| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah She That Disputeth, The Pleading Woman, She Who Pleaded(al-Mujadilah)
--- |
|---|
| 58:1 | | Indeed Allah has heard the statement of the female who discusses a dispute with you about her spouse and submits a complaint to Allah. And Allah hears the discourse of you two. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer |
| 58:2 | | Those among you who indulge in the game of back with their wives — they are not their mothers (because of this senseless and false utterance). (Women are) not their mothers except those who delivered them. And surely they (who indulge in Az-Zihar), indeed, utter an undesirable form of statement and something which is evident falsehood. And surely Allah is indeed Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving |
| 58:3 | | And those who indulge in Az-Zihar (the game of back) with their women; then indulge a 2nd time in what they uttered (before, which Allah forgave and pardoned without any ransom), then freeing one neck (from bondage is necessary) before the two came in physical contact (as husband and wife). This unto you: you are admonished regarding this. And Allah is All-Aware about what you do |
| 58:4 | | And that who found not (for freeing one person from some sort of bondage), then (for such a one the replacement is) fasts for two consequitive months before (the stage) that they two came in physical contact (in matrimonial relations). So, that person who finds not the capacity (even for this 2nd form of ransom) then (for him is) ‘providing food’ to sixty needy persons. This (law is framed) so that you people may develop Faith in Allah and His Messenger. And these are the limits set by Allah. And for disbelievers: (there is) a painful torment |
| 58:5 | | Verily, those who oppose Allah and His Messenger stand disgraced as were disgraced those who (passed) before them. And definitely We have sent down Ayaatin Bayyinat. And for the disbelievers (is) a disgracing torment |
| 58:6 | | The Day Allah will resurrect them all together, then He will inform them about what they did. Allah has kept account of it, while they forgot it. And Allah is Witness over all things |
| 58:7 | | Have you not seen that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth? Does not take place a secret discussion among three individuals (troika) but He is the Fourth over them, and nor of five individuals but He is the Sixth over them; and neither less than this, and nor more, but He is alongwith them wherever they happened to be (in discussion). Afterwards He will inform them of that which they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, Allah is All-Knower of everything |
| 58:8 | | Have you not seen towards those who were forbidden to hold secret talks, afterwards they return to that they were prohibited thereof? And they indulge in secret discussion among themselves — in sin and opposition, and disobedience of the Messenger. And when they approached you, they greeted you with the words with which Allah greets you not. And they say unto themselves: “Why does not Allah punish us for what we utter?” Sufficient is unto them Hell — they will proceed to it; so an evil destination (indeed) |
| 58:9 | | O you who have Believed! Whenever you held a secret counsel, then do not have a secret discussion amongst yourselves for sin and opposition, and disobedience of the Messenger. And have private discussion for Al-Birr (the desirable matter) and Taqwa (obedience and piety). And pay obedience to Allah — That One, unto Whom you would be made to assemble |
| 58:10 | | Surely, what is a secret counsel (for the sake of opposition and disobedience is) from the Satan — in order that he may cause grief to those who have Believed. And he is not one who is able to cause harm to them in the least except under permission of Allah. And in Allah let the Believers put (their) trust |
| 58:11 | | O you who have Believed! When it is told unto you: “Make a place (to accommodate others) in the gatherings, then do create a place (for others); Allah will provide a place for you (under His Mercy). And when it has been announced: 'Disperse', then rise up and move. Allah will elevate those who have Believed amongst you. And for those who have been given Knowledge (are) ranks (much higher). And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do |
| 58:12 | | O you who have accepted Faith! When you had a private discussion with the Messenger, then arrange in advance between the two hands of your private discussion (i.e., prior to your private discussion) some donation. This is better for you and purer. But if you found not (due to your weak economic position), then certainly Allah is Oft-Forgiving, continuously Merciful |
| 58:13 | | Did you become disturbed that you may arrange prior to your private discussion some donations? So when you did not do it and Allah (still) turned to you (in Mercy), then establish As-Salat and pay Az-Zakat, and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is All-Aware with what you practice " |
| 58:14 | | Have you not seen towards those who took as friends a nation upon whom Allah has set His wrath? They are not of you and nor of them and they take oath on something which is false and untrue, while they know (the correct situation) |
| 58:15 | | Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment. Certainly they: evil (it is) what they used to practice |
| 58:16 | | They have utilized their oaths as a shield; so they have hindered people from the Way of Allah, so for them is a disgracing punishment |
| 58:17 | | Will never provide them benefit their wealth, and nor their children against Allah to any extent. They (will be) dwellers of the Fire. They will be abiders therein |
| 58:18 | | The Day Allah resurrects them all together, then they will swear to Him in the same way as they swear to you (Muslims). And they think that they (take a stand) on something. Beware! Surely they: they (very ones are) the liars |
| 58:19 | | Satan has found a grip over them, so he has made them forget Zikr (‘Message’) of Allah. They are (the) party of Satan. Beware! Verily, the party of Satan: they (very ones are) the losers |
| 58:20 | | Certainly, those who oppose Allah and His Messenger: they (will be) among the lowest ones |
| 58:21 | | Allah has written down (in His Al-Kitab): “Surely I shall be Victorious: I as well as My Messengers!” Verily, Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty |
| 58:22 | | You will not find a nation who Believe in Allah and the Last Day (in a state that) they make friends that who opposed Allah and His Messenger — even though they happened (to be) their fathers (and fore-fathers), or their sons, or their brothers or their kindred. Those people: (Allah) has engraved Faith in their hearts and He has strengthened them with a Ruh (Spirit) proceeding from Him. And He will admit them to Gardens — flow underneath them rivers, abiders therein. Allah got pleased with them and they got pleased with Him. They are Hizbullah (Group of Allah). Beware! Verily, the group of Allah: they (very ones are) the successful ones |
