The Women سورة النساء

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم













O
mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and
created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many
men and women. And fear Allah , through whom you ask one
another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an
Observer.









And
give to the orphans their properties and do not substitute
the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs]. And do
not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is
ever a great sin.









And
if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan
girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two
or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just,
then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses.
That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].









And
give the women [upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts
graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of
it, then take it in satisfaction and ease.







And
do not give the weak-minded your property, which Allah has
made a means of sustenance for you, but provide for them with
it and clothe them and speak to them words of appropriate
kindness.









And
test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach
marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement,
release their property to them. And do not consume it
excessively and quickly, [anticipating] that they will grow up.
And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient
should refrain [from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let
him take according to what is acceptable. Then when you
release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And
sufficient is Allah as Accountant.









For
men is a share of what the parents and close relatives
leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close
relatives leave, be it little or much - an obligatory share.









And
when [other] relatives and orphans and the needy are present
at the [time of] division, then provide for them [something]
out of the estate and speak to them words of appropriate
kindness.










And
let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if
they [themselves] had left weak offspring behind and feared for
them. So let them fear Allah and speak words of appropriate
justice.









Indeed,
those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only
consuming into their bellies fire. And they will be burned in a
Blaze.









Allah
instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is
equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only]
daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's
estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for
one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate
if he left children. But if he had no children and the
parents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one
third. And if he had brothers [or sisters], for his mother is
a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your
parents or your children - you know not which of them are
nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation
[imposed] by Allah . Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.









And
for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no
child. But if they have a child, for you is one fourth of
what they leave, after any bequest they [may have] made or
debt. And for the wives is one fourth if you leave no child.
But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of
what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt.
And if a man or woman leaves neither ascendants nor
descendants but has a brother or a sister, then for each one
of them is a sixth. But if they are more than two, they
share a third, after any bequest which was made or debt, as
long as there is no detriment [caused]. [This is] an ordinance
from Allah , and Allah is Knowing and Forbearing.









These
are the limits [set by] Allah , and whoever obeys Allah and
His Messenger will be admitted by Him to gardens [in Paradise]
under which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein; and that is
the great attainment.









And
whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His
limits - He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally
therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment.









Those
who commit unlawful اللهم اهدنيual intercourse of your women - bring
against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they
testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes
them or Allah ordains for them [another] way.









And
the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both. But if
they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed,
Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful.









The
repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong
in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It
is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is
ever Knowing and Wise.









But
repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do
evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he
says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while
they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful
punishment.









O
you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit
women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in
order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they
commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For
if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah
makes therein much good.









But
if you want to replace one wife with another and you have
given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take
[back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and
manifest sin?









And
how could you take it while you have gone in unto each
other and they have taken from you a solemn covenant?









And
do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except
what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and
hateful [to Allah ] and was evil as a way.









Prohibited
to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your
sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your
brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers
who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives'
mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born]
of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have
not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also
prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your
[own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters
simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed,
Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.

And
[also prohibited to you are all] married women except those
your right hands possess. [This is] the decree of Allah upon
you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these,
[provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from]
your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful اللهم اهدنيual intercourse.
So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them
their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame
upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the
obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.









And
whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free,
believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right
hands possess of believing slave girls. And Allah is most
knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another.
So marry them with the permission of their people and give
them their due compensation according to what is acceptable.
[They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful
intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers. But
once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit
adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free
[unmarried] women. This [allowance] is for him among you who
fears sin, but to be patient is better for you. And Allah is
Forgiving and Merciful.









Allah
wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful]
and guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and
to accept your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.









Allah
wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their]
passions want you to digress [into] a great deviation.









And Allah wants to lighten for you [your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak.









O
you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth
unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And
do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is to you
ever Merciful.








And
whoever does that in aggression and injustice - then We
will drive him into a Fire. And that, for Allah , is [always]
easy.
If
you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will
remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble
entrance [into Paradise].






And
do not wish for that by which Allah has made some of you
exceed others. For men is a share of what they have earned,
and for women is a share of what they have earned. And ask
Allah of his bounty. Indeed Allah is ever, of all things,
Knowing.









And
for all, We have made heirs to what is left by parents and
relatives. And to those whom your oaths have bound [to you] -
give them their share. Indeed Allah is ever, over all things,
a Witness.






