سورة التحريم

66. Surah At-Tahrim
The Prohibition

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

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

O Prophet: why makest thou unlawful what God has made lawful for thee, seeking the approval of thy wives? And God is forgiving and merciful.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَٓا اَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ لَكَۚ تَبْتَغ۪ي مَرْضَاتَ اَزْوَاجِكَۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Ya ayyuha annabiyyulima tuharrimu ma ahalla Allahu lakatabtaghee mardata azwajika wallahughafoorun raheem

God has ordained for you the absolution of your oaths. And God is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise.

قَدْ فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ لَـكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ اَيْمَانِكُمْۚ وَاللّٰهُ مَوْلٰيكُمْۚ وَهُوَ الْعَل۪يمُ الْحَك۪يمُ

Qad farada Allahu lakum tahillataaymanikum wallahu mawlakum wahuwaalAAaleemu alhakeem

And when the Prophet confided a statement to one of his wives; and when she told of it, and God made it known to him, he made known part of it, and turned aside from part. And when he informed her about it, she said: “Who told thee this?” He said: “There told me the knowing, the aware.”

وَاِذْ اَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ اِلٰى بَعْضِ اَزْوَاجِه۪ حَد۪يثاًۚ فَلَمَّا نَبَّاَتْ بِه۪ وَاَظْهَرَهُ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ عَرَّفَ بَعْضَهُ وَاَعْرَضَ عَنْ بَعْضٍۚ فَلَمَّا نَبَّاَهَا بِه۪ قَالَتْ مَنْ اَنْبَاَكَ هٰذَاۜ قَالَ نَبَّاَنِيَ الْعَل۪يمُ الْخَب۪يرُ

Wa-ith asarra annabiyyu ilabaAAdi azwajihi hadeethan falammanabbaat bihi waathharahu Allahu AAalayhiAAarrafa baAAdahu waaAArada AAan baAAdinfalamma nabbaaha bihi qalat man anbaaka hathaqala nabbaaniya alAAaleemu alkhabeer

If you twain repent to God, then have your hearts inclined. But if you assist one another against him, then God is his protector, and Gabriel, and the righteous of the believers and, moreover, the angels are helpers.

اِنْ تَتُوبَٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُمَاۚ وَاِنْ تَظَاهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ مَوْلٰيهُ وَجِبْر۪يلُ وَصَالِـحُ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَۚ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ ظَه۪يرٌ

In tatooba ila Allahifaqad saghat quloobukuma wa-in tathaharaAAalayhi fa-inna Allaha huwa mawlahu wajibreelu wasalihualmu/mineena walmala-ikatu baAAda thalika thaheer

It may be that his Lord — if he divorces you — will give him in exchange wives better than you: women submitted, believing, humbly obedient, penitent, serving, journeying, previously married, and virgins.

عَسٰى رَبُّهُٓ اِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ اَنْ يُبْدِلَهُٓ اَزْوَاجاً خَيْراً مِنْكُنَّ مُسْلِمَاتٍ مُؤْمِنَاتٍ قَانِتَاتٍ تَٓائِبَاتٍ عَابِدَاتٍ سَٓائِحَاتٍ ثَيِّبَاتٍ وَاَبْكَاراً

AAasa rabbuhu in tallaqakunnaan yubdilahu azwajan khayran minkunna muslimatinmu/minatin qanitatin ta-ibatinAAabidatin sa-ihatin thayyibatinwaabkara

O you who heed warning: protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are angels stern and severe; they do not oppose God in what He has commanded them but do what they are commanded.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا قُٓوا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَاَهْل۪يكُمْ نَاراً وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلٰٓئِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَا يَعْصُونَ اللّٰهَ مَٓا اَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooqoo anfusakum waahleekum naran waqooduha annasuwalhijaratu AAalayha mala-ikatunghilathun shidadun la yaAAsoonaAllaha ma amarahum wayafAAaloona mayu/maroon

“O you who ignore warning: make no excuses this day; you are but being rewarded for what you did!”

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا الْيَوْمَۜ اِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ۟

Ya ayyuha allatheenakafaroo la taAAtathiroo alyawma innamatujzawna ma kuntum taAAmaloon

O you who heed warning: turn to God in sincere repentance. It may be that your Lord will remove from you your evil deeds, and make you enter gardens beneath which rivers flow. The day God will not disgrace the Prophet and those who heed warning with him, their light running before them and on their right hand, they will say: “Our Lord: perfect Thou for us our light, and forgive Thou us; Thou art over all things powerful.”

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا تُوبُٓوا اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاًۜ عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يُكَفِّرَ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۙ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِي اللّٰهُ النَّبِيَّ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مَعَهُۚ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعٰى بَيْنَ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَبِاَيْمَانِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّـنَٓا اَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُورَنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَاۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

O Prophet: strive thou against the atheists and the waverers, and be thou stern with them. And their shelter is Gehenna; and evil is the journey’s end.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنَافِق۪ينَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْۜ وَمَأْوٰيهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۜ وَبِئْسَ الْمَص۪يرُ

God has struck a similitude for those who ignore warning: — the wife of Noah, and the wife of Lot: they were under two of Our righteous servants, but they betrayed them; and they availed them nothing against God, and it was said: “Enter, you twain, the Fire with those who enter.”

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلاً لِلَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا امْرَاَتَ نُوحٍ وَامْرَاَتَ لُوطٍۜ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـٔاً وَق۪يلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدَّاخِل۪ينَ

And God has struck a similitude for those who heed warning: — the wife of Pharaoh, when she said: “My Lord: build Thou for me a house with Thee in the Garden, and deliver Thou me from Pharaoh and his deeds, and deliver Thou me from the wrongdoing people.”

وَضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلاً لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا امْرَاَتَ فِرْعَوْنَۢ اِذْ قَالَتْ رَبِّ ابْنِ ل۪ي عِنْدَكَ بَيْتاً فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَنَجِّن۪ي مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِه۪ وَنَجِّن۪ي مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِم۪ينَۙ

— And Mary, daughter of ʿImrān, who guarded her chastity, and We breathed into it of Our Spirit, and she confirmed the words of her Lord, and His Writs, and was of the humbly obedient.

وَمَرْيَمَ ابْنَتَ عِمْرٰنَ الَّت۪ٓي اَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا ف۪يهِ مِنْ رُوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِه۪ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْقَانِت۪ينَ
