An-Nisa

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

O ye mankind! fear your Lord; Who created you of a single soul and He created the reef the
spouse thereof, and of the twain He spread abroad men manifold and women. And fear Allah
by Whom ye importune one anot her, and the wombs. Verily Allah is ever over you a
Watcher. (1) And give unto the orphans their substance, and substitute not the bad for the
good; and devour not their substance by adding it to your substance; verily that is a great
crime. (2) And if ye apprehend that ye may not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry
such as please you, of other Women, by twos and threes or fours, but if ye apprehend that
ye shall not act justly, then marry one only, or that which your right hand own that Will be
more fit, that ye may swerve not. their (3) And give unto women dowries as a gift, and if of
themselves they give up aught thereof unto you, then eat it in pleasure and profit. (4) And
give not unto the weak-witted the substance which Allah made a stay for you, but feed them
there out, Sand clothe them, and say unto them a reputable saying. (5) And examine the
orphans until they attain the age of wedlock, then if ye perceive in them and discretion,
hand over unto them their substance, and consume it not extravagantly or hastily for fear
that they may grow. And whosoever is rich, let him abstain, and whosoever is needy let him
take thereof reputably. And when ye hand over their substance unto them, call in witnesses
in their presence, and sufficeth Allah as a Reckoner. (6) Unto males shall be a portion of that
which their parents and others near of kin may leave; and unto females shall be a portion of
that which their parents and other near of kin may leave, whether it be small or large, a
portion allotted. (7) And when those of kin are Present at the division and the orphans and
the needy, provide for them thereout, and say unto them a reputable saying. (8) And let
them beware who, should they leave behind them a weakly progeny, would be afraid on
their account; let them, wherefore, fear Allah, and says a proper saying. (9) Verily those who
devour the substance of the orphans wrongously, only devour the fire into their bellies, and
anon they shall roast in the Blaze. (10) Allah enjoineth you in the matter of your children;
the male will have as much as the portion of two females, but if they be females more than
two, then they will have two-thirds of that which he hath left, and if only one, she will have a
half; and as far as his parents, each of the twain shall have a sixth of that which he hath left
if he have a child, but if he hath no child and his parents be his heirs, then his mother shall
have a third; but if he have brothers, then his mother shall have a sixth: all after paying a
bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt. Your fathers and your sons - ye know not which
of them is higher unto you in benefit: an ordinance this from Allah, verily Allah is Knowing,
Wise. (11) And ye will have half of that which your wives may leave, if they have no Child,
but if they have a child then ye shall have one- fourth of that which they may leave, after
paying a bequest they may have bequeathed or a debt. And they shall have one-fourth of
that which ye may leaves if ye have no child; but if ye have a child then they will have one-
eighth of that which ye may leave, after paying a bequest ye may have bequeathed or a
debt. And if a man or a woman who leaveth the heritage hath no direct heirs but hath a
brother or a sister, each of the twain will have a sixth; and if more than one, then they will
have equal shares in one third after paying a bequest they may have bequeathed or a debt
without prejudice: an ordinance this from Allah; and Allah Is Knowing, Forbearing. (12) These
are the statutes of Allah, and whosoever obeyeth Allah and His apostle, him He shall cause
to enter the Gardens whereunder rivers flow, as abiders therein; and that is an achievement
mighty. (13) And whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, and transgresseth His
statutes, him He shall cause to enter the Fire, as an abider therein; and unto him shall be a
torment ignominous. (14) As for those of your women who may commit whoredom, call
against them four witnesses from among them if they testify, confine you them to their
houses till death complete their turn of life, or Allah appoint for them some other way. (15)
And as for those twain of you who commit it, hurt them both; then, if they repent and
amend, turn away from them; verily Allah is Relenting, Merciful. (16) With Allah is the
repentance of those alone who do an evil foolishly and thereafter repent speedily, surely it is
they unto whom Allah shall relent. And Allah is Knowing, Wise. (17) And repentance is not for
those who go on working evil until when death presenteth itself unto one of them, and he
saith: verily now I repent; nor for those who die while they are infidel. These! for them We
have gotten ready a torment afflictive. (18) O Ye who believe! it is not allowed unto you that
ye may heir the women forcibly; nor shut them up that ye may take away from them part of
that which ye had given them, except when they be guilty of manifest enormity. And live
with them reputably if ye detest them, belike ye detest a thing and yet Allah hath placed
therein abundant good. (19) And if ye intend to replace a wife by anot her, and ye have
given the one of them a talent, take not back aught therefrom. Would ye take it back by