Men
are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given
one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from
their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding
in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard.
But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first]
advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and
[finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek
no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.









And
if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator
from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they
both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them.
Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things].









Worship
Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good,
and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the
neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler,
and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not
like those who are self-deluding and boastful.









Who
are stingy and enjoin upon [other] people stinginess and
conceal what Allah has given them of His bounty - and We have
prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment -









And
[also] those who spend of their wealth to be seen by the
people and believe not in Allah nor in the Last Day. And he
to whom Satan is a companion - then evil is he as a
companion.









And
what [harm would come] upon them if they believed in Allah
and the Last Day and spent out of what Allah provided for them?
And Allah is ever, about them, Knowing.









Indeed,
Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's
weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and
gives from Himself a great reward.









So
how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness
and we bring you, [O Muhammad] against these [people] as a
witness?









That
Day, those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger will
wish they could be covered by the earth. And they will not
conceal from Allah a [single] statement.









O
you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are
intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state
of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer],
until you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill
or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of
relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no
water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and
your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and
Forgiving.









Have
you not seen those who were given a portion of the
Scripture, purchasing error [in exchange for it] and wishing you
would lose the way?









And
Allah is most knowing of your enemies; and sufficient is Allah
as an ally, and sufficient is Allah as a helper.









Among
the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper]
usages and say, "We hear and disobey" and "Hear but be not
heard" and "Ra'ina," twisting their tongues and defaming the
religion. And if they had said [instead], "We hear and obey"
and "Wait for us [to understand]," it would have been better
for them and more suitable. But Allah has cursed them for their
disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.









O
you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have
sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you,
before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or
curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the
decree of Allah accomplished.









Indeed,
Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives
what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who
associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous
sin.









Have
you not seen those who claim themselves to be pure? Rather,
Allah purifies whom He wills, and injustice is not done to
them, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed].









Look how they invent about Allah untruth, and sufficient is that as a manifest sin.









Have
you not seen those who were given a portion of the
Scripture, who believe in superstition and false objects of
worship and say about the disbelievers, "These are better guided
than the believers as to the way"?









Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed; and he whom Allah curses - never will you find for him a helper.









Or
have they a share of dominion? Then [if that were so], they
would not give the people [even as much as] the speck on a
date seed.









Or
do they envy people for what Allah has given them of His
bounty? But we had already given the family of Abraham the
Scripture and wisdom and conferred upon them a great kingdom.









And
some among them believed in it, and some among them were
averse to it. And sufficient is Hell as a blaze.









Indeed,
those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them
into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through We
will replace them with other skins so they may taste the
punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.




4:57









But
those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will admit
them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide
forever. For them therein are purified spouses, and We will
admit them to deepening shade.









Indeed,
Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and
when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent
is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing
and Seeing.









O
you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and
those in authority among you. And if you disagree over
anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should
believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and
best in result.









Have
you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was
revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before
you? They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were
commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far
astray.









And
when it is said to them, "Come to what Allah has revealed
and to the Messenger," you see the hypocrites turning away from
you in aversion.









So
how [will it be] when disaster strikes them because of what
their hands have put forth and then they come to you swearing
by Allah , "We intended nothing but good conduct and
accommodation."









Those
are the ones of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts, so
turn away from them but admonish them and speak to them a
far-reaching word.









And
We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by
permission of Allah . And if, when they wronged themselves, they
had come to you, [O Muhammad], and asked forgiveness of Allah
and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would
have found Allah Accepting of repentance and Merciful.









But
no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they
make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they
dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no
discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full,
willing] submission.









And
if We had decreed upon them, "Kill yourselves" or "Leave
your homes," they would not have done it, except for a few of
them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it
would have been better for them and a firmer position [for
them in faith].









And then We would have given them from Us a great reward.









And We would have guided them to a straight path.

And
whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger - those will be with
the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets,
the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous.
And excellent are those as companions.









That is the bounty from Allah , and sufficient is Allah as Knower.









O you who have believed, take your precaution and [either] go forth in companies or go forth all together.






And
indeed, there is among you he who lingers behind; and if
disaster strikes you, he says, " Allah has favored me in that I
was not present with them."









But
if bounty comes to you from Allah , he will surely say, as
if there had never been between you and him any affection.
"Oh, I wish I had been with them so I could have attained a
great attainment."

So
let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of
this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause
of Allah and is killed or achieves victory - We will bestow
upon him a great reward.









