At-Tahrim
The Prohibition
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
O Informant! Why do you hold as prohibited what God has permitted you, seeking the approval of your wives?
يايها النبي لم تحرم ما احل الله لك تبتغي مرضات ازوجك
And God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
والله غفور رحيم
God has fixed for you the release from your oaths,
قد فرض الله لكم تحله ايمنكم
and God is your nearest Guarantor.
والله موليكم
And He is the All-Knowing, the Wise.
وهو العليم الحكيم
And when the Informant confided a discourse in secret to one of his wives,
واذ اسر النبي الي بعض ازوجه حديثا
and she informed others of it, and God made it appear to him, he had part of it recognized and passed over another part.
فلما نبات به واظهره الله عليه عرف بعضه واعرض عن بعض
Then, when he informed her of it, she said: "Who informed you of this?" He said: "The All-Knowing, the Intimately Acquainted informed me."
فلما نباها به قالت من انباك هذا قال نباني العليم الخبير
If you two turn back to God — for your cores have indeed bent —
ان تتوبا الي الله فقد صغت قلوبكما
but if you support one another against him, then God is indeed his nearest Guarantor, and Jibril, and those who are sound among the believers,
وان تظهرا عليه فان الله هو موليه وجبريل وصلح المومنين
and the Agents, moreover, are his support.
والمليكه بعد ذلك ظهير
It may be that his Guardian, if he repudiates you, will give him in exchange wives better than you: true to God alone, believing, devoted, repentant, obedient, free in their movement, previously married or virgins.
عسي ربه ان طلقكن ان يبدله ازوجا خيرا منكن مسلمت مومنت قنتت تيبت عبدت سيحت ثيبت وابكارا
O you who have believed! Guard your Selves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are Agents, harsh and severe, who do not disobey God in what He commands them, and who do what they are commanded.
يايها الذين امنوا قوا انفسكم واهليكم نارا وقودها الناس والحجاره عليها مليكه غلاظ شداد لا يعصون الله ما امرهم ويفعلون ما يومرون
O you who disowned! Do not make excuses today: you are only being recompensed for what you used to do.
يايها الذين كفروا لا تعتذروا اليوم انما تجزون ما كنتم تعملون
O you who have believed! Turn back to God with a sincere turning back. It may be that your Guardian will cover your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow, on the day when God will not disgrace the Informant nor those who believed with him; their light will hurry before them and on their right.
يايها الذين امنوا توبوا الي الله توبه نصوحا عسي ربكم ان يكفر عنكم سياتكم ويدخلكم جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر يوم لا يخزي الله النبي والذين امنوا معه نورهم يسعي بين ايديهم وبايمنهم
They will say: "Our Guardian, complete our light for us and forgive us."
يقولون ربنا اتمم لنا نورنا واغفر لنا
You are indeed capable of all things.
انك علي كل شي قدير
O Informant! Strive against those who disown and the hypocrites, and be firm with them.
يايها النبي جهد الكفار والمنفقين واغلظ عليهم
Their refuge will be Jahannam,
وماويهم جهنم
and what an evil destination!
وبيس المصير
God multiplies an example for those who disowned: the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut.
ضرب الله مثلا للذين كفروا امرات نوح وامرات لوط
They were under two of Our sound obedient ones, yet they betrayed them, so those two were of no avail to them against God,
كانتا تحت عبدين من عبادنا صلحين فخانتاهما فلم يغنيا عنهما من الله شيا
and it was said: "Enter, both of you, the Fire with those who enter."
وقيل ادخلا النار مع الدخلين
And God multiplies an example for those who believe: the wife of Fir'awn, when she said: "My Guardian, build for me, near You, a house in the Garden, and save me from Fir'awn and his doing, and save me from the wrongdoing people."
وضرب الله مثلا للذين امنوا امرات فرعون اذ قالت رب ابن لي عندك بيتا في الجنه ونجني من فرعون وعمله ونجني من القوم الظلمين
And Maryam, daughter of Imran, who protected her intimacy; We breathed into it of Our Influx. She declared true the words of her Guardian and His scriptures, and was among the devoted.
ومريم ابنت عمرن التي احصنت فرجها فنفخنا فيه من روحنا وصدقت بكلمت ربها وكتبه وكانت من القنتين
