Dear brother Umair,  
 
I am sorry your question has to remain unanswered unless Dr. Qamar Zaman himself spares some time to elaborate the word "Zana".  
As a matter of fact, Dr. Sahib has discovered a meaning of this word that is also revolutionary and has turned all the old philosophy originating from this word upside down. We are still awaiting a thorough study on this topic, as Dr. Sahib's latest interpretation has not reached us yet.  
 
God bless you.

Comments by: Dr. Qamar Zaman On Friday, March 12, 2010
In Islamic Jurisprudence the sexual relation with someones premission is considered Zina bil Raza, whereas without someone’s permission is Zina bil Jabar  
 
There is no differentiation between the two kinds in Quran. So the result we infer is  
1. either the ayat is not about sexual relation or  
2. there is no mention of sexual relations with consent.  
 
In either case there is something wrong in the understanding of the Ayyat. Let us study the Verse 2 & 3 of Sura 24 with its traditional translation.  
الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ وَلا تَأْخُذْكُمْ بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَلْيَشْهَدْ عَذَابَهُمَا طَائِفَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ  
الزَّانِي لا يَنْكِحُ إلا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ وَحُرِّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ  
Verse no 2... As for the Adulteress and the Adulterer -- flog each of them with hundred stripes, and let not compassion with them keep you away from this law of God. If you believe in God and the last day and let a group of believers witness their chastisement.  
Verse no 3... The Adulterer marries no other than an adulteress or a Mushrikah, the Adulteresses ,........None else marries her other than an adulterer or a Mushrik and this is forbidden for the believers.  
 
Keeping aside the wrong interpretations of the Ayyat let us see what we understood from this translation,  
1...Male or female both are to be treated equally and every one of them to be flogged hundred stripes,  
2...A group of persons must see the flogging of the two.  
Now comes the surprise,  
3....An adulterer does not marry any woman except an adulteress or Mushrikah.  
4....And vice versa an adulteress gets married to only adulterer.  
Is this declaration correct ?  
 
We don’t see this attitude in any society. Even most sexually corrupt person wants his wife to be pure and faithful to him. Further we don’t see him marrying a Mushrikah (مشرکہ) (woman who is not Muslim and usually worships idols) and vice versa.  
 
If this observation is incorrect by any interpretations at any time what then ZINA means.  
-- Why an adulterer and Mushrik bracketed together,  
-- What is the similarity between the two.
 
 
Dear Umair am I making some sense please tell me so that I may continue.

Dr Qamar sahib please continue the answer of this question in some detail, but consolidate the reply dated 12/3/2010 about premarital sex and the marriage contracts,i think both inquiries has some relation to satisfy the answer.

Salam bhai,

Dear brothers,  
 
Dr. Sahib is probably extremely busy winding up his quite long travelling schedule. I'm sure he will come back to the topic and explain the puzzle of "ZINA" to your satisfaction.  
 
Meanwhile, I take the liberty, while seeking the permission of Dr. Sahib, to give you a small hint about the meaning of the word "ZINA". This will keep you busy for some time putting your comprehensions of the relevant SURAS in order, before you can read Dr. Sahib's detailed reply.  
 
The word ZINA actually means ..........DISTORTION OF IDEOLOGY........ Zani is the one who 'distorts' an ideology.  
Zania (probably) here can be the female of ZANI or it can be a Group, (Jamaat) or Gang or Community committing this crime, as a Jamaat in Arabic is female and the word for it precedes a ۃ of 'taanis" (feminine).  
 
Of course, accordingly, "Al-Zani" or "Al-Zania" are those who commit the crime of distorting the ideology of Islam.  
Hence they and Mushrikeen are given equivalent status by the Almighty.  
 
See the meaning of "distortion":  
 
"alter shape: to bend, twist, stretch, or force something out of its usual or natural shape"  
 
I write the above lines with the inspiration from Dr. Sahib's research.  
 
God bless you all.  
 
 
 

Comments by: Dr. Qamar Zaman On Thursday, April 01, 2010
dear Brothers and sisters May God bless you all,  
I am sorry not to complete my answer about ZINA. There are other querries to be answered too.However I wll try to add something about verse2of sura 24.  
the word translated for whipping is "FAJLEDOO" Which is derived from root letters "Jeem Lam Dal"the word "Jild",Mujallad etc are also derived from the same root letters.The word Jild means skin which protects the body from outside damages.Mujallad is a book which is protected from wear and tear by its hard coverings.So the basic meaning of basic root letters "jeem Lam dal" is to protect.  
The word for "whip" used for whipping in arabic is "Saut" which is used for the same meaning in verse13 of sura 89.  
See also dictionary by Abdul waheed page 1300 and 1551.  
 
