Kashf al-Ma'aanee of Ibn Jama'aah - Juzz 18

Follow @AhleDhikr Surah al-Mu’minoon

أَتَيْنَاهُمْ بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِمْ مُعْرِضُونَ

“And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein would have been corrupted! ” [23:71]

Meaning that the truth cannot be dictated by man, and had the truth been left for us to decide upon then the heavens and the earths would be destroyed.

Surah An-Noor

الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ ۖ

“The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a hundred stripes” [24:2]

Women are the subject to desires of men. The sexual drive of men are triggered more frequently than woman, and its causes include looking, smelling etc. For this reason, women are addressed in this Aayah before men, as they are commanded to protect themselves in fulling to prey to the desires of men.

And Allaah Knows best.
