لَقَدْ Certainly laqad (there) is kāna for you lakum in them fīhim an example us'watun good ḥasanatun for (he) who liman is kāna hopeful yarjū (in) Allah l-laha and the Day wal-yawma the Last l-ākhira And whoever waman turns away yatawalla then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha He huwa (is) Free of need l-ghaniyu the Praiseworthy l-ḥamīdu
There has certainly been for you in them an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allāh and the Last Day. And whoever turns away - then indeed, Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.
۞ عَسَى Perhaps ʿasā Allah l-lahu [that] an will put yajʿala between you baynakum and between wabayna those (to) whom alladhīna you have been enemies ʿādaytum among them min'hum love mawaddatan And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Powerful qadīrun And Allah wal-lahu (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
Perhaps Allāh will put, between you and those to whom you have been enemies among them, affection. And Allāh is competent,1 and Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
لَّا Not lā (does) forbid you yanhākumu Allah l-lahu from ʿani those who alladhīna (do) not lam fight you yuqātilūkum in fī the religion l-dīni and (do) not walam drive you out yukh'rijūkum of min your homes diyārikum that an you deal kindly tabarrūhum and deal justly watuq'siṭū with them ilayhim Indeed inna Allah l-laha loves yuḥibbu those who act justly l-muq'siṭīna
Allāh does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.
إِنَّمَا Only innamā forbids you yanhākumu Allah l-lahu from ʿani those who alladhīna fight you qātalūkum in fī the religion l-dīni and drive you out wa-akhrajūkum of min your homes diyārikum and support waẓāharū in ʿalā your expulsion ikh'rājikum that an you make them allies tawallawhum And whoever waman makes them allies yatawallahum then those fa-ulāika [they] humu (are) the wrongdoers l-ẓālimūna
Allāh only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies1 of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū When idhā come to you jāakumu the believing women l-mu'minātu (as) emigrants muhājirātin then examine them fa-im'taḥinūhunna Allah l-lahu (is) most knowing aʿlamu of their faith biīmānihinna And if fa-in you know them ʿalim'tumūhunna (to be) believers mu'minātin then (do) not falā return them tarjiʿūhunna to ilā the disbelievers l-kufāri Not lā they hunna (are) lawful ḥillun for them lahum and not walā they hum are lawful yaḥillūna for them lahunna But give them waātūhum what mā they have spent anfaqū And not walā any blame junāḥa upon you ʿalaykum if an you marry them tankiḥūhunna when idhā you have given them ātaytumūhunna their (bridal) dues ujūrahunna And (do) not walā hold tum'sikū to marriage bonds biʿiṣami (with) disbelieving women l-kawāfiri but ask (for) wasalū what mā you have spent anfaqtum and let them ask walyasalū what mā they have spent anfaqū That dhālikum (is the) Judgment ḥuk'mu (of) Allah l-lahi He judges yaḥkumu between you baynakum And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Knowing ʿalīmun All-Wise ḥakīmun
O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine [i.e., test] them. Allāh is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them. But give them [i.e., the disbelievers] what they have spent.1 And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation [i.e., mahr]. And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let them [i.e., the disbelievers] ask for what they have spent.2 That is the judgement of Allāh; He judges between you. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
وَإِن And if wa-in have gone from you fātakum any shayon of min your wives azwājikum to ilā the disbelievers l-kufāri then your turn comes faʿāqabtum then give faātū (to) those who alladhīna have gone dhahabat their wives azwājuhum (the) like mith'la (of) what mā they had spent anfaqū And fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha (in) Whom alladhī you antum [in Him] bihi (are) believers mu'minūna
And if you have lost any of your wives to the disbelievers and you subsequently obtain [something],1 then give those whose wives have gone the equivalent of what they had spent. And fear Allāh, in whom you are believers.
