Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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].
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
Indeed,  those  who  devour  the  property  of  orphans  unjustly  are  only  consuming  into their  bellies  fire.  And  they  will  be  burned  in  a  Blaze.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
Those  who  commit  unlawful  sexual  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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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?
Sahih International
And  how  could  you  take  it  while  you  have  gone  in  unto  each  other  and  they  have taken  from  you  a  solemn  covenant?
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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  sexual  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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
Allah wants  to  accept  your  repentance,  but  those  who  follow  [their]  passions  want  you to  digress  [into]  a  great  deviation.
Sahih International
And Allah wants  to  lighten  for  you  [your  difficulties];  and  mankind  was  created  weak.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
And  whoever  does  that  in  aggression  and  injustice  -   then  We  will  drive  him  into  a  Fire. And  that,  for Allah ,  is  [always]  easy.
Sahih International
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].
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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].
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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  -
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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?
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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?
Sahih International
And Allah is  most  knowing  of  your  enemies;  and  sufficient  is Allah as  an  ally,  and sufficient  is Allah as  a  helper.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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].
Sahih International
Look  how  they  invent  about Allah untruth,  and  sufficient  is  that  as  a  manifest  sin.
Sahih International
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"?
Sahih International
Those  are  the  ones  whom Allah has  cursed;  and  he  whom Allah curses  -   never  will  you find  for  him  a  helper.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
And  some  among  them  believed  in  it,  and  some  among  them  were  averse  to  it.  And sufficient  is  Hell  as  a  blaze.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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."
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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.
Sahih International
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].
