Al-Mujadala المجادلة

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. God has certainly heard the saying of the one who argues with you about her husband and complains to God; and God hears your exchange,

بِسْمِ اِ۬للَّهِ اِ۬لرَّحْمَٰنِ اِ۬لرَّحِيمِ قَدْ سَمِعَ اَ۬للَّهُ قَوْلَ اَ۬لتِے تُجَٰدِلُكَ فِے زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِےٓ إِلَى اَ۬للَّهِ وَاللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَآۖ

Those among you who present the back to their women — they are not their mothers.

اِ۬لذِينَ يَظَّهَّرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِهِم مَّا هُنَّ أُمَّهَٰتِهِمُۥٓۖ

Their mothers are none but those who bore them.

إِنُ ا۟مَّهَٰتُهُمُۥٓ إِلَّا اَ۬ل۪ےْ وَلَدْنَهُمْۖ

And they are surely saying a disavowed saying and a falsification.

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنكَراٗ مِّنَ اَ۬لْقَوْلِ وَزُوراٗۖ

And those who present the back to their women, then repeat what they said, shall restore the independence of a pledge before they touch each other again.

وَالذِينَ يَظَّهَّرُونَ مِن نِّسَآئِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُواْ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مِّن قَبْلِ أَنْ يَّتَمَآسَّاۖ

This is what you are exhorted by.

ذَٰلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦۖ

Whoever finds no means shall observe an abstinence of two consecutive months before they touch each other again.

فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَنْ يَّتَمَآسَّاۖ

Whoever cannot shall feed sixty destitute people.

فَمَن لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَإِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناٗۖ

This, so that you may believe in God and His messenger.

ذَٰلِكَ لِتُومِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۖ

And those are the limits of God.

وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اُ۬للَّهِۖ

Those who set themselves against God and His messenger have indeed been brought low, as have those before them.

اِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ يُحَآدُّونَ اَ۬للَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ كُبِتُواْ كَمَا كُبِتَ اَ۬لذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۖ

Yet We have sent down clear signs.

وَقَدَ اَنزَلْنَآ ءَايَٰتِۢ بَيِّنَٰتٖۖ

The day God raises them all and informs them of what they did.

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اُ۬للَّهُ جَمِيعاٗ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓاْۖ

God has enumerated it, while they have forgotten it.

أَحْص۪يٰهُ اُ۬للَّهُ وَنَسُوهُۖ

Have you not seen that God knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth?

اَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِے اِ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِے اِ۬لَارْضِۖ

There is no secret talk among three but He is their fourth, nor among five but He is their sixth, nor fewer nor more than that but He is with them wherever they are.

مَا يَكُونُ مِن نَّجْو۪ىٰ ثَلَٰثَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلَآ أَدْن۪ىٰ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْثَرَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمُۥٓ أَيْنَ مَا كَانُواْۖ

Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Appearance,

ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُواْ يَوْمَ اَ۬لْقِيَٰمَةِۖ

Have you not seen those who were forbidden secret talk, then go back to what they were forbidden, and hold secret talk in transgression, hostility, and disobedience to the messenger?

۞ اَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى اَ۬لذِينَ نُهُواْ عَنِ اِ۬لنَّجْو۪ىٰ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ وَيَتَنَٰجَوْنَ بِالِاثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَٰنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ اِ۬لرَّسُولِۖ

And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting God never greeted you with, and say within themselves: "Why does God not punish us for what we say?"

وَإِذَا جَآءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اِ۬للَّهُ وَيَقُولُونَ فِےٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا اَ۬للَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُۖ

Jahannam suffices them.

حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ

They will burn in it.

يَصْلَوْنَهَاۖ

O you who have believed! When you hold secret talk, do not hold it in transgression, hostility, and disobedience to the messenger.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا تَنَٰجَيْتُمْ فَلَا تَتَنَٰجَوْاْ بِالِاثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَٰنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ اِ۬لرَّسُولِۖ

But hold secret talk in virtue and guardedness.

