Surah Al-Mujadila

قَدْ سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِيْ تُجَادِلُكَ فِيْ زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِيْٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ۖوَاللّٰهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ ۝١

Qod sami‘allāhu qoulal-latī tujādiluka fī zaujihā wa tasytakī ilallāh, wallāhu yasma‘u taḥāwurokumā, innallāha samī‘um baṣīr

1. Allah has heard the statement of her who argued with you concerning her husband, as she complained to Allah. Allah heard your conversation. Allah is Hearing and Seeing.

اَلَّذِيْنَ يُظٰهِرُوْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ نِّسَاۤىِٕهِمْ مَّا هُنَّ اُمَّهٰتِهِمْۗ اِنْ اُمَّهٰتُهُمْ اِلَّا الّٰۤـِٔيْ وَلَدْنَهُمْۗ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مُنْكَرًا مِّنَ الْقَوْلِ وَزُوْرًاۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُوْرٌ ۝٢

Allażīna yuẓōhirūna minkum min nisā-ihim mā hunna ummahātihim, in ummahātuhum illal-lā-ī waladnahum, wa innahum layaqūlūna munkarom minal-qouli wa zūrō, wa innallāha la‘afuwwun ghofūr

2. Those of you who estrange their wives by equating them with their mothers—they are not their mothers. Their mothers are none else but those who gave birth to them. What they say is evil, and a blatant lie. But Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving.

وَالَّذِيْنَ يُظٰهِرُوْنَ مِنْ نِّسَاۤىِٕهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُوْدُوْنَ لِمَا قَالُوْا فَتَحْرِيْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّتَمَاۤسَّاۗ ذٰلِكُمْ تُوْعَظُوْنَ بِهٖۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ ۝٣

Wal-lażīna yuẓōhirūna min nisā-ihim ṡumma ya‘ūdūna limā qōlū fa taḥrīru roqobatim min qobli ay yatamāssā, żālikum tū‘aẓūna bih, wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna khobīr

3. Those who estrange their wives by equating them with their mothers, then go back on what they said, must set free a slave before they may touch one another. To this you are exhorted, and Allah is well aware of what you do.

فَمَنْ لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّتَمَاۤسَّاۗ فَمَنْ لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَاِطْعَامُ سِتِّيْنَ مِسْكِيْنًاۗ ذٰلِكَ لِتُؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۗ وَتِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ ۗوَلِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ ۝٤

Famal lam yajid faṣiyāmu syahroini mutatābi‘aini min qobli ay yatamāssā, famal lam yastaṭi‘ fa iṭ‘āmu sittīna miskīnā, żālika litu'minū billāhi wa rosūlih, wa tilka ḥudūdullāh, wa lil-kāfirīna ‘ażābun alīm

4. But whoever cannot find the means must fast for two consecutive months before they may touch one another. And if he is unable, then the feeding of sixty needy people. This, in order that you affirm your faith in Allah and His Messenger. These are the ordinances of Allah. The unbelievers will have a painful punishment.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُحَاۤدُّوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ كُبِتُوْا كَمَا كُبِتَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَآ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍۗ وَلِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌۚ ۝٥

Innal-lażīna yuḥāddūnallāha wa rosūlahū kubitū kamā kubital-lażīna min qoblihim wa qod anzalnā āyātim bayyināt, wa lil-kāfirīna ‘ażābum muhīn

5. Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger will be subdued, as those before them were subdued. We have revealed clear messages. The unbelievers will have a demeaning punishment.

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيْعًا فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوْاۗ اَحْصٰىهُ اللّٰهُ وَنَسُوْهُۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ ࣖ ۝٦

Yauma yab‘aṡuhumullāhu jamī‘an fa yunabbi'uhum bimā ‘amilū, aḥṣōhullāhu wa nasūh, wallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in syahīd

6. On the Day when Allah resurrects them all, and informs them of what they did. Allah has kept count of it, but they have forgotten it. Allah is Witness over everything.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ مَا يَكُوْنُ مِنْ نَّجْوٰى ثَلٰثَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلَآ اَدْنٰى مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَآ اَكْثَرَ اِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ اَيْنَ مَا كَانُوْاۚ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوْا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ ۝٧

Alam taro annallāha ya‘lamu mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ, mā yakūnu min najwā ṡalāṡatin illā huwa rōbi‘uhum wa lā khomsatin illā huwa sādisuhum wa lā adnā min żālika wa lā akṡaro illā huwa ma‘ahum aina mā kānū, ṡumma yunabbi'uhum bimā ‘amilū yaumal-qiyāmah, innallāha bikulli syai'in ‘alīm

