Page 35 - Importance of Honesty

On page 35, Allah provides guidance for various aspects of life. Regarding orphans, believers are advised to work honestly on their property. Mixing affairs with orphans is acceptable if done with good intentions, as Allah discerns between mischief and good intentions.

The prohibition against marrying idolatresses is emphasized, with the reminder that a believing slave is better than a free idolater. Allah's invitation is to Paradise and forgiveness, contrasting with the invitation of idolaters leading to the fire.

Guidance on menstruation is provided, instructing believers to avoid intimate relations during this period and to approach their wives only after purification. Allah appreciates repentance and purification. The metaphor of wives as tilth reinforces the idea of respectful and consensual relations.

Believers are reminded not to use Allah's name as an excuse in oaths against doing good, emphasizing the importance of sincerity in promises. Allah forgives unintentional oaths but holds individuals accountable for their intentions.
