In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful
- Allah has heard the statement of she who
argued with you concerning her husband, as
she complained to Allah. Allah heard your
conversation. Allah is Hearing and Seeing. - Those of you who estrange their wives by
equating them with their mothers—they are
not their mothers. Their mothers are none
else but those who gave birth to them. What
they say is evil, and a blatant lie. But Allah is
Pardoning and Forgiving. - Those who estrange their wives by equating
them with their mothers, then go back on
what they said, must set free a slave before
they may touch one another. To this you are
exhorted, and Allah is well aware of what you
do. - But whoever cannot find the means must
fast for two consecutive months before they
may touch one another. And if he is unable,
then the feeding of sixty needy people. This,
in order that you affirm your faith in Allah
and His Messenger. These are the ordinances of Allah. The unbelievers will have a painful punishment. - Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger will be subdued, as those before them
were subdued. We have revealed clear messages. The unbelievers will have a demeaning
punishment. - On the Day when Allah resurrects them all,
and informs them of what they did. Allah has
kept count of it, but they have forgotten it.
Allah is Witness over everything. - Do you not realize that Allah knows everything in the heavens and everything on earth?
There is no secret counsel between three, but
He is their fourth; nor between five, but He is
their sixth; nor less than that, nor more, but
He is with them wherever they may be. Then,
on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform
them of what they did. Allah has knowledge
of everything. - Have you noted those who were prohibited
from conspiring secretly, but then reverted to
what they were prohibited from? They conspire to commit sin, and aggression, and defiance of the Messenger. And when they
come to you, they greet you with a greeting
that Allah never greeted you with. And they
say within themselves, “Why does Allah not
punish us for what we say?” Hell is enough
for them. They will roast in it. What a miserable destiny! - O you who believe! When you converse secretly, do not converse in sin, and aggression,
and disobedience of the Messenger; but converse in virtue and piety; And fear Allah, to
Whom you will be gathered. - Conspiracies are from Satan, that he may
dishearten those who believe; but he will not
harm them in the least, except by leave of Allah. So let the believers put their trust in Allah. - O you who believe! When you are told to
make room in your gatherings, make room;
Allah will make room for you. And when you
are told to disperse, disperse. Allah elevates
those among you who believe, and those given knowledge, many steps. Allah is Aware of what you do. - O you who believe! When you converse
privately with the Messenger, offer something in charity before your conversation.
That is better for you, and purer. But if you
do not find the means—Allah is Forgiving
and Merciful. - Are you reluctant to offer charity before
your conversation? If you do not do so, and
Allah pardons you, then perform the prayer,
and give alms, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah is Aware of what you do. - Have you considered those who befriended
a people with whom Allah has become angry?
They are not of you, nor of them. And they
swear to a lie while they know. - Allah has prepared for them a terrible punishment. Evil is what they used to do.
- They took their oaths as a screen, and prevented others from Allah’s path. They will
have a shameful punishment. - Neither their possessions nor their children will avail them anything against Allah.
These are the inhabitants of the Fire, dwelling
therein forever. - On the Day when Allah will resurrect them
altogether—they will swear to Him, as they
swear to you, thinking that they are upon
something. Indeed, they themselves are the
liars. - Satan has taken hold of them, and so has
caused them to forget the remembrance of
Allah. These are the partisans of Satan. Indeed, it is Satan’s partisans who are the losers. - Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger are among the lowliest.
- Allah has written: “I will certainly prevail, I
and My messengers.” Allah is Strong and
Mighty. - You will not find a people who believe in
Allah and the Last Day, loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they
were their parents, or their children, or their
siblings, or their close relatives. These—He has inscribed faith in their hearts, and has supported them with a spirit from Him. And He will admit them into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will dwell forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. These are the partisans of Allah. Indeed, it is Allah’s partisans who are the successful.
