يٰۗاَيُّہَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَاۗ اَحَلَّ اللہُ لَكَ۝۰ۚ تَبْتَغِيْ مَرْضَاتَ اَزْوَاجِكَ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۱
Ya ayyuha alnnabiyyu lima tuharrimu ma ahalla Allahu laka tabtaghee mardata azwajika waAllahu ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

O PROPHET, WHY should you forbid (yourself) what God has made lawful for you, in order to please your wives? Yet God is forgiving and kind.

1

قَدْ فَرَضَ اللہُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّۃَ اَيْمَانِكُمْ۝۰ۚ وَاللہُ مَوْلٰىكُمْ۝۰ۚ وَہُوَالْعَلِيْمُ الْحَكِيْمُ۝۲
Qad farada Allahu lakum tahillata aymanikum waAllahu mawlakum wahuwa alAAaleemu alhakeemu

English

Ahmed Ali

Surely God has sanctioned the dissolution of your vows. God is your Lord: He is all-knowing, and all-wise.

2

وَاِذْ اَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ اِلٰى بَعْضِ اَزْوَاجِہٖ حَدِيْثًا۝۰ۚ فَلَمَّا نَبَّاَتْ بِہٖ وَاَظْہَرَہُ اللہُ عَلَيْہِ عَرَّفَ بَعْضَہٗ وَاَعْرَضَ عَنْۢ بَعْضٍ۝۰ۚ فَلَمَّا نَبَّاَہَا بِہٖ قَالَتْ مَنْ اَنْۢبَاَكَ ہٰذَا۝۰ۭ قَالَ نَبَّاَنِيَ الْعَلِيْمُ الْخَبِيْرُ۝۳
Waith asarra alnnabiyyu ila baAAdi azwajihi hadeethan falamma nabbaat bihi waathharahu Allahu AAalayhi AAarrafa baAAdahu waaAArada AAan baAAdin falamma nabbaaha bihi qalat man anbaaka hatha qala nabbaaniya alAAaleemu alkhabeeru

English

Ahmed Ali

When the Prophet told one of his wives something in confidence and she disclosed it, God revealed this to him. So he made some of it known to her, and held back some. When, however, he informed her about it, she asked: "Who told you this?" He said: "I was told this by the All-knowing, All-Informed."

3

اِنْ تَتُوْبَاۗ اِلَى اللہِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوْبُكُمَا۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ تَظٰہَرَا عَلَيْہِ فَاِنَّ اللہَ ہُوَمَوْلٰىہُ وَجِبْرِيْلُ وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ۝۰ۚ وَالْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ ظَہِيْرٌ۝۴
In tatooba ila Allahi faqad saghat quloobukuma wain tathahara AAalayhi fainna Allaha huwa mawlahu wajibreelu wasalihu almumineena waalmalaikatu baAAda thalika thaheerun

English

Ahmed Ali

If both of you two (women) turn to God in penitence (it would be better). Your hearts have been impaired; and if you assist one another against him, then surely his helper is God, and Gabriel and the righteous believers, and, besides them, the angels are his helpers.

4

عَسٰى رَبُّہٗۗ اِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ اَنْ يُّبْدِلَہٗۗ اَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِّنْكُنَّ مُسْلِمٰتٍ ￁مِنٰتٍ قٰنِتٰتٍ تٰۗىِٕبٰتٍ عٰبِدٰتٍ سٰۗىِٕحٰتٍ ثَيِّبٰتٍ وَّاَبْكَارًا۝۵
AAasa rabbuhu in tallaqakunna an yubdilahu azwajan khayran minkunna muslimatin muminatin qanitatin taibatin AAabidatin saihatin thayyibatin waabkaran

English

Ahmed Ali

In case he divorces you, his Lord will give him better wives in return, who will be modest, true believers, obedient to God, repentant, observant of prayer and fasting, both widows and virgins.

5

يٰۗاَيُّہَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا قُوْۗا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَاَہْلِيْكُمْ نَارًا وَّقُوْدُہَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَۃُ عَلَيْہَا مَلٰۗىِٕكَۃٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُوْنَ اللہَ مَاۗ اَمَرَہُمْ وَيَفْعَلُوْنَ مَا يُؤْمَرُوْنَ۝۶
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo qoo anfusakum waahleekum naran waqooduha alnnasu waalhijaratu AAalayha malaikatun ghilathun shidadun la yaAAsoona Allaha ma amarahum wayafAAaloona ma yumaroona

English

Ahmed Ali

O you who believe, save yourselves and your families from the Fire whose fuel is men and rocks, over which are appointed angels stern and severe as wardens who never disobey what God commands them, and do what they are commanded;

6

يٰۗاَيُّہَا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا الْيَوْمَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۷ۧ
Ya ayyuha allatheena kafaroo la taAAtathiroo alyawma innama tujzawna ma kuntum taAAmaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

(And say:) "O you who do not believe, make no excuses today. You will be requited only for what you had done."

7

يٰۗاَيُّہَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا تُوْبُوْۗا اِلَى اللہِ تَوْبَۃً نَّصُوْحًا۝۰ۭ عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يُّكَفِّرَ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِہَا الْاَنْہٰرُ۝۰ۙ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِي اللہُ النَّبِيَّ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَہٗ۝۰ۚ نُوْرُہُمْ يَسْعٰى بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْہِمْ وَبِاَيْمَانِہِمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَاۗ اَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُوْرَنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا۝۰ۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۝۸
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo tooboo ila Allahi tawbatan nasoohan AAasa rabbukum an yukaffira AAankum sayyiatikum wayudkhilakum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu yawma la yukhzee Allahu alnnabiyya waallatheena amanoo maAAahu nooruhum yasAAa bayna aydeehim wabiaymanihim yaqooloona rabbana atmim lana noorana waighfir lana innaka AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

English

Ahmed Ali

O you who believe, turn to God truly in repentance. Perhaps your Lord may forgive your ills and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing by on the day when God will not humiliate the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will move in front of them and to their right, and they will say: "O Lord, perfect our light and forgive us. You have power over every thing."

8

يٰۗاَيُّہَا النَّبِيُّ جَاہِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَيْہِمْ۝۰ۭ وَمَاْوٰىہُمْ جَہَنَّمُ۝۰ۭ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ۝۹
Ya ayyuha alnnabiyyu jahidi alkuffara waalmunafiqeena waoghluth AAalayhim wamawahum jahannamu wabisa almaseeru

English

Ahmed Ali

O Prophet, fight the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and be severe with them. Their abode is Hell, an evil destination?

9

ضَرَبَ اللہُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا امْرَاَتَ نُوْحٍ وَّ امْرَاَتَ لُوْطٍ۝۰ۭ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتٰہُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْہُمَا مِنَ اللہِ شَيْــــًٔا وَّقِيْلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدّٰخِلِيْنَ۝۱۰
Daraba Allahu mathalan lillatheena kafaroo imraata noohin waimraata lootin kanata tahta AAabdayni min AAibadina salihayni fakhanatahuma falam yughniya AAanhuma mina Allahi shayan waqeela odkhula alnnara maAAa alddakhileena

English

Ahmed Ali

God advances the example of Noah's wife and the wife of Lot for those who do not believe. They were married to Our two pious devotees, but they were unfaithful to them, and even (the apostles) could not avail them in the least against God; and it was said to them: "Enter Hell with those (who are condemned) to enter it."
