- Abstract
In this study, “Reading the Verses of the Qur’an in Context in the scope of Sūrat al-Nisāʾ 34-35. Verses” is discussed. The problem of the study is that reading these verses detached from the context, the concepts in their content and the practices of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) related to these verses causes a series of problems in the social structure, especially in the family. The aim of the study is to examine the verses 34-35 of the Sūrat al-Nisāʾ, taking into account the context of these verses and the concepts in their content, to reveal the practices of the Prophet Mohammad about the verses mentioned, and to analyze the current approaches to the verses in question. The research is limited to the aforementioned verses. The study is based on written document analysis, one of the qualitative information collection methods. In this context, the data obtained from the literature review are examined taking into account the historical background and evaluated by text analysis from a holistic perspective. In the understanding of the verses of the Qur’an, the words and concepts in the content of the relevant verses, as well as the Qur’anic sciences such as the reason for revelation, muhkam-mutasabih, nasih-mansuh, wujuh-nezair, siyak-sibak are of great importance. Because a thought in the human mind attains an order in accordance with the meaning it corresponds to, only through words and concepts. In other words, the thoughts in the mind come to life thanks to the concepts. In addition, every new thought emerges as a result of a conceptual activity. Based on this importance, the concepts of “kavvâm, nuşûz, darb, şikâk, and ıslah” in their contents should be examined in terms of etymology in order to understand the verses 34-35 of the Sūrat al-Nisāʾ, which is the subject of our research, in a healthy way. In this context, ḳavvâm, which is an exaggerated noun derived from the root letters ḳvm in Arabic, means “who protects and watches over with all sincerity, who focuses on a subject meticulously, who heals, manages and manages things”. Nüşûz, a concept closely related to family law, means “the woman or the man’s failure to comply with marriage and family law, their discord at a level that makes it difficult or hinders the continuation of marriage and family unity, the husband and wife’s neglect of their duties towards each other, and the spouses’ mistreatment of each other.” The man in this state is called nashiz, and the woman is called nashize. In Arabic, the verb ḍrb is defined as “to strike (with hand, staff, sword, etc.), to beat, to mint money, to move, to go on a journey, to walk quickly, to undertake (a task), to fulfill it, to withdraw one’s hands (from something). It means “to give up, to travel (to seek sustenance), to prevent (someone from doing something), to marry, to mix something with something, to give an example, to explain (scorpion) sting, (heart) pounding, (sea) fluctuation”. Şiḳâḳ, derived from the Arabic verb şḳḳ, means “mutual discord and disagreement between spouses”. Derived from the Arabic verb ṣlḥ, ıṣlâḥ means “to fix a broken/irregular work or to make it better, to make it suitable”. In this regard, translators have given the following meanings to the words and concepts in verses 34 and 35 of Sūrat al-Nisāʾ: Ḳavvâm: Administrator and judge, judge, administrator, protector, responsible, chief. Nüşûz: Evil, discord, unruliness, irritability, bad faith, rebellion (by rejecting marital obligations), headstrongness. Ḍrb: To beat, punish, lightly beat, slap, temporarily remove from home, leave for a while, leave for a short time. Şiḳâḳ: Disagreement between spouses, disagreement arising, separation of spouses, disagreement between spouses reaching the point of divorce. Iṣlâḥ: To make peace, to reconcile, to bring to a solution. As can be seen, the meanings attributed to these concepts by authors and translators differ. These differences cause the relevant verses to be understood and interpreted in very different ways. In fact, it is observed that practices based on these comments cause serious problems in the social structure, especially in the family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
