In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

قَدۡ سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ قَوۡلَ الَّتِىۡ تُجَادِلُكَ فِىۡ زَوۡجِهَا وَ تَشۡتَكِىۡۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ‌ۖ وَاللّٰهُ يَسۡمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَا‌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيۡعٌ ۢ بَصِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۱﴾

Allah hath heard the saying of her that disputeth with thee (Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complaineth unto Allah. And Allah heareth your colloquy. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower. ﴾1﴿

اَلَّذِيۡنَ يُظٰهِرُوۡنَ مِنۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ نِّسَآٮِٕهِمۡ مَّا هُنَّ اُمَّهٰتِهِمۡ‌ؕ اِنۡ اُمَّهٰتُهُمۡ اِلَّا الّٰٓـىِٔۡ وَلَدۡنَهُمۡ‌ؕ وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ مُنۡكَرًا مِّنَ الۡقَوۡلِ وَزُوۡرًا‌ؕ وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُوۡرٌ‏ ﴿۲﴾

Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as their mothers) - They are not their mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave them birth - they indeed utter an ill word and a lie. And lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. ﴾2﴿

وَالَّذِيۡنَ يُظٰهِرُوۡنَ مِنۡ نِّسَآٮِٕهِمۡ ثُمَّ يَعُوۡدُوۡنَ لِمَا قَالُوۡا فَتَحۡرِيۡرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ يَّتَمَآسَّا‌ؕ ذٰلِكُمۡ تُوۡعَظُوۡنَ بِهٖ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۳﴾

Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do. ﴾3﴿

فَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ شَهۡرَيۡنِ مُتَتَابِعَيۡنِ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ يَّتَمَآسَّاؕ فَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَسۡتَطِعۡ فَاِطۡعَامُ سِتِّيۡنَ مِسۡكِيۡنًا‌ؕ ذٰلِكَ لِتُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖ‌ؕ وَتِلۡكَ حُدُوۡدُ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ وَلِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ‏ ﴿۴﴾

And he who findeth not (the wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months before they touch one another; and for him who is unable to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy ones. This, that ye may put trust in Allah and His messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by Allah); and for disbelievers is a painful doom. ﴾4﴿

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يُحَآدُّوۡنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗ كُبِتُوۡا كَمَا كُبِتَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ‌ وَقَدۡ اَنۡزَلۡنَاۤ اٰيٰتٍۭۢ بَيِّنٰتٍ‌ؕ وَ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيۡنٌ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۵﴾

Lo! those who oppose Allah and His messenger will be abased even as those before them were abased; and We have sent down clear tokens, and for disbelievers is a shameful doom ﴾5﴿

يَوۡمَ يَبۡعَثُهُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيۡعًا فَيُنَبِّئُهُمۡ بِمَا عَمِلُوۡا‌ؕ اَحۡصٰٮهُ اللّٰهُ وَنَسُوۡهُ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ شَهِيۡدٌ‌‏ ﴿۶﴾

On the day when Allah will raise them all together and inform them of what they did. Allah hath kept account of it while they forgot it. And Allah is Witness over all things. ﴾6﴿

اَلَمۡ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ‌ؕ مَا يَكُوۡنُ مِنۡ نَّجۡوٰى ثَلٰثَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمۡ وَلَا خَمۡسَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمۡ وَلَاۤ اَدۡنٰى مِنۡ ذٰلِكَ وَلَاۤ اَكۡثَرَ اِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمۡ اَيۡنَ مَا كَانُوۡا‌ۚ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمۡ بِمَا عَمِلُوۡا يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ‌ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عَلِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۷﴾

Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be; and afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. Lo! Allah is Knower of all things. ﴾7﴿

اَلَمۡ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيۡنَ نُهُوۡا عَنِ النَّجۡوٰى ثُمَّ يَعُوۡدُوۡنَ لِمَا نُهُوۡا عَنۡهُ وَيَتَنٰجَوۡنَ بِالۡاِثۡمِ وَالۡعُدۡوَانِ وَمَعۡصِيَتِ الرَّسُوۡلِ وَاِذَا جَآءُوۡكَ حَيَّوۡكَ بِمَا لَمۡ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللّٰهُۙ وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ فِىۡۤ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ لَوۡلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا اللّٰهُ بِمَا نَقُوۡلُ‌ؕ حَسۡبُهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ‌ۚ يَصۡلَوۡنَهَا‌ۚ فَبِئۡسَ الۡمَصِيۡرُ‏ ﴿۸﴾

Hast thou not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger? And when they come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah greeteth thee not, and say within themselves: Why should Allah punish us for what we say? Hell will suffice them; they will feel the heat thereof - a hapless journey's end! ﴾8﴿

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا تَنَاجَيۡتُمۡ فَلَا تَـتَـنَاجَوۡا بِالۡاِثۡمِ وَالۡعُدۡوَانِ وَمَعۡصِيَتِ الرَّسُوۡلِ وَتَنَاجَوۡا بِالۡبِرِّ وَالتَّقۡوٰى‌ؕ وَاتَّقُوۡا اللّٰهَ الَّذِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۹﴾

O ye who believe! When ye conspire together, conspire not together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger, but conspire together for righteousness and piety, and keep your duty toward Allah, unto whom ye will be gathered. ﴾9﴿

