Surah An-Nisa Ayat 21 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

 

79. From this we learn that after the marriage is fully consummated the complete Mehr becomes payable to the wife. But in the case where the husband has already given the full Mehr (Dowry)and divorces the wife before consummation of marriage, he is entitled to take half of the Mehr (Dowry) back.

80. At the time of Nikah the husband should be made to recite the Kalimas so that it will strengthen the marriage vows. The Kalima is also recited to make a promise firm. This verse is proof of the recitation of the Kalima. It is for this reason that it is customary in India to let both the husband and wife recite the Kalima before the marriage vows are taken.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Nisa verse 21 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nisa ayat 19 which provides the complete commentary from verse 19 through 22.

(4:21) How can you take it away after each one has enjoyed the other, and they have taken a firm covenant from you?[31]

Ala-Maududi

(4:21) How can you take it away after each one has enjoyed the other, and they have taken a firm covenant from you?[31]

31. The ‘firm covenant’ in this verse refers to marriage. For marriage is a firm covenant of fidelity. It is only because a woman has faith in the firmness of this covenant that she entrusts herself to a man. If a man decides of his own will to break it, he has no right to withdraw the amount he offered his wife by way of bridal-due at the time of entering into that covenant. For further details See (Surah Al-Baqarah, ayat 229) note 251.
