سورة الممتحنة

60. Surah Al-Mumtahanah
She that is to be examined

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

O you who heed warning: take not My enemy and your enemy as allies, extending to them love, when they have denied that which has come to you of the truth — they, turning out the Messenger and you because you believe in God, your Lord, if you go forth to strive in My cause and seeking My pleasure — showing them love in secret. And I best know what you conceal and what you proclaim; and whoso does it among you, he has strayed from the right path.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوّ۪ي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ تُلْقُونَ اِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَٓاءَكُمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّۚ يُخْرِجُونَ الرَّسُولَ وَاِيَّاكُمْ اَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ رَبِّكُمْۜ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ جِهَاداً ف۪ي سَب۪يل۪ي وَابْتِغَٓاءَ مَرْضَات۪ي تُسِرُّونَ اِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِۗ وَاَنَا۬ اَعْلَمُ بِمَٓا اَخْفَيْتُمْ وَمَٓا اَعْلَنْتُمْۜ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْهُ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَٓاءَ السَّب۪يلِ

If they come upon you, they will be enemies to you, and stretch out their hands and their tongues against you with evil; and they wish that you should deny.

اِنْ يَثْقَفُوكُمْ يَكُونُوا لَكُمْ اَعْدَٓاءً وَيَبْسُطُٓوا اِلَيْكُمْ اَيْدِيَهُمْ وَاَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّٓوءِ وَوَدُّوا لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَۜ

In yathqafookum yakoonoo lakam aAAdaanwayabsutoo ilaykum aydiyahum waalsinatahum bissoo-iwawaddoo law takfuroon

Neither your kin nor your children will benefit you on the Day of Resurrection; He will judge between you; and God sees what you do.

لَنْ تَنْفَعَكُمْ اَرْحَامُكُمْ وَلَٓا اَوْلَادُكُمْۚۛ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۚۛ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَص۪يرٌ

There was for you a good model in Abraham and those with him when they said to their people: “We are quit of you and what you serve besides God. We deny you, and become clear between us and you are enmity and hatred forever until you believe in God alone,” — save the saying of Abraham to his father: “I will ask forgiveness for thee, but I have no power for thee against God.” — “Our Lord: in Thee we place our trust; and to Thee have we turned; and to Thee is the journey’s end.

قَدْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ اُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ ف۪ٓي اِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَالَّذ۪ينَ مَعَهُۚ اِذْ قَالُوا لِقَوْمِهِمْ اِنَّا بُرَءٰٓؤُ۬ا مِنْكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۘ كَفَرْنَا بِكُمْ وَبَدَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةُ وَالْبَغْضَٓاءُ اَبَداً حَتّٰى تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَحْدَهُٓ اِلَّا قَوْلَ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ لِاَب۪يهِ لَاَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ وَمَٓا اَمْلِكُ لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍۜ رَبَّـنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَاِلَيْكَ اَنَبْنَا وَاِلَيْكَ الْمَص۪يرُ

“Our Lord: make Thou not us a means of denial for those who ignore warning; and forgive Thou us. Our Lord: thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”

رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَاۚ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

There was for you in them a good model for one who hopes for God and the Last Day. And whoso turns away: — God, He is the Free from Need, the Praiseworthy.

لَقَدْ كَانَ لَـكُمْ ف۪يهِمْ اُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوا اللّٰهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَۜ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَم۪يدُ۟

Laqad kana lakum feehim oswatun hasanatunliman kana yarjoo Allaha walyawma al-akhirawaman yatawalla fa-inna Allaha huwa alghanniyyu alhameed

It may be that God will put love between you and those of them with whom you have been enemies; and God is powerful; and God is forgiving and merciful.

عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذ۪ينَ عَادَيْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ مَوَدَّةًۜ وَاللّٰهُ قَد۪يرٌۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

AAasa Allahu an yajAAalabaynakum wabayna allatheena AAadaytum minhummawaddatan wallahu qadeerun wallahughafoorun raheem

God forbids you not — with those who have neither fought you in doctrine, nor turned you out of your homes — that you should be virtuous with them and equitable towards them; God loves the equitable.