slander and manifest sin. (20) And how can ye take it back when one of you hath gone in
unto the other, and they have obtained from you a rigid bond! (21) And wed not of women
those whom your fathers had wedded, except that which hath already passed. Verily it hath
been an indecency and an abomination and an evil way: (22) Forbidden unto you are your
mothers and your daughters and your sisters and your fathers sisters and your mothers
sisters, and your brothers daughters and your sisters daughters. and your foster mothers
and your foster sisters, and the mothers of your wives and your step-daughters, that are
your wards, born of your wives unto whom ye have gone in, but if ye have not gone in unto
them, no sin shall be on you, and the wives of your sons that are from your own loins, and,
also that ye should have two sisters together, except that which hath already passed; verily
Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. (23) And also forbidden are the wedded among women,
save those whom your right hands own Allahs rescript for you. And allowed unto you is
whatsoever is beyond that, so that ye may seek them with your substances as properly
wedded men, not as fornicators. Then whomsoever of them ye have enjoyed, give them
their dowers stipulated. And there will be no blame on you in regard to aught on which ye
mutually agree after the stipulation; verily Allah is Knowing, Wise. (24) And whosoever of
you has not ampleness of means that he may wed free believing women, let him wed such
of the believing bondswomen as the right hands of you people own. And Allah noweth well
your belief, ye are one from the other. O Ye may wed them then, with the leave of their
owners, and give them their dowers reputably as properly wedded women, not as
fornicateresses, nor as those taking to themselves secret paramours. And when they have
been wedded, if they commit an indecency, on them the punishment shall be a moiety of
that for free wedded women. This is for him among you, who dreameth perdition; and that
ye should abstain is better for you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (25) Allah intendeth to
expound unto you and to guide you into the dispensations of those before you and relent
toward you. And Allah is Knowing, Wise. (26) And Allah intendeth to relent toward you, and
those that follow lusts intend that ye shall incline a mighty inclining. (27) Allah intendeth
that he shall lighten unto you, and man hath been created weak. (28) O Ye who believe!
devour not your substance among yourselves unlawfully, but let it be a trading among you
by mutual agreement. And slay not yourselves, verily Allah is unto you ever Merciful. (29)
And whosoever doth that in transgression- and wrong, presently We shall roast him in Fire;
and with Allah that is ever easy. (30) If ye shun the grievous sins from which ye are
prohibited, We shall expiate from you your misdeeds, and make you enter a noble Entrance.
(31) And long not for that wherewith Allah hath preferred one of you above anot her Unto
men shall be the portion of that which they earn, and unto women shall be the portion of
that which they earn. And ask Allah for some of His grace, verily Allah is of everything
Knower. (32) And unto each We have appointed inheritors of that which the parents or the
near of kin leave behind, and unto those with whom ye have made your pledges give their
portion. Verily Allah is ever of everything a Witness. (33) Men are overseers over women, by
reason of that wherewith Allah hath made one of them excel over anot her, and by reason of
that which they expend of their substance. Wherefore righteous women are obedient, and
are watchers in husbands absence by the aid and protection of Allah. And those wives whose
refractoriness ye fear, exhort them, and avoid them in beds, and beat them; but if they obey
you, seek not a way against them; verily Allah is ever Lofty, Grand. (34) And if ye fear a
divergence between the twain, set up an arbiter from his household and an arbiter from her
household; then if the twain desire rectification Allah shall bring harmony between the
twain; verily Allah is ever Knowing, Aware. (35) And worship Allah and associate not aught
with Him; and unto parents show kindness, and also unto kindred and orphans and the
needy and the near neighbour and the distant neighbour and the companion by your side
and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands own Verily Allah loveth not one who is
vainglorious, boaster- (36) Those who are niggardly and command mankind to niggardliness
and hide that which Allah hath vouchsafed unto them of His grace; and We, have gotten
ready for the infidels a torment ignominous; (37) And those who expend of their substance
for show of men, and believe not in Allah nor in the Last Day; and whosoever hath for him
Satan as a companion, a vile companion hath he! (38) And what would befall them were
they to believe in Allah and the Last Day and expend out of that wherewith Allah hath
provided them? And of them Allah is ever the Knower. (39) Verily Allah wrongeth not any
one a grains weight, and if there is a virtue He shall multiply it and give from His presence a
mighty hire. (40) How will it be then, when We shall bring, out of each community, a witness,
and We shall bring thee against these as a witness? (41) That Day those who had
disbelieved and disobeyed the apostle would fain that the earth would be levelled over
them, and from Allah they will not be able to hide any discourse. (42) O Ye who believe!
