Juz 28 of 30 | Journeying our eyes through the Qur'an

The 28th Juz of the Qur’ān covers 9 surahs and all of them are madani.  Approximately four of the nine surahs address issues with regards to women. The first surah of the juz is Surah Mujadilah (the woman who contends/argues/complains).  In Surah Mujadilah the chapter opens with the complaint of the woman who is being oppressed by her husband with the practice of dhihar (a pre islamic practice of estranging the wives by equating them to their mothers). In Surah Talaq we see that Allah swt is aware of all of our intentions, and even in instances of seeking a divorce we should work towards treating each other honorably.  God’s laws are accompanied with ethical injunctions, one of our grandest tests is how we treat each other.  In Surah Tahrim, the chapter opens up with discussing a time when Rasulullah (s) was going through a difficulty with some of his wives.  Even in marital strife or conflict, the verse 6:66 encourages us to take care of our families and to help each other spiritually.  The examples of four women are taken at the end of the surah: wives of Prophet Lut, Nuh and then Sayyidah Maryam and Sayyidah Asiyah.  The examples show that our salvation is not contingent on who we are married to. Discussions on marital strife and women’s rights go back to Allah swt and how centered we are on Him.
