...” So...
...” So, in this way the announcement of your decision to enter the house is expressed beforehand and the household’s agreement is always achieved. It is interesting that,here, the Arabic phrase /tasta’nisu/ has been used, not the word ‘Tasta’oinu’, because the second word only refers to asking permission, but the first word which is derived from the Arabic word /’uns/, implies a permission that is along with kindness, familiarity, and truthfulness.
It shows that even begging permission must be done politely, friendly and without any violation. Thus if we split the sentence, many of customs that are related to this matter are summarized in it. It means not to cry, not to knock at the door hard, not to use harsh obscene words for begging permission, and also that when permission is given we must not enter the house without greeting, a salutation that is the sign of peace, tranquility, and messenger of kindness and friendship.
It is worth-studying that this ordinance,whose humane and sentimental aspect is clear, is accompanied with two sentences: /oalikum xayrun lakum/ (“That is better for you”), and /la‘allakum taoakkaran/ (“... so that you might be admonished”). This way of statement indicates that such ordinances are rooted in humane sentiments, ration, and intellect. If man contemplates them, he will get aware that they are good for him. The verse continues saying: “...
That is better for you, so that you might be admonished.” Anyway, purification and self-edification are achieved through observing people’s rights and applying Islamic customs. When we want to enter common centers, we must remember Allah and we must know that Allah watches our thoughts and behaviour. The Qur’an says: “... and Allah knows what you proclaim reveal what you conceal.”[^1] [^1] Sura Al-Ma'idah, No.
And if it is said to you: 'Go back', then go back, for it is purer for you; and Allah is cognizant of what you do." Commentary: Entering people's house needs permission, whether the giver of permission is its owner or he is some legal person.
