58. Al-Mujadila

قَدْIndeedسَمِعَAllah has heardٱللَّهُAllah has heardقَوْلَ(the) speechٱلَّتِى(of one) whoتُجَٰدِلُكَdisputes with youفِىconcerningزَوْجِهَاher husbandوَتَشْتَكِىٓand she directs her complaintإِلَىtoٱللَّهِAllahوَٱللَّهُAnd Allahيَسْمَعُhearsتَحَاوُرَكُمَآ(the) dialogue of both of youإِنَّIndeedٱللَّهَAllahسَمِيعٌۢ(is) All-HearerبَصِيرٌAll-Seer﴿١﴾

Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you, [O Muhammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allah. And Allah hears your dialogue; indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing

ٱلَّذِينَThose whoيُظَٰهِرُونَpronounce ziharمِنكُمamong youمِّن[from]نِّسَآئِهِم(to) their wivesمَّاnotهُنَّtheyأُمَّهَٰتِهِمْ(are) their mothersإِنْNotأُمَّهَٰتُهُمْ(are) their mothersإِلَّاexceptٱلَّٰٓـِٔىthose whoوَلَدْنَهُمْgave them birthوَإِنَّهُمْAnd indeed, theyلَيَقُولُونَsurely sayمُنكَرًاan evilمِّنَ[of]ٱلْقَوْلِ[the] wordوَزُورًاand a lieوَإِنَّBut indeedٱللَّهَAllahلَعَفُوٌّ(is) surely, Oft-PardoningغَفُورٌOft-Forgiving﴿٢﴾

Those who pronounce thihar among you [to separate] from their wives - they are not [consequently] their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. And indeed, they are saying an objectionable statement and a falsehood. But indeed, Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving

وَٱلَّذِينَAnd those whoيُظَٰهِرُونَpronounce ziharمِن[from]نِّسَآئِهِمْ(to) their wivesثُمَّthenيَعُودُونَgo backلِمَاon whatقَالُوا۟they saidفَتَحْرِيرُthen freeingرَقَبَةٍ(of) a slaveمِّنbeforeقَبْلِbeforeأَن[that]يَتَمَآسَّاthey touch each otherذَٰلِكُمْThatتُوعَظُونَyou are admonishedبِهِۦto itوَٱللَّهُAnd Allahبِمَاof whatتَعْمَلُونَyou doخَبِيرٌ(is) All-Aware﴿٣﴾

And those who pronounce thihar from their wives and then [wish to] go back on what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allah is Acquainted with what you do

And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That is for you to believe [completely] in Allah and His Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allah. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment

Indeed, those who oppose Allah and His Messenger are abased as those before them were abased. And We have certainly sent down verses of clear evidence. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment

On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did. Allah had enumerated it, while they forgot it; and Allah is, over all things, Witness

أَلَمْDo notتَرَyou seeأَنَّthatٱللَّهَAllahيَعْلَمُknowsمَاwhateverفِى(is) inٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِthe heavensوَمَاand whateverفِى(is) inٱلْأَرْضِthe earthمَاNotيَكُونُthere isمِنanyنَّجْوَىٰsecret counselثَلَٰثَةٍ(of) threeإِلَّاbutهُوَHe (is)رَابِعُهُمْ(the) fourth of themوَلَاand notخَمْسَةٍfiveإِلَّاbutهُوَHe (is)سَادِسُهُمْ(the) sixth of themوَلَآand notأَدْنَىٰlessمِنthanذَٰلِكَthatوَلَآand notأَكْثَرَmoreإِلَّاbutهُوَHeمَعَهُمْ(is) with themأَيْنَwhereverمَاwhereverكَانُوا۟they areثُمَّThenيُنَبِّئُهُمHe will inform themبِمَاof whatعَمِلُوا۟they didيَوْمَ(on the) Dayٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ(of) the ResurrectionإِنَّIndeedٱللَّهَAllahبِكُلِّof everyشَىْءٍthingعَلِيمٌ(is) All-Knower﴿٧﴾

Have you not considered that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There is in no private conversation three but that He is the fourth of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them - and no less than that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, of all things, Knowing