اِنَّمَا النَّجۡوٰى مِنَ الشَّيۡطٰنِ لِيَحۡزُنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَلَيۡسَ بِضَآرِّهِمۡ شَيۡـًٔـا اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۰﴾

Lo! Conspiracy is only of the devil, that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by Allah's leave. In Allah let believers put their trust. ﴾10﴿

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا قِيۡلَ لَكُمۡ تَفَسَّحُوۡا فِىۡ الۡمَجٰلِسِ فَافۡسَحُوۡا يَفۡسَحِ اللّٰهُ لَكُمۡ‌ۚ وَاِذَا قِيۡلَ انْشُزُوۡا فَانْشُزُوۡا يَرۡفَعِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مِنۡكُمۡۙ وَالَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوۡا الۡعِلۡمَ دَرَجٰتٍ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۱۱﴾

O ye who believe! when it is said unto you, Make room! in assemblies, then make room; Allah will make way for you (hereafter). And when it is said, Come up higher! go up higher; Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have knowledge, to high ranks. Allah is Informed of what ye do. ﴾11﴿

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا نَاجَيۡتُمُ الرَّسُوۡلَ فَقَدِّمُوۡا بَيۡنَ يَدَىۡ نَجۡوٲٮكُمۡ صَدَقَةً  ‌ؕ ذٰلِكَ خَيۡرٌ لَّكُمۡ وَاَطۡهَرُ‌ؕ فَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تَجِدُوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۱۲﴾

O ye who believe! When ye hold conference with the messenger, offer an alms before your conference. That is better and purer for you. But if ye cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. ﴾12﴿

ءَاَشۡفَقۡتُمۡ اَنۡ تُقَدِّمُوۡا بَيۡنَ يَدَىۡ نَجۡوَٲٮكُمۡ صَدَقٰتٍ‌ؕ فَاِذۡ لَمۡ تَفۡعَلُوۡا وَتَابَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَاَقِيۡمُوۡا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِيۡرٌۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۳﴾

Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do. ﴾13﴿

اَلَمۡ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيۡنَ تَوَلَّوۡا قَوۡمًا غَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِمؕۡ مَّا هُمۡ مِّنۡكُمۡ وَلَا مِنۡهُمۡۙ وَيَحۡلِفُوۡنَ عَلَى الۡكَذِبِ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۴﴾

Hast thou not seen those who take for friends a folk with whom Allah is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear a false oath knowingly. ﴾14﴿

اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا شَدِيۡدًا‌ؕ اِنَّهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۵﴾

Allah hath prepared for them a dreadful doom. Evil indeed is that which they are wont to do. ﴾15﴿

اِتَّخَذُوۡۤا اَيۡمَانَهُمۡ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوۡا عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيۡنٌ‏ ﴿۱۶﴾

They make a shelter of their oaths and turn (men) from the way of Allah; so theirs will be a shameful doom. ﴾16﴿

لَّنۡ تُغۡنِىَ عَنۡهُمۡ اَمۡوَالُهُمۡ وَلَاۤ اَوۡلَادُهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَيۡـًٔـا‌ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصۡحٰبُ النَّارِ‌ؕ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۷﴾

Their wealth and their children will avail them naught against Allah. Such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein. ﴾17﴿

يَوۡمَ يَبۡعَثُهُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيۡعًا فَيَحۡلِفُوۡنَ لَهٗ كَمَا يَحۡلِفُوۡنَ لَكُمۡ‌ وَيَحۡسَبُوۡنَ اَنَّهُمۡ عَلٰى شَىۡءٍ‌ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمۡ هُمُ الۡكٰذِبُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۸﴾

On the day when Allah will raise them all together, then will they swear unto Him as they (now) swear unto you, and they will fancy that they have some standing. Lo! is it not they who are the liars? ﴾18﴿

اِسۡتَحۡوَذَ عَلَيۡهِمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ فَاَنۡسٰٮهُمۡ ذِكۡرَ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ حِزۡبُ الشَّيۡطٰنِ‌ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ حِزۡبَ الشَّيۡطٰنِ هُمُ الۡخٰسِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۹﴾

The devil hath engrossed them and so hath caused them to forget remembrance of Allah. They are the devil's party. Lo! is it not the devil's party who will be the losers? ﴾19﴿

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يُحَآدُّوۡنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗۤ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ فِىۡ الۡاَذَلِّيۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۰﴾

Lo! those who oppose Allah and His messenger, they will be among the lowest. ﴾20﴿

كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَاَغۡلِبَنَّ اَنَا وَرُسُلِىۡ‌ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِىٌّ عَزِيۡزٌ‏ ﴿۲۱﴾

Allah hath decreed: Lo! I verily shall conquer, I and My messengers. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty. ﴾21﴿

لَا تَجِدُ قَوۡمًا يُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ يُوَآدُّوۡنَ مَنۡ حَآدَّ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗ وَلَوۡ كَانُوۡۤا اٰبَآءَهُمۡ اَوۡ اَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ اَوۡ اِخۡوَانَهُمۡ اَوۡ عَشِيۡرَتَهُمۡ‌ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ كَتَبَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمُ الۡاِيۡمَانَ وَاَيَّدَهُمۡ بِرُوۡحٍ مِّنۡهُ‌ؕ وَيُدۡخِلُهُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا‌ؕ رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُوۡا عَنۡهُ‌ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ حِزۡبُ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ حِزۡبَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۲﴾

Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful? ﴾22﴿
