Can occur, except
By the leave of God:

In God, (God) guides his
Heart (aright): for God
Knows all things.

Of Our Apostle is but
To proclaim (the Message)
Clearly and openly.

Truly, among your wives
And your children are (some
That are) enemies to
Yourselves: so beware
Of them! But if ye
Forgive and overlook,
And cover up (their faults),
Verily God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
15. Innama amwalukum waawladukum fitnatun waAllahu AAindahu ajrun AAatheemun

As much as ye can;

And spend in charity
For the benefit of
Your own souls.

The covetousness of their own
Souls,—they are the ones
That achieve prosperity.

A beautiful loan, He

Will grant you Forgiveness:
For God is most Ready
To appreciate (service)
Most Forbearing,—
