Question:
Salam alaykum sayiddi,
1.Would you please give us the explanation of the verses 43 to 46 of Surat El-Qasas.
2.What is the meaning of “ma malaket aymanukum” in our days? or is related only to wars? In the past do they marry “ma malaket aymanuhum“? deos this word regards only females?
3.Do you have an official website for tafsir?
Thank you
Answer:
Alaykum as-Salam,
1. The verses are self-explanatory, see:
http://islamawakened.org/Quran/default.htm
2. The meaning of that expression means slaves. The latter were often war captives originally, but could also originate from the offspring of slaves in peacetime. Slave owners did have the option to marry slaves, in which case the latter became free persons. They included both males and females.
3. We do not, but we recommend http://www.altafsir.com/
