بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ وَّ خَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَ بَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِیْرًا وَّ نِسَآءًۚ-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْ تَسَآءَلُوْنَ بِهٖ وَ الْاَرْحَامَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلَیْكُمْ رَقِیْبًا(۱)
O MEN, FEAR your Lord who created you from a single cell, and from it created its mate, and from the two of them dispersed men and women (male and female) in multitudes. So fear God in whose name you ask of one another (the bond of) relationships. God surely keeps watch over you.
O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you.
وَ اٰتُوا الْیَتٰمٰۤى اَمْوَالَهُمْ وَ لَا تَتَبَدَّلُوا الْخَبِیْثَ بِالطَّیِّبِ ۪- وَ لَا تَاْكُلُوْۤا اَمْوَالَهُمْ اِلٰۤى اَمْوَالِكُمْؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حُوْبًا كَبِیْرًا(۲)
Give to the orphans their possessions, and do not replace things of your own which are bad with things which are good among theirs, and do not intermix their goods with your own and make use of them, for this is a grievous crime.
To orphans restore their property (When they reach their age), nor substitute (your) worthless things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by mixing it up) with your own. For this is indeed a great sin.
وَ اِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تُقْسِطُوْا فِی الْیَتٰمٰى فَانْكِحُوْا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَآءِ مَثْنٰى وَ ثُلٰثَ وَ رُبٰعَۚ-فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تَعْدِلُوْا فَوَاحِدَةً اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْؕ-ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰۤى اَلَّا تَعُوْلُوْاؕ(۳)
If you fear you cannot be equitable to orphan girls (in your charge, or misuse their persons), then marry women who are lawful for you, two, three, or four; but if you fear you cannot treat so many with equity, marry only one, or a maid or captive. This is better than being iniquitous.
If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.
وَ اٰتُوا النِّسَآءَ صَدُقٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةًؕ-فَاِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَیْءٍ مِّنْهُ نَفْسًا فَكُلُوْهُ هَنِیْٓــٴًـا مَّرِیْٓــٴًـا(۴)
Give to women their dowers willingly, but if they forego part of it themselves, then use it to your advantage.
And give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and enjoy it with right good cheer.
وَ لَا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهَآءَ اَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِیْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ قِیٰمًا وَّ ارْزُقُوْهُمْ فِیْهَا وَ اكْسُوْهُمْ وَ قُوْلُوْا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا(۵)
Do not entrust (their) property God has given you to maintain (On trust), to those who are immature; but feed them and clothe them from it, and speak to them with kindness.
To those weak of understanding Make not over your property, which Allah hath made a means of support for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice.
وَ ابْتَلُوا الْیَتٰمٰى حَتّٰۤى اِذَا بَلَغُوا النِّكَاحَۚ-فَاِنْ اٰنَسْتُمْ مِّنْهُمْ رُشْدًا فَادْفَعُوْۤا اِلَیْهِمْ اَمْوَالَهُمْۚ-وَ لَا تَاْكُلُوْهَاۤ اِسْرَافًا وَّ بِدَارًا اَنْ یَّكْبَرُوْاؕ-وَ مَنْ كَانَ غَنِیًّا فَلْیَسْتَعْفِفْۚ-وَ مَنْ كَانَ فَقِیْرًا فَلْیَاْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِؕ-فَاِذَا دَفَعْتُمْ اِلَیْهِمْ اَمْوَالَهُمْ فَاَشْهِدُوْا عَلَیْهِمْؕ-وَ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ حَسِیْبًا(۶)
And test (and try) the orphans until they are of marriageable age. If you find they have acquired sound judgement, then hand over their property to them; but devour not their wealth, nor use it up hastily out of fear that soon they will grow up (and demand it). And (the guardian) who is rich should abstain from spending much (of their wealth); and he who is poor should use only as much as is fair. And when you give back their possessions have this witnessed, (and remember) that God is sufficient to take all account.
Make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; if then ye find sound judgment in them, release their property to them; but consume it not wastefully, nor in haste against their growing up. If the guardian is well-off, Let him claim no remuneration, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable. When ye release their property to them, take witnesses in their presence: But all-sufficient is Allah in taking account.
لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِیْبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَ الْاَقْرَبُوْنَ ۪- وَ لِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِیْبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَ الْاَقْرَبُوْنَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْهُ اَوْ كَثُرَؕ-نَصِیْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًا(۷)
Men have a share in what the parents and relatives leave behind at death; and women have a share in what the parents and relatives leave behind. Be it large or small a legal share is fixed.
From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and a share for women, whether the property be small or large,-a determinate share.
وَ اِذَا حَضَرَ الْقِسْمَةَ اُولُوا الْقُرْبٰى وَ الْیَتٰمٰى وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنُ فَارْزُقُوْهُمْ مِّنْهُ وَ قُوْلُوْا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا(۸)
And when the relatives and orphans and the needy collect at the time of the division (of property) provide for them too, and talk kindly to them.
But if at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed them out of the (property), and speak to them words of kindness and justice.
وَ لْیَخْشَ الَّذِیْنَ لَوْ تَرَكُوْا مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ ذُرِّیَّةً ضِعٰفًا خَافُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ ۪- فَلْیَتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ لْیَقُوْلُوْا قَوْلًا سَدِیْدًا(۹)
Let people fear the day when they leave small children behind them unprovided, and how concerned they would be for them. So fear God and say the right things to them.
Let those (disposing of an estate) have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own if they had left a helpless family behind: Let them fear Allah, and speak words of appropriate (comfort).
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَاْكُلُوْنَ اَمْوَالَ الْیَتٰمٰى ظُلْمًا اِنَّمَا یَاْكُلُوْنَ فِیْ بُطُوْنِهِمْ نَارًاؕ-وَ سَیَصْلَوْنَ سَعِیْرًا۠(۱۰)
Those who devour the possessions of the orphans unjustly devour only fire, and will surely burn in Hell.
Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into their own bodies: They will soon be enduring a Blazing Fire!
یُوْصِیْكُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْۤ اَوْلَادِكُمْۗ-لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْاُنْثَیَیْنِۚ-فَاِنْ كُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَیْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَۚ-وَ اِنْ كَانَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُؕ-وَ لِاَبَوَیْهِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ اِنْ كَانَ لَهٗ وَلَدٌۚ-فَاِنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ لَّهٗ وَلَدٌ وَّ وَرِثَهٗۤ اَبَوٰهُ فَلِاُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُۚ-فَاِنْ كَانَ لَهٗۤ اِخْوَةٌ فَلِاُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ یُّوْصِیْ بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍؕ-اٰبَآؤُكُمْ وَ اَبْنَآؤُكُمْ لَا تَدْرُوْنَ اَیُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعًاؕ-فَرِیْضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا(۱۱)
As for the children, God decrees that the share of the male is equivalent to that of two females. If they consist of women only, and of them more than two, they will get two-thirds of the inheritance; but in case there is one, she will inherit one half. The parents will each inherit a sixth of the estate if it happens the deceased has left a child; but if he has left no children, and his parents are his heirs, then the mother will inherit one-third; but if he has left brothers, the mother will inherit one-sixth after payment of legacies and debts. Of parents and children you do not know who are more useful to you. These are the decrees of God who knows all and is wise.
Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases ('s) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-knowing, Al-wise.
وَ لَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ اَزْوَاجُكُمْ اِنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌۚ-فَاِنْ كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ یُّوْصِیْنَ بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍؕ-وَ لَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ اِنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ لَّكُمْ وَلَدٌۚ-فَاِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ تُوْصُوْنَ بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍؕ-وَ اِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ یُّوْرَثُ كَلٰلَةً اَوِ امْرَاَةٌ وَّ لَهٗۤ اَخٌ اَوْ اُخْتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُۚ-فَاِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ فَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فِی الثُّلُثِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ یُّوْصٰى بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍۙ-غَیْرَ مُضَآرٍّۚ-وَصِیَّةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَلِیْمٌؕ(۱۲)
Your share in the property the wives leave behind is half if they die without an issue, but in case they have left children, then your share is one-fourth after the payment of legacies and debts; and your wife shall inherit one-fourth of what you leave at death if you die childless, if not, she will get one-eighth of what you leave behind after payment of legacies and debts. If a man or a woman should die without leaving either children or parents behind but have brother and sister, they shall each inherit one-sixth. In case there are more, they will share one-third of the estate after payment of legacies and debts without prejudice to others. This is the decree of God who knows all and is kind.
