60. THE WOMAN TO BE EXAMINED ( Al – Mumtahana )
|
In
the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
|
1.
O you who believe! do not take My enemy and your enemy as friends offering
them love while they reject that which has come to you of the truth,
driving out the messenger and you (just) because you believe in Allah
your Fosterer. If you have come out for striving in My way and seeking
My pleasure (why) do you offer them love in secret? And I know best
that which you hide and that which you make public. And whoever from
among you does that, then he has indeed gone astray from the balanced
way.
|
2.
If they dominate you, they will be your enemies, and they will stretch
towards you their hands and their tongues with evil, and they like that
you (too should) reject (the truth).
|
3.
Your blood relatives and your children will not be of any benefit to
you on the day of resurrection, He will decide between you, and Allah
is the Seer of that which you do.
|
4.
There is indeed a good example for you to follow, in Ibrahim and those
with him when they said to their people, “We are free of you and that
which you worship besides Allah, we do not believe with you, and enemity
and hatred has become manifest between us and you for ever, unless you
(too) believe in Allah Who is One,” but for the word of Ibrahim to his
father, “I will definitely ask protective forgiveness for you though
I do not control for you anything from Allah. Our Fosterer! in You do
we put our trust and towards You do we turn and towards You is the destination.
|
5.
Our Fosterer ! do not make us (an item of) trial for those who do not
believe and protect us, our Fosterer! You are certainly the Mighty,
the Wise.”
|
6.
There is certainly a good example in them for you to follow, for him
who hopes (facing) Allah and the period hereafter; and he who turns
away, then Allah is certainly Independent, the Praised. ( R l )
|
7.
It may be that Allah will (inspire) love between you and those of them
who are your enemies, and Allah is Powerful and Allah is Protectively
Forgiving, Merciful.
|
8.
Allah does not forbid you, with regard to those who do not fight with
you on account of (your) religion nor drive you out of your houses,
(from) being kind to them and dealing justly with them, Allah certainly
loves those who are just.
|
9.
Allah forbids you, only with regard to those who fight with you on account
of (your) religion and drive you out of your houses and help (others)
in driving you out,(from) making friendship with them, and whoever makes
friendship with them, then those are the persons who are unjust.
|
10.
O you who believe ! when believing immigrant women come to you then
examine them, Allah knows best their belief, but if you (too) know them
to be believers then do not return them to the infidels, they are not
lawful for them nor the (infidels) are lawful for them and give the
(infidels) that which they have spent (on them), and there is no sin
on you to marry them when you give them their dowries. And do not retain
the ties of marriage with the infidel women. And ask for (the return
of) that which you have spent and let them ask for (the return of) that
which they have spent, that is the judgment of Allah (with which) He
judges between you and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
|
11.
And if anything through your wives (who deserted you) has gone from
you to the infidels, then when your turn comes (and you receive wealth
from the infidels, then) give to those whose wives have gone, the like
of that which they had spent, and fear Allah, in Whom you believe.
|
12.O
prophet! when believing women come to you to take an oath of allegiance
unto you that they will not associate anything with Allah and they will
not steal and they will not commit adultery and they will not kill their
children and they will not come with a false charge (on someone), forging
it between their hands and their feet, and they will not disobey you
in (what) is recognised (as good), then accept their allegiance and
ask Allah for their protective forgiveness, Allah is certainly Protectively
Forgiving, Merciful.
|
13.
O you who believe! do not make friendship with a people on whom is Allah’s
anger, they are indeed in despair about
the hereafter as the infidels are in despair about those who
are in graves. ( R 2, P 27 ˝ )