لَا يَنْهٰيكُمُ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الَّذ۪ينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدّ۪ينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ اَنْ تَـبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُٓوا اِلَيْهِمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِط۪ينَ

La yanhakumu AllahuAAani allatheena lam yuqatilookum fee addeeniwalam yukhrijookum min diyarikum an tabarroohum watuqsitooilayhim inna Allaha yuhibbu almuqsiteen

God only forbids you as to those who have fought you in doctrine, and turned you out of your homes, and assisted in your expulsion, that you should take them as allies. And whoso takes them as allies — then those, it is they who are the wrongdoers.

اِنَّمَا يَنْهٰيكُمُ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الَّذ۪ينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدّ۪ينِ وَاَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلٰٓى اِخْرَاجِكُمْ اَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْۚ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

O you who heed warning: when the believing women come to you as émigrées: examine them. God best knows their faith. And if you know them to be believing women, then return them not to the atheists. Such women are not lawful for them, and they are not lawful for such women. And give them what they spent. And you do no wrong to marry such women when you give them their rewards. And hold not by tie denying women; and ask for what you have spent, and let them ask for what they have spent. That is the judgment of God; He judges between you; and God is knowing and wise.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِذَا جَٓاءَكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ فَامْتَحِنُوهُنَّۜ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِا۪يمَانِهِنَّۚ فَاِنْ عَلِمْتُمُوهُنَّ مُؤْمِنَاتٍ فَلَا تَرْجِعُوهُنَّ اِلَى الْكُفَّارِۜ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّۜ وَاٰتُوهُمْ مَٓا اَنْفَقُواۜ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ اَنْ تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ اِذَٓا اٰتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ اُجُورَهُنَّۜ وَلَا تُمْسِكُوا بِعِصَمِ الْكَوَافِرِ وَسْـَٔلُوا مَٓا اَنْفَقْتُمْ وَلْيَسْـَٔلُوا مَٓا اَنْفَقُواۜ ذٰلِكُمْ حُكْمُ اللّٰهِۜ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

And if any of your wives slip away from you to the atheists, then you are met with the same: give those whose wives have gone the like of what they spent; and be in prudent fear of God in whom you are believers.

وَاِنْ فَاتَكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ اَزْوَاجِكُمْ اِلَى الْـكُفَّارِ فَعَاقَبْتُمْ فَاٰتُوا الَّذ۪ينَ ذَهَبَتْ اَزْوَاجُهُمْ مِثْلَ مَٓا اَنْفَقُواۜ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْتُمْ بِه۪ مُؤْمِنُونَ

O Prophet: when the believing women come to thee, swearing fealty to thee: — that they will not ascribe a partnership with God to anything; and they will not steal; and they will not commit unlawful sexual intercourse; and they will not kill their children; and they will not produce a calumny they have invented between their hands and their feet; and they will not disobey thee in what is fitting; — then accept thou their fealty, and ask thou God to forgive them; God is forgiving and merciful.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اِذَا جَٓاءَكَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ لَا يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللّٰهِ شَيْـٔاً وَلَا يَسْرِقْنَ وَلَا يَزْن۪ينَ وَلَا يَقْتُلْنَ اَوْلَادَهُنَّ وَلَا يَأْت۪ينَ بِبُهْتَانٍ يَفْتَر۪ينَهُ بَيْنَ اَيْد۪يهِنَّ وَاَرْجُلِهِنَّ وَلَا يَعْص۪ينَكَ ف۪ي مَعْرُوفٍ فَبَايِعْهُنَّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُنَّ اللّٰهَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

O you who heed warning: take not as allies people with whom God is wroth; they have despaired of the Hereafter as the atheists have despaired of the companions of the graves.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا قَوْماً غَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ يَـئِسُوا مِنَ الْاٰخِرَةِ كَمَا يَـئِسَ الْكُفَّارُ مِنْ اَصْحَابِ الْقُبُورِ
