Al-Mujadila

قَدْ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوْلَ ٱلَّتِى تُجَـٰدِلُكَ فِى زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَآ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ

Q̣ad samiʻal laahu q̣awlal latee tujaadiluka fee zawjihaa wa-tashtakeee ʹilal laah: wallaahu yasmaʻu taḥaawurakumaa: ʹinnal laaha Sameeʻum Baṣeer.

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

ٱلَّذِينَ يُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِهِم مَّا هُنَّ أُمَّهَـٰتِهِمْ ۖ إِنْ أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمْ إِلَّا ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى وَلَدْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنكَرًا مِّنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَزُورًا ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ

ʹAllaẓeena yuz̤̣aahiroona miñkum min nisaaaʹihim maa hunna ʹummahaatihim: ʹin ʹummahaatuhum ʹillal laaaʹee wa-ladnahum. Wa-ʹinnahum layaq̣ooloona muñkaram minal q̣awli wa-zooraa: wa-ʹinnal laaha laʻAfuwwun G̣afoor.

Those who pronounce ẓihār 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, Allāh is Pardoning and Forgiving.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِن نِّسَآئِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُوا۟ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَتَمَآسَّا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

Wallaẓeena yuz̤̣aahiroona min nisaaaʹihim s̤umma yaʻoodoona limaa q̣aaloo fataḥreeru raq̣abatim miñ q̣abli ʹañy yatamaaassaa: ẓaalikum tooʻaz̤̣oona bih: wallaahu bimaa taʻmaloona khabeer.

And those who pronounce ẓihār 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 Allāh is Aware of what you do.

فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَتَمَآسَّا ۖ فَمَن لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَإِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۚ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Famal lam yajid faṣiyaamu shahrayni mutataabiʻayni miñ q̣abli ʹañy yatamaaassaa. Famal lam yastaṭiʻ faʹiṭʻaamu sitteena miskeenaa. Ẓaalika lituʹminoo billahi wa-Rasoolih-Wa tilka Ḥudoodul laah; Wa-lilkaafireena ʻAẓaabun ʹaleem.

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 Allāh and His Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allāh. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَآدُّونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ كُبِتُوا۟ كَمَا كُبِتَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ ءَايَـٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ ۚ وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ

ʹInnal laẓeena yuḥaaaddoonal laaha wa-Rasoolahoo kubitoo kamaa kubital laẓeena miñ q̣ablihim wa-q̣ad ʹañzalnaaa ʹAayaatim Bayyinaat. Wa-lilkaafireena ʻAẓaabum muheen,―

Indeed, those who oppose Allāh 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

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓا۟ ۚ أَحْصَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

Yawma yabʻas̤uhumul laahu jameeʹañ fayunabbiʹuhum̃ bimaa ʻamiloo. ʹAḥṣaahul laahu wa-nasooh: wallaahu ʻalaa kulli shayʹiñ Shaheed.

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

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ مَا يَكُونُ مِن نَّجْوَىٰ ثَلَـٰثَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلَآ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْثَرَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كَانُوا۟ ۖ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

ʹAlam tara ʹannal laaha yaʻlamu maa- fis samaawaati wa-maa fil ʹarḍ? Maa- yakoonu min najwaa s̤alaas̤atin ʹillaa Huwa raabiʻuhum wa-laa khamsatin ʹillaa Huwa saadisuhum wa-laaa ʹadnaa miñ ẓaalika wa-laaa ʹaks̤ara ʹillaa Huwa maʻahum ʹayna maa kaanoo: s̤umma yunabbiʹuhum̃ bimaa ʻamiloo Yawmal Q̣iyaamah. ʹInnal laaha bikulli shayʹin ʻAleem.

Have you not considered that Allāh knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There are not three in a private conversation 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 Allāh is, of all things, Knowing.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ نُهُوا۟ عَنِ ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَيَتَنَـٰجَوْنَ بِٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَإِذَا جَآءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ ٱللَّهُ وَيَقُولُونَ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا ٱللَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُ ۚ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ يَصْلَوْنَهَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

ʹAlam tara ʹilal laẓeena nuhoo ʻanin najwaa s̤umma yaʻoodoona limaa nuhoo ʻanhu wa-yatanaajawna bil-ʹis̤mi walʻudwaani wa-maʻṣiyatir Rasool. Wa-ʹiẓaa jaaaʹooka ḥayyawka bimaa lam yuḥayyika bihil laahu wa-yaq̣ooloona feee ʹañfusihim Law-laa yuʻaẓẓibunal laahu bimaa naq̣ool? Ḥasbuhum Jahannam: yaṣlawnahaa, fabiʹsal maṣeer!

Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation [i.e., ridicule and conspiracy] and then 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 Allāh does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why does Allāh not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the destination.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا تَنَـٰجَيْتُمْ فَلَا تَتَنَـٰجَوْا۟ بِٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَتَنَـٰجَوْا۟ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹiẓaa tanaajaytum falaa tatanaajaw bil-ʹis̤mi wal-ʻudwaani wa-maʻsiyatir Rasooli wa-tanaajaw bil-birri wattaq̣waa; wattaq̣ul laahal laẓeee ʹilayhi tuḥsharoon.

