English Translation of Al-Quran
[02] Surah Al-Baqarah [The Cow]
Ayat 235. And there is no sin on you if you make a hint of betrothal or conceal it in yourself, Allah knows that you will remember them, but do not make a promise of contract with them in secret except that you speak an honourable saying according to the Islamic law (e.g. you can say to her, "If one finds a wife like you, he will be happy"). And do not consummate the marriage until the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah knows what is in your minds, so fear Him. And know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
Tafseer of Surah Al-Baqarah Ayat 235. There is no blame on you if ye make an offer of betrothal or hold it in your hearts. Allah knows that ye cherish them in your hearts: But do not make a secret contract with them except that you speak to them in terms honourable, nor resolve on the tie of marriage till the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah knows what is in your hearts, and take heed of Him; and know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing. A definite contract of remarriage for the woman during her period of 'Iddah of widowhood is forbidden as obviously unseemly, as also any secrecy in such matters. It would bind the woman at a time when she is not fitted to exercise her fullest judgement. But circumstances may arise when an offer (open for future consideration but not immediately decided) may be to her interests, and this is permissible.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 0D0" >[SAWW](PBUH) recited the Words of Allah, the Exalted, and the Glorious, about Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) who said: "O my Rubb! They have led astray many among mankind. But whosoever follows me, he verily, is of me". (14:36) and those of Prophet `Isa (Jesus) (PBUH) who said: "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise". (5:118). Then he [SAWW](PBUH) raised up his hands and said, "O Allah! My Ummah, my Ummah,'' and wept; Allah, the Exalted, said: "O Jibrael (Gabriel)! Go to Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) and ask him: `What makes you weep?" So Jibrael came to him and asked him (the reason of his weeping) and the Messenger of Allah informed him what he had said (though Allah knew it well). Upon this Allah said: "Jibrael, go to Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) and say: `Verily, We will please you with regard to your Ummah and will never displease you". [Muslim Book 01, Chapter 85, Hadith #397].
Lesson: This Hadith makes two points clear: Firstly, the kindness and mercy which the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) had for his Ummah, a full manifestation of which will be seen on the Day of Resurrection. Secondly, the love that Allah has for His Prophet, Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH). Both these benefits will then go to the advantage of the faithful Muslims as they will be then blessed with Mercy and forgiveness of Allah. May Allah include us among them.
