4 Women -An Nisa'
Eighth quarter
[4.114] There is no good in much of their confiding, except for he who bids to charity, honor, or reforms between people. Whosoever does that for the sake of the pleasure of Allah, We shall give him a great wage.
[4.115] But whosoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has been made clear to him and follows a path other than that of the believers, We shall let him follow what he has turned to and We shall roast him in Gehenna (Hell) an evil arrival.
[4.116] Allah does not forgive (the sin of inventing an) association with Him, but He forgives other sins to whomsoever He will. Whosoever associates with Allah has gone astray in far error.
[4.117] Instead of Him they supplicate to none but females, and indeed they supplicate to none except the rebellious satan,
[4.118] whom Allah has cursed and he (satan) said: 'Indeed, I will take to myself an appointed portion of Your worshipers,
[4.119] and lead them astray. I shall fill them with fancies and order them to cut off the ears of cattle. I shall order them to alter the creation of Allah. ' Indeed, whosoever chooses satan for a guide, instead of Allah, has surely suffered a clear loss.
[4.120] he promises them and fills them with fancies, but what satan promises them is only a delusion.
[4.121] Those, their shelter will be Gehenna (Hell), and from it they shall find no refuge.
[4.122] But those who believe and do good works We shall admit them to Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and there they shall live for ever, the promise of Allah is true. And who is truer in speech than Allah!
[4.123] It is not by your fancies, nor by the fancies of the People of the Book. Whosoever does evil shall be recompensed for it, and he will not find for himself, other than Allah, a guardian or helper.
[4.124] But whosoever does good works of righteousness, whether they be a believing male or female, shall enter Paradise, and not be wronged a pit mark of a date stone.
[4.125] And who is better in religion than he who submits his face to Allah, being a gooddoer, and follows the Creed of Abraham, pure in faith? Allah took Abraham for a close friend.
[4.126] To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Allah encompasses everything.
[4.127] They will ask you for a verdict concerning women. Say: "Allah decides for you concerning them, and what has been recited in the Book concerning orphaned women to whom you do not give what is written, and yet desire to marry them, and the abased children, and that you secure justice for orphans. Whatever good you do, Allah has knowledge it.
[4.128] If a woman fears hatred or aversion from her husband there is no fault in them if the couple set things right between them, for reconciliation is better. Avarice attends the souls, but if you do what is good and are cautious, surely, Allah is Aware of what you do.
[4.129] You will not be able to be just between your women, even though you are eager. Do not be altogether partial so that you leave her as if she were suspended. If you reform and are cautious, Allah is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
[4.130] But if they separate, Allah will enrich each of them out from His Vastness. He is the Embracer, the Wise.
[4.131] To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and earth. We have charged those who were given the Book before you and you to fear Allah. If you disbelieve, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is Rich, the Praised.
[4.132] To Allah belongs all that is in heaven and earth. It is sufficient that Allah is a Guardian.
[4.133] O people, if He will, He could make you extinct, and bring others. Surely, Allah is Powerful over that.
