It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom, and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."

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).

So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts, (to last) till the Day, whereon they shall meet Him: because they broke their covenant with Allah, and because they lied (again and again).

Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our messengers: but soon shall they know,-

"That was because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent.

And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (It will be said to them): "Ye received your good things in the life of the world, and ye took your pleasure out of them: but today shall ye be recompensed with a Penalty of humiliation: for that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that ye (ever) transgressed."

一个人既蒙真主赏赐经典，智慧和预言，他不至对世人说：“你们做我的奴仆，不要做真主的奴仆。”但（他必说）：“你们当做崇拜造物主的人，因为你们教授天经，诵习天经。”

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。

故真主使他们心中常怀伪信，直到见主之日，因为他们对真主爽约，而且常撒谎。

他们否认天经，否认我降示众使者的迹象，他们不久会知道（后果的）。

那是因为你们在地方上不该欢喜而欢喜，也是因为你们太得意了。

不信道的人们遭受火刑之日，或者将对他们说：“你们在尘世生活中，已将你们的福分消尽享完；今日你们应受凌辱的刑罚，因为你们曾在地方上妄自尊大，也因为你们曾经犯罪。”