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 Allāh, to whom you will be gathered.

إِنَّمَا ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ لِيَحْزُنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَيْسَ بِضَآرِّهِمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ

ʹInnaman najwaa minash Shayṭaani liyaḥzunal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-laysa biḍaaarrihim shayʹan ʹillaa biʹiẓnil laah; wa-ʻalal laahi falyatawakkalil Muʹminoon.

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 Allāh. And upon Allāh let the believers rely.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا۟ فِى ٱلْمَجَـٰلِسِ فَٱفْسَحُوا۟ يَفْسَحِ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا قِيلَ ٱنشُزُوا۟ فَٱنشُزُوا۟ يَرْفَعِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ دَرَجَـٰتٍ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹiẓaa q̣eela lakum tafassaḥoo fil majaalisi fafsahoo yafsaḥil laahu lakum. Wa-ʹiẓaa q̣eelañ shuzoo fañshuzoo yarfaʻil laahul laẓeena ʹaamanoo miñkum wallaẓeena ʹootul ʻIlma darajaat. Wallaahu bimaa taʻmaloona khabeer.

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

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نَـٰجَيْتُمُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُوا۟ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ نَجْوَىٰكُمْ صَدَقَةً ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَطْهَرُ ۚ فَإِن لَّمْ تَجِدُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹiẓaa naajaytumur Rasoola faq̣addimoo bayna yaday najwaakum ṣadaq̣ah. Ẓaalika khayrul lakum wa-ʹaṭhar. Faʹil lam tajidoo faʹinnal laaha G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

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, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

ءَأَشْفَقْتُمْ أَن تُقَدِّمُوا۟ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ نَجْوَىٰكُمْ صَدَقَـٰتٍ ۚ فَإِذْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا۟ وَتَابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

ʹAʹashfaq̣tum ʹañ tuq̣addimoo bayna yaday najwaakum ṣadaq̣aat? Faʹiẓ lam tafʻaloo wa-taabal laahu ʻalaykum faʹaq̣eemuṣ Ṣalaata wa-ʹaatuz Zakaata wa-ʹaṭeeʻul laaha wa-Rasoolah. Wallaahu khabeerum bimaa taʻmaloon.

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

۞ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا۟ قَوْمًا غَضِبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا هُم مِّنكُمْ وَلَا مِنْهُمْ وَيَحْلِفُونَ عَلَى ٱلْكَذِبِ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

ʹAlam tara ʹilal lazeena tawallaw q̣awman g̣aḍibal laahu ʻalayhim? Maa- hum miñkum wa-laa minhum wa-yaḥlifoona ʻalal kaẓibi wa-hum yaʻlamoon.

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

أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

ʹAʻaddal laahu lahum ʻaẓaabañ shadeedaa: ʹinnahum saaaʹa maa- kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

Allāh has prepared for them a severe punishment. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.

ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَيْمَـٰنَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ

ʹIttakhaẓooo ʹaymaanahum junnatañ faṣaddoo ʻañ Sabeelil laahi falahum ʻAẓaabum muheen.

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

لَّن تُغْنِىَ عَنْهُمْ أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ

Lañ tug̣niya ʻanhum ʹamwaaluhum wa-laaa ʹawlaaduhum minal laahi shayʹaa: ʹulaaaʹika ʹAṣḥaabun Naar; hum feehaa khaalidoon.

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

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَهُۥ كَمَا يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ ۖ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلْكَـٰذِبُونَ

Yawma yabʻas̤uhumul laahu jameeʻañ fayaḥlifoona lahoo kamaa yaḥlifoona lakum wa-yaḥsaboona ʹannahum ʻalaa shayʹ. ʹAlaaa ʹinnahum humul kaaẓiboon!

On the Day Allāh 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.

ٱسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ ذِكْرَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّ حِزْبَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ

ʹIstaḥwaẓa ʻalayhimush Shayṭaanu faʹañsaahum ẓikral laah. ʹUlaaaʹika Ḥizbush Shayṭaan. ʹAlaaa ʹinna Ḥizbash Shayṭaani humul khaasiroon!

Satan has overcome them and made them forget the remembrance of Allāh. Those are the party of Satan. Unquestionably, the party of Satan - they will be the losers.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَآدُّونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ٱلْأَذَلِّينَ

ʹInnal laẓeena yuḥaaaddoonal laaha wa-Rasoolahooo ʹulaaaʹika fil ʹaẓalleen.

Indeed, the ones who oppose Allāh and His Messenger - those will be among the most humbled.

كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا۠ وَرُسُلِىٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ

Katabal laahu laʹag̣libanna ʹana wa-rusulee: ʹinnal laaha Q̣awiyyun ʻAzeez.

Allāh has written [i.e., decreed], "I will surely overcome, I and My messengers." Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ يُوَآدُّونَ مَنْ حَآدَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَانُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَٰنَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ كَتَبَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلْإِيمَـٰنَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ ۖ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ رَضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّ حِزْبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

You will not find a people who believe in Allāh and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. Those - He has decreed within their hearts faith and supported them with spirit from Him. And We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Allāh is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him - those are the party of Allāh. Unquestionably, the party of Allāh - they are the successful.
