Through this verse another important order for the widows in their waiting terms has been notified, saying: ``There is no guilt on you, if you indirectly propose marriage to such widows, or to cherish them in your hearts. Allah knows that you would soon be mindful of them.''

      It is natural for a widow who has given up her husband and guardian, to think over her fate and destiny, and to see what is the best for her to be done; but some considerations are also to be observed, as to ascertain if there is any unborn issue of the dissolved marriage, and also for the mourning and respect of the deceased husband. That is to say, the contract of a new marriage should not be made so soon, until the book, as the verse has mentioned, has reached its terms.

      If any one ties the knot of marriage in the waiting period of widowhood, their marriage is void of value and unlawful; and if they deliberately and knowingly do that, they become unlawful to each other.

      The verse then encourage people to observe the above laws strictly by some sort of threatening as: ``And know that Allah knows what is in your hearts! Then beware of Him! and know that Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.''