In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. If the man or woman whose inheritance is in question, has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two, they share in a third; after payment of legacies and debts; so that no loss is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-knowing, Most Forbearing.
تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ یُدْخِلْهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاؕ-وَ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ(۱۳)
These are the limits set by God, and those who follow the commandments of God and the Prophet, will indeed be admitted to gardens with streams of water running by, where they will for ever abide; and this will be success supreme.
Those are limits set by Allah: those who obey Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever) and that will be the supreme achievement.
وَ مَنْ یَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ وَ یَتَعَدَّ حُدُوْدَهٗ یُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِیْهَا ۪- وَ لَهٗ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ۠(۱۴)
Those who disobey God and the Prophet and exceed the bounds of law, will be taken to Hell and abide there for ever and shall suffer despicable punishment.
But those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and transgress His limits will be admitted to a Fire, to abide therein: And they shall have a humiliating punishment.
وَ الّٰتِیْ یَاْتِیْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مِنْ نِّسَآىٕكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُوْا عَلَیْهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةً مِّنْكُمْۚ-فَاِنْ شَهِدُوْا فَاَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ فِی الْبُیُوْتِ حَتّٰى یَتَوَفّٰهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ اَوْ یَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِیْلًا(۱۵)
If any of your women is guilty of unnatural offence, bring four of your witnesses to give evidence; if they testify against them, retain them in the houses until death overtakes them or God provides some other way for them.
If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way.
وَ الَّذٰنِ یَاْتِیٰنِهَا مِنْكُمْ فَاٰذُوْهُمَاۚ-فَاِنْ تَابَا وَ اَصْلَحَا فَاَعْرِضُوْا عَنْهُمَاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِیْمًا(۱۶)
If two (men) among you are guilty of such acts then punish both of them. But if they repent and reform, let them be, for God accepts repentance and is merciful.
If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful.
اِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ لِلَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ السُّوْٓءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ یَتُوْبُوْنَ مِنْ قَرِیْبٍ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ یَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا(۱۷)
God does accept repentance, but only of those who are guilty of an evil out of ignorance yet quickly repent, and God turns to them again, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.
Allah accept the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allah turn in mercy: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
وَ لَیْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِۚ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ اِنِّیْ تُبْتُ الْـٰٔنَ وَ لَا الَّذِیْنَ یَمُوْتُوْنَ وَ هُمْ كُفَّارٌؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا(۱۸)
But (He does not accept) the repentance of those who continue indulging in evil until death draws near and they say: "We now repent;" nor of those who die disbelieving. For them We have a grievous retribution in wait.
Of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, "Now have I repented indeed;" nor of those who die rejecting Faith: for them have We prepared a punishment most grievous.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا یَحِلُّ لَكُمْ اَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَآءَ كَرْهًاؕ-وَ لَا تَعْضُلُوْهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوْا بِبَعْضِ مَاۤ اٰتَیْتُمُوْهُنَّ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّاْتِیْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَیِّنَةٍۚ-وَ عَاشِرُوْهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِۚ-فَاِنْ كَرِهْتُمُوْهُنَّ فَعَسٰۤى اَنْ تَكْرَهُوْا شَیْــٴًـا وَّ یَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ فِیْهِ خَیْرًا كَثِیْرًا(۱۹)
O believers, you are not allowed to take perforce the women (of dead relatives) into your heritage, or tyrannise over them in order to deprive them of what you have given them, unless they are guilty of open adultery. Live with them with tolerance and justice even if you do not care for them. For it may well be you may not like a thing, yet God may have endued it with much goodness.
O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good.
وَ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّمُ اسْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجٍ مَّكَانَ زَوْجٍۙ-وَّ اٰتَیْتُمْ اِحْدٰىهُنَّ قِنْطَارًا فَلَا تَاْخُذُوْا مِنْهُ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-اَتَاْخُذُوْنَهٗ بُهْتَانًا وَّ اِثْمًا مُّبِیْنًا(۲۰)
If you want to take another wife in place of the one you are married to, then even if you have given her a talent of gold, do not take back a thing. Would you take it away by slandering and using unjust means?
