Dear Saba,
Thanks. I was objecting to the information put on the wall at Harvard under the Quranic verse but on second thought I'm withdrawing my objection because it begins with "according to Islamic tradition."
According to Islamic tradition, this surah (chapter), was revealed in Medina after the Prophet’s hijra (migration) from Mecca in 622 CE. As the name of this surah implies, An-Nisa’ mainly deals with the obligations and responsibilities of women in Islamic society, but it also touches on inheritance and family law along with slavery and temporary marriage. In this verse, the Qur’an is addressing the importance of truthfulness in testimony.
