An-Nisa'

يَاأَيُّهَاyāayyuhā

النَّاسُl-nāsu

mankind!

اتَّقُواittaqū

Fear

رَبَّكُمُrabbakumu

your Lord

الَّذِيalladhī

the One Who

خَلَقَكُمْkhalaqakum

created you

مِنْmin

from

نَفْسٍnafsin

a soul

وَاحِدَةٍwāḥidatin

single

وَخَلَقَwakhalaqa

and created

مِنْهَاmin'hā

from it

زَوْجَهَاzawjahā

its mate

وَبَثَّwabatha

and dispersed

مِنْهُمَاmin'humā

from both of them

رِجَالًاrijālan

many men

كَثِيرًاkathīran

many men

وَنِسَاءًwanisāan

and women.

وَاتَّقُواwa-ittaqū

And fear

اللَّهَl-laha

Allah

الَّذِيalladhī

(through) Whom

تَسَاءَلُونَtasāalūna

you ask

بِهِbihi

[with it]

وَالْأَرْحَامَwal-arḥāma

and the wombs.

إِنَّinna

Indeed,

اللَّهَl-laha

Allah

كَانَkāna

عَلَيْكُمْʿalaykum

over you

رَقِيبًاraqīban

Ever-Watchful.

People, be mindful of your Lord, who created you from a single soul, and from it created its mate, and from the pair of them spread countless men and women far and wide; be mindful of God, in whose name you make requests of one another. Beware of severing the ties of kinship: God is always watching over you.

وَءَاتُواwaātū

And give

الْيَتَامَىl-yatāmā

(to) the orphans

أَمْوَالَهُمْamwālahum

their wealth,

وَلَاwalā

and (do) not

تَتَبَدَّلُواtatabaddalū

exchange

الْخَبِيثَl-khabītha

the bad

بِالطَّيِّبِbil-ṭayibi

with the good,

وَلَاwalā

and (do) not

تَأْكُلُواtakulū

consume

أَمْوَالَهُمْamwālahum

their wealth

إِلَىilā

with

أَمْوَالِكُمْamwālikum

your wealth.

إِنَّهُinnahu

Indeed, it

كَانَkāna

حُوبًاḥūban

a sin

كَبِيرًاkabīran

great.

Give orphans their property, do not replace [their] good things with bad, and do not consume their property with your own- a great sin.

وَإِنْwa-in

And if

خِفْتُمْkhif'tum

you fear

أَلَّاallā

that not

تُقْسِطُواtuq'siṭū

you will be able to do

فِيfī

with

الْيَتَامَىl-yatāmā

the orphans,

فَانْكِحُواfa-inkiḥū

then marry

مَاmā

what

طَابَṭāba

seems suitable

لَكُمْlakum

to you

مِنَmina

from

النِّسَاءِl-nisāi

the women

مَثْنَىmathnā

two,

وَثُلَاثَwathulātha

or three,

وَرُبَاعَwarubāʿa

or four.

فَإِنْfa-in

But if

خِفْتُمْkhif'tum

you fear

أَلَّاallā

that not

تَعْدِلُواtaʿdilū

you can do justice

فَوَاحِدَةًfawāḥidatan

then (marry) one

أَوْaw

مَاmā

what

مَلَكَتْmalakat

possesses

أَيْمَانُكُمْaymānukum

your right hand.

ذَلِكَdhālika

That

أَدْنَىadnā

(is) more appropriate

أَلَّاallā

that you (may) not oppress.

تَعُولُواtaʿūlū

that you (may) not oppress.

If you fear that you will not deal fairly with orphan girls, you may marry whichever [other] women seem good to you, two, three, or four. If you fear that you cannot be equitable [to them], then marry only one, or your slave(s): that is more likely to make you avoid bias.

وَءَاتُواwaātū

And give

النِّسَاءَl-nisāa

the women

صَدُقَاتِهِنَّṣaduqātihinna

their dower

نِحْلَةًniḥ'latan

graciously.

فَإِنْfa-in

But if

طِبْنَṭib'na

they remit

لَكُمْlakum

to you

عَنْʿan

anything

شَيْءٍshayin

anything

مِنْهُmin'hu

of it

نَفْسًاnafsan

(on their) own,

فَكُلُوهُfakulūhu

then eat it

هَنِيئًاhanīan

(in) satisfaction

مَرِيئًاmarīan

(and) ease.

Give women their bridal gift upon marriage, though if they are happy to give up some of it for you, you may enjoy it with a clear conscience.

