هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُمۡ فَمِنكُمۡ كَافِرٞ وَمِنكُم مُّؤۡمِنٞۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ 2

2 Allah created you (and it was expected that everyone would be a believer due to His Favour). So some of you are believers and others are disbelievers. And Allah is All-Seer of what you do (and He will reward or punish you accordingly).

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمۡ فَأَحۡسَنَ صُوَرَكُمۡۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ 3

3 He has created the heavens and the earth with wisdom and He fashioned your shape and made your shape the best (e.g. the parts of human body are the most proportionate as compared with any other creature). And to Him is the final return. (Also see Surah Al-Infitar:6-8)

يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُونَۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ 4

4 He knows what is in the heavens and the earth and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal. And Allah is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts of the people.

أَلَمۡ يَأۡتِكُمۡ نَبَؤُاْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ فَذَاقُواْ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهِمۡ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ 5

5 Has not the news reached you of those who disbelieved before you? They tasted the punishment of their (evil) deeds (in this world). And there will be a painful torment for them (in the Hereafter).

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُۥ كَانَت تَّأۡتِيهِمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَقَالُوٓاْ أَبَشَرٞ يَهۡدُونَنَا فَكَفَرُواْ وَتَوَلَّواْۖ وَّٱسۡتَغۡنَى ٱللَّهُۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٞ 6

6 That was because, their mes-sengers came to them with clear proofs, so they said: “Shall a mere human being guide us? (i.e. can a human being become a mes-senger?).” So they disbelieved and turned away (from the truth). And Allah did not care for them too (and de-prived them of His Mercy). And Allah is All-Rich (free of all needs), Worthy of all Praise.

زَعَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَن لَّن يُبۡعَثُواْۚ قُلۡ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّي لَتُبۡعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلۡتُمۡۚ وَذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٞ 7

7 The disbelievers think that they will never be resurrected (for the accountability). [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say: “Yes indeed. By my Creator, you will certainly be resur-rected, then you will be informed of what you did, and that  is very easy for Allah.”

فَ‍َٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلنُّورِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلۡنَاۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ 8

8 So, believe in Allah and His Messenger [Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] and in the light (this Quran) which We have sent. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do (openly or secretly).

يَوۡمَ يَجۡمَعُكُمۡ لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡجَمۡعِۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلتَّغَابُنِۗ وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ وَيَعۡمَلۡ صَٰلِحٗا يُكَفِّرۡ عَنۡهُ سَيِّ‍َٔاتِهِۦ وَيُدۡخِلۡهُ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ 9

9 (Bear in mind) the Day when He will gather you all on the Day of Gathering – that will be the Day of mutual loss and gain. And whosoever believes in Allah and does good deeds, Allah will forgive his sins and will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow to reside there forever. That will be a great success.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ 10

10 And those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations, they will be the residents of Hell-Fire, to reside there forever. And it is a very bad destination.

مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهۡدِ قَلۡبَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ 11

11 No adversity comes except with the Permission of Allah, and whosoever (firmly) believes in Allah, He guides his heart (towards patience and contentment). And Allah is All-Knower of everything.

وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ 12

12 And obey Allah (in all matters) and obey His Messenger, but if you turn away (from obedience), then the duty of Our Messenger is only to convey (the message) clearly.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ 13

13 Allah! None has the right to be worshipped but Him, and believers should put their trust in Allah Alone.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ مِنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُمۡ وَأَوۡلَٰدِكُمۡ عَدُوّٗا لَّكُمۡ فَٱحۡذَرُوهُمۡۚ وَإِن تَعۡفُواْ وَتَصۡفَحُواْ وَتَغۡفِرُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ 14

14 O you who believe! Indeed, some of your wives and children are your enemies (since they may stop you from the obedience of Allah). Hence, beware of them! But if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive (their faults), then, indeed, Allah is Very-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

إِنَّمَآ أَمۡوَٰلُكُمۡ وَأَوۡلَٰدُكُمۡ فِتۡنَةٞۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٞ 15

15 Indeed, your wealth and your children are a trial for you (to test excessive indulgence in them). And there is a great reward with Allah (for those who obey Him).

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ وَٱسۡمَعُواْ وَأَطِيعُواْ وَأَنفِقُواْ خَيۡرٗا لِّأَنفُسِكُمۡۗ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفۡسِهِۦ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ 16

16 So fear (and obey) Allah to your best ability! Listen (attentively) and obey (His Commands) and do spend (in charity), that is beneficial for you. And whosoever is saved from the greed of his inner self, then they are the successful.

إِن تُقۡرِضُواْ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗا يُضَٰعِفۡهُ لَكُمۡ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ شَكُورٌ حَلِيمٌ 17

17 If you give Allah a sincere loan, He will go on increasing your reward for you and will forgive (your sins too). And Allah is Highly Appreciative, Most Forbearing.

عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ 18

18 All Knower of the unseen and seen, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحۡصُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡۖ لَا تُخۡرِجُوهُنَّ مِنۢ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخۡرُجۡنَ إِلَّآ أَن يَأۡتِينَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ مُّبَيِّنَةٖۚ وَتِلۡكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ ظَلَمَ نَفۡسَهُۥۚ لَا تَدۡرِي لَعَلَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحۡدِثُ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ أَمۡرٗا 1

1 O Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)! When you di-vorce women, divorce them (during the beginning of) their prescribed periods (when they are in clean state) and count their periods accurately. And fear Allah, your Creator. And don’t expel them from your homes, and the wives are also not permitted to leave their (husband’s) homes. (And do not expel them) ex-cept in case they are guilty of some obscene activity openly (i.e. adul-tery or bad manners). These are the limits set by Allah. And whosoever transgresses the set limits of Allah, then he has, indeed, wronged him-self. You (i.e. the one who divorces his wife) do not know that after this Allah may create a new idea (in your heart and return her back to you if that was the first or second divorce).

فَإِذَا بَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمۡسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٖ وَأَشۡهِدُواْ ذَوَيۡ عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلشَّهَٰدَةَ لِلَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ يُوعَظُ بِهِۦ مَن كَانَ يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مَخۡرَجٗا 2

2 So when they are about to complete their prescribed period, either keep them (as your wives) in a good manner or part with them in a good manner. And make two just persons among you as witnesses. And witness to please Allah alone (without leaning to any side unfairly). This advice is for those who believe in Allah and in the Hereafter. And whosoever fears Allah, He brings him out (from every difficulty and trial).

وَيَرۡزُقۡهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَحۡتَسِبُۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسۡبُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَٰلِغُ أَمۡرِهِۦۚ قَدۡ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدۡرٗا 3

3 And Allah will grant him provision from (sources) beyond his imagination. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah will be sufficient for him (to tackle all the difficulties). Allah will accomplish His purpose (what He wills). Indeed, Allah has a fixed measure for everything.
