Divine Legislation

تَشْرِيعٌ إِلَهِيٌّ

Divine Legislation (تَشْرِيعٌ إِلَهِيٌّ) stands at the heart of Islamic faith, affirming that Allah, the Most Wise, is the ultimate Lawgiver for all humanity. This profound principle means that comprehensive guidance for every aspect of life – personal, social, ethical, and legal – originates from divine revelation, primarily through the Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. It is a testament to Allah's immense care for creation, providing a clear path for human flourishing and righteousness. This divine framework, often referred to as Sharia, is not burdensome but a mercy, designed to establish justice, foster peace, and ensure well-being. It offers precise directives, from the [rules governing fasting] and [completing the Hajj] to [guidelines on marriage and divorce]. Even matters like [legal retribution for the murdered] and [prohibitions against wine and gambling] are meticulously addressed. Through such legislation, Allah makes clear His ordinances, inviting believers to live purposeful lives within [His set limits], seeking His pleasure and striving for a just and harmonious society.

Quran 44 verses

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقِصَاصُ فِى ٱلْقَتْلَى ٱلْحُرُّ بِٱلْحُرِّ وَٱلْعَبْدُ بِٱلْعَبْدِ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ بِٱلْأُنثَىٰ فَمَنْ عُفِىَ لَهُۥ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَىْءٌ فَٱتِّبَاعٌۢ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَآءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَٰنٍ ذَٰلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ فَمَنِ ٱعْتَدَىٰ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo kutiba alaikumul qisaasu fil qatlaa alhurru bilhurri wal'abdu bil'abdi wal unsaa bil unsaa; faman 'ufiya lahoo min akheehi shai'un fattibaa'um bilma'roofi wa adaaa'un ilaihi bi ihsaan; zaalika takhfeefum mir rahbikum wa rahmah; famani' tadaa ba'da zaalika falahoo 'azaabun aleem

O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever overlooks from his brother anything, then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment.

مومنو! تم کو مقتولوں کے بارےمیں قصاص (یعنی خون کے بدلے خون) کا حکم دیا جاتا ہے (اس طرح پر کہ) آزاد کے بدلے آزاد (مارا جائے) اور غلام کے بدلے غلام اور عورت کے بدلے عورت اور قاتل کو اس کے (مقتول) بھائی (کے قصاص میں) سے کچھ معاف کردیا جائے تو (وارث مقتول) کو پسندیدہ طریق سے (قرار داد کی) پیروی (یعنی مطالبہٴ خون بہا) کرنا اور (قاتل کو) خوش خوئی کے ساتھ ادا کرنا چاہیئے یہ پروردگار کی طرف سے تمہارے لئے آسانی اور مہربانی ہے جو اس کے بعد زیادتی کرے اس کے لئے دکھ کا عذاب ہے

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: From the brief introduction to the nature of righteousness appearing in verses before this, the text now enters into the description of related subsidiary injunctions. Under the first injunction in this connection, the verse prescribes the law of Qisas (even retaliation), that is, the killer will be...
Tafsir al-Jalalayn: O you who believe prescribed made obligatory for you is retaliation on equal terms regarding the slain both in the attributes of the one slain and in the action involved; a free man is killed for a free man and not for a slave; and a slave for a slave and a female for a female. The Sunna makes it cl...
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English): The Command and the Wisdom behind the Law of Equality Allah states: O believers!

Therefore, do not transgress the set limits, as others before you transgr...

أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ ٱلصِّيَامِ ٱلرَّفَثُ إِلَىٰ نِسَآئِكُمْ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ عَلِمَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنكُمْ فَٱلْـَٰٔنَ بَٰشِرُوهُنَّ وَٱبْتَغُوا۟ مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ ٱلْخَيْطُ ٱلْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْطِ ٱلْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ ٱلْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلصِّيَامَ إِلَى ٱلَّيْلِ وَلَا تُبَٰشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنتُمْ عَٰكِفُونَ فِى ٱلْمَسَٰجِدِ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهَا كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

Uhilla lakum laylatas Siyaamir rafasu ilaa nisaaa'ikum; hunna libaasullakum wa antum libaasullahunn; 'alimal laahu annakum kuntum takhtaanoona anfusakum fataaba 'alaikum wa 'afaa 'ankum fal'aana baashiroo hunna wabtaghoo maa katabal laahoo lakum; wa kuloo washraboo hattaa yatabaiyana lakumul khaitul abyadu minal khaitil aswadi minal fajri summa atimmus Siyaama ilal layl; wa laa tubaashiroo hunna wa antum 'aakifoona fil masaajid; tilka hudoodul laahi falaa taqraboohaa; kazaalika yubaiyinul laahu aayaatihee linnaasi la'allahum yattaqoon

It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allah has decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allah, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah make clear His ordinances to the people that they may become righteous.