approach not prayer while ye are intoxicated until ye know that which ye say, nor yet while
ye are polluted, save when ye be way faring, until ye have washed your selves. And if ye be
ailing or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the privy have touched women, or ye and
ye find not water, then betake your selves to clean earth and wipe your faces and your
hands therewith; verily Allah is ever Pardoning, Forgiving. (43) Observest thou not those
unto whom was vouchsafed a portion of the book purchasing error, and desiring that ye
would err as regards the way! (44) And Allah is Knower of your enemies. Sufficieth Allah as a
Friend and sufficieth Allah as a Helper. (45) Of those who are Judaised, are they who pervert
Words from their meanings and say: We hear and we disobey, and: hear thou without being
made to hear, and RAINA, twisting their tongues and scoffing at the faith! And had they said:
we hear and obey, and: hear thou, and: UNZURNA, it had surely been better for them and
more upright. But Allah hath cursed them for their infidelity, wherefore they shall not
believe, save a few. (46) O Ye who are vouchsafed the Book believe in that which We have
sent down confirming that which is with you, ere We alter countenances and turn them into
their hinder parts, or We might curse them even as We cursed the fellows of the Sabt; and
Allahs command is ever fulfilled. (47) Verily Allah shall not Forgive that aught be associated
with Him, and He will forgive all else unto whomsoever He listeth. And whosoever
associateth aught with Allah, he hath of a surety fabricated a mighty sin. (48) Hast thou not
observed those who hold themselves purified Nay! Allah purifieth whomsoever He will, and
they shall not be wronged a whit. (49) Behold how they fabricate a lie against Allah! and
sufficeth that as a manifest sin. (50) Hast thou not observed those unto whom is vouchsafed
a portion of the Book testifying to idols and devils, and saying of those who have
disbelieved: these are better guided as regards the way than the believers? (51) These are
they whom Allah hath cursed; and whomsoever Allah curseth, for him thou shalt not find a
helper. (52) Is theirs a portion of the dominion? In that case, they would not give the people
a speck. (53) Or envy they the people on account of that which Allah hath vouchsafed unto
them out of His grace! so, surely We vouchsafed unto the house of Ibrahim the Book and the
wisdom and We vouchsafed unto them a mighty dominion. (54) Then of them were some
who believed therein, and of them were some who turned aside therefrom, and Hell -will
suffice as a Flame. (55) Verily those who disbelieve in Our revelations, presently We shall
roast them into Fire. So oft as their skins are cooked We shall change them for other skins,
so that they may keep on tasting the torment verily Allah is ever Mighty, Wise. (56) And
those who believe and work righteous works, anon We shall cause them to enter the
Gardens whereunder rivers flow as abiders therein for ever. For them shall be spouses
purified, and We shall cause them to enter a sheltering shade. (57) Verily Allah commandeth
you that ye shall render dues unto the owners thereof, and that, when ye judge between
men, judge with justice. Verily excel lent is that wherewith Allah exhorteth you verily Allah is
ever Hearing, Beholding. (58) O Ye who believe! obey Allah and obey the apostle and
owners of authority from amongst you. then if dispute in aught refer it Unto ye Allah and the
apostle if ye indeed believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best and fairest
interpretation. (59) Hast thou not observed those who assert that they believe in that which
hath been sent down unto thee and that which hath been sent down before thee desiring to
go to the devil for judgement, whereas they have been commanded to disbelieve in him;
and Satan desireth to lead them far astray. (60) And when it said unto them come unto that
which Allah hath sent down and unto the apostle, thou wilt see the hypocrites hang back far
from thee. (61) How then, when some ill befalleth them because of that which their hands
have sent forth and then they come to thee swearing by Allah: we meant naught save
kindness and concord. (62) These are they of whom Allah knoweth whatsoever is in their
hearts: wherefore turn thou from them and exhort them, and say unto them for their souls ,
effectual saying. (63) And not an apostle We have sent but to be obeyed by Allahs
command. And if they, when they had wronged their souls, had come unto thee and begged
