What is the reason for the revelation of verse 61 of Surat An-Nur, what is its benefit, and what is its miraculous nature, especially concerning the part about eating?
One should choose words carefully when speaking to Allah. All verses of the Qur’an are great and of great benefit. This noble verse was revealed as an expansion and a mercy for the Ummah regarding matters of eating and social interaction. This came after the early Muslims refrained from eating with the blind, the lame, and the sick, fearing harm, and others refrained from eating from the homes of their relatives or eating with warriors. So, Allah revealed the verse to remove this difficulty and facilitate for them eating from the homes of relatives, friends, from their own homes, or from homes whose keys they possessed, whether they ate in groups or individually. This was a concession and facilitation from Allah.
