Read Surah An-Nisa

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ كَیْفَ تَاْخُذُوْنَهٗ وَ قَدْ اَفْضٰی بَعْضُكُمْ اِلٰی بَعْضٍ وَّ اَخَذْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِّیْثَاقًا غَلِیْظًا۝۲۱

How could you do that having slept with one another, and when they had taken a solemn pledge from you?

وَ لَا تَنْكِحُوْا مَا نَكَحَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَآءِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَّ مَقْتًا ؕ وَ سَآءَ سَبِیْلًا۠۝۲۲

And do not wed the women your fathers had wed. What happened in the past is now past: It was lewd and abhorrent, and only the way of evil.

حُرِّمَتْ عَلَیْكُمْ اُمَّهٰتُكُمْ وَ بَنٰتُكُمْ وَ اَخَوٰتُكُمْ وَ عَمّٰتُكُمْ وَ خٰلٰتُكُمْ وَ بَنٰتُ الْاَخِ وَ بَنٰتُ الْاُخْتِ وَ اُمَّهٰتُكُمُ الّٰتِیْۤ اَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَ اَخَوٰتُكُمْ مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَ اُمَّهٰتُ نِسَآىِٕكُمْ وَ رَبَآىِٕبُكُمُ الّٰتِیْ فِیْ حُجُوْرِكُمْ مِّنْ نِّسَآىِٕكُمُ الّٰتِیْ دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ ؗ فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَكُوْنُوْا دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ ؗ وَ حَلَآىِٕلُ اَبْنَآىِٕكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ اَصْلَابِكُمْ ۙ وَ اَنْ تَجْمَعُوْا بَیْنَ الْاُخْتَیْنِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًاۙ۝۲۳

Unlawful are your mothers and daughters and your sisters to you, and the sisters of your fathers and your mothers, and the daughters of your brothers and sisters, and foster mothers, foster sisters, and the mothers of your wives, and the daughters of the wives you have slept with who are under your charge; but in case you have not slept with them there is no offence (if you marry their daughters); and the wives of your own begotten sons; and marrying two sisters is unlawful. What happened in the past (is now past): God is forgiving and kind.

وَّ الْمُحْصَنٰتُ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ اِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ ۚ كِتٰبَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ ۚ وَ اُحِلَّ لَكُمْ مَّا وَرَآءَ ذٰلِكُمْ اَنْ تَبْتَغُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ مُّحْصِنِیْنَ غَیْرَ مُسٰفِحِیْنَ ؕ فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْهُنَّ فَاٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ فَرِیْضَةً ؕ وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِیْمَا تَرٰضَیْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْفَرِیْضَةِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا۝۲۴

Also forbidden are married women unless they are captives (of war). Such is the decree of God. Lawful for you are women besides these if you seek them with your wealth for wedlock and not for debauchery. Then give those of these women you have enjoyed, the agreed dower. It will not be sinful if you agree to something (else) by mutual consent after having settled the dowry. God is certainly all-knowing and all-wise.

وَ مَنْ لَّمْ یَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا اَنْ یَّنْكِحَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ فَمِنْ مَّا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ مِّنْ فَتَیٰتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِاِیْمَانِكُمْ ؕ بَعْضُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْضٍ ۚ فَانْكِحُوْهُنَّ بِاِذْنِ اَهْلِهِنَّ وَ اٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ مُحْصَنٰتٍ غَیْرَ مُسٰفِحٰتٍ وَّ لَا مُتَّخِذٰتِ اَخْدَانٍ ۚ فَاِذَاۤ اُحْصِنَّ فَاِنْ اَتَیْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَیْهِنَّ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَی الْمُحْصَنٰتِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِیَ الْعَنَتَ مِنْكُمْ ؕ وَ اَنْ تَصْبِرُوْا خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠۝۲۵

If one of you cannot afford to marry a believing gentlewoman (let him marry) a maid who is a believer. God is aware of your faith: The one of you is of the other; so marry them with the consent of their people, and give them an appropriate dowry. They are women (seeking) wedlock, and not lechery, nor secretly looking for paramours. But if they are married and guilty of adultery, inflict on them half the punishment (enjoined) for gentlewomen. This is for those who are afraid of doing wrong. In case they can wait, it is better for them. God is forgiving and kind.

یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ لِیُبَیِّنَ لَكُمْ وَ یَهْدِیَكُمْ سُنَنَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَ یَتُوْبَ عَلَیْكُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۲۶

God wishes to make it clear to you and guide you through the example of earlier people, and to forgive you, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.

وَ اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ اَنْ یَّتُوْبَ عَلَیْكُمْ ۫ وَ یُرِیْدُ الَّذِیْنَ یَتَّبِعُوْنَ الشَّهَوٰتِ اَنْ تَمِیْلُوْا مَیْلًا عَظِیْمًا۝۲۷

God likes to turn to you, but those who are lost in the pleasures of the flesh wish to turn you astray, far away.

یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یُّخَفِّفَ عَنْكُمْ ۚ وَ خُلِقَ الْاِنْسَانُ ضَعِیْفًا۝۲۸

God would like to lighten your burden, for man was created weak.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَاْكُلُوْۤا اَمْوَالَكُمْ بَیْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ تِجَارَةً عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِّنْكُمْ ۫ وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِیْمًا۝۲۹

O believers, you should not usurp unjustly the wealth of each other, but trade by mutual consent; and do not destroy yourselves. God is merciful to you.

وَ مَنْ یَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ عُدْوَانًا وَّ ظُلْمًا فَسَوْفَ نُصْلِیْهِ نَارًا ؕ وَ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ یَسِیْرًا۝۳۰

If someone does so through oppression or injustice, We shall cast him into Hell: This is how (the Law of) God works inevitably.
