, und so hat Er eure Reue angenommen und euch verziehen. Von jetzt an verkehrt mit ihnen und trachtet nach dem, was Allah für euch (vor)geschrieben hat. Und esst und trinkt, bis sich für euch der weiße vom schwarzen Faden der Morgendämmerung (klar) unterscheidet. Alsdann vollzieht das Fasten bis zur Nacht! Und verkehrt nicht mit ihnen, während ihr euch (zum I'tikaf) in die Moscheen zurückgezogen habt! Dies sind Allahs Grenzen, so kommt ihnen nicht zu nahe! Auf diese Weise macht Allah den Menschen Seine Zeichen klar, auf dass sie (Allah) fürchten mögen.

Επιτρέπεται για σας τη νύχτα (των ημερών) της νηστείας να πλησιάζετε τις συζύγους σας (για σεξουαλική επαφή). Οι οποίες είναι ένα κάλυμμα για σας (και προφύλαξη από τις απαγορευμένες σχέσεις), και εσείς είστε το δικό τους κάλυμμα. Ο Αλλάχ γνωρίζει ότι εξαπατούσατε τον εαυτό σας (πέφτοντας σ' αυτό που σας απαγόρεψε) (επειδή στην αρχή κατά τον μήνα Ραμαζανιού, αν κοιμόταν κανείς και ξυπνούσε πριν την αυγή, ήταν απαγορευμένο το να φάει ή να έχει σεξουαλική επαφή με τη σύζυγό του, μα κάποιοι το έκαναν είτε κατά λάθος είτε όχι), έτσι αποδέχτηκε τη μεταμέλειά σας και σας συγχώρεσε. Τώρα, λοιπόν, μπορείτε να έχετε (σεξουαλική) επαφή μαζί τους (κατά τις νύχτες του Ραμαζανιού) και να επιζητάτε αυτό που ο Αλλάχ όρισε για σας (από παιδιά). Και να τρώτε και να πίνετε μέχρι να φανεί σ’ εσάς το λευκό νήμα (φως) της αυγής από το μαύρο νήμα (σκοτάδι της νύχτας). Έπειτα να ολοκληρώνετε τη νηστεία μέχρι να πέσει η νύχτα (η δύση του ηλίου). Και όσο είστε σε κατάσταση Ι‘τικάφ (αφιερώνοντας τον εαυτό σας στη λατρεία για κάποιο χρονικό διάστημα) στα τζαμιά (και βγείτε από τα τζαμιά πηγαίνοντας σπίτια σας για κάποια ανάγκη, μετά από την οποία θα επιστρέψετε ξανά στα τζαμιά), μην τις πλησιάζετε (τις συζύγους σας σεξουαλικά, επειδή αυτό ακυρώνει την κατάσταση Ι‘τικάφ). Αυτά είναι τα όρια που τέθηκαν από τον Αλλάχ (που διαχωρίζουν τις επιτρεπτές από τις απαγορευμένες πράξεις), έτσι να μην τα πλησιάζετε (ώστε να μην πέσετε στις απαγορευμένες πράξεις). Έτσι ο Αλλάχ διευκρινίζει τα Εδάφια (και τα σημεία) Του στους ανθρώπους, μήπως και φυλαχθούν (από την τιμωρία Του μέσω της υπακοής των εντολών Tου).

तुम्हारे लिए रोज़े की रात में अपनी स्त्रियों से सहवास करना ह़लाल कर दिया गया है। वे तुम्हारे लिए वस्त्र[106] हैं तथा तुम उनके लिए वस्त्र हो। अल्लाह ने जान लिया कि तुम अपने आपसे ख़यानत[107] करते थे। तो उसने तुमपर दया करते हुए तुम्हारी तौबा स्वीकार कर ली तथा तुम्हें क्षमा कर दिया। तो अब तुम उनसे (रात में) सहवास करो और जो अल्लाह ने तुम्हारे लिए लिखा है उसे तलब करो, तथा खाओ और पियो, यहाँ तक कि तुम्हारे लिए भोर की सफेद धारी रात की काली धारी से स्पष्ट हो जाए,[108] फिर रोज़े को रात (सूर्य डूबने) तक पूरा करो। और उनसे सहवास न करो, जबकि तुम मस्जिदों में ऐतिकाफ़ में हो। ये अल्लाह की सीमाएँ हैं, अतः इनके क़रीब न जाओ। इसी प्रकार अल्लाह लोगों के लिए अपनी आयतों को स्पष्ट करता है, ताकि वे बच जाएँ।

