Wayastaftoonaka fee alnnisa-i quli Allahu yufteekum feehinna wama yutla AAalaykum fee alkitabi fee yatama alnnisa-i allatee la tu/toonahunna ma kutiba lahunna watarghaboona an tankihoohunna waalmustadAAafeena mina alwildani waan taqoomoo lilyatama bialqisti wama tafAAaloo min khayrin fa-inna Allaha kana bihi AAaleeman\n127. They ask thy instruction\n Concerning the Women\n Say: God doth\n Instruct you about them:\n And (remember) what hath\n Been rehearsed unto you\n In the Book, concerning\n The orphans of women to whom\n Ye give not the portions\n Prescribed, and yet whom ye\n Desire to marry, as also\n Concerning the children\n Who are weak and oppressed:\n That ye stand firm\n For justice to orphans.\n There is not a good deed\n Which ye do, but God\n Is well-acquainted therewith.\n128. Wa-ini imraatun khafat min baAAliha nushoozan aw iAAradan fala junaha AAalayhima an yusliha baynahuma sulhan waalssulhu khayrun waohdirati al-anfusu alshshuhha wa-in tuhsinoo watattaqoo fa-inna Allaha kana bima taAAmaloona khabeeran\n128. If a wife fears\n Cruelty or desertion\n On her husband's part,\n There is no blame on them\n If they arrange\n An amicable settlement\n Between themselves;\n And such settlement is best;\nEven though men's souls\n Are swayed by greed.\n But if ye do good\n And practise self-restraint,\n God is well-acquainted\n With all that ye do.\n129. Walan tastateeAAoo an taAAdiloo bayna alnnisa-i walaw harastum fala tameeloo kulla almayli fatatharooha kaalmuAAallaqati wa-in tuslihoo watattaqoo fa-inna Allaha kana ghafooran raheeman\n129. Ye are never able\n To be fair and just\n As between women,\n Even if it is\n Your ardent desire:\n But turn not away\n (From a woman) altogether,\n So as to leave her (as it were)\n Hanging (in the air).\n If ye come to a friendly\n Understanding, and practise\n Self-restraint, God is\n Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.\n130. Wa-in yatafarraqa yughni Allahu kullan min saAAatihi wakana Allahu wasiAAan hakeeman\n130. But if they disagree\n (And must part), God\n Will provide abundance\n For all from His\n All-reaching bounty:\n For God is He\n That careth for all\n And is Wise.\n131. Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee al-ardi walaqad wassayna allatheena ootoo alkitaba min qablikum wa-iyyakum ani ittaqoo Allaha wa-in takfuroo fa-inna lillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee al-ardi wakana Allahu ghaniyyan hameedan\n131. To God belong all things\n In the heavens and on earth.\nVerily We have directed\n The People of the Book\n Before you, and you (O Muslims).\n To fear God. But if ye\n Deny Him, to! unto God\n Belong all things\n In the heavens and on earth,\n And God is free\n Of all wants, worthy\n Of all praise.\n132. Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee al-ardi wakafa biAllahi wakeelan\n132. Yea, unto God belong\n All things in the heavens\n And on earth, and enough\n Is God to carry through\n All affairs.\n133. In yasha/ yuthhibkum ayyuha alnnasu waya/ti bi-akhareena wakana Allahu AAala thalika qadeeran\n133. If it were His Will,\n He could destroy you,\n O mankind, and create\n Another race; for He\n Hath power this to do.\n134. Man kana yureedu thawaba alddunya faAAinda Allahi thawabu alddunya waal-akhirati wakana Allahu sameeAAan baseeran\n134. If any one desires\n A reward in this life,\n In God's (gift) is the reward\n (Both) of this life\n And of the Hereafter:\n For God is He that heareth\n And seeth (all things).","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra IV.: Nis\u0101a, or The Women.: Section 19 (127-134)","type":"page"}