But if ye decide to take one wife in place of another, even if ye had given the latter a whole treasure for dower, Take not the least bit of it back: Would ye take it by slander and manifest wrong?
وَ كَیْفَ تَاْخُذُوْنَهٗ وَ قَدْ اَفْضٰى بَعْضُكُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّ اَخَذْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِّیْثَاقًا غَلِیْظًا(۲۱)
How could you do that having slept with one another, and when they had taken a solemn pledge from you?
And how could ye take it when ye have gone in unto each other, and they have Taken from you a solemn covenant?
وَ لَا تَنْكِحُوْا مَا نَكَحَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَآءِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَّ مَقْتًاؕ-وَ سَآءَ سَبِیْلًا۠(۲۲)
And do not wed the women your fathers had wed. What happened in the past is now past: It was lewd and abhorrent, and only the way of evil.
And marry not women whom your fathers married,- except what is past: It was shameful and odious,- an abominable custom indeed.
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَیْكُمْ اُمَّهٰتُكُمْ وَ بَنٰتُكُمْ وَ اَخَوٰتُكُمْ وَ عَمّٰتُكُمْ وَ خٰلٰتُكُمْ وَ بَنٰتُ الْاَخِ وَ بَنٰتُ الْاُخْتِ وَ اُمَّهٰتُكُمُ الّٰتِیْۤ اَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَ اَخَوٰتُكُمْ مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَ اُمَّهٰتُ نِسَآىٕكُمْ وَ رَبَآىٕبُكُمُ الّٰتِیْ فِیْ حُجُوْرِكُمْ مِّنْ نِّسَآىٕكُمُ الّٰتِیْ دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ٘-فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَكُوْنُوْا دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ٘-وَ حَلَآىٕلُ اَبْنَآىٕكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ اَصْلَابِكُمْۙ-وَ اَنْ تَجْمَعُوْا بَیْنَ الْاُخْتَیْنِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًاۙ(۲۳)
Unlawful are your mothers and daughters and your sisters to you, and the sisters of your fathers and your mothers, and the daughters of your brothers and sisters, and foster mothers, foster sisters, and the mothers of your wives, and the daughters of the wives you have slept with who are under your charge; but in case you have not slept with them there is no offence (if you marry their daughters); and the wives of your own begotten sons; and marrying two sisters is unlawful. What happened in the past (is now past): God is forgiving and kind.
Prohibited to you (For marriage) are:- Your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful;-
وَّ الْمُحْصَنٰتُ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ اِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْۚ-كِتٰبَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْۚ-وَ اُحِلَّ لَكُمْ مَّا وَرَآءَ ذٰلِكُمْ اَنْ تَبْتَغُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ مُّحْصِنِیْنَ غَیْرَ مُسٰفِحِیْنَؕ-فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْهُنَّ فَاٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ فَرِیْضَةًؕ-وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِیْمَا تَرٰضَیْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْفَرِیْضَةِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا(۲۴)
Also forbidden are married women unless they are captives (of war). Such is the decree of God. Lawful for you are women besides these if you seek them with your wealth for wedlock and not for debauchery. Then give those of these women you have enjoyed, the agreed dower. It will not be sinful if you agree to something (else) by mutual consent after having settled the dowry. God is certainly all-knowing and all-wise.
Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess: Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property,- desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree Mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
وَ مَنْ لَّمْ یَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا اَنْ یَّنْكِحَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ فَمِنْ مَّا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ مِّنْ فَتَیٰتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِاِیْمَانِكُمْؕ-بَعْضُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْضٍۚ-فَانْكِحُوْهُنَّ بِاِذْنِ اَهْلِهِنَّ وَ اٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ مُحْصَنٰتٍ غَیْرَ مُسٰفِحٰتٍ وَّ لَا مُتَّخِذٰتِ اَخْدَانٍۚ-فَاِذَاۤ اُحْصِنَّ فَاِنْ اَتَیْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَیْهِنَّ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى الْمُحْصَنٰتِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِؕ-ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِیَ الْعَنَتَ مِنْكُمْؕ-وَ اَنْ تَصْبِرُوْا خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠(۲۵)
If one of you cannot afford to marry a believing gentlewoman (let him marry) a maid who is a believer. God is aware of your faith: The one of you is of the other; so marry them with the consent of their people, and give them an appropriate dowry. They are women (seeking) wedlock, and not lechery, nor secretly looking for paramours. But if they are married and guilty of adultery, inflict on them half the punishment (enjoined) for gentlewomen. This is for those who are afraid of doing wrong. In case they can wait, it is better for them. God is forgiving and kind.
