| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah She That is to be Examined, Examining her, She Who is Tested(al-Mumtahinah)

|---|
| 60:1 | | O you who have Believed! Pick up not My enemies and your enemies as auliya; you approach them with affection while indeed they have disbelieved in what came to you of Al-Haqq. They drive out the Messenger as well as you (Muslims) since you Believe in Allah — Nourisher-Sustainer to you. If you happened: you moved out striving in My Cause, and seehead of state My agreements — (yet) you secretly move towards them with affection, and I do know with what you kept secret, and what you made evident. And whoever commits that from amongst you — then indeed he has lost the rightness of the Path |
| 60:2 | | If they gained an upper hand over you they would become enemies unto you, and they would stretch out towards you their hands and their tongues with evil, and they ardently desired if you could reject (the Book of Allah) |
| 60:3 | | Will not give you benefit your (links of) wombs (i.e., your blood relations), and nor your children on the Day of Resurrection. (Allah) will judge between you. And Allah is (the) All-Seer of what you practice |
| 60:4 | | Indeed, there had been for you Uswatun Hasanatun (an ideal life-pattern) in Ibrahim and the people who (were) with him when they said to their nation: “Verily, we are detached from you and from what you worship besides Allah. We have rejected you and there has started between us and between you hostility and hatred for ever — until you develop Faith in Allah — in His Oneness— excluding the statement of Ibrahim regarding his father: 'Surely, I will ask for forgiveness (from Allah) for you', although I do not own any thing from Allah for your benefit. (Then Ibrahim invoked Allah thus:) “Our Nourisher-Sustainer! In You we have put (our) trust, and to You we have turned (in repentance), and to You (is) the final Return |
| 60:5 | | Our Nourisher-Sustainer! Do not make us a trial for those who have disbelieved, and forgive us, our Nourisher-Sustainer! Verily, You, You (are) the All-Mighty, the All-Wise” |
| 60:6 | | Surely, indeed there had been for you, in these people Uswatun Hasanatun (an ideal life-pattern) — for that who had been loohead of state forward to Allah and the Final Day. And whosoever turns away, then verily, Allah: He (is) Self-Sufficient, Worthy of all Praise |
| 60:7 | | Perhaps Allah: (may be) that He establishes affection between you (Muslims) and between those with whom you bred enmity. And Allah is All-Capable, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, continuously Merciful |
| 60:8 | | Allah does not forbid you against those who indulged not in Qital against you on account of Religion, and did not drive you out from your houses — that you may deal with them politely and kindly and deal justly towards them. Surely, Allah likes those who deal with equity and justice |
| 60:9 | | Certainly, what (is a fact is that) Allah forbids you against those who indulged in Qital against you on account of Religion, and have driven you out from your homes, and they provided assistance to each other in connection with your externment (from your houses) — that you may befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then those people: they (very ones) are those who are transgressors |
| 60:10 | | O you who have Believed! When have reached you females who have Believed and who are emigrants, then put them to questioning; Allah Knows better about their Faith. Then if you became certain about these women (that they are) Believing females, then do not send them back to the disbelievers; those women are not lawful unto them and nor they become lawful (as husbands) for those women (who have reverted to Islam). And compensate them what these (disbelieving husbands) have spent (as bridal money on these women). And there is no blame on you that you bind in Nikah (wedlock) those women (although no divorce has been pronounced by their previous husbands) when you have paid those women their bridal-money (ujoor or Mahr). Likewise do not continue the links of wedlock of the disbelieving women. And you should demand what you spent (on such women as bridal-money); and let those (disbelieving husbands like wise) ask (as demand) what they have spent (on those women who have reverted to Islam and have deserted them). This unto you (is) Allah’s Ordainment. He makes judgment amongst you. And Allah is All-Aware, All-Wise |
| 60:11 | | And if any one of your wives has deserted you in favour of the disbelievers, and you counteracted in retaliation (and are satisfied that the deserting wives have no intention to honor their existing wedlock), then pay to those whose wives have left (them)— similar to what they have spent. And pay (sincere) obedience to Allah — That One, you are in Him, Believers |
| 60:12 | | O you An-Nabi (The Prophet)! When Believing females have reached you— these women give you a pledge over — that they shall not set anything to be in partnership with Allah, and they shall not commit theft, and they shall not indulge in Zina and they shall not slay their offsprings, and they shall not approach with a slander which they shall falsely implicate (to the womb) between their hands and their legs, and shall not disobey you in desirable (ordainments and verdicts) — then accept their pledge and ask Allah for their forgiveness. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, continuously Merciful |
| 60:13 | | O you people who have accepted Faith! Do not take as friends a nation Allah has made His wrath descend over them. They are indeed despaired of the Hereafter the way the disbelievers despair about the dwellers of the graves |
