In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful
God has heard the statement of she who argued with you concerning her husband, as she complained to God
God heard your conversation
God is Hearing and Seeing
Those of you who estrange their wives by equating them with their mothers - they are not their mothers
Their mothers are none else but those who gave birth to them
What they say is evil, and a blatant lie
But God is Pardoning and Forgiving
Those who estrange their wives by equating them with their mothers, then go back on what they said, must set free a slave before they may touch one another
To this you are exhorted, and God is well aware of what you do
But whoever cannot find the means must fast for two consecutive months before they may touch one another
And if he is unable, then the feeding of sixty needy people
This, in order that you affirm your faith in God and His Messenger
These are the ordinances of God
The unbelievers will have a painful punishment
Those who oppose God and His Messenger will be subdued, as those before them were subdued
We have revealed clear messages
The unbelievers will have a demeaning punishment
On the Day when God resurrects them all, and informs them of what they did
God has kept count of it, but they have forgotten it
God is Witness over everything
Do you not realize that God knows everything in the heavens and everything on earth?
There is no secret counsel between three, but He is their fourth; nor between five, but He is their sixth; nor less than that, nor more, but He is with them wherever they may be
Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did
God has knowledge of everything
Have you noted those who were prohibited from conspiring secretly, but then reverted to what they were prohibited from?
They conspire to commit sin, and aggression, and defiance of the Messenger
And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting that God never greeted you with
And they say within themselves, “Why does God not punish us for what we say?”
Hell is enough for them
They will roast in it
What a miserable destiny!
O you who believe!
When you converse secretly, do not converse in sin, and aggression, and disobedience of the Messenger; but converse in virtue and piety
And fear God, to Whom you will be gathered
Conspiracies are from Satan, that he may dishearten those who believe; but he will not harm them in the least, except by leave of God
So let the believers put their trust in God
O you who believe!
When you are told to make room in your gatherings, make room; God will make room for you
And when you are told to disperse, disperse
God elevates those among you who believe, and those given knowledge, many steps
God is Aware of what you do
O you who believe!
When you converse privately with the Messenger, offer something in charity before your conversation
That is better for you, and purer
But if you do not find the means - God is Forgiving and Merciful
Are you reluctant to offer charity before your conversation?
If you do not do so, and God pardons you, then perform the prayer, and give alms, and obey God and His Messenger
God is Aware of what you do
Have you considered those who befriended a people with whom God has become angry?
They are not of you, nor of them
And they swear to a lie while they know
God has prepared for them a terrible punishment
Evil is what they used to do
They took their oaths as a screen, and prevented others from God’s path
They will have a shameful punishment
Neither their possessions nor their children will avail them anything against God
These are the inhabitants of the Fire, dwelling therein forever
On the Day when God will resurrect them altogether - they will swear to Him, as they swear to you, thinking that they are upon something
Indeed, they themselves are the liars
Satan has taken hold of them, and so has caused them to forget the remembrance of God
These are the partisans of Satan
Indeed, it is Satan’s partisans who are the losers
Those who oppose God and His Messenger are among the lowliest
God has written: “I will certainly prevail, I and My messengers”
God is Strong and Mighty
You will not find a people who believe in God and the Last Day, loving those who oppose God and His Messenger, even if they were their parents, or their children, or their siblings, or their close relatives
These - He has inscribed faith in their hearts, and has supported them with a spirit from Him
And He will admit them into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will dwell forever
God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him
These are the partisans of God
Indeed, it is God’s partisans who are the successful
