Biological Truth & Quran

The Quran condemns when individuals attempt to redefine simple biological facts.

Example # 1: Zihar

According to the Quran, Zihar ( ظِهَار) was a form of estrangement in which a husband would declare his wife as being like his mother’s back, essentially cutting off marital relations and leaving the wife in a state of neither being married nor free to remarry. This practice is mentioned in the Quran in Sura 58: The Debate (Al-Mujaadalah) verse 2, where it is condemned, and specific rules are given for atonement if such a statement is made, emphasizing the importance of proper marital conduct and responsibilities.

58:2 Those among you who estrange their wives (by declaring them as forbidden in sex) as their mothers know full well that they are not their mothers. Their mothers are the women who gave birth to them. Indeed, they are committing a blasphemy and a falsehood. GOD is Pardoner, Forgiver.

ٱلَّذِينَ يُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِهِم مَّا هُنَّ أُمَّهَـٰتِهِمْ إِنْ أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمْ إِلَّا ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى وَلَدْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنكَرًا مِّنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَزُورًا وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ
