(of) the (things they) desire -
you will be able to do justice
that not you (may) oppress.
And (prohibited are) the ones who are married
Allah would have them guard.
and set forth to them/ strike them.
And they seek your ruling
and the ones who are weak
And they seek your ruling
and the ones who are weak
and leave her (the other)
having no physical desire
lest should be moved with desire
There is no blame on you if ye make an offer of betrothal or hold it in your hearts. Allah knows that ye cherish them in your hearts: But do not make a secret contract with them except in terms Honourable, nor resolve on the tie of marriage till the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah Knoweth what is in your hearts, and take heed of Him; and know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).
If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.
And marry not women whom your fathers married,- except what is past: It was shameful and odious,- an abominable custom indeed.
Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess: Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property,- desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree Mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
They ask thy instruction concerning the women say: Allah doth instruct you about them: And (remember) what hath been rehearsed unto you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom ye give not the portions prescribed, and yet whom ye desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: that ye stand firm for justice to orphans. There is not a good deed which ye do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.

There is not a good deed which ye do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.
Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
"For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds."
And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.
Such elderly women as are past the prospect of marriage,- there is no blame on them if they lay aside their (outer) garments, provided they make not a wanton display of their beauty: but it is best for them to be modest: and Allah is One Who sees and knows all things.
Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!
O Consorts of the Prophet! Ye are not like any of the (other) women: if ye do fear (Allah), be not too complacent of speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak ye a speech (that is) just.
你们用含蓄的言词,向待婚的妇女求婚,或将你们的意思隐藏在心里,对於你们都是毫无罪过的。真主已知道你们不久要向她们提及婚约,(故准你们对她们有所表示),但不要与她们订密约,只可说合理的话;不要缔结婚约,直到守制满期。你们当晓得真主知道你们的心事,故你们当防备他;并当知道真主是至赦的,是至容的。
迷惑世人的,是令人爱好的事物,如妻子,儿女,金银,宝藏,骏马,牲畜,禾稼等。这些是今世生活的享受;而真主那里,却有优美的归宿。
如果你们恐怕不能公平对待孤儿,那末,你们可以择你们爱悦的女人, 各娶两妻、三妻、四妻;如果你们恐怕不能公平地待遇她们,那末,你们只可以各娶一妻,或以你们的女奴为满足。这是更近于公平的。
你们不要娶你们的父亲娶过的妇女,但已往的不受惩罚。这确是一件丑事,确是一件可恨的行为,这种习俗真恶劣!
(他又严禁你们娶)有丈夫的妇女,但你们所管辖的妇女除外;真主以此为你们的定制。除此以外,一切妇女,对于你们是合法的,你们可以借自己的财产而谋与妇女结合,但你们应当是贞节的,不可是淫荡的。既与你们成婚的妇女,你们应当把已决定的聘仪交给她们。既决定聘仪之后,你们双方同意的事,对于你们是毫无罪过的。真主确是全知的,确是至睿的。
男人是维护妇女的,因为真主使他们比她们更优越,又因为他们所费的财产。贤淑的女子是服从的,是借真主的保佑而保守隐微的。你们怕她们执拗的妇女,你们可以劝戒她们,可以和她们同床异被,可以打她们。如果她们服从你们,那末,你们不要再想法欺负她们。真主确是至尊的,确是至大的。
他们请求你解释关于女子的律例,你说:“真主将为你们解释关于她们的律例,此经中常对你们宣读的明文内,(有若干律例),有关于你们既不愿交付其应得的遗产,又不愿娶以为妻的孤女的,有关于被人欺负的儿童的,有教你们公平地照管孤儿的。无论你们所行的是什么善事,真主确是全知的。

即使你们贪爱公平,你们也绝不能公平地待遇众妻;但你们不要完全偏向所爱的,而使被疏远的,如悬空中。如果你们加以和解,而且防备虐待,那末,真主确是至赦的,确是至慈的。
你们一定要舍妇女而以男人满足性欲,你们确是过分的民众。”
你对信女们说,叫她们降低视线,遮蔽下身,莫露出首饰, 除非自然露出的,叫她们用面纱遮住胸膛,末露出首饰,除非对她们的丈夫,或她们的父亲,或她们的丈夫的父亲,或她们的儿子,或她们的丈夫的儿子,或她们的兄弟,或她们弟兄的儿子,或她们姐妹的儿子,或她们的女仆,或她们的奴婢,或无性欲的男仆,或不懂妇女之事的儿童;叫她们不要用力踏足,使人得知她们所隐藏的首饰。信士们啊!你们应全体向真主悔罪,以便你们成功。
不希望结婚的老妇,脱去外衣,而不露出首饰,这对于她们是无罪过的。 自己检点,对她们是更好的。真主是全聪的,是全知的。
你们务必要舍女人而以男人满足性欲吗?不然,你们是无知识的民众。”
先知的妻子们啊!你们不象别的任何妇女,如果你们敬畏真主,就不要说温柔的话,以免心中有病的人,贪恋你们;你们应当说庄重的话。
