ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna pronounce zihar yuẓāhirūna among you minkum [from] min (to) their wives nisāihim not mā they hunna (are) their mothers ummahātihim Not in (are) their mothers ummahātuhum except illā those who allāī gave them birth waladnahum And indeed, they wa-innahum surely say layaqūlūna an evil munkaran [of] mina [the] word l-qawli and a lie wazūran But indeed wa-inna Allah l-laha (is) surely, Oft-Pardoning laʿafuwwun Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun
Those who pronounce ẓihār1 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, Allāh is Pardoning and Forgiving.
