Surah Al-Mujadilah
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
قَدْ سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِيْ تُجَادِلُكَ فِيْ زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِيْٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ۖوَاللّٰهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ١
Qad sami‘allāhu qaulal-latī tujādiluka fī zaujihā wa tasytakī ilallāh(i), wallāhu yasma‘u taḥāwurakumā, innallāha samī‘um baṣīr(un).
[1]
Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you, [O Muhammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allah. And Allah hears your dialogue; indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing.
اَلَّذِيْنَ يُظٰهِرُوْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ نِّسَاۤىِٕهِمْ مَّا هُنَّ اُمَّهٰتِهِمْۗ اِنْ اُمَّهٰتُهُمْ اِلَّا الّٰۤـِٔيْ وَلَدْنَهُمْۗ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مُنْكَرًا مِّنَ الْقَوْلِ وَزُوْرًاۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُوْرٌ٢
Allażīna yuẓāhirūna minkum min nisā'ihim mā hunna ummahātihim, in ummahātuhum illal-lā'ī waladnahum, wa innahum layaqūlūna munkaram minal-qauli wa zūrā(n), wa innallāha la‘afuwwun gafūr(un).
[2]
Those who pronounce thihar among you [to separate] from their wives - they are not [consequently] their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. And indeed, they are saying an objectionable statement and a falsehood. But indeed, Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving.
وَالَّذِيْنَ يُظٰهِرُوْنَ مِنْ نِّسَاۤىِٕهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُوْدُوْنَ لِمَا قَالُوْا فَتَحْرِيْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّتَمَاۤسَّاۗ ذٰلِكُمْ تُوْعَظُوْنَ بِهٖۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ٣
Wal-lażīna yuẓāhirūna min nisā'ihim ṡumma ya‘ūdūna limā qālū fa taḥrīru raqabatim min qabli ay yatamāssā, żālikum tū‘aẓūna bih(ī), wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna khabīr(un).
[3]
And those who pronounce thihar from their wives and then [wish to] go back on what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
فَمَنْ لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّتَمَاۤسَّاۗ فَمَنْ لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَاِطْعَامُ سِتِّيْنَ مِسْكِيْنًاۗ ذٰلِكَ لِتُؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۗ وَتِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ ۗوَلِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ٤
Famal lam yajid faṣiyāmu syahraini mutatābi‘aini min qabli ay yatamāssā, famal lam yastaṭi‘ fa iṭ‘āmu sittīna miskīnā(n), żālika litu'minū billāhi wa rasūlih(ī), wa tilka ḥudūdullāh(i), wa lil-kāfirīna ‘ażābun alīm(un).
[4]
And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That is for you to believe [completely] in Allah and His Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allah. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُحَاۤدُّوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ كُبِتُوْا كَمَا كُبِتَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَآ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍۗ وَلِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌۚ٥
Innal-lażīna yuḥāddūnallāha wa rasūlahū kubitū kamā kubital-lażīna min qablihim wa qad anzalnā āyātim bayyināt(in), wa lil-kāfirīna ‘ażābum muhīn(un).
[5]
Indeed, those who oppose Allah and His Messenger are abased as those before them were abased. And We have certainly sent down verses of clear evidence. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.
يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيْعًا فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوْاۗ اَحْصٰىهُ اللّٰهُ وَنَسُوْهُۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ ࣖ٦
Yauma yab‘aṡuhumullāhu jamī‘an fa yunabbi'uhum bimā ‘amilū, aḥṣāhullāhu wa nasūh(u), wallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in syahīd(un).
[6]
On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did. Allah had enumerated it, while they forgot it; and Allah is, over all things, Witness.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ مَا يَكُوْنُ مِنْ نَّجْوٰى ثَلٰثَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلَآ اَدْنٰى مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَآ اَكْثَرَ اِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ اَيْنَ مَا كَانُوْاۚ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوْا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ٧
Alam tara annallāha ya‘lamu mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), mā yakūnu min najwā ṡalāṡatin illā huwa rābi‘uhum wa lā khamsatin illā huwa sādisuhum wa lā adnā min żālika wa lā akṡara illā huwa ma‘ahum aina mā kānū, ṡumma yunabbi'uhum bimā ‘amilū yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), innallāha bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).