روزوں کی راتوں میں تمہارے لئے اپنی عورتوں کے پاس جانا کردیا گیا ہے وہ تمہاری پوشاک ہیں اور تم ان کی پوشاک ہو خدا کو معلوم ہے کہ تم (ان کے پاس جانے سے) اپنے حق میں خیانت کرتے تھے سو اس نے تم پر مہربانی کی اور تمہاری حرکات سےدرگزرفرمائی۔اب (تم کو اختیار ہے کہ) ان سے مباشرت کرو۔ اور خدا نے جو چیز تمہارے لئے لکھ رکھی ہے (یعنی اولاد) اس کو (خدا سے) طلب کرو اور کھاؤ پیو یہاں تک کہ صبح کی سفید دھاری (رات کی) سیاہ دھاری سے الگ نظر آنے لگے۔ پھر روزہ (رکھ کر) رات تک پورا کرو اور جب تم مسجدوں میں اعتکاف بیٹھے ہو تو ان سے مباشرت نہ کرو۔ یہ خدا کی حدیں ہیں ان کے پاس نہ جانا۔ اسی طرح خدا اپنی آیتیں لوگوں کے (سمجھانے کے) لئے کھول کھول کر بیان فرماتا ہے تاکہ وہ پرہیزگار بنیں

وَأَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلْحَجَّ وَٱلْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ وَلَا تَحْلِقُوا۟ رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ ٱلْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُۥ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِۦٓ أَذًى مِّن رَّأْسِهِۦ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ فَإِذَآ أَمِنتُمْ فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِٱلْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى ٱلْحَجِّ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَٰثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِى ٱلْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن لَّمْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُهُۥ حَاضِرِى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ

And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter. And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity or sacrifice. And when you are secure, then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram. And fear Allah and know that Allah is severe in penalty.

اور خدا (کی خوشنودی) کے لئے حج اور عمرے کو پورا کرو۔ اور اگر (راستےمیں) روک لئے جاؤ تو جیسی قربانی میسر ہو (کردو) اور جب تک قربانی اپنے مقام پر نہ پہنچ جائے سر نہ منڈاؤ۔ اور اگر کوئی تم میں بیمار ہو یا اس کے سر میں کسی طرح کی تکلیف ہو تو (اگر وہ سر منڈالے تو) اس کے بدلے روزے رکھے یا صدقہ دے یا قربانی کرے پھر جب (تکلیف دور ہو کر) تم مطمئن ہوجاؤ تو جو (تم میں) حج کے وقت تک عمرے سے فائدہ اٹھانا چاہے وہ جیسی قربانی میسر ہو کرے۔ اور جس کو (قربانی) نہ ملے وہ تین روزے ایام حج میں رکھے اور سات جب واپس ہو۔ یہ پورے دس ہوئے۔ یہ حکم اس شخص کے لئے ہے جس کے اہل وعیال مکے میں نہ رہتے ہوں اور خدا سے ڈرتے رہو اور جان رکھو کہ خدا سخت عذاب دینے والا ہے

Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English): The Command to complete Hajj and `Umrah After Allah mentioned the rulings for fasting and Jihad, he explained the rituals by commanding the Muslims to complete Hajj and `Umrah, meaning, to finish the rituals of Hajj and `Umrah after one starts them. This is why Allah said afterwards: فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْ...

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allah makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought.

(اے پیغمبر) لوگ تم سے شراب اور جوئے کا حکم دریافت کرتے ہیں۔ کہہ دو کہ ان میں نقصان بڑے ہیں اور لوگوں کے لئے کچھ فائدے بھی ہیں مگر ان کے نقصان فائدوں سے کہیں زیادہ ہیں اور یہ بھی تم سے پوچھتے ہیں کہ (خدا کی راہ میں) کون سا مال خرچ کریں۔ کہہ دو کہ جو ضرورت سے زیادہ ہو۔ اس طرح خدا تمہارے لئے اپنے احکام کھول کھول کر بیان فرماتا ہے تاکہ تم سوچو

Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment. And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allah. But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allah, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allah, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah - it is those who are the wrongdoers.

