Surah At-Tahrim
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَآ اَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ لَكَۚ تَبْتَغِيْ مَرْضَاتَ اَزْوَاجِكَۗ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ١
Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu lima tuḥarrimu mā aḥallallāhu lak(a), tabtagī marḍāta azwājik(a), wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).
[1]
O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
قَدْ فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ اَيْمَانِكُمْۚ وَاللّٰهُ مَوْلٰىكُمْۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيْمُ الْحَكِيْمُ٢
Qad faraḍallāhu lakum taḥillata aimānikum, wallāhu maulākum, wa huwal-‘alīmul-ḥakīm(u).
[2]
Allah has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths. And Allah is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise.
وَاِذْ اَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ اِلٰى بَعْضِ اَزْوَاجِهٖ حَدِيْثًاۚ فَلَمَّا نَبَّاَتْ بِهٖ وَاَظْهَرَهُ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ عَرَّفَ بَعْضَهٗ وَاَعْرَضَ عَنْۢ بَعْضٍۚ فَلَمَّا نَبَّاَهَا بِهٖ قَالَتْ مَنْ اَنْۢبَاَكَ هٰذَاۗ قَالَ نَبَّاَنِيَ الْعَلِيْمُ الْخَبِيْرُ٣
Wa iż asarran-nabiyyu ilā ba‘ḍi azwājihī ḥadīṡā(n), falammā nabba'at bihī wa aẓharahullāhu ‘alaihi ‘arrafa ba‘ḍahū wa a‘raḍa ‘am baḍ(in), falammā nabba'ahā bihī qālat man amba'aka hāżā, qāla nabba'aniyal-‘alīmul-khabīr(u).
[3]
And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement; and when she informed [another] of it and Allah showed it to him, he made known part of it and ignored a part. And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?" He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Acquainted."
اِنْ تَتُوْبَآ اِلَى اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوْبُكُمَاۚ وَاِنْ تَظٰهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ مَوْلٰىهُ وَجِبْرِيْلُ وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۚ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ ظَهِيْرٌ٤
In tatūbā ilallāhi faqad ṣagat qulūbukumā, wa in taẓāharā ‘alaihi fa innallāha huwa maulāhu wa jibrīlu wa ṣāliḥul-mu'minīn(a), wal-malā'ikatu ba‘da żālika ẓahīr(un).
[4]
If you two [wives] repent to Allah, [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him - then indeed Allah is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants.
عَسٰى رَبُّهٗٓ اِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ اَنْ يُّبْدِلَهٗٓ اَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِّنْكُنَّ مُسْلِمٰتٍ مُّؤْمِنٰتٍ قٰنِتٰتٍ تٰۤىِٕبٰتٍ عٰبِدٰتٍ سٰۤىِٕحٰتٍ ثَيِّبٰتٍ وَّاَبْكَارًا٥
‘Asā rabbuhū in ṭallaqakunna ay yubdilahū azwājan khairam minkunna muslimātim mu'minātin qānitātin tā'ibātin ‘ābidātin sā'iḥātin ṡayyibātiw wa abkārā(n).
[5]
Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allah], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling - [ones] previously married and virgins.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا قُوْٓا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَاَهْلِيْكُمْ نَارًا وَّقُوْدُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلٰۤىِٕكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُوْنَ اللّٰهَ مَآ اَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُوْنَ مَا يُؤْمَرُوْنَ٦
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū qū anfusakum wa ahlīkum nāraw waqūduhan-nāsu wal-ḥijāratu ‘alaihā malā'ikatun gilāẓun syidādul lā ya‘ṣūnallāha mā amarahum wa yaf‘alūna mā yu'marūn(a).
[6]
O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا الْيَوْمَۗ اِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ٧
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna kafarū lā ta‘tażīrul-yaum(a), innamā tujzauna mā kuntum ta‘malūn(a).
[7]
O you who have disbelieved, make no excuses that Day. You will only be recompensed for what you used to do.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوْحًاۗ عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يُّكَفِّرَ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۙ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِى اللّٰهُ النَّبِيَّ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗۚ نُوْرُهُمْ يَسْعٰى بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَبِاَيْمَانِهِمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَآ اَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُوْرَنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَاۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ٨
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū tūbū ilallāhi taubatan naṣūḥā(n), ‘asā rabbukum ay yukaffira ‘ankum sayyi'ātikum wa yudkhilakum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhār(u), yauma lā yukhzillāhun-nabiyya wal-lażīna āmanū ma‘ah(ū), nūruhum yas‘ā baina aidīhim wa bi'aimānihim yaqūlūna rabbanā atmim lanā nūranā wagfir lanā, innaka ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).
[8]
O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, "Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent."
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْۗ وَمَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۗ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ٩
Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu jāhidil-kuffāra wal-munāfiqīna wagluẓ ‘alaihim, wa ma'wāhum jahannam(u), wa bi'sal-maṣīr(u).
[9]
O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا امْرَاَتَ نُوْحٍ وَّامْرَاَتَ لُوْطٍۗ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتٰهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـًٔا وَّقِيْلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدّٰخِلِيْنَ١٠
Ḍaraballāhu maṡalal lil-lażīna kafarumra'ata nūḥiw wamra'ata lūṭ(in), kānatā taḥta ‘abdaini min ‘ibādinā ṣāliḥaini fa khānatāhumā falam yugniyā ‘anhumā minallāhi syai'aw wa qīladkhulan-nāra ma‘ad-dākhilīn(a).
[10]
Allah presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants but betrayed them, so those prophets did not avail them from Allah at all, and it was said, "Enter the Fire with those who enter."
وَضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا امْرَاَتَ فِرْعَوْنَۘ اِذْ قَالَتْ رَبِّ ابْنِ لِيْ عِنْدَكَ بَيْتًا فِى الْجَنَّةِ وَنَجِّنِيْ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِهٖ وَنَجِّنِيْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَۙ١١
Wa ḍaraballāhu maṡalal lil-lażīna āmanumra'ata fir‘aun(a), iż qālat rabbibni lī ‘indaka baitan fil jannati wa najjinī min fir‘auna wa ‘amalihī wa najjinī minal qaumiẓ-ẓālimīn(a).
[11]
And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, "My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds and save me from the wrongdoing people."
وَمَرْيَمَ ابْنَتَ عِمْرٰنَ الَّتِيْٓ اَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهٖ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْقٰنِتِيْنَ ࣖ ۔١٢
Wa maryamabnata ‘imrānal-latī aḥṣanat farjahā fa nafakhnā fīhi mir rūḥinā wa ṣaddaqat bikalimāti rabbihā wa kutubihī wa kānat minal-qānitīn(a).
[12]
And [the example of] Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into [her garment] through Our angel, and she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient.
