Surah At-Tahrim

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَآ اَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ لَكَۚ تَبْتَغِيْ مَرْضَاتَ اَزْوَاجِكَۗ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ۝١

Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu lima tuḥarrimu mā aḥallallāhu lak, tabtaghī marḍōta azwājik, wallāhu ghofūrur roḥīm

1. O Prophet! Why do you prohibit what Allah has permitted for you, seeking to please your wives? Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

قَدْ فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ اَيْمَانِكُمْۚ وَاللّٰهُ مَوْلٰىكُمْۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيْمُ الْحَكِيْمُ ۝٢

Qod faroḍollāhu lakum taḥillata aimānikum, wallāhu maulākum, wa huwal-‘alīmul-ḥakīm

2. Allah has decreed for you the dissolution of your oaths. Allah is your Master. He is the All-Knowing, the Most Wise.

وَاِذْ اَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ اِلٰى بَعْضِ اَزْوَاجِهٖ حَدِيْثًاۚ فَلَمَّا نَبَّاَتْ بِهٖ وَاَظْهَرَهُ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ عَرَّفَ بَعْضَهٗ وَاَعْرَضَ عَنْۢ بَعْضٍۚ فَلَمَّا نَبَّاَهَا بِهٖ قَالَتْ مَنْ اَنْۢبَاَكَ هٰذَاۗ قَالَ نَبَّاَنِيَ الْعَلِيْمُ الْخَبِيْرُ ۝٣

Wa iż asarron-nabiyyu ilā ba‘ḍi azwājihī ḥadīṡā, falammā nabba'at bihī wa aẓharohullāhu ‘alaihi ‘arrofa ba‘ḍohū wa a‘roḍo ‘am baḍ, falammā nabba'ahā bihī qōlat man amba'aka hāżā, qōla nabba'aniyal-‘alīmul-khobīr

3. The Prophet told something in confidence to one of his wives. But when she disclosed it, and Allah made it known to him; he communicated part of it, and he avoided another part. Then, when he informed her of it, she said, “Who informed you of this?” He said, “The All-Knowing, the All-Informed, informed me.”

اِنْ تَتُوْبَآ اِلَى اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوْبُكُمَاۚ وَاِنْ تَظٰهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ مَوْلٰىهُ وَجِبْرِيْلُ وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۚ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ ظَهِيْرٌ ۝٤

In tatūbā ilallāhi faqod ṣoghot qulūbukumā, wa in taẓōharō ‘alaihi fa innallāha huwa maulāhu wa jibrīlu wa ṣōliḥul-mu'minīn, wal-malā-ikatu ba‘da żālika ẓohīr

4. If you repent to Allah, then your hearts have listened. But if you band together against him, then Allah is his Ally, as is Gabriel, and the righteous believers. In addition, the angels will assist him.

عَسٰى رَبُّهٗٓ اِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ اَنْ يُّبْدِلَهٗٓ اَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِّنْكُنَّ مُسْلِمٰتٍ مُّؤْمِنٰتٍ قٰنِتٰتٍ تٰۤىِٕبٰتٍ عٰبِدٰتٍ سٰۤىِٕحٰتٍ ثَيِّبٰتٍ وَّاَبْكَارًا ۝٥

‘Asā robbuhū in ṭollaqokunna ay yubdilahū azwājan khoirom minkunna muslimātim mu'minātin qōnitātin tā-ibātin ‘ābidātin sā-iḥātin ṡayyibātiw wa abkārō

5. Perhaps, if he divorces you, his Lord will give him in exchange wives better than you: submissive, believing, obedient, penitent, devout, fasting—previously married, or virgins.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا قُوْٓا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَاَهْلِيْكُمْ نَارًا وَّقُوْدُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلٰۤىِٕكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُوْنَ اللّٰهَ مَآ اَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُوْنَ مَا يُؤْمَرُوْنَ ۝٦

