in the (matter of) the murdered,
And the women who are divorced
(according to what is) reasonable,
to ask another women to suckle
to ask another women to suckle
(the widows) should wait for themselves
And make provision for them -
according to this means -
And for the divorced women,
(are) the successful ones.
are [the] defiantly disobedient.
those who commit immorality
Allah will have mercy on them.
Those who turn in repentance,
the matters requiring determination.
O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty.
It is prescribed, when death approaches any of you, if he leave any goods that he make a bequest to parents and next of kin, according to reasonable usage; this is due from the Allah-fearing.
Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their ('Iddat), do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands, if they mutually agree on equitable terms. This instruction is for all amongst you, who believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is (the course Making for) most virtue and purity amongst you and Allah knows, and ye know not.
The mothers shall give such to their offspring for two whole years, if the father desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be Treated unfairly on account of her child. Nor father on account of his child, an heir shall be chargeable in the same way. If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no blame on them. If ye decide on a foster-mother for your offspring, there is no blame on you, provided ye pay (the mother) what ye offered, on equitable terms. But fear Allah and know that Allah sees well what ye do.

If any of you die and leave widows behind, they shall wait concerning themselves four months and ten days: When they have fulfilled their term, there is no blame on you if they dispose of themselves in a just and reasonable manner. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do.
There is no blame on you if ye divorce women before consummation or the fixation of their dower; but bestow on them (A suitable gift), the wealthy according to his means, and the poor according to his means;- A gift of a reasonable amount is due from those who wish to do the right thing.
For divorced women Maintenance (should be provided) on a reasonable (scale). This is a duty on the righteous.
Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.
Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.
They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.
Make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; if then ye find sound judgment in them, release their property to them; but consume it not wastefully, nor in haste against their growing up. If the guardian is well-off, Let him claim no remuneration, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable. When ye release their property to them, take witnesses in their presence: But all-sufficient is Allah in taking account.
O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good.
If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when they are taken in wedlock, if they fall into shame, their punishment is half that for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it is better for you that ye practise self-restraint. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
"Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper."
The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.
Those that turn (to Allah) in repentance; that serve Him, and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the cause of Allah,: that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limit set by Allah;- (These do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers.
(They are) those who, if We establish them in the land, establish regular prayer and give regular charity, enjoin the right and forbid wrong: with Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs.
"O my son! establish regular prayer, enjoin what is just, and forbid what is wrong: and bear with patient constancy whatever betide thee; for this is firmness (of purpose) in (the conduct of) affairs.
信道的人们啊!今以杀人者抵罪为你们的定制,公民抵偿公民,奴隶抵偿奴隶,妇女抵偿妇女。如果尸亲有所宽赦,那末,一方应依例提出要求,一方应依礼给予赔偿,这是你们的主所降示的减轻和慈恩。事後,过分的人,将受痛苦的刑罚。
你们当中,若有人在临死的时候,还有遗产,那末,应当为双亲和至亲而秉公遗嘱。这已成你们的定制,这是敬畏者应尽的义务。
被休的妇人,当期待三次月经;她们不得隐讳真主造化在她们的子宫里的东西,如果她们确信真主和末日。在等待的期间,她们的丈夫是宜当挽留她们的,如果他们愿意重修旧好。她们应享合理的权利,也应尽合理的义务;男人的权利,比她们高一级。真主是万能的,是至睿的。
如果你们休妻,而她们待婚期满,那末,当她们与人依礼而互相同意的时候,你们不要阻止她们嫁给她们的丈夫。这是用来规劝你们中确信真主和後世的人的。这对於你们是更有益的,是更纯洁的。真主知道,你们却不知道。
做母亲的,应当替欲哺满乳期的人,哺乳自己的婴儿两周岁。做父亲的,应当照例供给她们的衣食。每个人只依他的能力而受责成。不要使做母亲的为自己的婴儿而吃亏,也不要使做父亲的为自己的婴儿而吃亏。(如果做父亲的死了),继承人应负同样的责任。如果做父母的欲依协议而断乳,那末,他们俩毫无罪过。如果你们另顾乳母哺乳你们的婴儿,那末,你们毫无罪过,但须交付照例应给的工资。你们当敬畏真主,当知道真主是明察你们的行为的。

你们中弃世而遗留妻子的人,他们的妻子当期待四个月零十日;待婚满期的时候,她们关於自身的合理的行为,对於你们毫无罪过。真主对於你们的行为是彻知的。
你们的妻子,在你们未与她们交接,也未为她们决定聘仪的期间,如果你们休了她们,那对於你们是毫无罪过的,但须以离仪赠与她们;离仪的厚薄,当斟酌丈夫的贫富,依例而赠与;这是善人所应尽的义务。
凡被休的妇女,都应得一份照例的离仪,这是敬畏的人应尽的义务。
你们中当有一部分人,导人于至善,并劝善戒恶;这等人,确是成功的。
你们是为世人而被产生的最优秀的民族,你们劝善戒恶,确信真主。假若信奉天经的人确信正道,那对于他们是更好的。他们中有一部分是信士,大部分是罪人。
他们确信真主和末日,他们劝善戒恶,争先行善;这等人是善人。
你们当试验孤儿,直到他们达到适婚年龄;当你们看见他们能处理财产的时候,应当把他们的财产交还他们;不要在他们还没有长大的时候,赶快浪费地消耗他们的财产。富裕的监护人,应当廉洁自持;贫穷的监护人,可以取合理的生活费。 你们把他们的财产交还他们的时候,应当请人作见证。真主足为监察者。
信道的人们啊!你们不得强占妇女,当作遗产,也不得压迫她们,以便你们收回你们所给她们的一部分聘仪,除非她们作了明显的丑事。你们当善待她们。如果你们厌恶她们,(那末,你们应当忍受她们),因为,或许你们厌恶一件事,而真主在那件事中安置下许多福利。
你们当中在能力方面谁不能娶信道的自由女,谁可以娶友所管辖的信道的奴婢。真主是知道你们的信仰的。你们彼此是同教的,故你们取得她们的主人的许可后,可娶她们为妻室,你们应当把她们的聘仪照例交给她们,但她们应当是贞节的,不可是淫荡的,也不可是有情人的。她们既婚之后,如果作了丑事,那末,她们应受自由女所应受的刑罚的一半。这是特许你们中恐陷于奸淫的人规定的。你们能坚忍,那对于你们是更好的。真主是至赦的,是至慈的。
他们顺从使者--不识字的先知,他们在自己所有的《讨拉特》和《引支勒》中发现关于他的记载。他命令他们行善,禁止他们作恶,准许他们吃佳美的食物,禁戒他们吃污秽的食物,卸脱他们的重担,解除他们的桎梏,故凡信仰他,尊重他,援助他,而且遵循与他一起降临的光明的人,都是成功者。
信道的男女互为保护人,他们劝善戒恶,谨守拜功,完纳天课,服从真主及其使者,这等人真主将怜悯他们。真主确是万能的,确是至睿的。
他们是忏悔的,是拜主的,是赞主的,是斋戒的,是鞠躬的,是叩头的,是劝善的,是戒恶的,是遵守主的法度的;你要向信道的人们报喜。
如果我使那些人在地面上得势,他们将谨守拜功,完纳天课,劝善戒恶。 万事的结局只归真主。
我的小子啊!你应当谨守拜功,应当劝善戒恶,应当忍受患难,这确是应该决心做的事情。
