O mankind! Be
dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam),
and from him (Adam)
He created his wife [Hawwa
(Eve)], and from them both He
created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you
demand your mutual (rights), and
(do not cut the relations of)
the wombs (kinship).
Surely, Allah is Ever an AllWatcher over you. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
And give unto
orphans their property and do not exchange
(your) bad things for
(their) good ones; and devour
not their substance (by adding
it) to your substance. Surely,
this is a great sin. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
And if you fear
that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphangirls, then
marry (other)
women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you
shall not be able to deal justly
(with them), then only one or
(the slaves)
that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from
doing injustice. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And give to the
women (whom you marry)
their Mahr (obligatory
bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage)
with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit
any part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm
(as Allah has made it
lawful). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And give not unto the
foolish your property which Allah has made a means of support
for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words
of kindness and justice. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And try orphans
(as regards their intelligence)
until they reach the age of marriage; if then you find sound judgment
in them, release their property to them, but consume it not wastefully,
and hastily fearing that they should grow up, and whoever
(amongst guardians) is rich,
he should take no wages, but if he is poor, let him have for himself
what is just and reasonable
(according to his labour). And
when you release their property to them, take witness in their presence;
and Allah is AllSufficient in taking account. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
There is a share for
men and a share for women from what is left by parents and those nearest
related, whether, the property be small or large - a legal share. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And when the relatives
and the orphans and AlMasakin
(the poor) are present at the
time of division, give them out of the property, and speak to them
words of kindness and justice. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And let those
(executors and guardians)
have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own,
if they had left weak offspring behind. So let them fear Allah
and speak right words. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Verily, those who unjustly
eat up the property of orphans, they eat up only a fire into their
bellies, and they will be burnt in the blazing Fire! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Allah commands
you as regards your children's (inheritance);
to the male, a portion equal to that of two females; if
(there are) only daughters, two
or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one,
her share is half. For parents, a sixth share of inheritance to each
if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are
the (only)
heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers or (sisters),
the mother has a sixth. (The
distribution in all cases is)
after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts. You
know not which of them, whether your parents or your children, are
nearest to you in benefit, (these
fixed shares) are ordained by
Allah. And Allah is Ever AllKnower, AllWise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
In that which
your wives leave, your share is a half if they have no child; but
if they leave a child, you get a fourth of that which they leave after
payment of legacies that they may have bequeathed or debts. In that
which you leave, their (your
wives) share is a fourth if you
leave no child; but if you leave a child, they get an eighth of that
which you leave after payment of legacies that you may have bequeathed
or debts. If the man or woman whose inheritance is in question has
left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a brother or
a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two,
they share in a third; after payment of lagacies he
(or she) may have bequeathed or debts, so that no loss is caused (to
anyone). This is a Commandment
from Allah; and Allah is Ever AllKnowing, MostForbearing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
These are the
limits (set by)
Allah (or ordainments
as regards laws of inheritance),
and whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger
(Muhammad SAW) will be
admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow
(in Paradise), to abide therein,
and that will be the great success. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And whosoever
disobeys Allah and His Messenger
(Muhammad SAW), and transgresses
His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide therein; and
he shall have a disgraceful torment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And those of your
women who commit illegal sexual intercourse, take the evidence of
four witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify,
confine them (i.e. women)
to houses until death comes to them or Allah ordains for them
some (other)
way. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And the two persons
(man and woman)
among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, punish
(hurt) them both. And if they
repent (promise Allah
that they will never repeat, i.e. commit illegal sexual intercourse
and other similar sins) and do
righteous good deeds, leave them alone. Surely, Allah is Ever
the One Who accepts repentance,
(and He is) Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Allah accepts
only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness
and repent soon afterwards; it is they to whom Allah will forgive
and Allah is Ever AllKnower, AllWise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
And of no effect is
the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death
faces one of them and he says: "Now I repent;" nor of those who die
while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful torment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
O you who believe! You
are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you should
not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the
Mahr you have given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse.
And live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that
you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of good. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
But if you intend
to replace a wife by another and you have given one of them a Qintar
(of gold i.e. a great amount
as Mahr) take not the least bit
of it back; would you take it wrongfully without a right and
(with) a manifest sin? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And how could
you take it (back)
while you have gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you
a firm and strong covenant? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And marry not women
whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; indeed
it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Forbidden 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 foster mother who gave you suck, your foster milk suckling sisters,
your wives' mothers, your step daughters under your guardianship,
born of your wives to whom you have gone in - but there is no sin
on you if you have not gone in them
(to marry their daughters), -
the wives of your sons who (spring)
from your own loins, and two sisters in wedlock at the same time,
except for what has already passed; verily, Allah is OftForgiving,
Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Also
(forbidden are) women already
married, except those (captives
and slaves) whom your right hands
possess. Thus has Allah ordained for you. All others are lawful, provided
you seek (them in marriage) with Mahr
(bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage)
from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal sexual
intercourse, so with those of whom you have enjoyed sexual relations,
give them their Mahr as prescribed; but if after a Mahr is prescribed,
you agree mutually (to give
more), there is no sin on you.
Surely, Allah is Ever AllKnowing, AllWise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And whoever of
you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women, they
may wed believing girls from among those
(captives and slaves) whom your
right hands possess, and Allah has full knowledge about your Faith,
you are one from another. Wed them with the permission of their own
folk (guardians, Auliya' or
masters) and give them their
Mahr according to what is reasonable; they
(the above said captive and slave-girls)
should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boy-friends. And after
they have been taken in wedlock, if they commit illegal sexual intercourse,
their punishment is half that for free
(unmarried) women. This is for
him among you who is afraid of being harmed in his religion or in
his body; but it is better for you that you practise selfrestraint,
and Allah is OftForgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Allah wishes to
make clear (what is lawful and
what is unlawful) to you, and
to show you the ways of those before you, and accept your repentance,
and Allah is AllKnower, AllWise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Allah wishes to
accept your repentance, but those who follow their lusts, wish that
you (believers)
should deviate tremendously away
(from the Right Path). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Allah wishes to
lighten (the burden)
for you; and man was created weak
(cannot be patient to leave sexual intercourse with woman). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
O you who believe!
Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a
trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves
(nor kill one another). Surely,
Allah is Most Merciful to you. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And whoever commits
that through aggression and injustice, We shall cast him into the
Fire, and that is easy for Allah. |