7. Do you not realize that Allah knows everything in the heavens and everything on earth? There is no secret counsel between three, but He is their fourth; nor between five, but He is their sixth; nor less than that, nor more, but He is with them wherever they may be. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. Allah has knowledge of everything.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ نُهُوْا عَنِ النَّجْوٰى ثُمَّ يَعُوْدُوْنَ لِمَا نُهُوْا عَنْهُ وَيَتَنٰجَوْنَ بِالْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ الرَّسُوْلِۖ وَاِذَا جَاۤءُوْكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللّٰهُ ۙوَيَقُوْلُوْنَ فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا اللّٰهُ بِمَا نَقُوْلُۗ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۚ يَصْلَوْنَهَاۚ فَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ ۝٨

Alam taro ilal-lażīna nuhū ‘anin-najwā ṡummā ya‘ūdūna limā nuhū ‘anhu wa yatanājauna bil-iṡmi wal-‘udwāni wa ma‘ṣiyatir-rosūl, wa iżā jā-ūka ḥayyauka bimā lam yuḥayyika bihillāh, wa yaqūlūna fī anfusihim lau lā yu‘ażżibunallāhu bimā naqūl, ḥasbuhum jahannam, yaṣlaunahā, fa bi'sal-maṣīr

8. Have you noted those who were prohibited from conspiring secretly, but then reverted to what they were prohibited from? They conspire to commit sin, and aggression, and defiance of the Messenger. And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting that Allah never greeted you with. And they say within themselves, “Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?” Hell is enough for them. They will roast in it. What a miserable destiny!

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا تَنَاجَيْتُمْ فَلَا تَتَنَاجَوْا بِالْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ الرَّسُوْلِ وَتَنَاجَوْا بِالْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوٰىۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ ۝٩

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā tanājaitum falā tatanājau bil-iṡmi wal-‘udwāni wa ma‘ṣiyatir-rosūli wa tanājau bil-birri wat-taqwā, wattaqullāhal-lażī ilaihi tuḥsyarūn

9. O you who believe! When you converse secretly, do not converse in sin, and aggression, and disobedience of the Messenger; but converse in virtue and piety; and fear Allah, to whom you will be gathered.

اِنَّمَا النَّجْوٰى مِنَ الشَّيْطٰنِ لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَلَيْسَ بِضَاۤرِّهِمْ شَيْـًٔا اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝١٠

Innaman-najwā minasy-syaiṭōni liyaḥzunal-lażīna āmanū wa laisa biḍōrrihim syai'an illā bi'iżnillāh, wa ‘alallāhi falyatawakkalil-mu'minūn

10. Conspiracies are from Satan, that he may dishearten those who believe; but he will not harm them in the least, except by leave of Allah. So let the believers put their trust in Allah.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا قِيْلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوْا فِى الْمَجٰلِسِ فَافْسَحُوْا يَفْسَحِ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْۚ وَاِذَا قِيْلَ انْشُزُوْا فَانْشُزُوْا يَرْفَعِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْۙ وَالَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجٰتٍۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ ۝١١

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā qīla lakum tafassaḥū fil-majālisi fafsaḥū yafsaḥillāhu lakum, wa iżā qīlansyuzū fansyuzū yarfa‘illāhul-lażīna āmanū minkum, wal-lażīna ūtul-‘ilma darojāt, wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna khobīr

11. O you who believe! When you are told to make room in your gatherings, make room; Allah will make room for you. And when you are told to disperse, disperse. Allah elevates those among you who believe, and those given knowledge, many steps. Allah is Aware of what you do.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ الرَّسُوْلَ فَقَدِّمُوْا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوٰىكُمْ صَدَقَةً ۗذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَاَطْهَرُۗ فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَجِدُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ۝١٢

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā nājaitumur-rosūla fa qoddimū baina yaday najwākum ṣodaqoh, żālika khoirul lakum wa aṭhar, fa'illam tajidū fa innallāha ghofūrur roḥīm

12. O you who believe! When you converse privately with the Messenger, offer something in charity before your conversation. That is better for you, and purer. But if you do not find the means—Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

ءَاَشْفَقْتُمْ اَنْ تُقَدِّمُوْا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوٰىكُمْ صَدَقٰتٍۗ فَاِذْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوْا وَتَابَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۗوَاللّٰهُ خَبِيْرٌ ۢبِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ ۝١٣

A'asyfaqtum an tuqoddimū baina yaday najwākum ṣodaqōt, fa iż lam taf‘alū wa tāballāhu ‘alaikum fa'aqīmuṣ-ṣolāta wa ātuz-zakāta wa aṭī‘ullāha wa rosūlah, wallāhu khobīrum bimā ta‘malūn

13. Are you reluctant to offer charity before your conversation? If you do not do so, and Allah pardons you, then perform the prayer, and give alms, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah is Aware of what you do.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ تَوَلَّوْا قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْۗ مَا هُمْ مِّنْكُمْ وَلَا مِنْهُمْۙ وَيَحْلِفُوْنَ عَلَى الْكَذِبِ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝١٤

Alam taro ilal-lażīna tawallau qouman ghoḍiballāhu ‘alaihim, mā hum minkum wa lā minhum, wa yaḥlifūna ‘alal-każibi wa hum ya‘lamūn

14. Have you considered those who befriended a people with whom Allah has become angry? They are not of you, nor of them. And they swear to a lie while they know.

اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاۗ اِنَّهُمْ سَاۤءَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝١٥

A‘addallāhu lahum ‘ażāban syadīdā, innahum sā-a mā kānū ya‘malūn

15. Allah has prepared for them a terrible punishment. Evil is what they used to do.

اِتَّخَذُوْٓا اَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌ ۝١٦

Ittakhożū aimānahum junnatan fa ṣoddū ‘an sabīlillāhi falahum ‘ażābum muhīn

16. They took their oaths as a screen, and prevented others from Allah’s path. They will have a shameful punishment.

لَنْ تُغْنِيَ عَنْهُمْ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلَآ اَوْلَادُهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـًٔاۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۗ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۝١٧

Lan tughniya ‘anhum amwāluhum wa lā aulāduhum minallāhi syai'ā, ulā-ika aṣḥābun-nār, hum fīhā khōlidūn

17. Neither their possessions nor their children will avail them anything against Allah. These are the inhabitants of the Fire, dwelling therein forever.

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيْعًا فَيَحْلِفُوْنَ لَهٗ كَمَا يَحْلِفُوْنَ لَكُمْ وَيَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ عَلٰى شَيْءٍۗ اَلَآ اِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْكٰذِبُوْنَ ۝١٨

Yauma yab‘aṡuhumullāhu jamī‘an fa yaḥlifūna lahū kamā yaḥlifūna lakum wa yaḥsabūna annahum ‘alā syai', alā innahum humul-kāżibūn

18. On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together—they will swear to Him, as they swear to you, thinking that they are upon something. Indeed, they themselves are the liars.

اِسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ فَاَنْسٰىهُمْ ذِكْرَ اللّٰهِ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ حِزْبُ الشَّيْطٰنِۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ حِزْبَ الشَّيْطٰنِ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ۝١٩

Istaḥważa ‘alaihimusy-syaiṭōnu fa'ansāhum żikrollāh, ulā-ika ḥizbusy-syaiṭōn, alā inna ḥizbasy-syaiṭōni humul-khōsirūn

19. Satan has taken hold of them, and so has caused them to forget the remembrance of Allah. These are the partisans of Satan. Indeed, it is Satan’s partisans who are the losers.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُحَاۤدُّوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗٓ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ فِى الْاَذَلِّيْنَ ۝٢٠

Innal-lażīna yuḥāddūnallāha wa rosūlahū ulā-ika fil-ażallīn

20. Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger are among the lowliest.

كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَاَغْلِبَنَّ اَنَا۠ وَرُسُلِيْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيْزٌ ۝٢١

Kataballāhu la'aghlibanna ana wa rusulī, innallāha qowiyyun ‘azīz

21. Allah has written: “I will certainly prevail, I and My messengers.” Allah is Strong and Mighty.

لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ يُوَاۤدُّوْنَ مَنْ حَاۤدَّ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَوْ كَانُوْٓا اٰبَاۤءَهُمْ اَوْ اَبْنَاۤءَهُمْ اَوْ اِخْوَانَهُمْ اَوْ عَشِيْرَتَهُمْۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ كَتَبَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمُ الْاِيْمَانَ وَاَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوْحٍ مِّنْهُ ۗوَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۗ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوْا عَنْهُۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ حِزْبُ اللّٰهِ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ حِزْبَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٢٢

Lā tajidu qoumay yu'minūna billāhi wal-yaumil ākhiri yuwāddūna man ḥāddallāha wa rosūlahū wa lau kānū ābā-ahum au abnā-ahum au ikhwānahum au ‘asyīrotahum, ulā-ika kataba fī qulūbihimul-īmāna wa ayyadahum birūḥim minh, wa yudkhiluhum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khōlidīna fīhā, roḍiyallāhu ‘anhum wa roḍū ‘anh, ulā-ika ḥizbullāh, alā inna ḥizballāhi humul-mufliḥūn

22. You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their parents, or their children, or their siblings, or their close relatives. These—He has inscribed faith in their hearts, and has supported them with a spirit from Him. And He will admit them into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will dwell forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. These are the partisans of Allah. Indeed, it is Allah’s partisans who are the successful.