forgiveness of Allah, and the apostle had begged forgiveness for them they would surely
have found Allah Relentant, Merciful. (64) Aye! by thy Lord, they shall not believe until they
have made thee judge of that which is disputed among them, and then find no vexation in
their hearts with that which thou hast decreed, and they submit with full submission. (65)
And had We prescribed unto them: slay yourselves or go forth from your dwellings, they had
not done it, save a few of them. And did they do that which they are exhorted to do, it would
be for them better and more strengthening. (66) And then We would surely have vouchsafed
unto them from Our presence a mighty hire. (67) And We would surely have guided them on
the right path. (68) And whosoever obeyeth Allah and the apostle, then those shall be with
them whom Allah hath blessed --from among the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, and the
righteous. Excellent are these as a company! (69) That is the grace from Allah, and sufficeth
Allah as Knower! (70) O Ye who believe! take your precaution then sally forth in detachment
or sally forth all together. (71) And verily there Is among you he who laggeth behind, and if
an ill befalleth you, he saith: surely Allah hath bestowed favour on me in that I was not
Present with them. (72) And if there betideth you grace from Allah, then, as though there
had been no tenderness between you and him, he saith: would that I had been with them!
then I would have achieved a mighty achievement. (73) Let them wherefore fight in the way
of Allah those who have purchased the life of this world for the Hereafter: And whosoever
fighteth in the way of Allah, and is then slain or overcometh, We shall vouchsafe unto him a
mighty hire. (74) And what aileth you that ye fight not in the way of Allah and for the
oppressed among men and women and Children who say: our Lord! take US forth from this
town whereof the people are Wrong-doing, and appoint us from before Thee a patron, and
appoint us from before Thee a helper! (75) These who believe fight in the way of Allah and
those who disbelieve fight in the way of the devil. Fight then against the friends of Satan;
verily the craft of Satan is ever feeble. (76) Hast thou not observed those unto whom it was
said; withhold your hands, and establish prayer and give the poor-rate; but when thereafter
fighting was prescribed unto them, lo! there is a party of them dreading men as with the
dread of Allah, or with greater dread; and they say: our Lord! why hast Thou prescribed unto
us fighting! Wouldst that Thou hadst let us tarry a term nearby! Say thou: the enjoyment of
the world is little, and the Hereafter is better for him who feareth God; and ye shall not be
wronged a whit. (77) Wheresoever ye may be, death shall overtake you, even though ye be
in fortresses plastered. And if there betideth them some good, they say: this is from God.
And if there betideth them some ill, they say: this is because of thee. Say thou: everything is
from Allah. What aileth then this people, that well-nigh they understand not any speech (78)
Whatsoever of good betideth thee is from Allah, and whatsoever of ill betideth thee is
because of thy self. And We have sent thee unto the mankind as an apostle; and sufficieth
Allah as a Witness. (79) Whosoever obeyeth the apostle hath indeed obeyed Allah, and
whosoever turnoth away -We have not sent thee over them as a keeper. (80) And they say:
Obedience. Then when they so forth from before thee, a part of them plan together by night
other than they had said: and Allah writeth down that which they plan by night. Wherefore
turn thou from them and trust in Allah and sufficeth Allah as a Trustee. (81) Ponder then
they not on the Quran? Were it from other than Allah they would surely find therein many a
contradiction. (82) And when there cometh unto them aught of security aught of alarm, they
bruit it; abroad: whereas had they referred it to the apostle and those in authority among
them, then those of them who can think it out would have known it. And had there not been
Allahs grace upon you and His mercy, ye would surely have followed Satan, save a few. (83)
Fight thou therefore in the way of Allah thou are not tasked except for thy own soul, and
persuade the believers; belike Allah will withhold the violence of those who disbelieve. And
Allah is stronger in violence and Stronger in chastising. (84) Whosoever intercedeth with a
goodly intercession, his shall be a portion therefrom, and whosoever intercedeth with an ill
intercession his shall be a responsibility thereof; and Allah is of everything the Controller.
