وَمَن يَعمَل مِنَ الصّالِحاتِ مِن ذَكَرٍ أَو أُنثىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤمِنٌ فَأُولـٰئِكَ يَدخُلونَ الجَنَّةَ وَلا يُظلَمونَ نَقيرًا
And whoever works righteousness, male or female, and is a believer—these will enter Paradise, and they won’t be wronged even as much as a speck.
وَمَن أَحسَنُ دينًا مِمَّن أَسلَمَ وَجهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحسِنٌ وَاتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبراهيمَ حَنيفًا ۗ وَاتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ إِبراهيمَ خَليلًا
Who is better in religion than one who surrenders his whole being to God, acts virtuously, and follows the monotheistic creed of Abraham? God chose Abraham as a cherished friend.
وَلِلَّهِ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ مُحيطًا
Everything within the heavens and the earth belongs to God, and God encompasses all things.
وَيَستَفتونَكَ فِي النِّساءِ ۖ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفتيكُم فيهِنَّ وَما يُتلىٰ عَلَيكُم فِي الكِتابِ في يَتامَى النِّساءِ اللّاتي لا تُؤتونَهُنَّ ما كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَتَرغَبونَ أَن تَنكِحوهُنَّ وَالمُستَضعَفينَ مِنَ الوِلدانِ وَأَن تَقوموا لِليَتامىٰ بِالقِسطِ ۚ وَما تَفعَلوا مِن خَيرٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِهِ عَليمًا
They ask you for a legal ruling concerning women. Say, “God gives you a legal ruling about them, as well as what was communicated to you in the Scripture concerning orphan girls whom you deny what’s prescribed for them and yet you wish to marry, and concerning the vulnerable among children. You are urged to treat orphans with fairness.” Whatever good you do, God is fully aware of it.
وَإِنِ امرَأَةٌ خافَت مِن بَعلِها نُشوزًا أَو إِعراضًا فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيهِما أَن يُصلِحا بَينَهُما صُلحًا ۚ وَالصُّلحُ خَيرٌ ۗ وَأُحضِرَتِ الأَنفُسُ الشُّحَّ ۚ وَإِن تُحسِنوا وَتَتَّقوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعمَلونَ خَبيرًا
If a woman fears ill-treatment or estrangement from her husband, there is no fault in them if they reconcile. Reconciliation is always preferable, yet human nature gravitates towards selfishness. If you behave with righteousness and reverence, God is Ever-Aware of what you do.
وَلَن تَستَطيعوا أَن تَعدِلوا بَينَ النِّساءِ وَلَو حَرَصتُم ۖ فَلا تَميلوا كُلَّ المَيلِ فَتَذَروها كَالمُعَلَّقَةِ ۚ وَإِن تُصلِحوا وَتَتَّقوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ غَفورًا رَحيمًا
You will never be able to treat women with perfect fairness, no matter how sincere your intentions. Therefore, don’t incline excessively towards one and leave the other hanging. And if you act righteously and practice piety—God is ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَإِن يَتَفَرَّقا يُغنِ اللَّهُ كُلًّا مِن سَعَتِهِ ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ واسِعًا حَكيمًا
If they do separate, God will suffice each from His bounty. God is All-Encompassing, All-Wise.
وَلِلَّهِ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۗ وَلَقَد وَصَّينَا الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ مِن قَبلِكُم وَإِيّاكُم أَنِ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ وَإِن تَكفُروا فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ غَنِيًّا حَميدًا
Everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to God. We’ve instructed those who were given the Scripture before you, and also you, to fear God. If you disbelieve, know that everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to God. God is Independent and Praiseworthy.
وَلِلَّهِ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۚ وَكَفىٰ بِاللَّهِ وَكيلًا
Everything in the heavens and on earth is God’s, and God is enough to rely upon.
إِن يَشَأ يُذهِبكُم أَيُّهَا النّاسُ وَيَأتِ بِآخَرينَ ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ ذٰلِكَ قَديرًا
If He wills, He can eliminate you, O people, and bring about others. God has the power to do this.
مَن كانَ يُريدُ ثَوابَ الدُّنيا فَعِندَ اللَّهِ ثَوابُ الدُّنيا وَالآخِرَةِ ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ سَميعًا بَصيرًا
Whoever desires the reward of this world—with God is the reward of the world and the Hereafter. God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
