66: Banning, Prohibition
|
1 |
O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which God has made
lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
|
2 |
God has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your
oaths (in some cases): and God is your Protector, and He is Full of
Knowledge and Wisdom.
|
3 |
When the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his
consorts, and she then divulged it (to another), and God made it known
to him, he confirmed part thereof and repudiated a part. Then when he
told her thereof, she said, "Who told thee this? "He said, "He told me
Who knows and is well-acquainted (with all things)."
|
4 |
If ye two turn in repentance to Him, your hearts are indeed so
inclined; But if ye back up each other against him, truly God is his
Protector, and Gabriel, and (every) righteous one among those who
believe,- and furthermore, the angels - will back (him) up.
|
5 |
It may be, if he divorced you (all), that God will give him in
exchange consorts better than you,- who submit (their wills), who
believe, who are devout, who turn to God in repentance, who worship
(in humility), who travel (for Faith) and fast,- previously married or
virgins.
|
6 |
O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose
fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and)
severe, who flinch not (from executing) the Commands they receive from
God, but do (precisely) what they are commanded.
|
7 |
(They will say), "O ye Unbelievers! Make no excuses this Day! Ye are
being but requited for all that ye did!"
|
8 |
O ye who believe! Turn to God with sincere repentance: In the hope
that your Lord will remove from you your ills and admit you to Gardens
beneath which Rivers flow,- the Day that God will not permit to be
humiliated the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their Light
will run forward before them and by their right hands, while they say,
"Our Lord! Perfect our Light for us, and grant us Forgiveness: for
Thou hast power over all things."
|
9 |
O Prophet! Strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and
be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed).
|
10 |
God sets forth, for an example to the Unbelievers, the wife of Noah
and the wife of Lut: they were (respectively) under two of our
righteous servants, but they were false to their (husbands), and they
profited nothing before God on their account, but were told: "Enter ye
the Fire along with (others) that enter!"
|
11 |
And God sets forth, as an example to those who believe the wife of
Pharaoh: Behold she said: "O my Lord! Build for me, in nearness to
Thee, a mansion in the Garden, and save me from Pharaoh and his
doings, and save me from those that do wrong";
|
12 |
And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We
breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth
of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the
devout (servants).