Vi è permesso la notte del digiuno di avvicinarvi alle vostre donne: loro sono una protezione[22] per voi e voi siete una protezione per loro. Allāh sapeva che eravate nell’errore, ma Lui vi ha perdonato e vi ha assolto. Avvicinatele e cercate ciò che Allāh vi ha dato. E mangiate e bevete finché è possibile distinguere il giorno dalla notte nella luce dell’alba. Poi completate il digiuno fino a notte, e non le toccate mentre siete in ritiro nelle moschee: quelli sono i termini di Allāh: non li trasgredite! Così Allāh mostra i Suoi segni agli uomini affinché siano devoti.

Jos yra Libas [t. y. kūno apdangalas arba priedanga arba Sakan (t. y. jūs mėgaujatės gyvenimu su jomis – kaip sakoma ajoje 7:189)] jums ir jūs esate tas pats joms.

Дозволена вам в ночь поста близость со своими жёнами. Они — одеяние для вас, а вы — одеяние для них. Аллах знал[15], что вы предавали самих себя, и принял ваше покаяние и простил вас. Теперь же вступайте с ними в близость и стремитесь к тому, что Аллах предписал вам. Ешьте и пейте, пока не станет ясно различима для вас белая нить от чёрной нити — от [света] зари. Затем соблюдайте пост до ночи. Не вступайте с ними в близость, когда вы пребываете в мечетях. Это — границы Аллаха, так не приближайтесь к ним. Так Аллах разъясняет людям Свои знамения, — быть может, они станут богобоязненными.

Det är tillåtet för er att ha samlag med era fruar under natten innan fastan. De är ett skydd för er och ni är ett skydd för dem. Gud visste att ni gjorde er själva orätt men han godtog er ånger och förlät er. Därför är det nu tillåtet för er att ha samlag med dem och eftersträva det han föreskrivit för er. Ät och drick fram till dess att ni [vid horisonten] kan urskilja [gryningens] vita strimma från [nattmörkrets] svarta strimma. Fullborda därefter fastan fram till natten. Och ha inte samlag med dem så länge ni är i avskild andakt i moskéerna. Detta är Guds gränser – närma er dem inte! På så vis klargör Gud sina bestämmelser för människor för att de ska bli gudfruktiga.

Oruç gecesi kadınlarınıza yaklaşmanız size helal kılındı. Onlar sizin örtünüzdür, siz de onların örtüsüsünüz. Allah, nefsinize ihanet etmekte olduğunuzu biliyordu. Bu sebeple, tevbenizi kabul edip sizi bağışladı. Artık onlara yaklaşın ve Allah’ın sizin için takdir ettiğini dileyin. Fecir vakti geldiğinde beyaz iplik, siyah iplikten ayırt edilinceye kadar yiyin için, sonra geceye kadar orucu tamamlayın! Sizler, mescitlerde itikâfa çekilmiş olduğunuz halde kadınlarınıza yaklaşmayın! Bunlar, Allah'ın koyduğu sınırlardır. Bu sınırlara yaklaşmayın!

روزے کی راتوں میں اپنی بیویوں سے ملنا تمہارے لئے حلال کیا گیا، وه تمہارا لباس ہیں اور تم ان کے لباس ہو، تمہاری پوشیده خیانتوں کا اللہ تعالیٰ کو علم ہے، اس نے تمہاری توبہ قبول فرما کر تم سے درگزر فرمالیا، اب تمہیں ان سے مباشرت کی اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی لکھی ہوئی چیز کو تلاش کرنے کی اجازت ہے، تم کھاتے پیتے رہو یہاں تک کہ صبح کا سفید دھاگہ سیاه دھاگے سے ﻇاہر ہوجائے[1] ۔ پھر رات تک روزے کو پورا کرو[2] اور عورتوں سے اس وقت مباشرت نہ کرو جب کہ تم مسجدوں میں اعتکاف میں ہو[3]۔ یہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی حدود ہیں، تم ان کے قریب بھی نہ جاؤ۔ اسی طرح اللہ تعالیٰ اپنی آیتیں لوگوں کے لئے بیان فرماتا ہے تاکہ وه بچیں