أَلَمْDo notتَرَyou seeإِلَى[to]ٱلَّذِينَthose whoنُهُوا۟were forbiddenعَنِfromٱلنَّجْوَىٰsecret counselsثُمَّthenيَعُودُونَthey returnلِمَاto whatنُهُوا۟they were forbiddenعَنْهُfrom [it]وَيَتَنَٰجَوْنَand they hold secret counselsبِٱلْإِثْمِfor sinوَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِand aggressionوَمَعْصِيَتِand disobedienceٱلرَّسُولِ(to) the MessengerوَإِذَاAnd whenجَآءُوكَthey come to youحَيَّوْكَthey greet youبِمَاwith whatلَمْnotيُحَيِّكَgreets youبِهِtherewithٱللَّهُAllahوَيَقُولُونَand they sayفِىٓamongأَنفُسِهِمْthemselvesلَوْلَاWhy (does) notيُعَذِّبُنَاAllah punish usٱللَّهُAllah punish usبِمَاfor whatنَقُولُwe sayحَسْبُهُمْSufficient (for) themجَهَنَّمُ(is) Hellيَصْلَوْنَهَاthey will burn in itفَبِئْسَand worst isٱلْمَصِيرُthe destination﴿٨﴾

Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation, then they return to that which they were forbidden and converse among themselves about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to you, they greet you with that [word] by which Allah does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the destination

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاO you who believeٱلَّذِينَO you who believeءَامَنُوٓا۟O you who believeإِذَاWhenتَنَٰجَيْتُمْyou hold secret counselفَلَاthen (do) notتَتَنَٰجَوْا۟hold secret counselبِٱلْإِثْمِfor sinوَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِand aggressionوَمَعْصِيَتِand disobedienceٱلرَّسُولِ(to) the Messengerوَتَنَٰجَوْا۟but hold secret counselبِٱلْبِرِّfor righteousnessوَٱلتَّقْوَىٰand pietyوَٱتَّقُوا۟And fearٱللَّهَAllahٱلَّذِىٓthe One Whoإِلَيْهِto Himتُحْشَرُونَyou will be gathered﴿٩﴾

O you who have believed, when you converse privately, do not converse about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger but converse about righteousness and piety. And fear Allah, to whom you will be gathered

إِنَّمَاOnlyٱلنَّجْوَىٰthe secret counselsمِنَ(are) fromٱلشَّيْطَٰنِthe Shaitaanلِيَحْزُنَthat he may grieveٱلَّذِينَthose whoءَامَنُوا۟believeوَلَيْسَbut notبِضَآرِّهِمْhe (can) harm themشَيْـًٔا(in) anythingإِلَّاexceptبِإِذْنِby Allah's permissionٱللَّهِby Allah's permissionوَعَلَىAnd uponٱللَّهِAllahفَلْيَتَوَكَّلِlet put (their) trustٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَthe believers﴿١٠﴾

Private conversation is only from Satan that he may grieve those who have believed, but he will not harm them at all except by permission of Allah. And upon Allah let the believers rely

O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in assemblies, then make space; Allah will make space for you. And when you are told, "Arise," then arise; Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاO you who believeٱلَّذِينَO you who believeءَامَنُوٓا۟O you who believeإِذَاWhenنَٰجَيْتُمُyou privately consultٱلرَّسُولَthe Messengerفَقَدِّمُوا۟then offerبَيْنَbeforeيَدَىْbeforeنَجْوَىٰكُمْyour private consultationصَدَقَةًcharityذَٰلِكَThatخَيْرٌ(is) betterلَّكُمْfor youوَأَطْهَرُand purerفَإِنBut ifلَّمْnotتَجِدُوا۟you findفَإِنَّthen indeedٱللَّهَAllahغَفُورٌ(is) Oft-ForgivingرَّحِيمٌMost Merciful﴿١٢﴾

O you who have believed, when you [wish to] privately consult the Messenger, present before your consultation a charity. That is better for you and purer. But if you find not [the means] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful

ءَأَشْفَقْتُمْAre you afraidأَنtoتُقَدِّمُوا۟offerبَيْنَbeforeيَدَىْbeforeنَجْوَىٰكُمْyour private consultationصَدَقَٰتٍcharitiesفَإِذْThen whenلَمْyou do notتَفْعَلُوا۟you do notوَتَابَand Allah has forgivenٱللَّهُand Allah has forgivenعَلَيْكُمْyouفَأَقِيمُوا۟then establishٱلصَّلَوٰةَthe prayerوَءَاتُوا۟and giveٱلزَّكَوٰةَthe zakahوَأَطِيعُوا۟and obeyٱللَّهَAllahوَرَسُولَهُۥand His MessengerوَٱللَّهُAnd Allahخَبِيرٌۢ(is) All-Awareبِمَاof whatتَعْمَلُونَyou do﴿١٣﴾

Have you feared to present before your consultation charities? Then when you do not and Allah has forgiven you, then [at least] establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do

Have you not considered those who make allies of a people with whom Allah has become angry? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear to untruth while they know [they are lying]

They took their [false] oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allah, and for them is a humiliating punishment

Never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allah at all. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally

On the Day Allah will resurrect them all, and they will swear to Him as they swear to you and think that they are [standing] on something. Unquestionably, it is they who are the liars
