Women are pollution

“They will also question thee as to the courses of women, say: they are a pollution, separate yourself, therefore, from women, and approach them not, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath ordained for you. Your wives are your field, go in, therefore, to your field as ye will. God will not punish you for taking your oaths falsely.” (2:246.)

C. ~ Prohibition of sexual intercourse during menstruation is commendable, but likening women to a field and giving permission to approach them whenever (the faithful) desired will make (them) lascivious. If God does not punish one for swearing falsely, all men would become liars God will thus stand guilty of encouraging untruthfulness in speech.

“Who is he that will lend to God a goodly loan? He will double it to him again and again.” (2: 246.)

C. ~ Now why should God take a loan?* Does He, who has created the whole universe, stand in need of taking a loan from Men? No, never. Only an ignorant man can say such things of God. Was his treasury exhausted or had He become bankrupt by engaging in trade and banking? Did he act like a businessman when He promised to pay double of what was lent to him? Such things are done only by one who is bankrupt, or by one whose expenses exceed his income, but not by God.

“Some of them believed, and some were infidels; yet if God had pleased, they would not have thus wrangled, but God doth what He will.” (2: 254.)

C. ~ Do all quarrels that arise in the world proceed from Divine will? Could God commit a sin if He willed? If He could, He is no God, because no good person, let alone God, will ever do such a thing, in other words, he would never cause breach of peace or foment quarrels.

“Whatever exists on the earth or in the sky is for Him; His chair has, as it were, occupied all earth and space.” (2: 150.)

C. ~ God has created whatever exists on the earth or in the sky for the good of the soul and not for His own use, because He is called Purnakama (i.e., one whose desires are fulfilled.) He does not stand in need of anything. He must be localized indeed when He has got a chair, but such a Being can never be God as he is All-pervading.
