DEAR TJ, It’s always amusing to see ur people interpretation of Quran! If you want to see the real Tafsir of this verse, do not rely on ur friend’s interpretation, who claims that Arabic and English Tafsir are wrong and he is right!
To interpret Quran you need to consider it as a whole, you should take a look at previous and later verses, however if you read this verse carefully you will understand, it discusses the rights of orphans. It says if you want to marry an orphan, you can marry four of them but you have to treat them with justice. It has no relation with war time, or mothers of orphans, it is about marrying orphans themselves.
The only circumstance for marrying more than one woman is that the man can treat them all equally, not anything more!
Tell your friend, personal interpretation results are chaos and violence, honestly if all muslims interpret Quran like Shaf, I had no problem with them!
Well….I’m not a Muslim, and I’m not affected by all these different interpretations in any way.
It is not really my fight!!
However, I thought my friend’s interpretation of this verse made a lot of sense.
In any case, I know one thing for sure. Religions, including Islam, have invariably been twisted and politicized throughout history to serve the interests of certain groups.
For example, that’s how the big rift between Shias and Sunnis was created in the first place, right after Mohammed’s death.
And the rest is history, as the saying goes!!!!