[7]
Have you not considered that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There is in no private conversation three but that He is the fourth of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them - and no less than that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, of all things, Knowing.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ نُهُوْا عَنِ النَّجْوٰى ثُمَّ يَعُوْدُوْنَ لِمَا نُهُوْا عَنْهُ وَيَتَنٰجَوْنَ بِالْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ الرَّسُوْلِۖ وَاِذَا جَاۤءُوْكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللّٰهُ ۙوَيَقُوْلُوْنَ فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا اللّٰهُ بِمَا نَقُوْلُۗ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۚ يَصْلَوْنَهَاۚ فَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ٨
Alam tara ilal-lażīna nuhū ‘anin-najwā ṡummā ya‘ūdūna limā nuhū ‘anhu wa yatanājauna bil-iṡmi wal-‘udwāni wa ma‘ṣiyatir-rasūl(i), wa iżā jā'ūka ḥayyauka bimā lam yuḥayyika bihillāh(u), wa yaqūlūna fī anfusihim lau lā yu‘ażżibunallāhu bimā naqūl(u), ḥasbuhum jahannam(u), yaṣlaunahā, fa bi'sal-maṣīr(u).
[8]
Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation, then they return to that which they were forbidden and converse among themselves about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to you, they greet you with that [word] by which Allah does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the destination.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا تَنَاجَيْتُمْ فَلَا تَتَنَاجَوْا بِالْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ الرَّسُوْلِ وَتَنَاجَوْا بِالْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوٰىۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ٩
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā tanājaitum falā tatanājau bil-iṡmi wal-‘udwāni wa ma‘ṣiyatir-rasūli wa tanājau bil-birri wat-taqwā, wattaqullāhal-lażī ilaihi tuḥsyarūn(a).
[9]
O you who have believed, when you converse privately, do not converse about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger but converse about righteousness and piety. And fear Allah, to whom you will be gathered.
اِنَّمَا النَّجْوٰى مِنَ الشَّيْطٰنِ لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَلَيْسَ بِضَاۤرِّهِمْ شَيْـًٔا اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ١٠
Innaman-najwā minasy-syaiṭāni liyaḥzunal-lażīna āmanū wa laisa biḍārrihim syai'an illā bi'iżnillāh(i), wa ‘alallāhi falyatawakkalil-mu'minūn(a).
[10]
Private conversation is only from Satan that he may grieve those who have believed, but he will not harm them at all except by permission of Allah. And upon Allah let the believers rely.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا قِيْلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوْا فِى الْمَجٰلِسِ فَافْسَحُوْا يَفْسَحِ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْۚ وَاِذَا قِيْلَ انْشُزُوْا فَانْشُزُوْا يَرْفَعِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْۙ وَالَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجٰتٍۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ١١
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā qīla lakum tafassaḥū fil-majālisi fafsaḥū yafsaḥillāhu lakum, wa iżā qīlansyuzū fansyuzū yarfa‘illāhul-lażīna āmanū minkum, wal-lażīna ūtul-‘ilma darajāt(in), wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna khabīr(un).
[11]
O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in assemblies, then make space; Allah will make space for you. And when you are told, "Arise," then arise; Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ الرَّسُوْلَ فَقَدِّمُوْا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوٰىكُمْ صَدَقَةً ۗذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَاَطْهَرُۗ فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَجِدُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ١٢
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā nājaitumur-rasūla fa qaddimū baina yaday najwākum ṣadaqah(tan), żālika khairul lakum wa aṭhar(u), fa'illam tajidū fa innallāha gafūrur raḥīm(un).
[12]
O you who have believed, when you [wish to] privately consult the Messenger, present before your consultation a charity. That is better for you and purer. But if you find not [the means] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
ءَاَشْفَقْتُمْ اَنْ تُقَدِّمُوْا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوٰىكُمْ صَدَقٰتٍۗ فَاِذْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوْا وَتَابَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۗوَاللّٰهُ خَبِيْرٌ ۢبِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ١٣
A'asyfaqtum an tuqaddimū baina yaday najwākum ṣadaqāt(in), fa iż lam taf‘alū wa tāballāhu ‘alaikum fa'aqīmuṣ-ṣalāta wa ātuz-zakāta wa aṭī‘ullāha wa rasūlah(ūwallāhu khabīrum bimā ta‘malūn(a).