Talal Itani2012 Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed. Guidance for humanity, and clear portents of guidance, and the Criterion. Whoever of you witnesses the month, shall fast it. But whoever is sick, or on a journey, then a number of other days. God desires ease for you, and does not desire hardship for you, that you may complete the number, and celebrate God for having guided you, so that you may be thankful.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful

Edward Henry Palmer1880 The month of Ramadhan, wherein was revealed the Koran, for a guidance to men, and for manifestations of guidance, and for a Discrimination. And he amongst you who beholds this month then let him fast it; but he who is sick or on a journey, then another number of days;- God desires for you what is easy, and desires not for you what is difficult,- that ye may complete the number, and say, 'Great is God,' for that He has guided you; haply ye may give thanks

John Medows Rodwell1861 As to the month Ramadhan in which the Koran was sent down to be man's guidance, and an explanation of that guidance, and of that illumination, as soon as any one of you observeth the moon, let him set about the fast; but he who is sick, or upon a journey, shall fast a like number of other days. God wisheth you ease, but wisheth not your discomfort, and that you fulfil the number of days, and that you glorify God for his guidance, and that you be thankful

George Sale1734 The month of Ramadan shall ye fast, in which the Koran was sent down from heaven, a direction unto men, and declarations of direction, and the distinction between good and evil. Therefore let him among you who shall be present in this month, fast the same month; but he who shall be sick, or on a journey, shall fast the like number of other days. God would make this an ease unto you, and would not make it a difficulty unto you; that ye may fulfill the number of days, and glorify God, for that he hath directed you, and that ye may give thanks

Talal Itani2012 And do not consume one another's wealth by unjust means, nor offer it as bribes to the officials in order to consume part of other people's wealth illicitly, while you know.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity, nor seek by it to gain the hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a portion of the property of others wrongfully

Edward Henry Palmer1880 Devour not your wealth among yourselves vainly, nor present it to the judges that ye may devour a part of the wealth of men sinfully, the while ye know

The translators word this verse differently

Talal Itani2012 They ask you about the crescents. Say, "They are timetables for people, and for the Hajj." It is not virtuous that you approach homes from their backs, but virtue is to be pious. So approach homes from their doors, and observe God, that you may succeed.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 They ask thee, (O Muhammad), of new moons, say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful

Edward Henry Palmer1880 They will ask thee about the phases of the moon; say, 'They are indications of time for men and for the pilgrimage.' And it is not righteousness that ye should enter into your houses from behind them, but righteousness is he who fears; so enter into your houses by the doors thereof and fear God; haply ye may prosper yet

John Medows Rodwell1861 They will ask thee of the new moons. SAY: They are periods fixed for man's service and for the Pilgrimage. There is no piety in entering your houses at the back, but piety consists in the fear of God. Enter your houses then by their doors; and fear God that it may be well with you

George Sale1734 They will ask thee concerning the phases of the moon: Answer, they are times appointed unto men, and to shew the season of the pilgrimage to Mecca. It is not righteousness that ye enter your houses by the back parts thereof, but righteousness is of him who feareth God. Therefore enter your houses by their doors; and fear God, that ye may be happy

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it1 of the 1 paragraphs signed with this study

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

These verses were chosen to read 2:223 in its own words and beside the verses on the same subject. A probe for 'tilth', 'tillage' or 'cultivation' returns 15 lines at ten verses; 2:223 is the only one of them about wives; the rest speak of fields, crops and harvest. 2:222 is here because it is the verse 2:223 follows and continues. 2:187 is here because it prints an image for husband and wife together; a probe for 'garment' or 'raiment' returns 33 lines at 21 verses, and 2:187 is the one about spouses. Whether an image degrades is a judgment the reader makes; this study shows what the five print.
