66. At-Tahrīm

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
1.	O Prophet! Why do you ban (for yourself) that which Allāh has made lawful to you, seeking to please your wives? And Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
2.	Allāh has already ordained for you (O men), the dissolution of your oaths. And Allāh is your Maula (Lord, or Master, or Protector, etc.) and He is the All-Knower, the All-Wise.
3.	And (remember) when the Prophet (`SAW`) disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives (Hafsah), so when she told it (to another i.e. 'Aishah), and Allāh made it known to him, he informed part thereof and left a part. Then when he told her (Hafsah) thereof, she said: "Who told you this?" He said: "The All-Knower, the All-Aware (Allāh) has told me".
4.	If you two (wives of the Prophet `SAW`, namely 'Aishah and Hafsah `radhiallahu'anhu`< >) turn in repentance to Allāh, (it will be better for you), your hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet `SAW` likes), but if you help one another against him (Muhammad `SAW`), then verily, Allāh is his Maula (Lord, or Master, or Protector, etc.), and Jibrael (Gabriel), and the righteous among the believers, and furthermore, the angels are his helpers.
5.	It may be if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you, Muslims (who submit to Allāh), believers, obedient to Allāh, turning to Allāh in repentance, worshipping Allāh sincerely, fasting or emigrants (for Allāh's sake), previously married and virgins.
6.	O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allāh, but do that which they are commanded.
7.	(It will be said in the Hereafter) O you who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allāh - Islāmic Monotheism)! Make no excuses this Day! You are being requited only for what you used to do^[] .
8.	O you who believe! Turn to Allāh with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) the Day that Allāh will not disgrace the Prophet (Muhammad `SAW`) and those who believe with him, their Light will run forward before them and with (their Records Books of deeds) in their right hands they will say: "Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us [and do not put it off till we cross over the Sirāt (a slippery bridge over the Hell) safely] and grant us forgiveness. Verily, You are Able to do all things^[] ."
9.	O Prophet (Muhammad `SAW`)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be severe against them, their abode will be Hell, and worst indeed is that destination.^[]
10.	Allāh sets forth an example for those who disbelieve, the wife of Nūh (Noah) and the wife of Lout (Lot). They were under two of our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed their (husbands by rejecting their doctrine) so they [Nūh (Noah) and Lout (Lot) < >< >< >] benefited them (their respective wives) not, against Allāh, and it was said: "Enter the Fire along with those who enter!"
11.	And Allāh has set forth an example for those who believe, the wife of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), when she said: "My Lord! Build for me a home with You in Paradise, and save me from Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his work, and save me from the people who are Zālimūn (polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers in Allāh).
12.	And Maryam (Mary), the daughter of 'Imrān who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (the sleeve of her shirt or her garment) through Our Rūh [i.e. Jibrael (Gabriel)^[]], and she testified to the truth of the Words of her Lord [i.e. believed in the Words of Allāh: "Be!" and he was; that is 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary); as a Messenger of Allāh], and (also believed in) His Scriptures, and she was of the Qanitīn (i.e. obedient to Allāh)^[].
