And you have no ability that you be just among                                                                The women even if you wish that greedily.

Allah’s following Attribute is repeated in verses like 004:095, 004:129, 004:136, 048:012

  • اِنَّ — In-na…(ul) — Certainly (= Absolutely; definitely; doubtlessly; earnestly; indeed;       positively; really; seriously; surely; truly; verily)

This word means one who knows and is fully acquainted, aware, cognizant. However, authors added different prefixes like All, Ever, Most, Well, etc (see verse 001:001) to the plain meanings when translating it as an attribute of the Almighty Allah)

 

** Note: 004:129. The word  يُّصۡلِحَا  (= yoos-lay-haa) clearly indicates that both wife and husband are brought together by a third party which usually is some impartial arbiter.

The two conditions bad behavior and separation stated earlier lay down the foundation of why the spouses are not together. In such situations almost always the best is a third party’s action which is stated in the passive voice.

It is inaccurate to translate this word in the active voice as is done by some translators as if the spouses were to take this action.

** Note 004:128. Many authors have translated the word  النِّسَآءِ  in this verse as wives . By doing this they have limited the direction in this verse to only husbands.

However, the word النِّسَآءِ  in this verse  means women and as such it is not limited to just wives. It extends to a father, brother, uncle, relative, guardian, tribal leader, judge, bureaucrat and anyone else who has any form of control to contract the marriage of a woman.

Further down the verse saying you love to marry them but you don’t want them .. to share in the inheritance mandated for them in the scripture further supports that this word indicates all women and not just one’s wives.