وَلَاwalā

And (do) not

تُؤْتُواtu'tū

give

السُّفَهَاءَl-sufahāa

the foolish

أَمْوَالَكُمُamwālakumu

your wealth

الَّتِيallatī

which

جَعَلَjaʿala

Allah made

اللَّهُl-lahu

Allah made

لَكُمْlakum

for you

قِيَامًاqiyāman

a means of support

وَارْزُقُوهُمْwa-ur'zuqūhum

(but) provide (for) them

فِيهَاfīhā

with it

وَاكْسُوهُمْwa-ik'sūhum

and clothe them

وَقُولُواwaqūlū

and speak

لَهُمْlahum

to them

قَوْلًاqawlan

words

مَعْرُوفًاmaʿrūfan

(of) kindness.

Do not entrust your property to the feeble-minded. God has made it a means of support for you: make provision for them from it, clothe them, and address them kindly.

وَابْتَلُواwa-ib'talū

And test

الْيَتَامَىl-yatāmā

the orphans

حَتَّىḥattā

until

إِذَاidhā

[when]

بَلَغُواbalaghū

they reach[ed]

النِّكَاحَl-nikāḥa

(the age of) marriage,

فَإِنْfa-in

then if

ءَانَسْتُمْānastum

you perceive

مِنْهُمْmin'hum

in them

رُشْدًاrush'dan

sound judgement

فَادْفَعُواfa-id'faʿū

then deliver

إِلَيْهِمْilayhim

to them

أَمْوَالَهُمْamwālahum

their wealth.

وَلَاwalā

And (do) not

تَأْكُلُوهَاtakulūhā

eat it

إِسْرَافًاis'rāfan

extravagantly

وَبِدَارًاwabidāran

and hastily

أَنْan

(fearing) that

يَكْبَرُواyakbarū

they will grow up.

وَمَنْwaman

And whoever

كَانَkāna

غَنِيًّاghaniyyan

rich

فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْfalyastaʿfif

then he should refrain,

وَمَنْwaman

and whoever

كَانَkāna

فَقِيرًاfaqīran

poor

فَلْيَأْكُلْfalyakul

then let him eat (of it)

بِالْمَعْرُوفِbil-maʿrūfi

in a fair manner.

فَإِذَاfa-idhā

Then when

دَفَعْتُمْdafaʿtum

you deliver

إِلَيْهِمْilayhim

to them

أَمْوَالَهُمْamwālahum

their wealth

فَأَشْهِدُواfa-ashhidū

then take witnesses

عَلَيْهِمْʿalayhim

on them.

وَكَفَىwakafā

And Allah is sufficient

بِاللَّهِbil-lahi

And Allah is sufficient

حَسِيبًاḥasīban

(as) a Reckoner.

Test orphans until they reach marriageable age; then, if you find they have sound judgement, hand over their property to them. Do not consume it hastily before they come of age: if the guardian is well off he should abstain from the orphan’s property, and if he is poor he should use only what is fair. When you give them their property, call witnesses in; but God takes full account of everything you do.

وَقُولُواwaqūlū

and speak

لَهُمْlahum

to them

قَوْلًاqawlan

words

مَعْرُوفًاmaʿrūfan

If other relatives, orphans, or needy people are present at the distribution, give them something too, and speak kindly to them.

وَلْيَخْشَwalyakhsha

And let fear -

الَّذِينَalladhīna

those who,

لَوْlaw

تَرَكُواtarakū

they left

مِنْmin

behind

خَلْفِهِمْkhalfihim

behind

ذُرِّيَّةًdhurriyyatan

offspring

ضِعَافًاḍiʿāfan

weak

خَافُواkhāfū

(and) they would have feared

عَلَيْهِمْʿalayhim

about them.

فَلْيَتَّقُواfalyattaqū

So let them fear

اللَّهَl-laha

Allah

وَلْيَقُولُواwalyaqūlū

and let them speak

قَوْلًاqawlan

words

سَدِيدًاsadīdan

appropriate.

Let those who would fear for the future of their own helpless children, if they were to die, show the same concern [for orphans]; let them be mindful of God and speak out for justice.

they consume

فِيfī

بُطُونِهِمْbuṭūnihim

their bellies

نَارًاnāran

fire,

وَسَيَصْلَوْنَwasayaṣlawna

and they will be burned

سَعِيرًاsaʿīran

(in) a Blazing Fire.

Those who consume the property of orphans unjustly are actually swallowing fire into their own bellies: they will burn in the blazing Flame.