If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when they are taken in wedlock, if they fall into shame, their punishment is half that for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it is better for you that ye practise self-restraint. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ لِیُبَیِّنَ لَكُمْ وَ یَهْدِیَكُمْ سُنَنَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَ یَتُوْبَ عَلَیْكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ(۲۶)
God wishes to make it clear to you and guide you through the example of earlier people, and to forgive you, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.
Allah doth wish to make clear to you and to show you the ordinances of those before you; and (He doth wish to) turn to you (In Mercy): And Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
وَ اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ اَنْ یَّتُوْبَ عَلَیْكُمْ- وَ یُرِیْدُ الَّذِیْنَ یَتَّبِعُوْنَ الشَّهَوٰتِ اَنْ تَمِیْلُوْا مَیْلًا عَظِیْمًا(۲۷)
God likes to turn to you, but those who are lost in the pleasures of the flesh wish to turn you astray, far away.
Allah doth wish to Turn to you, but the wish of those who follow their lusts is that ye should turn away (from Him),- far, far away.
یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یُّخَفِّفَ عَنْكُمْۚ-وَ خُلِقَ الْاِنْسَانُ ضَعِیْفًا(۲۸)
God would like to lighten your burden, for man was created weak.
Allah doth wish to lighten your (difficulties): For man was created Weak (in flesh).
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَاْكُلُوْۤا اَمْوَالَكُمْ بَیْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ تِجَارَةً عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِّنْكُمْ- وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِیْمًا(۲۹)
O believers, you should not usurp unjustly the wealth of each other, but trade by mutual consent; and do not destroy yourselves. God is merciful to you.
O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful!
وَ مَنْ یَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ عُدْوَانًا وَّ ظُلْمًا فَسَوْفَ نُصْلِیْهِ نَارًاؕ-وَ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ یَسِیْرًا(۳۰)
If someone does so through oppression or injustice, We shall cast him into Hell: This is how (the Law of) God works inevitably.
If any do that in rancour and injustice,- soon shall We cast them into the Fire: And easy it is for Allah.
اِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوْا كَبَآىٕرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَیِّاٰتِكُمْ وَ نُدْخِلْكُمْ مُّدْخَلًا كَرِیْمًا(۳۱)
If you keep away from the deadly sins that have been forbidden, We shall efface your faults, and lead you to a place of honour.
If ye (but) eschew the most heinous of the things which ye are forbidden to do, We shall expel out of you all the evil in you, and admit you to a gate of great honour.
وَ لَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍؕ-لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِیْبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبُوْاؕ-وَ لِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِیْبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبْنَؕ-وَ سْــٴَـلُوا اللّٰهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمًا(۳۲)
Do not covet what God has favoured some with more than He has some others. Men have a share in what they earn, and women have theirs in what they earn. Ask God for His favours. Surely God has knowledge of everything.
And in no wise covet those things in which Allah Hath bestowed His gifts More freely on some of you than on others: To men is allotted what they earn, and to women what they earn: But ask Allah of His bounty. For Allah hath full knowledge of all things.
وَ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِیَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَ الْاَقْرَبُوْنَؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ عَقَدَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ فَاٰتُوْهُمْ نَصِیْبَهُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهِیْدًا۠(۳۳)
For each We have appointed heirs to what parents and relatives leave behind. And to those you have given your pledge in marriage give their share, for God is witness to everything.
To (benefit) every one, We have appointed shares and heirs to property left by parents and relatives. To those, also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion. For truly Allah is witness to all things.