وَتَنَٰجَوْاْ بِالْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْو۪ىٰۖ

Secret talk comes only from the Diverter, to grieve those who believe; but it cannot harm them in the least, except with God's permission.

إِنَّمَا اَ۬لنَّجْو۪ىٰ مِنَ اَ۬لشَّيْطَٰنِ لِيُحْزِنَ اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَلَيْسَ بِضَآرِّهِمْ شَئْاً اِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اِ۬للَّهِۖ

O you who have believed! When you are told to make room in assemblies, make room; God will make room for you.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُواْ فِے اِ۬لْمَجْلِسِ فَافْسَحُواْ يَفْسَحِ اِ۬للَّهُ لَكُمْۖ

And when you are told to rise up, rise up; God will elevate in degrees those among you who believe and those given knowledge.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ اَ۟نشُزُواْ فَانشُزُواْ يَرْفَعِ اِ۬للَّهُ اُ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمْ وَالذِينَ أُوتُواْ اُ۬لْعِلْمَ دَرَجَٰتٖۖ

O you who have believed! When you hold secret talk with the messenger, advance charity before your secret talk.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نَٰجَيْتُمُ اُ۬لرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُواْ بَيْنَ يَدَےْ نَجْو۪يٰكُمْ صَدَقَةٗۖ

That is better for you, and cleaner.

ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٞ لَّكُمْ وَأَطْهَرُۖ

Were you apprehensive about advancing acts of charity before your secret talks?

آٰشْفَقْتُمُۥٓ أَن تُقَدِّمُواْ بَيْنَ يَدَےْ نَجْو۪يٰكُمْ صَدَقَٰتٖۖ

Since you did not do it, and God has turned toward you with clemency, maintain the Contact and give pure liberality.

فَإِذْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُواْ وَتَابَ اَ۬للَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَقِيمُواْ اُ۬لصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ اُ۬لزَّكَوٰةَۖ

And defer to God and His messenger.

وَأَطِيعُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥۖ

God has prepared for them a severe punishment,

أَعَدَّ اَ۬للَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَاباٗ شَدِيداًۖ

Neither their goods nor their children will avail them at all against God.

لَّن تُغْنِيَ عَنْهُمُۥٓ أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَٰدُهُم مِّنَ اَ۬للَّهِ شَئْاًۖ

The day God raises them all, they will take oaths to Him as they take oaths to you, thinking they stand on something.

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اُ۬للَّهُ جَمِيعاٗ فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَهُۥ كَمَا يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ وَيَحْسِبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَىٰ شَےْءٍۖ

The Diverter has taken hold of them and made them forget the remembrance of God.

اَ۪سْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ اُ۬لشَّيْطَٰنُ فَأَنس۪يٰهُمْ ذِكْرَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ

Those are the party of the Diverter.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ اُ۬لشَّيْطَٰنِۖ

God has written: "I shall surely overcome, I and My messengers."

كَتَبَ اَ۬للَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا وَرُسُلِيَۖ

You will not find a people who believe in God and the Last Day loving those who set themselves against God and His messenger, even if they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their kinsmen.

لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْماٗ يُومِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ اِ۬لَاخِرِ يُوَآدُّونَ مَنْ حَآدَّ اَ۬للَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَانُوٓاْ ءَابَآءَهُمُۥٓ أَوَ اَبْنَآءَهُمُۥٓ أَوِ اِخْوَٰنَهُمُۥٓ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمُۥٓۖ

These are the ones in whose cores He has inscribed faith, and whom He has fortified with an Influx from Him, and whom He will admit into gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding there eternally.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَتَبَ فِے قُلُوبِهِمُ اُ۬لِايمَٰنَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٖ مِّنْهُ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجْرِے مِن تَحْتِهَا اَ۬لَانْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ

God is satisfied with them, and they are satisfied with Him.

رَضِيَ اَ۬للَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُواْ عَنْهُۖ

Those are the party of God.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ اُ۬للَّهِۖ