(85) And when ye are greeted with a greeting, then greet back with one better than that or
return that; verily Allah is of everything the Reckoner. (86) Allah! there is no god but he.
Surely He shall gather you together on the Day of Resurrecticn, whereof there is no doubt;
and who is more truthful than Allah in discourse? (87) What aileth you then, that ye are two
parties regarding the hypocrites? whereas Allah hath reverted them because of that which
they have earned. Would ye lead aright those whom Allah hath sent astray? And
whomsoever Allah sendeth astray, for him thou shalt not find a way. (88) Fain would they
that ye disbelieved even as they have disbelieved, so that ye may be all alike. Wherefore
take not friends from among them until they migrate for the sake of Allah; and if they turn
away, then lay hold of them and slay them, wheresoever ye find them, and take not from
among them a friend or a helper. (89) Excepting those who join a people between whom and
you there is a bond or who come to you with their breasts straitened that they should fight
you or fight their own people. And had Allah so willed, He would have surely set them upon
you. If then they withdraw from you, and fight not against you and offer you peace, then
Allah openoth not for you against them a way. (90) Surely ye will find others desiring, that
they may be secure from you and may be secure from their people; and yet so oft as they
are brought back into the temptation, they revert thereto. Wherefore if they withdraw not
from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, lay hold of them and slay them
wheresoever ye find them. These: against them We have given you a clear warranty. (91) It
is not for a believer to slay a believer except by a mischance; and whosoever slayeth a
believer by mischance on him is the setting free of a believing bondman and blood-wit to be
delivered to his family except that they forego. Then if he be of a people hostile unto you
and is himself a believer, then the setting free of a believing bondman; and if he be of a
people between man whom and you is a bond, then the bloodwit to be delivered to his
family and the setting free of a believing bondman. Then whosoever findeth not the
wherewithal, on him is the fasting for two months in succession: a penance from Allah. And
Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. (92) And whosoever slayeth a believer intentionally, His meed is
Hell, as an abider therein; and Allah shall be wroth with him and shall curse him, and shall
get ready for him a torment terrible. (93) O Ye who believe! when ye march forth in the way
of Allah, make things clear and say not unto one who giveth you a salutation: thou art none
of a believer, seeking the perishable goods of the life of the world; for with Allah are spoils
abundant. Even Thus were ye aforetime, then Allah favoured you. So make things clear;
verily Allah is of that which ye work ever Aware. (94) Not equal are the holders back among
the believers, save those who are disabled, and the strivers in the way of Allah with their-
riches and their lives. Allah hath preferred in rank the strivers with their riches and their
lives above the holders-back, and unto all Allah hath promised good. And Allah hath
preferred the strivers above the holdersback with a mighty hire. (95) Ranks from Him and
forgiveness and mercy; and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. (96) Verily unto those whom
the angels carry off in death, while they are yet oppressors of their souls, they will say: what
were ye in? They will say: Weakened were we in the land. They Will say: was not Allahs land
wide so that ye could migrate thereto. These: their resort is hell an evil retreat! (97)
Excepting the weak ones among men, women and children, unable to find a stratagem and
not guided to a way. (98) These: belike Allah will pardon them, and Allah is ever Pardoning,
Forgiving. (99) And whosoever migrateth in the way of Allah, shall find in the earth plentiful
refuge and ampleness; and whosoever goes forth from his house as a fugitive unto Allah and
His apostle, and death then overtaketh him his hire hath surely devolved upon Allah, and
Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. (100) And when ye are journeying in the earth there shall
be no fault in you that ye shorten the prayer if ye fear that those who disbelieve shall molest
you, verily the infidels are ever unto you an avowed enemy. (101) And when thou art amidst
them and hast set up the prayer for them, then let a party of them stand with thee and let
them retain their arms; then when they have prostrated themselves, let them go behind
you, and let anot her party who have not yet prayed, come and pray with thee; and let them
also take their caution and their arms. Pain would those who disbelieve that ye neglected
your arms and your baggage, so that they might swoop down upon you at one swoop. And
there shall be no fault in you, if there be an injury to you from rain or ye are ailing, that ye
lay down your arms and yet take your caution. Verily Allah hath gotten ready for the infidels
a torment ignominious. (102) Then when ye have finished the prayer, remember Allah,
standing and sitting and lying on Your sides. Then when ye are secure, establish the prayer
verily the prayer is prescribed unto the believers at definite times. (103) And slacken not in
seeking the enemy people if ye are suffering, then they suffer even as ye suffer, and you
hope from Allah that which they hope not; and Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. (104) Verily We!