اَلرِّجَالُ قَوّٰمُوْنَ عَلَى النِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّ بِمَاۤ اَنْفَقُوْا مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْؕ-فَالصّٰلِحٰتُ قٰنِتٰتٌ حٰفِظٰتٌ لِّلْغَیْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللّٰهُؕ-وَ الّٰتِیْ تَخَافُوْنَ نُشُوْزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوْهُنَّ وَ اهْجُرُوْهُنَّ فِی الْمَضَاجِعِ وَ اضْرِبُوْهُنَّۚ-فَاِنْ اَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوْا عَلَیْهِنَّ سَبِیْلًاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِیًّا كَبِیْرًا(۳۴)
Men are the support of women as God gives some more means than others, and because they spend of their wealth (to provide for them). So women who are virtuous are obedient to God and guard the hidden as God has guarded it. As for women you feel are averse, talk to them suasively; then leave them alone in bed (without molesting them) and go to bed with them (when they are willing). If they open out to you, do not seek an excuse for blaming them. Surely God is sublime and great.
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
وَ اِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَیْنِهِمَا فَابْعَثُوْا حَكَمًا مِّنْ اَهْلِهٖ وَ حَكَمًا مِّنْ اَهْلِهَاۚ-اِنْ یُّرِیْدَاۤ اِصْلَاحًا یُّوَفِّقِ اللّٰهُ بَیْنَهُمَاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِیْمًا خَبِیْرًا(۳۵)
If you fear a breach between them, appoint one arbiter from the people of the man and one from the people of the woman. If they wish to have a settlement then God will reconcile them, for God is all-knowing and cognisant.
If ye fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family, and the other from hers; if they wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation: For Allah hath full knowledge, and is acquainted with all things.
وَ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَ لَا تُشْرِكُوْا بِهٖ شَیْــٴًـا وَّ بِالْوَالِدَیْنِ اِحْسَانًا وَّ بِذِی الْقُرْبٰى وَ الْیَتٰمٰى وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَ الْجَارِ ذِی الْقُرْبٰى وَ الْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَ الصَّاحِبِ بِالْجَنْۢبِ وَ ابْنِ السَّبِیْلِۙ-وَ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُوْرَاۙﰳ (۳۶)
Pay homage to God, and make none His compeer, and be good to your parents and relatives, the orphans and the needy and the neighbours who are your relatives, and the neighbours who are strangers, and the friend by your side, the traveller and your servants and subordinates. God does not surely love those who are arrogant and boastful,
Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess: For Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious;-
الَّذِیْنَ یَبْخَلُوْنَ وَ یَاْمُرُوْنَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَ یَكْتُمُوْنَ مَاۤ اٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖؕ-وَ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابًا مُّهِیْنًاۚ(۳۷)
Who are miserly and bid others to be so, and hide what God has given them in His largesse. We have prepared for unbelievers a shameful punishment.
(Nor) those who are niggardly or enjoin niggardliness on others, or hide the bounties which Allah hath bestowed on them; for We have prepared, for those who resist Faith, a punishment that steeps them in contempt;-
وَ الَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ رِئَآءَ النَّاسِ وَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ لَا بِالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّكُنِ الشَّیْطٰنُ لَهٗ قَرِیْنًا فَسَآءَ قَرِیْنًا(۳۸)
Those who spend of their wealth to show off and do not believe in God and the Last Day, take Satan as companion, and how evil a companion (have they)!
Not those who spend of their substance, to be seen of men, but have no faith in Allah and the Last Day: If any take the Evil One for their intimate, what a dreadful intimate he is!
وَ مَا ذَا عَلَیْهِمْ لَوْ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَ اَنْفَقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَهُمُ اللّٰهُؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ بِهِمْ عَلِیْمًا(۳۹)
Would something have befallen them if they had believed in God and the Last Day, and spent of what has been given them by God? God is fully aware of all they do.
And what burden Were it on them if they had faith in Allah and in the Last Day, and they spent out of what Allah hath given them for sustenance? For Allah hath full knowledge of them.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍۚ-وَ اِنْ تَكُ حَسَنَةً یُّضٰعِفْهَا وَ یُؤْتِ مِنْ لَّدُنْهُ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًا(۴۰)
God does not wrong any one, not even the equal of an atom; and if men do good He multiplies it by two, and adds a great reward of His own.
Allah is never unjust in the least degree: If there is any good (done), He doubleth it, and giveth from His own presence a great reward.
