--- |
|---|
| 58:1 | | God has indeed heard the words of she who disputes with thee concerning her husband and complains to God. And God hears your conversation. Truly God is Hearing, Seeing |
| 58:2 | | Those among you who commit ?ihar against their wives, those are not their mothers. None are their mothers save those who gave birth to them. Truly they speak indecent words and calumny. And truly God is Pardoning, Forgiving |
| 58:3 | | As for those who commit ?ihar against their wives and then go back on what they have said, let them free a slave before they touch one another; to that are you counseled. And God is Aware of whatsoever you do |
| 58:4 | | And whosoever finds not [the means], let him fast two consecutive months before they touch one another. And whosoever is unable, let him feed sixty indigent people. That is so that you may believe in God and His Messenger. These are the limits set by God, and the disbelievers shall have a painful punishment |
| 58:5 | | Truly those who oppose God and His Messenger shall be abased, just as those before them were abased. We have indeed sent down clear signs, and the disbelievers shall have a humiliating punishmen |
| 58:6 | | on the Day when God resurrects them all together, then informs them of that which they did. God has kept account of it while they have forgotten it; and God is Witness over all things |
| 58:7 | | Hast thou not considered that God knows whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth? There is no secret converse among three, but that He is their fourth, nor among five, but that He is their sixth, nor less than that, nor more, but that He is with them wheresoever they are. Then on the Day of Resurrection He will inform them of that which they did. Truly God is Knower of all things |
| 58:8 | | Hast thou not seen those who were forbidden from secretly conversing then returned to that which they had been forbidden, secretly conversing with a view to sin, enmity, and disobeying the Messenger? And when they come to thee and greet thee, they greet thee in a manner that God has not greeted thee and say within themselves, “Why does God not punish us for what we say?” Hell suffices them, burning therein. What an evil journey’s end |
| 58:9 | | O you who believe! If you converse in secret, then do not converse in secret with a view to sin, enmity, and disobeying the Messenger; converse in secret with a view to piety and reverence. And reverence God, unto Whom you shall be gathered |
| 58:10 | | Secret converse is only from Satan, so that those who believe may grieve; yet he harms them not a whit, save by God’s Leave. And in God let the believers trust |
| 58:11 | | O you who believe! When it is said unto you, “Make room for one another in the assemblies,” then make room, and God will make room for you. And when it is said, “Rise,” then rise, and God will raise in degrees those among you who believe and those who have been given knowledge. God is Aware of whatsoever you do |
| 58:12 | | O you who believe! When you converse in secret with the Messenger, offer charity before your secret converse. That is better for you and purer. But if you do not find [the means], truly God is Forgiving, Merciful |
| 58:13 | | Are you apprehensive about offering charity before your secret converse? If you do not do so and God relents unto you, then perform the prayer, give the alms, and obey God and His Messenger. God is Aware of whatsoever you do |
| 58:14 | | Hast thou not seen those who befriend a people with whom God is wroth? They are not of you, nor are you of them. And they knowingly swear upon falsehood |
| 58:15 | | God has prepared for them a severe punishment. Evil indeed is that which they used to do |
| 58:16 | | They took their oaths as a shield and thus turned from the way of God; so theirs shall be a humiliating punishment |
| 58:17 | | Neither their property nor their children will avail them aught against God. They are the inhabitants of the Fire, abiding therein |
| 58:18 | | On the Day when God resurrects them all, they will swear to Him just as they swear to you, supposing that they have some standing. Lo! Truly they are the liars |
| 58:19 | | Satan has overwhelmed them, and so made them forget the remembrance of God. They are the party of Satan. Lo! The party of Satan are losers |
| 58:20 | | Truly those who oppose God and His Messenger, they will be among the abased |
| 58:21 | | God has decreed, “I shall surely prevail, I and My messengers!” Truly God is Strong, Mighty |
| 58:22 | | You shall not find a people who believe in God and the Last Day loving those who oppose God and His Messenger, even if they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their tribe. God has inscribed faith upon their hearts and strengthened them with a Spirit from Him. He causes them to enter Gardens with rivers running below, to abide therein, God being content with them and they being content with Him. They are the party of God. Truly the party of God—it is they who shall prosper |
