[24].Surah An-Nur [The Light]: Ayat 6-7



৬. এবং যাহারা নিজেদের স্ত্রীর প্রতি অপবাদ আরোপ করে অথচ নিজেরা ব্যতীত তাহাদের কোন সাক্ষী নাই, তাহাদের প্রত্যেকের সাক্ষ এই হইবে যে, সে আল্লাহর নামে চারবার শপথ করিয়া বলিবে যে, সে অবশ্যই সত্যবাদী,
৭. এবং পঞ্চমবারে বলিবে যে, সে মিথ্যাবাদী হইলে তাহার উপর নামিয়া আসিবে আল্লাহর লা’নত।
 
Ayat 6. And for those who accuse their wives, but have no witnesses except themselves, let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies (i.e. testifies four times) by Allah that he is one of those who speak the truth.
Ayat 7. And the fifth (testimony) (should be) the invoking of the Curse of Allah on him if he be of those who tell a lie (against her).

[Tafseer] And for those who launch a charge against their spouses, and have (in support) no evidence but their own, their solitary evidence (can be received) if they bear witness four times (with an oath) by Allah that they are solemnly telling the truth; The case of married persons is different from that of outsiders. If one of them accuses the other of unchastity, the accusation partly reflects on the accuser as well. Moreover, the link which unites married people even where differences supervene, is sure to act as a steadying influence against the concoction of false charges of unchastity particularly where divorce is allowed (as in Islam) for reasons other than unchastity. Suppose a husband catches a wife in adultery. In the nature of things four witnesses-or even one outside witness-would be impossible. Yet after such an experience it is against human nature that he can live a normal married life. The matter is then left to the honour of the two spouses. If the husband can solemnly swear four times to the fact, and in addition invoke a curse on himself if he lies, that is prima facie evidence of the wife's guilt. But if the wife swears similarly four times and similarly invokes a curse on herself, she is in law acquitted of the guilt. If she does not take this step, the charge is held proved and the punishment follows. In either case the marriage is dissolved, as it is against human nature that the parties can live together happily after such an incident.  And the fifth (oath) (should be) that they solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on themselves if they tell a lie. 

Hazrat Abu Said Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The life of the world is sweet and green. Allah makes you generations succeeding one another so that He may try you in respect of your actions. So beware of the beguilements of the world and those of women. The first trial of Banu Israel was through women".
[Muslim Book 36, Chapter 01, Hadith # 6606].  

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nur Ayat 07." invoking of the Curse of Allah on him" Wealth and property of this world are favourites of everyone like the fresh fruit which is sweet, delicious and attractive for all. Everyone likes them and is attracted towards them. The most delicious fruit of this world is woman but at the same time it is the most baneful. One who inclines towards wealth and women and ignores the Islamic legal injunctions, has at stake both his Deen and Faith; and one who benefits from them keeping oneself within the bounds of Islam, would be safe from their ruinous effects.
