Surah Memorizer Beta

At-Tahrim

1

يَاأَيُّهَاyāayyuhā
O Prophet!
النَّبِيُّl-nabiyu
O Prophet!
لِمَlima
Why (do)
تُحَرِّمُtuḥarrimu
you prohibit
مَاmā
what
أَحَلَّaḥalla
Allah has made lawful
اللَّهُl-lahu
Allah has made lawful
لَكَlaka
for you,
تَبْتَغِيtabtaghī
seeking
مَرْضَاتَmarḍāta
(to) please
أَزْوَاجِكَazwājika
your wives?
وَاللَّهُwal-lahu
And Allah
غَفُورٌghafūrun
(is) Oft-Forgiving,
رَحِيمٌraḥīmun
Most Merciful.
Prophet, why do you prohibit what God has made lawful to you in your desire to please your wives? Yet God is forgiving and merciful:

2

قَدْqad
Indeed,
فَرَضَfaraḍa
Allah has ordained
اللَّهُl-lahu
Allah has ordained
لَكُمْlakum
for you
تَحِلَّةَtaḥillata
(the) dissolution
أَيْمَانِكُمْaymānikum
(of) your oaths.
وَاللَّهُwal-lahu
And Allah
مَوْلَاكُمْmawlākum
(is) your Protector
وَهُوَwahuwa
and He
الْعَلِيمُl-ʿalīmu
(is) the All-Knower,
الْحَكِيمُl-ḥakīmu
the All-Wise.
He has ordained a way for you [believers] to release you from [such] oaths––God is your helper: He is the All Knowing, the Wise.

وَإِذْwa-idh
And when
أَسَرَّasarra
confided
النَّبِيُّl-nabiyu
the Prophet
إِلَىilā
to
بَعْضِbaʿḍi
one
أَزْوَاجِهِazwājihi
(of) his wives
حَدِيثًاḥadīthan
a statement,
فَلَمَّاfalammā
and when
نَبَّأَتْnabba-at
she informed
بِهِbihi
about it
وَأَظْهَرَهُwa-aẓharahu
and Allah made it apparent
اللَّهُl-lahu
and Allah made it apparent
عَلَيْهِʿalayhi
to him,
عَرَّفَʿarrafa
he made known
بَعْضَهُbaʿḍahu
a part of it
وَأَعْرَضَwa-aʿraḍa
and avoided
عَنْʿan
[of]
بَعْضٍbaʿḍin
a part.
فَلَمَّاfalammā
Then when
نَبَّأَهَاnabba-ahā
he informed her
بِهِbihi
about it,
قَالَتْqālat
she said,
مَنْman
"Who
أَنْبَأَكَanba-aka
informed you
هَذَاhādhā
this?"
قَالَqāla
He said,
نَبَّأَنِيَnabba-aniya
"Has informed me
الْعَلِيمُl-ʿalīmu
the All-Knower,
الْخَبِيرُl-khabīru
the All-Aware."
The Prophet told something in confidence to one of his wives. When she disclosed it [to another wife] and God made this known to him, he confirmed part of it, keeping the rest to himself. When he confronted her with what she had done, she asked, ‘Who told you about this?’ and he replied, ‘The All Knowing, the All Aware told me.’

إِنْin
If
تَتُوبَاtatūbā
you both turn
إِلَىilā
to
اللَّهِl-lahi
Allah,
فَقَدْfaqad
so indeed,
صَغَتْṣaghat
(are) inclined
قُلُوبُكُمَاqulūbukumā
your hearts;
وَإِنْwa-in
but if
تَظَاهَرَاtaẓāharā
you backup each other
عَلَيْهِʿalayhi
against him,
فَإِنَّfa-inna
then indeed,
اللَّهَl-laha
Allah,
هُوَhuwa
He
مَوْلَاهُmawlāhu
(is) his Protector,
وَجِبْرِيلُwajib'rīlu
and Jibreel,
وَصَالِحُwaṣāliḥu
and (the) righteous
الْمُؤْمِنِينَl-mu'minīna
believers,
وَالْمَلَائِكَةُwal-malāikatu
and the Angels,
بَعْدَbaʿda
after
ذَلِكَdhālika
that
ظَهِيرٌẓahīrun
(are his) assistants.
If both of you [wives] repent to God––for your hearts have deviated––[all will be well]; if you collaborate against him, [be warned that] God will aid him, as will Gabriel and all righteous believers, and the angels too will back him.

عَسَىʿasā
Perhaps
رَبُّهُrabbuhu
his Lord,
إِنْin
if
طَلَّقَكُنَّṭallaqakunna
he divorced you,
أَنْan
[that]
يُبْدِلَهُyub'dilahu
He will substitute for him
أَزْوَاجًاazwājan
wives
خَيْرًاkhayran
better
مِنْكُنَّminkunna
than you
مُسْلِمَاتٍmus'limātin
submissive,
مُؤْمِنَاتٍmu'minātin
faithful,
قَانِتَاتٍqānitātin
obedient,
تَائِبَاتٍtāibātin
repentant,
عَابِدَاتٍʿābidātin
who worship,
سَائِحَاتٍsāiḥātin
who fast,
ثَيِّبَاتٍthayyibātin
previously married
وَأَبْكَارًاwa-abkāran
and virgins.
His Lord may well replace you with better wives if the Prophet decides to divorce any of you: wives who are devoted to God, true believers, devout, who turn to Him in repentance and worship Him, given to fasting, whether previously married or virgins.

Believers, turn to God in sincere repentance. Your Lord may well cancel your bad deeds for you and admit you into Gardens graced with flowing streams, on a Day when God will not disgrace the Prophet or those who have believed with him. With their lights streaming out ahead of them and to their right, they will say, ‘Lord, perfect our lights for us and forgive us: You have power over everything.’