[13]
Have you feared to present before your consultation charities? Then when you do not and Allah has forgiven you, then [at least] establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
۞ اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ تَوَلَّوْا قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْۗ مَا هُمْ مِّنْكُمْ وَلَا مِنْهُمْۙ وَيَحْلِفُوْنَ عَلَى الْكَذِبِ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُوْنَ١٤
Alam tara ilal-lażīna tawallau qauman gaḍiballāhu ‘alaihim, mā hum minkum wa lā minhum, wa yaḥlifūna ‘alal-każibi wa hum ya‘lamūn(a).
[14]
Have you not considered those who make allies of a people with whom Allah has become angry? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear to untruth while they know [they are lying].
اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاۗ اِنَّهُمْ سَاۤءَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ١٥
A‘addallāhu lahum ‘ażāban syadīdā(n), innahum sā'a mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).
[15]
Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.
اِتَّخَذُوْٓا اَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌ١٦
Ittakhażū aimānahum junnatan fa ṣaddū ‘an sabīlillāhi falahum ‘ażābum muhīn(un).
[16]
They took their [false] oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allah, and for them is a humiliating punishment.
لَنْ تُغْنِيَ عَنْهُمْ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلَآ اَوْلَادُهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـًٔاۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۗ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ١٧
Lan tugniya ‘anhum amwāluhum wa lā aulāduhum minallāhi syai'ā(n), ulā'ika aṣḥābun-nār(i), hum fīhā khālidūn(a).
[17]
Never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allah at all. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally
يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيْعًا فَيَحْلِفُوْنَ لَهٗ كَمَا يَحْلِفُوْنَ لَكُمْ وَيَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ عَلٰى شَيْءٍۗ اَلَآ اِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْكٰذِبُوْنَ١٨
Yauma yab‘aṡuhumullāhu jamī‘an fa yaḥlifūna lahū kamā yaḥlifūna lakum wa yaḥsabūna annahum ‘alā syai'(in), alā innahum humul-kāżibūn(a).
[18]
On the Day Allah will resurrect them all, and they will swear to Him as they swear to you and think that they are [standing] on something. Unquestionably, it is they who are the liars.
اِسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ فَاَنْسٰىهُمْ ذِكْرَ اللّٰهِ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ حِزْبُ الشَّيْطٰنِۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ حِزْبَ الشَّيْطٰنِ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ١٩
Istaḥważa ‘alaihimusy-syaiṭānu fa'ansāhum żikrallāh(i), ulā'ika ḥizbusy-syaiṭān(i), alā inna ḥizbasy-syaiṭāni humul-khāsirūn(a).
[19]
Satan has overcome them and made them forget the remembrance of Allah. Those are the party of Satan. Unquestionably, the party of Satan - they will be the losers.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُحَاۤدُّوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗٓ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ فِى الْاَذَلِّيْنَ٢٠
Innal-lażīna yuḥāddūnallāha wa rasūlahū ulā'ika fil-ażallīn(a).
[20]
Indeed, the ones who oppose Allah and His Messenger - those will be among the most humbled.
كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَاَغْلِبَنَّ اَنَا۠ وَرُسُلِيْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيْزٌ٢١
Kataballāhu la'aglibanna ana wa rusulī, innallāha qawiyyun ‘azīz(un).
[21]
Allah has written, "I will surely overcome, I and My messengers." Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ يُوَاۤدُّوْنَ مَنْ حَاۤدَّ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَوْ كَانُوْٓا اٰبَاۤءَهُمْ اَوْ اَبْنَاۤءَهُمْ اَوْ اِخْوَانَهُمْ اَوْ عَشِيْرَتَهُمْۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ كَتَبَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمُ الْاِيْمَانَ وَاَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوْحٍ مِّنْهُ ۗوَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۗ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوْا عَنْهُۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ حِزْبُ اللّٰهِ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ حِزْبَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ ࣖ٢٢
Lā tajidu qaumay yu'minūna billāhi wal-yaumil ākhiri yuwāddūna man ḥāddallāha wa rasūlahū wa lau kānū ābā'ahum au abnā'ahum au ikhwānahum au ‘asyīratahum, ulā'ika kataba fī qulūbihimul-īmāna wa ayyadahum birūḥim minh(u), wa yudkhiluhum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā, raḍiyallāhu ‘anhum wa raḍū ‘anh(u), ulā'ika ḥizbullāh(i), alā inna ḥizballāhi humul-mufliḥūn(a).
[22]
You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. Those - He has decreed within their hearts faith and supported them with spirit from Him. And We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him - those are the party of Allah. Unquestionably, the party of Allah - they are the successful.