We have sent down the Book unto thee With truth that thou mightest judge between people
by that which Allah hath shewn thee; and be not thou On behalf of the deceivers a pleader.
(105) And beg thou forgiveness of verily Allah is ever Forgiving. (106) And contend thou not
for those who defraud their souls verily Allah loveth not one who is a defrauder, sinner. (107)
They feel ashamed of men and feel not ashamed of Allah, whereas He is Present with them
when by night they plan together of discourse which pleaseth Him not; and Allah is of that
which they work ever an Encompasser. (108) Lo! it is ye who have contended for them in the
life of the world; then who will contend for them with Allah on the Day of Resurrection, or
who shall be their champion? (109) And whosoever worketh an ill or wrongeth his own soul,
and thereafter beggeth forgiveness of Allah shall find Allah Forgiving, Merciful. (110) And
whosoever earnoth a sin, only against his own soul he earnoth it; and Allah is ever Knowing,
Wise. (111) And whosoever earnoth a vice or a sin, and thereafter casteth it on an innocent,
he hath surely borne a calumny and a manifest sin. (112) Were not the grace of Allah on
thee and His mercy, a party of them had surely resolved to mislead thee; whereas they
mislead not but themselves, and they shall not hurt thee in aught. And Allah hath sent down
unto thee the Book and wisdom, and hath taught thee that which thou knowest not; and the
grace of Allah on thee is ever mighty. (113) No good is there in much of their whispers
except in his who commandeth charity or kindness or reconciliation among mankind; and
whosoever doeth this seeking the good-will of Allah, We shall presently give him a mighty
hire. (114) And whosoever opposeth the apostle after the truth hath become manifest unto
him, and followeth other way than that of the believers, We shall let him follow that to which
he hath turned, and shall roast him in Hell - an evil retreat! (115) Verily Allah shall not
forgive that aught be associated with Him, and He will forgive all else unto whomsoever He
liketh; and whosoever associateth ought with Allah, hath surely strayed away a far straying.
(116) They invoke beside Him but females, and they invoke not but a Satan rebellious. (117)
Allah hath accursed him. And he said: surely shall take of Thine bondmen a portion allotted.
(118) And surely I will lead them and will fill them with vain desires, and I will command
them so that they will slit the ears of the cattle, and I will command them so that they will
alter the creation of Allah. And whosoever taketh Satan for a patron, instead of Allah, shall
surely suffer a manifest loss. (119) The Satan maketh them promises and filleth them with
vain desires. and Satan promiseth them not but delusion. (120) These: their resort shall be
Hell, and they shall not find therefrom an escape. (121) And those who believe and work
righteous works, anon We shall make them enter Gardens whereunder the rivers flow, as
abiders therein for ever: promise of Allah, true. And who is more truthful than Allah in
speech? (122) Not by your vain desires nor by the vain desires of the people of the Book;
whosoever worketh an evil, shall be requited therewith, and he will not find beside Allah a
patron nor a helper. (123) And whosoever worketh of righteous works, male or female, and
is a believer, these shall enter the Garden and shall not be wronged a speck. (124) And who
can be better in religion than he who submitteth his countenance unto Allah, and sincere,
and followeth the faith of Ibrahim, the upright And Allah took Ibrahim for a friend. (125) And
Allahs is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and of everything
Allah is ever an Encompasser. (126) And they ask thy decree concerning women. Say thou:
Allah decreeth unto you concerning them and so do the revelations that have been
rehearsed unto you in the Book concerning the orphan women unto whom yes give not that
which is prescribed for them and yet desire that ye shall wed them, and concerning the
oppressed children, and concerning this, that ye shall deal with the orphans in equity, and
