58. Surah Al-Mujadila

The Pleading Woman · Madani · 22 Ayahs

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

قَدْ Indeed سَمِعَ Allah has heard ٱللَّهُ Allah has heard قَوْلَ (the) speech ٱلَّتِى (of one) who تُجَـٰدِلُكَ disputes with you فِى concerning زَوْجِهَا her husband وَتَشْتَكِىٓ and she directs her complaint إِلَى to ٱللَّهِ Allah وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يَسْمَعُ hears تَحَاوُرَكُمَآ ۚ (the) dialogue of both of you إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah سَمِيعٌۢ (is) All-Hearer بَصِيرٌ All-Seer ١

Certainly has Allāh heard the speech of the one who argues [i.e., pleads] with you, [O Muḥammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allāh. And Allāh hears your dialogue; indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يُظَـٰهِرُونَ pronounce zihar مِنكُم among you مِّن [from] نِّسَآئِهِم (to) their wives مَّا not هُنَّ they أُمَّهَـٰتِهِمْ ۖ (are) their mothers إِنْ Not أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمْ (are) their mothers إِلَّا except ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى those who وَلَدْنَهُمْ ۚ gave them birth وَإِنَّهُمْ And indeed, they لَيَقُولُونَ surely say مُنكَرًۭا an evil مِّنَ [of] ٱلْقَوْلِ [the] word وَزُورًۭا ۚ and a lie وَإِنَّ But indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَعَفُوٌّ (is) surely, Oft-Pardoning غَفُورٌۭ Oft-Forgiving ٢

Those who pronounce ẓihār among you [to separate] from their wives - they are not [consequently] their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. And indeed, they are saying an objectionable statement and a falsehood. But indeed, Allāh is Pardoning and Forgiving.

وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who يُظَـٰهِرُونَ pronounce zihar مِن [from] نِّسَآئِهِمْ (to) their wives ثُمَّ then يَعُودُونَ go back لِمَا on what قَالُوا۟ they said فَتَحْرِيرُ then freeing رَقَبَةٍۢ (of) a slave مِّن before قَبْلِ before أَن [that] يَتَمَآسَّا ۚ they touch each other ذَٰلِكُمْ That تُوعَظُونَ you are admonished بِهِۦ ۚ to it وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِمَا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do خَبِيرٌۭ (is) All-Aware ٣

And those who pronounce ẓihār from their wives and then [wish to] go back on what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allāh is Aware of what you do.

فَمَن Then whoever لَّمْ (does) not يَجِدْ find فَصِيَامُ then fasting شَهْرَيْنِ (for) two months مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ consecutively مِن before قَبْلِ before أَن [that] يَتَمَآسَّا ۖ they both touch each other فَمَن But (he) who لَّمْ not يَسْتَطِعْ is able فَإِطْعَامُ then (the) feeding سِتِّينَ (of) sixty مِسْكِينًۭا ۚ needy one(s) ذَٰلِكَ That لِتُؤْمِنُوا۟ so that you may believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۚ and His Messenger وَتِلْكَ and these حُدُودُ (are the) limits ٱللَّهِ ۗ (of) Allah وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ and for the disbelievers عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌ painful ٤

And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That is for you to believe [completely] in Allāh and His Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allāh. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who يُحَآدُّونَ oppose ٱللَّهَ Allah وَرَسُولَهُۥ and His Messenger كُبِتُوا۟ (will) be disgraced كَمَا as كُبِتَ were disgraced ٱلَّذِينَ those مِن before them قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ before them وَقَدْ And certainly أَنزَلْنَآ We have sent down ءَايَـٰتٍۭ Verses بَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ ۚ clear وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ And for the disbelievers عَذَابٌۭ (is) a punishment مُّهِينٌۭ humiliating ٥

Indeed, those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger are abased as those before them were abased. And We have certainly sent down verses of clear evidence. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment

يَوْمَ (On the) Day يَبْعَثُهُمُ (when) Allah will raise them ٱللَّهُ (when) Allah will raise them جَمِيعًۭا all فَيُنَبِّئُهُم and inform them بِمَا of what عَمِلُوٓا۟ ۚ they did أَحْصَىٰهُ Allah has recorded it ٱللَّهُ Allah has recorded it وَنَسُوهُ ۚ while they forgot it وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلَىٰ (is) over كُلِّ all شَىْءٍۢ things شَهِيدٌ a Witness ٦

On the Day when Allāh will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did. Allāh had enumerated it, while they forgot it; and Allāh is, over all things, Witness.
