honor him and to draw our attention to his lofty status.

 Allah's covenant with His prophets

  The practice of 'Dhihar', and its abolition by the Quran:
Dhihar (Jela) was a false practice followed by people during the pre-Islamic
period. It is to make one's wife haram for himself by saying, "You are for me
like my mother." The holy Qur'an abolished this false practice by declaring that
one's wife can never be his mother, but the mother is only she who gave birth to
him. The Qur'an also commanded the husband to take back his wife, and expiate
for the sin of the false statement.