whatsoever of good ye de, then verily thereof Allah is ever Aware. (127) And if a woman
feareth from her husband refractoriness or estrangement, it shall be no blame on the twain
if they effect between them a reconciliation; and reconciliation is better. And souls are
engrained with greed. And if ye act kindly and fear Him, then verily Allah is ever of that
which ye work Aware. (128) And ye are not able to deal evenly between the wives, even
though ye long to do so, but incline not an extreme inclining so that ye may leave her as one
ahanging. And if ye effect a reconciliation and fear Allah, then Allah is ever Forgiving,
Merciful. (129) And if the twain must sunder, Allah shall render the twain independent out of
His bounty, and Allah is ever Bountiful, Wise. (130) Allahs is whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever is in the earth. And assuredly We enjoined those who were vouchsafed the
Book before you and yourselves: fear Allah, and if ye disbelieve then Allahs is whatsoever is
in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and Allah is ever Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
(131) And Allahs is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and
sufficeth Allah as a Champion. (132) If He will, He will take you away, O mankind! and bring
forward others; and over that Allah is ever Potent. (133) Whosoever seeketh the reward of
this world, with Allah is the reward of this world and of the Hereafter; and Allah is ever
Hearing, Beholding. (134) O Ye who believe! be ye maintainers of justice, bearers of
testimony for Allahs sake, though it be against yourselves or your parents or kindred. Be he
rich or poor, Allah is nigher unto either wherefore follow not the passion, lest ye deviate. If
ye incline or turn away, then verily of that which ye work Allah is ever Aware. (135) O Ye
who believe believe in Allahs and His apostle and the Book He hath sent down unto His
apostle and the Book He sent down aforetime; and whosoever disbelieveth in Allah and His
angels and His Books and His Apostles and the Last Day, hath surely strayed away a far
straying. (136) Verily those who believed and then disbelieved, and then believed and then,
disbelieved, and thereafter waxed in infidelity ye Allah shall not forgive them nor guide them
on the way. (137) Announce thou to the hypocrites that theirs shall be a torment afflictive.
(138) Those who take infidels for, friends, instead of the believers. Seek thy honour with
them verily then honour is Allahs altogether. (139) And it hath been revealed to you in the
Book that when ye hear Allahs revelations being disbelieved in and mocked at, sit not down
with them until they plunge in a discourse other than that; for, then, ye would surely
become like unto them. Verily Allah is about to gather hypocrites and infidels in Hell
together. (140) Those who wait about you. If then there be victory for you from Allah, they
say: were we not with you? And if there is a portion for the infidels, they say: gained we not
mastery over you, and kept we not you back from the believers! Allah shall Judge betwixt
you On the Day of Judgement, and Allah shall not make for the infidels against the believers
a way. (141) Verily the hypocrites would beguile Allah, whereas it is He who beguileth
them, ; and when they stand up to prayer, they stand up languidly, making a show to the
people, and they remember not Allah but little. (142) Wave ring between this and that;
neither for this nor for that and whomsoever Allah sendeth astray, for him thou wilt never
find a way. (143) O Ye who believe! take not infidels for friends, instead of believers. Would
ye give Allah against you a manifest warranty! (144) Verily the hypocrites shall be in the
lowest abyss of the Fire; and thou wilt not find for them a helper. (145) Except those who
shall yet repent and amend and hold fast by repent Allah and make their religion exclusive
for Allah. These then shall be with the believers, and presently Allah shall give the believers
a mighty hire. (146) What will Allah do with your torment, if ye return thanks and believe?
