AND THOSE OF YOUR SLAVES WHO ASK FOR A WRITING (CONTRACT) TO BUY THEIR FREEDOM, WRITE THE CONTRACT FOR THEM, IF YOU KNOW IT TO BE GOOD FOR THEM. AND GIVE THEM SOME OF THE WEALTH OF ALLAH THAT HAS COME TO YOU. AND FORCE NOT YOUR SLAVE GIRLS TO PROSTITUTION, FOR OBTAINING THE GOODS OF THIS WORLD'S LIFE; IF THEY WISH TO LIVE IN CHASTITY. WHOEVER CONSTRAINS THEM TO THAT, KNOW THAT AFTER THEY BEING COMPELLED, ALLAH IS ALL-FORGIVING, COMPASSIONATE.

THE COMMENTARY URGING AN EASY MARRIAGE VERSE NO.32ِ34 These verses allude to another important way of challenge against fornication and obscene acts, which passes through a simple and easy marriage. It is evident that, to wind up the stuff of sinning, our natural desires and cravings must be correctly satisfied.

In this respect, negative action or reaction will not do:ِ ``Marry those among you who are spouseless, and also the righteous of your male and female slave.'' The argument has now been driven from sex ethics to marriage. Islam strictly recommends any male or female without a mate; to marry if he or she can afford. There is no objection if a Muslim decides to marry a mate in a lower circle or class, like a slave or servant.

In Islam, there is no distinction between a Lord of Qoraish, and a negro of HABASH (ABYSSINIA), except in their measure of piety and virtue. This is because God's Mercy is for all His creatures, and is not confined to a certain class of peoples.

Usually the main excuse for living a bachelor is being poor, and saying I can't afford:ِ ``If they are poor, Allah will enrich then out of His Grace.'' If a man cannot afford the expenses of marriage like dower and [ 349 ] alimony, he must wait and keep chaste until Allah enrich him. His or her cravings must be satisfied within marriage, if they want to live a refined life, with social safety and physical and spiritual health.