In sura 7 Fahash is defined as......... following someones own desires which is again the "shirk".  
From verse 26 onwards Quran says,  
""Oh children of Adam(human beings) undoubtedly we have presented a dress to you which keeps you away from your evils (the word used is from "soo" which means evils) and good looks.i.e dress of "TAQWA" and this is excellent.AND THESE ARE FROM THE ORDERS OF GOD.""  
Once you defined that you are given a dress which protects you from evils ie QURAN, rest of the ayat become so easy to understand that " Fahash "is not in relation to sex but in relation to leaving the creators testaments  
and Zina is not sexual but in relation to mutilating the understanding of Gods commands.This is the reason why Zina and Shirk are bracketed together in verse 2 of sura24.  
I will try to explain it in more detail when I come back

May he bless you with peace and security.

Brothers Adnan Khan and Umair Hamidani,  
 
Urdu translation of Dr. Sahib's above reply for you. However, friends, such facility is not guaranteed always.  
 
پیارے بھائیو اور بہنو : اللہ آپ پر اپنی رحمتیں نازل کرے۔  
 
مجھے افسوس ھے کہ میں زنا کے بارے میں اپنا جواب مکمل نہیں کر سکا۔ اور بھی کئی استفسارات تشنئہ جواب پڑے ہیں۔ تاہم میں کوشش کرتا ھوں کہ سورۃ 24 کی آیت 2 کے ضمن میں کچھ اضافہ کروں۔  
کوڑے لگانے کے لئے جس لفظ کا ترجمہ کیا گیا ھے وہ " فاجلدو " ھے جو مادے ج ل د سے ماخوذ ھے۔ الفاظ "جلد" ، "مجلد" وغیرہ بھی اسی مادے سے اخذ کیے گئے ھیں۔ لفظ جلد کا مطلب "کھال" ہے جو کہ جسم کو بیرونی نقصانات سے محفوظ کرتی ہے۔ "مجلد " ایک کتاب کو کہا جاتا ھے جو کہ گھسنے اور پھٹنے سے اپنے مضبوط کور کے ذریعے محفوظ کی جاتی ھے۔ پس بنیادی مادے کے الفاظ کا معنی {ج ل د } "محفوظ کرنا" ھے۔  
البتہ کوڑے لگانے کیلئے لفظ عربی زبان میں "صوت" ھے جو کہ اسی معنی میں سورت 89 کی آیت 13 میں استعمال ھوا ھے۔ عبد الوحید صاحب کی ڈکشنری ملاحظہ فرمائیں - صفحہ ۱۳۰۰ اور ۱۵۵۱۔  
 
سورت نمبر ۷ میں لفظ "فحش " کی تعریف اس طرح کی گئی ھے:  
 
اپنی ذاتی خواہشوں کا اتباع کرنا - یہ پھر وہی شرک ھے۔  
 
آیت 26 سے آگے قرآن فرماتا ھے:  
" اے بنی آدم [انسانوں] یقیناً ہم نے تمہارے لئے ایک لباس پیش کیا ھے جو تمہیں تمہاری برائیوں سے دور رکھتا ھے [یہاں جو لفظ استعمال کیا گیا ھے وہ "سوء" ھے جس کا مطلب برائی ھے] اور اچھی شکل دیتا ھے، یعنی "لباس التقوی" اور یہ بہترین لباس ھے اور یہ اللہ کے احکامات میں سے ھے"۔  
جب آپ یہ تعریف مان لیتے ہیں کہ آپ کو ایک ایسا لباس دیا گیا ہے جو آپ کی حفاظت کرتا ھے برائیوں سے، یعنی قرآن، تو باقی کی آیت کو سمجھنا آسان ہو جاتا ھے، یعنی کہ لفظ "فحش" کا تعلق سیکس سے نہیں ھے بلکہ خالق کے احکامات کوچھوڑ دینے سے ھے۔  
اور زنا بھی جنس سے متعلق نہیں بلکہ آللہ کے احکا م کی تعبیرات کو بگاڑ دینے سے ھے۔ اور یہی وجہ ھے کہ زنا اور شرک کو آیت ۲، سورۃ ۲۴ میں مشترکہ کیٹیگری میں رکھا گیا ھے۔  
میں اس موضوع کو اپنی واپسی پر زیادہ تفصیل میں بیان کرنے کی کوشش کرونگا  
 
God bless you.

AOA,  
"Zina is not sexual but in relation to mutilating the understanding of Gods commands.This is the reason why Zina and Shirk are bracketed together in verse 2 of sura24. "  
 
Is illicit sexual relationship is allowed by Allah SWT? If not then I think there can be one more way to look at it.  
 
Anyone who involved in an illicit sexual relationship he/she follows his /her desire instead of following the command of Allah SWT, which is also shirk.  
 
Wassalam