And Allah is ever Appreciative, Knowing. (147) Allah approveth not the publishment of evil
speech, unless by one who hath been wronged; and Allah is ever Hearing, Knowing. (148)
Whether ye disclose a good or conceal it, or pardon an evil, then verily Allah is ever
Pardoning potent. (149) Verily those who disbelieve in Allah and His apostles, and would
differentiate between Allah, and His apostles, and say: some we believe in and others we
deny; and they would take a way in between this and that. (150) These: they are the infidels
in very truth, and We have gotten ready for the infidels a torment ignominious. (151) And
those who believe in Allah and His apostles and differentiate not between any of them, anon
We shall give them their hire; and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. (152) The people of the
Book ask thee to bring down a Book to them from the heaven. But surely they asked Musa a
thing greater than that; they said: shew us God manifestly; whencefore the thunderbolt
overtook them for their wrong-doing. Then they took a calf after there had come unto them
the evidences. Even so We pardoned that, and We gave Musa a manifest authority. (153)
And We raised the Mount over them for their bond. And We said unto them: enter the portal
prostrating yourselves. And We said unto them: transgress not in the matter of the Sabbath
and We took from them a firm bond. (154) Accursed are they then for their breach of the
bond and their rejecting the commandments of Allah and their slaying the prophets without
justification, and their saying: our hearts are uncircumcised. Aye! Allah hath set a seal upon
them for their infidelity, wherefore they believe not but a little. (155) And for their
blasphemy and for their speaking against Maryam a mighty calumny. (156) And for their
saying: verily We have slain the Messiah Isa son of Maryam, an apostle of Allah, whereas
they slew him not, nor they crucified him but it was made dubious unto them. And verily
those who differ therein are in doubt thereof, they have no knowledge thereof; they but
follow an opinion; and surely they slew him not. (157) But Allah raised him unto Himself; and
Allah is ever Mighty, Wise. (158) And there is none among the people of the Book but shall
surely believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Judgement he shall be a witness
against them. (159) Wherefore because of the wrongdoing on the part of those who are
Judaised We forbade unto them the clean things that had been allowed unto them, and also
because of their keeping away many from Allahs way; (160) And also because of their taking
usury whereas they were prohibited therefrom, and also because of their devouring the
riches of men unlawfully. And for the infidels among them We have gotten ready a torment
afflictive. (161) But of them those well-grounded in the Knowledge and the believers believe
in that which hath been sent down unto thee and that which hath been sent down before
thee, and the establishers of prayer and the givers of the poor-rate and the believers in Allah
and the Last Day- those: unto them anon We shall give a mighty hire. (162) Verily We have
revealed unto thee even as We revealed unto Nuh and the prophets after him, and as We
revealed unto Ibrahim and Ismail and Is-haq and Yaqub and the tribes, and Isa and Ayyub
and Yunus and Harun and Sulaiman, and unto Daud We vouchsafed a Scripture. (163) And
We Revealed unto apostles of some of whom We have narrated unto thee aforetime and of
others of whom We have not narrated unto thee; and unto Musa Allah spake directly. (164)
We sent all these apostles as bearers of glad tidings and warners in order that there be no
plea for mankind against Allah, after the apostle; and Allah is ever Mighty Wise. (165) How
be it Allah beareth witness by that which He hath sent down unto thee He sent it down with
His own knowledge and the angels also bear witness; and sufficieth Allah as a Witness. (166)
Verily those who disbelieve and keep others from the way of Allah, have surely strayed far
away. (167) Verily those who have disbelieved and done wrong, Allah is not one to forgive
them nor to guide them to any way. (168) Except the way to Hell, as abiders therein for
ever, and this unto Allah is ever easy. (169) O ye mankind! assuredly there hath come unto
you the Prophet with the truth from your Lord wherefore believe that it may be well for you.
And if ye disbelieve, then verily Allahs is whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth; and
Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. (170) O ye people of the Book; exceed not the bounds in Your
religion, and say not of Allah save that which is the truth. The Messiah Isa, son of Maryam, is
but an apostle of Allah and His word --He cast it upon Maryam-- and a spirit from Him.
Believe wherefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not: three. Desist, that it may be well
for you. Allah is but the One God: hallowed be He that there should be unto Him a son! His is
whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and sufficeth Allah as a Trustee. (171) The
Messiah disdaineth not that he should be a bondman of Allah, nor do the angels brought
near. And whosoever disdaineth serving Him and stiff-necked, anon He shall gather them all
unto Him. (172) Then as to those who have believed and worked righteous works, He shall
give unto them their hire in full and shall give unto them an increase out of His grace. And
as to those who disdained and were stiff-necked, He shall torment them with a torment
afflictive. And they shall not find for themselves, against Allah, a protecting friend or a
helper. (173) O ye mankind! there surely hath come unto you a proof from your Lord, and
We have sent down unto you a manifest light. (174) Then as to those who believe in Allah
and hold fast by Him, anon He shall make them enter into a mercy from Himself and grace
and shall lead them unto Himself by a path straight. (175) They ask thee for
pronouncement. Say thou: Allah pronounceth thus in the matter of one without father or
child: if a person perisheth and hath no child, but hath a sister, hers shall be the half of that
which he hath left: and he shall be her heir if she hath no child, if there be two sisters, then
theirs shall be two-third of that which he hath left; and if there be both brothers and sisters,
then male shall have as much as the portion of two females. Allah expoundeth unto you, lest
ye err; and Allah is of everything Knower. (176)
