Al-Mujadila
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Allah hath heard the saying of her
that disputeth with thee (Muhammad) concerning her
husband, and complaineth unto Allah. And Allah heareth
your colloquy. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower. (1)
Such of you as put away your wives (by
saying they are as their mothers) - They are not their
mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave
them birth - they indeed utter an ill word and a lie.
And lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (2)
Those who put away their wives (by
saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go
back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that
case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one
another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is aware
of what ye do. (3)
And he who findeth not (the
wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months
before they touch one another; and for him who is unable
to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy
ones. This, that ye may put trust in Allah and His
messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by Allah); and
for disbelievers is a painful doom. (4)
Those who oppose Allah and His
messenger will be abased even as those before them were
abased; and We have sent down clear tokens, and for
disbelievers is a shameful doom (5)
On the day when Allah will raise them
all together and inform them of what they did. Allah
hath kept account of it while they forgot it. And Allah
is Witness over all things. (6)
Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth
all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth?
There is no secret conference of three but He is their
fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less
than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they
may be; and afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He
will inform them of what they did. Lo! Allah is Knower
of all things. (7)
Hast thou not observed those who were
forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that
which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire
together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience
toward the messenger? And when they come unto thee they
greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah greeteth thee
not, and say within themselves: Why should Allah punish
us for what we say? Hell will suffice them; they will
feel the heat thereof - a hapless journey's end! (8)
O ye who believe! When ye conspire
together, conspire not together for crime and wrongdoing
and disobedience toward the messenger, but conspire
together for righteousness and piety, and keep your duty
toward Allah, unto whom ye will be gathered. (9)
Lo! Conspiracy is only of the devil,
that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them
not at all unless by Allah's leave. In Allah let
believers put their trust. (10)
O ye who believe! when it is said
unto you, Make room! in assemblies, then make room;
Allah will make way for you (hereafter). And when it is
said, Come up higher! go up higher; Allah will exalt
those who believe among you, and those who have
knowledge, to high ranks. Allah is Informed of what ye
do. (11)
O ye who believe! When ye hold
conference with the messenger, offer an alms before your
conference. That is better and purer for you. But if ye
cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful. (12)
Fear ye to offer alms before your
conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath
forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and
obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what
ye do. (13)
Hast thou not seen those who take for
friends a folk with whom Allah is wroth? They are
neither of you nor of them, and they swear a false oath
knowingly. (14)
Allah hath prepared for them a
dreadful doom. Evil indeed is that which they are wont
to do. (15)
They make a shelter of their oaths
and turn (men) from the way of Allah; so theirs will be
a shameful doom. (16)
Their wealth and their children will
avail them naught against Allah. Such are rightful
owners of the Fire; they will abide therein. (17)
On the day when Allah will raise them
all together, then will they swear unto Him as they (now)
swear unto you, and they will fancy that they have some
standing. Lo! is it not they who are the liars? (18)
The devil hath engrossed them and so
hath caused them to forget remembrance of Allah. They
are the devil's party. Lo! is it not the devil's party
who will be the losers? (19)
Lo! those who oppose Allah and His
messenger, they will be among the lowest. (20)
Allah hath decreed: Lo! I verily
shall conquer, I and My messengers. Lo! Allah is Strong,
Almighty. (21)
Thou wilt not find folk who believe
in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah
and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or
their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such,
He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath
strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will
bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow,
wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them,
and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's
party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the
successful? (22)