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū qū anfusakum wa ahlīkum nārow waqūduhan-nāsu wal-ḥijārotu ‘alaihā malā-ikatun ghilāẓun syidādul lā ya‘ṣūnallāha mā amarohum wa yaf‘alūna mā yu'marūn

6. O you who believe! Protect yourselves and your families from a Fire, whose fuel is people and stones. Over it are angels, fierce and powerful. They never disobey Allah in anything He commands them, and they carry out whatever they are commanded.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا الْيَوْمَۗ اِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٧

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna kafarū lā ta‘tażīrul-yaum, innamā tujzauna mā kuntum ta‘malūn

7. O you who disbelieved! Make no excuses today. You are being repaid for what you used to do.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوْحًاۗ عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يُّكَفِّرَ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۙ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِى اللّٰهُ النَّبِيَّ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗۚ نُوْرُهُمْ يَسْعٰى بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَبِاَيْمَانِهِمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَآ اَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُوْرَنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَاۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ۝٨

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū tūbū ilallāhi taubatan naṣūḥā, ‘asā robbukum ay yukaffiro ‘ankum sayyi'ātikum wa yudkhilakum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhār, yauma lā yukhzillāhun-nabiyya wal-lażīna āmanū ma‘ah, nūruhum yas‘ā baina aidīhim wa bi'aimānihim yaqūlūna robbanā atmim lanā nūronā waghfir lanā, innaka ‘alā kulli syai'in qodīr

8. O you who believe! Repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remit your sins, and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow, on the Day when Allah will not disappoint the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light streaming before them, and to their right, they will say, “Our Lord, complete our light for us, and forgive us; You are Capable of all things.”

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْۗ وَمَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۗ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ ۝٩

Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu jāhidil-kuffāro wal-munāfiqīna waghluẓ ‘alaihim, wa ma'wāhum jahannam, wa bi'sal-maṣīr

9. O Prophet! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Their abode is Hell. What a miserable destination!

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا امْرَاَتَ نُوْحٍ وَّامْرَاَتَ لُوْطٍۗ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتٰهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـًٔا وَّقِيْلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدّٰخِلِيْنَ ۝١٠

Ḍoroballāhu maṡalal lil-lażīna kafarumro'ata nūḥiw wamro'ata lūṭ, kānatā taḥta ‘abdaini min ‘ibādinā ṣōliḥaini fa khōnatāhumā falam yughniyā ‘anhumā minallāhi syai'aw wa qīladkhulan-nāro ma‘ad-dākhilīn

10. Allah illustrates an example of those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants, but they betrayed them. They availed them nothing against Allah, and it was said, “Enter the Fire with those who are entering.”

وَضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا امْرَاَتَ فِرْعَوْنَۘ اِذْ قَالَتْ رَبِّ ابْنِ لِيْ عِنْدَكَ بَيْتًا فِى الْجَنَّةِ وَنَجِّنِيْ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِهٖ وَنَجِّنِيْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَۙ ۝١١

Wa ḍoroballāhu maṡalal lil-lażīna āmanumro'ata fir‘aun, iż qōlat robbibni lī ‘indaka baitan fil jannati wa najjinī min fir‘auna wa ‘amalihī wa najjinī minal qoumiẓ-ẓōlimīn

11. And Allah illustrates an example of those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, “My Lord, build for me, with You, a house in Paradise, and save me from Pharaoh and his works, and save me from the wrongdoing people.”

وَمَرْيَمَ ابْنَتَ عِمْرٰنَ الَّتِيْٓ اَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهٖ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْقٰنِتِيْنَ ࣖ ۝١٢

Wa maryamabnata ‘imrōnal-latī aḥṣonat farjahā fa nafakhnā fīhi mir rūḥinā wa ṣoddaqot bikalimāti robbihā wa kutubihī wa kānat minal-qōnitīn

12. And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her womb, and so We breathed into her of Our spirit; and she believed in the truth of her Lord’s words and His Books, and was one of the devout.