And
what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the
cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and
children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of
oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector
and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?"









Those
who believe fight in the cause of Allah , and those who
disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the
allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.









Have
you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from
fighting] and establish prayer and give zakah"? But then when
fighting was ordained for them, at once a party of them
feared men as they fear Allah or with [even] greater fear. They
said, "Our Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If
only You had postponed [it for] us for a short time." Say,
The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is
better for he who fears Allah . And injustice will not be done
to you, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]."









Wherever
you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be
within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to
them, they say, "This is from Allah "; and if evil befalls
them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are
from Allah ." So what is [the matter] with those people that
they can hardly understand any statement?






What
comes to you of good is from Allah , but what comes to you
of evil, [O man], is from yourself. And We have sent you, [O
Muhammad], to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is
Allah as Witness.









He
who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah ; but those who turn
away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian.









And
they say, "[We pledge] obedience." But when they leave you, a
group of them spend the night determining to do other than
what you say. But Allah records what they plan by night. So
leave them alone and rely upon Allah . And sufficient is Allah
as Disposer of affairs.









Then
do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from
[any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much
contradiction.









And
when there comes to them information about [public] security
or fear, they spread it around. But if they had referred it
back to the Messenger or to those of authority among them,
then the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it would
have known about it. And if not for the favor of Allah upon
you and His mercy, you would have followed Satan, except for a
few.









So
fight, [O Muhammad], in the cause of Allah ; you are not
held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers
[to join you] that perhaps Allah will restrain the [military]
might of those who disbelieve. And Allah is greater in might
and stronger in [exemplary] punishment.









Whoever
intercedes for a good cause will have a reward therefrom;
and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a burden
therefrom. And ever is Allah , over all things, a Keeper.









And
when you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with
one better than it or [at least] return it [in a like
manner]. Indeed, Allah is ever, over all things, an Accountant.









Allah
- there is no deity except Him. He will surely assemble you
for [account on] the Day of Resurrection, about which there
is no doubt. And who is more truthful than Allah in statement.








What
is [the matter] with you [that you are] two groups
concerning the hypocrites, while Allah has made them fall back
[into error and disbelief] for what they earned. Do you wish
to guide those whom Allah has sent astray? And he whom Allah
sends astray - never will you find for him a way [of
guidance].



They
wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would
be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they
emigrate for the cause of Allah . But if they turn away, then
seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not
from among them any ally or helper.









Except
for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves
and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts
strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their
own people. And if Allah had willed, He could have given them
power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they
remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you
peace, then Allah has not made for you a cause [for fighting]
against them.









You
will find others who wish to obtain security from you and
[to] obtain security from their people. Every time they are
returned to [the influence of] disbelief, they fall back into
it. So if they do not withdraw from you or offer you peace
or restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever
you overtake them. And those - We have made for you against
them a clear authorization.









And
never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by
mistake. And whoever kills a believer by mistake - then the
freeing of a believing slave and a compensation payment
presented to the deceased's family [is required] unless they
give [up their right as] charity. But if the deceased was from
a people at war with you and he was a believer - then
[only] the freeing of a believing slave; and if he was from a
people with whom you have a treaty - then a compensation
payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing
slave. And whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to
buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months
consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allah . And
Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.









But
whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is
Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry
with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a
great punishment.









O
you who have believed, when you go forth [to fight] in the
cause of Allah , investigate; and do not say to one who gives
you [a greeting of] peace "You are not a believer," aspiring
for the goods of worldly life; for with Allah are many
acquisitions. You [yourselves] were like that before; then Allah
conferred His favor upon you, so investigate. Indeed Allah is
ever, with what you do, Acquainted.









Not
equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than
the disabled - and the mujahideen, [who strive and fight] in
the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has
preferred the mujahideen through their wealth and their lives
over those who remain [behind], by degrees. And to both Allah
has promised the best [reward]. But Allah has preferred the
mujahideen over those who remain [behind] with a great reward -









Degrees [of high position] from Him and forgiveness and mercy. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.









Indeed,
those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging
themselves - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were
you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." The
angels will say, "Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough]
for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell -
and evil it is as a destination.









Except
for the oppressed among men, women and children who cannot
devise a plan nor are they directed to a way -









For those it is expected that Allah will pardon them, and Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.









And
whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the
earth many [alternative] locations and abundance. And whoever
leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and
then death overtakes him - his reward has already become
incumbent upon Allah . And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
