Re: The Concept Of Londi In The Quran
SubhanAllah! look at this definition by Abdullah Yusuf Ali of the maisir (*gambling) i referred to above:
Gambling: *maisir: literally, a means of getting something too easily, getting a profit without working for it; hence gambling.
This is in his footnote to the above ayah (2: 219)
(p.s. and SubhanAllah, just 2 verses later comes this ayah:
"Do not marry unbeliving women until they believe; a slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman even though she allure you." (2:221)
debateably relevant but I think it is!)
