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

يٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَاۤ اَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ لَـكَ‌ۚ تَبۡتَغِىۡ مَرۡضَاتَ اَزۡوَاجِكَ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۱﴾

O Prophet! Why bannest thou that which Allah hath made lawful for thee, seeking to please thy wives? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. ﴾1﴿

قَدۡ فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ لَـكُمۡ تَحِلَّةَ اَيۡمَانِكُمۡ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ مَوۡلٰٮكُمۡ‌ۚ وَهُوَ الۡعَلِيۡمُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ‏ ﴿۲﴾

Allah hath made lawful for you (Muslims) absolution from your oaths (of such a kind), and Allah is your Protector. He is the Knower, the Wise. ﴾2﴿

وَاِذۡ اَسَرَّ النَّبِىُّ اِلٰى بَعۡضِ اَزۡوَاجِهٖ حَدِيۡثًا‌ۚ فَلَمَّا نَـبَّاَتۡ بِهٖ وَاَظۡهَرَهُ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِ عَرَّفَ بَعۡضَهٗ وَاَعۡرَضَ عَنۡۢ بَعۡضٍ‌ۚ فَلَمَّا نَـبَّاَهَا بِهٖ قَالَتۡ مَنۡ اَنۡۢبَاَكَ هٰذَا‌ؕ قَالَ نَـبَّاَنِىَ الۡعَلِيۡمُ الۡخَبِیْرُ‏ ﴿۳﴾

When the Prophet confided a fact unto one of his wives and when she afterward divulged it and Allah apprised him thereof, he made known (to her) part thereof and passed over part. And when he told it her she said: Who hath told thee? He said: The Knower, the Aware hath told me. ﴾3﴿

اِنۡ تَتُوۡبَاۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ فَقَدۡ صَغَتۡ قُلُوۡبُكُمَا‌ۚ وَاِنۡ تَظٰهَرَا عَلَيۡهِ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ مَوۡلٰٮهُ وَجِبۡرِيۡلُ وَصَالِحُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‌ۚ وَالۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ بَعۡدَ ذٰلِكَ ظَهِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۴﴾

If ye twain turn unto Allah repentant, (ye have cause to do so) for your hearts desired (the ban); and if ye aid one another against him (Muhammad) then lo! Allah, even He, is his Protecting Friend, and Gabriel and the righteous among the believers; and furthermore the angels are his helpers. ﴾4﴿

عَسٰى رَبُّهٗۤ اِنۡ طَلَّقَكُنَّ اَنۡ يُّبۡدِلَهٗۤ اَزۡوَاجًا خَيۡرًا مِّنۡكُنَّ مُسۡلِمٰتٍ مُّؤۡمِنٰتٍ قٰنِتٰتٍ تٰٓٮِٕبٰتٍ عٰبِدٰتٍ سٰٓٮِٕحٰتٍ ثَيِّبٰتٍ وَّاَبۡكَارًا‏ ﴿۵﴾

It may happen that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your stead wives better than you, submissive (to Allah), believing, pious, penitent, devout, inclined to fasting, widows and maids. ﴾5﴿

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا قُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَكُمۡ وَاَهۡلِيۡكُمۡ نَارًا وَّقُوۡدُهَا النَّاسُ وَالۡحِجَارَةُ عَلَيۡهَا مَلٰٓٮِٕكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعۡصُوۡنَ اللّٰهَ مَاۤ اَمَرَهُمۡ وَيَفۡعَلُوۡنَ مَا يُؤۡمَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶﴾

O ye who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire whereof the fuel is men and stones, over which are set angels strong, severe, who resist not Allah in that which He commandeth them, but do that which they are commanded. ﴾6﴿

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَا تَعۡتَذِرُوۡا الۡيَوۡمَ‌ؕ اِنَّمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۷﴾

(Then it will be said): O ye who disbelieve! Make no excuses for yourselves this day. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do. ﴾7﴿

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا تُوۡبُوۡۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَوۡبَةً نَّصُوۡحًاؕ عَسٰى رَبُّكُمۡ اَنۡ يُّكَفِّرَ عَنۡكُمۡ سَيِّاٰتِكُمۡ وَيُدۡخِلَـكُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُۙ يَوۡمَ لَا يُخۡزِى اللّٰهُ النَّبِىَّ وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَعَهٗ‌ۚ نُوۡرُهُمۡ يَسۡعٰى بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَبِاَيۡمَانِهِمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ رَبَّنَاۤ اَتۡمِمۡ لَـنَا نُوۡرَنَا وَاغۡفِرۡ لَـنَا‌ۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۸﴾

O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things. ﴾8﴿

يٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ جَاهِدِ الۡكُفَّارَ وَالۡمُنٰفِقِيۡنَ وَاغۡلُظۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ‌ؕ وَمَاۡوٰٮهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ‌ؕ وَبِئۡسَ الۡمَصِيۡرُ‏ ﴿۹﴾

O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end. ﴾9﴿

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّـلَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوا امۡرَاَتَ نُوۡحٍ وَّ امۡرَاَتَ لُوۡطٍ‌ؕ كَانَـتَا تَحۡتَ عَبۡدَيۡنِ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَـيۡنِ فَخَانَتٰهُمَا فَلَمۡ يُغۡنِيَا عَنۡهُمَا مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيۡــًٔا وَّقِيۡلَ ادۡخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدَّاخِلِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۰﴾

Allah citeth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of Our righteous slaves yet betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught against Allah and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with those who enter. ﴾10﴿

وَضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّـلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا امۡرَاَتَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ‌ۘ اِذۡ قَالَتۡ رَبِّ ابۡنِ لِىۡ عِنۡدَكَ بَيۡتًا فِىۡ الۡجَـنَّةِ وَنَجِّنِىۡ مِنۡ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَعَمَلِهٖ وَنَجِّنِىۡ مِنَ الۡقَوۡمِ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۱۱﴾

And Allah citeth an example for those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh when she said: My Lord! Build for me a home with thee in the Garden, and deliver me from Pharaoh and his work, and deliver me from evil-doing folk; ﴾11﴿

وَمَرۡيَمَ ابۡنَتَ عِمۡرٰنَ الَّتِىۡۤ اَحۡصَنَتۡ فَرۡجَهَا فَنَفَخۡنَا فِيۡهِ مِنۡ رُّوۡحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتۡ بِكَلِمٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهٖ وَكَانَتۡ مِنَ الۡقٰنِتِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۲﴾

And Mary, daughter of 'Imran, whose body was chaste, therefor We breathed therein something of Our Spirit. And she put faith in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was of the obedient. ﴾12﴿
