58:1  God has heard the words of the woman who argued with you concerning her husband while complaining to God. God heard your conversation. God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

58:2  There are those of you who divorce their wives by equating them with their mothers, they are not their mothers. Their mothers are those who gave birth to them. What they said is wrong and a blatant lie. But God is All-Pardoning and All-Forgiving.

58:3  Those of you who renounce their wives by equating them with their mothers, then wish to go back on what they said, must free a slave before they touch one another. This is what you are instructed to do, and God is well aware of what you do.

58:4  But he who does not find the means must fast for two months consecutively before touching one another. And if he is unable, then he should feed sixty disable people. This is to affirm your faith in God and His Messenger. These are the limits set by God. And the unbelievers will have a painful punishment.

58:5  Those who oppose God and His Messenger will be restrained, like those before them. We have sent down self-evident messages. The unbelievers will have a painful punishment

58:6  on the Day when God will resurrect them all and tell them what they did. God has kept accounts of it all, while they have forgotten it; God is Witness over all things.

58:7  Do not you realize that God knows everything in the heavens and on Earth? There is no secret conversation between three people, but He is their fourth; nor between five, but He is their sixth; nor between less than that, nor more, but He is with them wherever they are. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. God is All-knowing of everything.

58:8  Have you not noticed that those who were prohibited from conspiring secretly, have returned to what they were prohibited from doing? They conspire to commit wrongdoing, aggression, and defiance of the Messenger. And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting that God never greeted you with. And they say to themselves, “Why does not God punish us for what we say?” Hell will be enough for them. They will burn there. What a miserable destiny.

58:9  Believers, when you converse privately, do not converse about committing wrongdoing, aggression and defiance of the Messenger, but converse about righteousness and being mindful of God. Be ever mindful of God, to whom you will be gathered.

58:10  Conversing in secret to conspire is from Satan, to dishearten the believers, though it will not harm them at all, unless God permits it. So let the believers put their trust in God.

58:11  Believers, when you are told to make room in your gathering, then do so; God will make room for you. And when you are told, "Get up," then get up; God will elevate in rank those who believed among you and those who were given knowledge. God is well aware of what you do.

58:12  Believers, when you privately converse with the Messenger, proceed by offering something in charity. That is better for you and purer. But if you do not find the means to do so, then God is the Most Forgiving, the Mercy Giver.

58:13  Do you regret not offering charity before your conversation with the Prophet? If you did not give, and God pardoned you, then establish prayers, and give charitable gifts, and obey God and His Messenger. God is well Aware of what you do.

58:14  Don’t you see those who befriend a people with whom God is angry? They are neither with you nor with them, and knowingly swear to lies.

58:15  God has prepared a severe punishment for them. What they were doing is evil.

58:16  They took their oaths as a cover-up, and turned others away from the way of God. They will have a humiliating punishment.

58:17  Neither their wealth nor their children will be of any use to them against God. They will be the inhabitants of the Fire, where they will remain

58:18  On the Day when God will resurrect them altogether, they will swear to Him as they swear to you, thinking that this will help them. What liars they are.

58:19  Satan has overcome them and made them forget the remembrance of God. Those are the party of Satan. Unquestionably, the party of Satan will be the doomed.

58:20  Those who oppose God and His Messenger are among the most humiliated.

58:21  God has written, "I will surely prevail, I and My Messengers." God is Strong, Revered.

58:22  You will not find a people who believe in God and the Last Day, showing affection to those who oppose God and His Messenger, even if they were their parents or their children, or their brothers or their close relatives. God has written faith into the hearts of these people, and has strengthened them with His spirit. He will admit them to Gardens graced with flowing streams, where they will dwell forever. God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. These are of the party of God. Unquestionably, the party of God will be the successful.
