Alrrijalu qawwamoona AAala alnnisa-i bima faddala Allahu baAAdahum AAala baAAdin wabima anfaqoo min amwalihim faalssalihatu qanitatun hafithatun lilghaybi bima hafitha Allahu waallatee takhafoona nushoozahunna faAAithoohunna waohjuroohunna fee almadajiAAi waidriboohunna fa-in ataAAnakum fala tabghoo AAalayhinna sabeelan inna Allaha kana AAaliyyan kabeeran\n34. Men are the protectors\n And maintainers of women,\n Because God has given\n The one more (strength)\n Than the other, and because\n They support them\n From their means.\n Therefore the righteous women\n Are devoutly obedient, and guard\n In (the husband's) absence\n What God would have them guard.\n As to those women\n On whose part ye fear\n Disloyalty and ill-conduct,\n Admonish them (first),\n (Next), refuse to share their beds,\n (And last) beat them (lightly);\n But if they return to obedience,\n Seek not against them\n Means (of annoyance):\nFor God is Most High,\n Great (above you all).\n35. Wa-in khiftum shiqaqa baynihima faibAAathoo hakaman min ahlihi wahakaman min ahliha in yureeda islahan yuwaffiqi Allahu baynahuma inna Allaha kana AAaleeman khabeeran\n35. If ye fear a breach\n Between them twain,\n Appoint (two) arbiters,\n One from his family,\n And the other from hers;\n If they wish for peace,\n God will cause\n Their reconciliation:\n For God hath full knowledge,\n And is acquainted\n With all things.\n36. WaoAAbudoo Allaha wala tushrikoo bihi shay-an wabialwalidayni ihsanan wabithee alqurba waalyatama waalmasakeeni waaljari thee alqurba waaljari aljunubi waalssahibi bialjanbi waibni alssabeeli wama malakat aymanukum inna Allaha la yuhibbu man kana mukhtalan fakhooran\n36. serve God, and join not\n Any partners with Him;\n And do good\n To parents, kinsfolk,\n Orphans, those in need,\n Neighbours who are near,\n Neighbours who are strangers,\n The Companion by your side,\n The way-farer (ye meet),\n And what your right hands possess:\n For God loveth not\n The arrogant, the vainglorious;\u2014\n37. Allatheena yabkhaloona waya/muroona alnnasa bialbukhli wayaktumoona ma atahumu Allahu min fadlihi waaAAtadna lilkafireena AAathaban muheenan\n37. (Nor) those who are niggardly\n Or enjoin niggardliness on others,\n Or hide the bounties\n Which God hath bestowed\n On them; for We have prepared,\n For those who resist Faith,\n A Punishment that steeps\n Them in contempt;\u2014\n38. Waallatheena yunfiqoona amwalahum ri-aa alnnasi wala yu/minoona biAllahi wala bialyawmi al-akhiri waman yakuni alshshaytanu lahu qareenan fasaa qareenan\n38. Not those who spend\n Of their substance, to be seen\n Of men, but have no faith\n In God and the Last Day:\n If any take the Evil One\n For their intimate,\n What a dreadful intimate he is!\n39. Wamatha AAalayhim law amanoo biAllahi waalyawmi al-akhiri waanfaqoo mimma razaqahumu Allahu wakana Allahu bihim AAaleeman\n39. And what burden\n Were it on them if they\n Had faith in God\n And in the Last Day,\n And they spent\n Out of what God hath\n Given them for sustenance?\n For God hath full\n Knowledge of them.\n40. Inna Allaha la yathlimu mithqala tharratin wa-in taku hasanatan yudaAAifha wayu/ti min ladunhu ajran AAatheeman\n40. God is never unjust\n In the least degree:\n If there is any good (done),\n He doubleth it,\n And giveth from His own\n Presence a great reward.\n41. Fakayfa itha ji/na min kulli ommatin bishaheedin waji/na bika AAala haola-i shaheedan\n41. How then if We brought\n From each People a witness,\nAnd We brought thee\n As a witness against\n These People!\n42. Yawma-ithin yawaddu allatheena kafaroo waAAasawoo alrrasoola law tusawwa bihimu al-ardu wala yaktumoona Allaha hadeethan\n42. On that day\n Those who reject Faith\n And disobey the Apostle\n Will wish that the earth\n Were made one with them:\n But never will they hide\n A single fact from God!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra IV.: Nis\u0101a, or The Women.: Section 6 (34-42)","type":"page"}
