تفسیر آیات 183 تا 185 بقره(4)
بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
تکرار این مطلب که اشخاص مریض و مسافرها نباید روزه بگیرند، شاید برای این است که بعضی ها فکر می کنند روزه نگرفتن کار بدی است و با اینکه مریض یا در سفراند، اصرار در گرفتن روزه دارند. قرآن با ایت تکرار می خواهد بفهماند که روزه گرفتن برای اشخاص سالم است و مریض و مسافر هم در شرایط مناسب باید روزه را بگیرند.
ر آخر آیه می گوید با اینکه روزه سخت است و محدودیت هایی دارد، نتیجه اش آسایش مادی و معنوی است.
چون روزه برای سلامتی بسیار خوب است، هر که نتواند در ماه رمضان روزه بگیرد، بعد باید به همین تعداد روزها را روزه بگیرد.
روزه کامل به خلوص نیت و توجه به فلسفه ی روزه است.
The repetition of the ordinance of the sick and passenger in this verse and the previous one may be for the purpose that some people, think that not to fast is absolutely a disgraceful action, insist on fasting when they are sick or are on a journey, so the Qur’an, by this
repetition, makes the Muslims understand that fasting is a divine duty for the safe and sound persons while, in the same manner, not fasting is also a divine command for the sick and passengers (with their proper conditions) so that the offense of it is a sin
At the end of the verse, it pays attention to the philosophy of the divine lkinegislation of fasting once more, and says
“… Allah desires ease for you, and He does not desire hardship for you
It points to this fact that although fasting is apparently a kind of strictness and limitation, its conclusion is ease and tranquility of man, both spiritually and materially
This sentence may hint to this matter that the Divine commands are not similar to the commands of tyrants. In the case that the fulfilment of an action is very laboursome, Allah enjoins an easier duty to be performed. Therefore, the ordinance of fasting, with all its importance, was exempted for the sick, passengers, and those feeble ones unable to perform it
Then, it adds
“…So you should complete the number (of days decreed
This means that every one who is safe should fast one month a year because it is necessary for his health. For this reason, if a person is sick or on a journey during the month of Ramadan, the one must belate the accomplishment of fasting those days until the same number is completed. Even menstruous women, who are excused from establishing prayers, are not exempted from fasting at a later date
So, in the final sentence of the verse, it says
“…and exalt Allah for His having guided you, and that haply you might be
grateful (to Him
Yes, we must exalt Allah for the guidances He has endowed upon us, and be thankful to Him for all those blessings He has mercifully given us
It is noteworthy that the act of thanksgiving is mentioned with the term ‘haply’, while the matter of exalting Allah is stated conclusively. This difference of statement may be for the reason that the fulfilment of this worship (fasting) is, at any rate, the exaltation of the Essence of Allah, but thanksgiving, which is the same as using the blessings in
their proper sites and taking benefit from the effects and practical issues of fasting, has some conditions which will not be fulfilled unless those conditions be obtained, the most important of which are: a perfect sincerity, the recognition of the reality of fasting, and acknowledgement about the philosophy of fast http://www.maaref-foundation.com/english/index.htming
