سورة An-Nisaa
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
O
ٱلنَّاسُ
mankind!
ٱتَّقُوا۟
Fear
رَبَّكُمُ
your Lord
ٱلَّذِى
the One Who
خَلَقَكُم
created you
مِّن
from
نَّفْسٍ
a soul
وَٰحِدَةٍ
single
وَخَلَقَ
and created
مِنْهَا
from it
زَوْجَهَا its mate وَبَثَّ and dispersed مِنْهُمَا from both of them رِجَالًا men كَثِيرًا many وَنِسَآءً and women. وَٱتَّقُوا۟ And fear ٱللَّهَ Allah ٱلَّذِى (through) Whom تَسَآءَلُونَ you ask
بِهِۦ [with it] وَٱلْأَرْحَامَ and the wombs. إِنَّ Indeed, ٱللَّهَ Allah كَانَ is عَلَيْكُمْ over you رَقِيبًا Ever-Watchful. وَءَاتُوا۟ And give ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰٓ (to) the orphans أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ their wealth,
وَلَا and (do) not تَتَبَدَّلُوا۟ exchange ٱلْخَبِيثَ the bad بِٱلطَّيِّبِ with the good, وَلَا and (do) not تَأْكُلُوٓا۟ consume أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ their wealth إِلَىٰٓ with أَمْوَٰلِكُمْ your wealth. إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, it
كَانَ is حُوبًا a sin كَبِيرًا great. وَإِنْ And if خِفْتُمْ you fear أَلَّا that not تُقْسِطُوا۟ you will be able to do justice فِى with ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ the orphans, فَٱنكِحُوا۟ then marry
مَا what طَابَ seems suitable لَكُم to you مِّنَ from ٱلنِّسَآءِ the women مَثْنَىٰ two, وَثُلَٰثَ or three, وَرُبَٰعَ or four. فَإِنْ But if خِفْتُمْ you fear أَلَّا that not تَعْدِلُوا۟ you can do justice
فَوَٰحِدَةً then (marry) one أَوْ or مَا what مَلَكَتْ possesses أَيْمَٰنُكُمْ your right hand. ذَٰلِكَ That أَدْنَىٰٓ (is) more appropriate أَلَّا that (may) not تَعُولُوا۟ you oppress. وَءَاتُوا۟ And give
ٱلنِّسَآءَ the women صَدُقَٰتِهِنَّ their dower نِحْلَةً graciously. فَإِن But if طِبْنَ they remit لَكُمْ to you عَن of شَىْءٍ anything مِّنْهُ of it نَفْسًا (on their) own, فَكُلُوهُ then eat it
هَنِيٓـًٔا (in) satisfaction مَّرِيٓـًٔا (and) ease. وَلَا And (do) not تُؤْتُوا۟ give ٱلسُّفَهَآءَ the foolish أَمْوَٰلَكُمُ your wealth ٱلَّتِى which جَعَلَ (was) made ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah لَكُمْ for you
قِيَٰمًا a means of support وَٱرْزُقُوهُمْ (but) provide (for) them فِيهَا with it وَٱكْسُوهُمْ and clothe them وَقُولُوا۟ and speak لَهُمْ to them قَوْلًا words مَّعْرُوفًا (of) kindness. وَٱبْتَلُوا۟ And test
ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ the orphans حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا [when] بَلَغُوا۟ they reach[ed] ٱلنِّكَاحَ (the age of) marriage, فَإِنْ then if ءَانَسْتُم you perceive مِّنْهُمْ in them رُشْدًا sound judgement فَٱدْفَعُوٓا۟ then deliver
إِلَيْهِمْ to them أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ their wealth. وَلَا And (do) not تَأْكُلُوهَآ eat it إِسْرَافًا extravagantly وَبِدَارًا and hastily أَن (fearing) that يَكْبَرُوا۟ they will grow up. وَمَن And whoever كَانَ is
غَنِيًّا rich فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ then he should refrain, وَمَن and whoever كَانَ is فَقِيرًا poor فَلْيَأْكُلْ then let him eat (of it) بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ in a fair manner. فَإِذَا Then when
دَفَعْتُمْ you deliver إِلَيْهِمْ to them أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ their wealth فَأَشْهِدُوا۟ then take witnesses عَلَيْهِمْ on them. وَكَفَىٰ And is sufficient بِٱللَّهِ Allah حَسِيبًا (as) a Reckoner.