طلاق (صرف) دوبار ہے (یعنی جب دو دفعہ طلاق دے دی جائے تو) پھر (عورتوں کو) یا تو بطریق شائستہ (نکاح میں) رہنے دینا یا بھلائی کے ساتھ چھوڑ دینا۔ اور یہ جائز نہیں کہ جو مہر تم ان کو دے چکے ہو اس میں سے کچھ واپس لے لو۔ ہاں اگر زن و شوہر کو خوف ہو کہ وہ خدا کی حدوں کو قائم نہیں رکھ سکیں گے تو اگر عورت (خاوند کے ہاتھ سے) رہائی پانے کے بدلے میں کچھ دے ڈالے تو دونوں پر کچھ گناہ نہیں۔ یہ خدا کی (مقرر کی ہوئی) حدیں ہیں ان سے باہر نہ نکلنا۔ اور جو لوگ خدا کی حدوں سے باہر نکل جائیں گے وہ گنہگار ہوں گے

This situation was harmful for the wife, an...

And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him. And if the latter husband divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon the woman and her former husband for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah, which He makes clear to a people who know.

پھر اگر شوہر (دو طلاقوں کے بعد تیسری) طلاق عورت کو دے دے تو اس کے بعد جب تک عورت کسی دوسرے شخص سے نکاح نہ کرلے اس (پہلے شوہر) پر حلال نہ ہوگی۔ ہاں اگر دوسرا خاوند بھی طلاق دے دے اورعورت اور پہلا خاوند پھر ایک دوسرے کی طرف رجوع کرلیں تو ان پر کچھ گناہ نہیں بشرطیکہ دونوں یقین کریں کہ خدا کی حدوں کو قائم رکھ سکیں گے اور یہ خدا کی حدیں ہیں ان کو وہ ان لوگوں کے لئے بیان فرماتا ہے جو دانش رکھتے ہیں

Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the parents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [or sisters], for his mother is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your parents or your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation [imposed] by Allah. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

خدا تمہاری اولاد کے بارے میں تم کو ارشاد فرماتا ہے کہ ایک لڑکے کا حصہ دو لڑکیوں کے حصے کے برابر ہے۔ اور اگر اولاد میت صرف لڑکیاں ہی ہوں (یعنی دو یا) دو سے زیادہ تو کل ترکے میں ان کادو تہائی۔ اور اگر صرف ایک لڑکی ہو تو اس کا حصہ نصف۔ اور میت کے ماں باپ کا یعنی دونوں میں سے ہر ایک کا ترکے میں چھٹا حصہ بشرطیکہ میت کے اولاد ہو۔ اور اگر اولاد نہ ہو اور صرف ماں باپ ہی اس کے وارث ہوں تو ایک تہائی ماں کا حصہ۔ اور اگر میت کے بھائی بھی ہوں تو ماں کا چھٹا حصہ۔ (اور یہ تقسیم ترکہ میت کی) وصیت (کی تعمیل) کے بعد جو اس نے کی ہو یا قرض کے (ادا ہونے کے بعد جو اس کے ذمے ہو عمل میں آئے گی) تم کو معلوم نہیں کہ تمہارے باپ دادؤں اور بیٹوں پوتوں میں سے فائدے کے لحاظ سے کون تم سے زیادہ قریب ہے، یہ حصے خدا کے مقرر کئے ہوئے ہیں اور خدا سب کچھ جاننے والا اور حکمت والا ہے

They request from you a [legal] ruling. Say, "Allah gives you a ruling concerning one having neither descendants nor ascendants [as heirs]." If a man dies, leaving no child but [only] a sister, she will have half of what he left. And he inherits from her if she [dies and] has no child. But if there are two sisters [or more], they will have two-thirds of what he left. If there are both brothers and sisters, the male will have the share of two females. Allah makes clear to you [His law], lest you go astray. And Allah is Knowing of all things.

(اے پیغمبر) لوگ تم سے (کلالہ کے بارے میں) حکم (خدا) دریافت کرتے ہیں کہہ دو کہ خدا کلالہ بارے میں یہ حکم دیتا ہے کہ اگر کوئی ایسا مرد مرجائے جس کے اولاد نہ ہو (اور نہ ماں باپ) اور اس کے بہن ہو تو اس کو بھائی کے ترکے میں سے آدھا حصہ ملے گا۔ اور اگر بہن مرجائے اور اس کے اولاد نہ ہو تو اس کے تمام مال کا وارث بھائی ہوگا اور اگر (مرنے والے بھائی کی) دو بہنیں ہوں تو دونوں کو بھائی کے ترکے میں سے دو تہائی۔ اور اگر بھائی اور بہن یعنی مرد اور عورتیں ملے جلے وارث ہوں تو مرد کا حصہ دو عورتوں کے برابر ہے۔ (یہ احکام) خدا تم سے اس لئے بیان فرماتا ہے کہ بھٹکتے نہ پھرو۔ اور خدا ہر چیز سے واقف ہے

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: A little after the beginning of Surah al-Nis-a', there appeared some injunctions relating to inheritance. Then, after a considerable gap, the text returned to the injunction of inheritance alongwith others. Now, at the end of the Surah, the text reverts to the subject once again. Perhaps the wisdom ...

Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.

بیشک ہم نے توریت نازل فرمائی جس میں ہدایت اور روشنی ہے اسی کے مطابق انبیاء جو (خدا کے) فرمانبردار تھے یہودیوں کو حکم دیتے رہے ہیں اور مشائخ اور علماء بھی کیونکہ وہ کتاب خدا کے نگہبان مقرر کیے گئے تھے اور اس پر گواہ تھے (یعنی حکم الہٰی کا یقین رکھتے تھے) تو تم لوگوں سے مت ڈرنا اور مجھی سے ڈرتے رہنا اور میری آیتوں کے بدلے تھوڑی سی قیمت نہ لینا اور جو خدا کے نازل فرمائے ہوئے احکام کے مطابق حکم نہ دے تو ایسے ہی لوگ کافر ہیں

And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

اور ہم نے ان لوگوں کے لیے تورات میں یہ حکم لکھ دیا تھا کہ جان کے بدلے جان اور آنکھ کے بدلے آنکھ اور ناک کے بدلے ناک اور کان کے بدلے کان اور دانت کے بدلے دانت اور سب زخموں کا اسی طرح بدلہ ہے لیکن جو شخص بدلہ معاف کر دے وہ اس کے لیے کفارہ ہوگا اور جو خدا کے نازل فرمائے ہوئے احکام کے مطابق حکم نہ دے تو ایسے ہی لوگ بےانصاف ہیں

And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.

And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allah has revealed to you. And if they turn away - then know that Allah only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient.

O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the state of ihram. And whoever of you kills it intentionally - the penalty is an equivalent from sacrificial animals to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you as an offering [to Allah] delivered to the Ka'bah, or an expiation: the feeding of needy people or the equivalent of that in fasting, that he may taste the consequence of his deed. Allah has pardoned what is past; but whoever returns [to violation], then Allah will take retribution from him. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution.

Allah has made the Ka'bah, the Sacred House, standing for the people and [has sanctified] the sacred months and the sacrificial animals and the garlands [by which they are identified]. That is so you may know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and that Allah is Knowing of all things.

And why should you not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled. And indeed do many lead [others] astray through their [own] inclinations without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord - He is most knowing of the transgressors.

Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

کہو کہ جو احکام مجھ پر نازل ہوئے ہیں ان میں کوئی چیز جسے کھانے والا کھائے حرام نہیں پاتا بجز اس کے کہ وہ مرا ہوا جانور یا بہتا لہو یا سور کا گوشت کہ یہ سب ناپاک ہیں یا کوئی گناہ کی چیز ہو کہ اس پر خدا کے سوا کسی اور کا نام لیا گیا ہو اور اگر کوئی مجبور ہو جائے لیکن نہ تو نافرمانی کرے اور نہ حد سے باہر نکل جائے تو تمہارا پروردگار بخشنے والا مہربان ہے

Say, [O Muhammad], "Bring forward your witnesses who will testify that Allah has prohibited this." And if they testify, do not testify with them. And do not follow the desires of those who deny Our verses and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, while they equate [others] with their Lord.

کہو کہ اپنے گواہوں کو لاؤ جو بتائیں کہ خدا نے یہ چیزیں حرام کی ہیں پھر اگر وہ (آ کر) گواہی دیں تو تم ان کے ساتھ گواہی نہ دینا اور نہ ان لوگوں کی خواہشوں کی پیروی کرنا جو ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلاتے ہیں اور آخرت پر ایمان نہیں لاتے اور (بتوں کو) اپنے پروردگار کے برابر ٹھہراتے ہیں

And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient."

اور ہم نے (تورات) کی تختیوں میں ان کے لیے ہر قسم کی نصیحت اور ہر چیز کی تفصیل لکھ دی پھر (ارشاد فرمایا کہ) اسے زور سے پکڑے رہو اور اپنی قوم سے بھی کہہ دو کہ ان باتوں کو جو اس میں (مندرج ہیں اور) بہت بہتر ہیں پکڑے رہیں۔ میں عنقریب تم کو نافرمان لوگوں کا گھر دکھاؤں گا

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: The last sentence is سَأُرِ‌يكُمْ دَارَ‌ الْفَاسِقِين . "I will show you the abode of the sinners".

Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them. And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous [who fear Him].

خدا کے نزدیک مہینے گنتی میں (بارہ ہیں یعنی) اس روز (سے) کہ اس نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو پیدا کیا۔ کتاب خدا میں (برس کے) بارہ مہینے (لکھے ہوئے) ہیں۔ ان میں سے چار مہینے ادب کے ہیں۔ یہی دین (کا) سیدھا راستہ ہے۔ تو ان (مہینوں) میں (قتال ناحق سے) اپنے آپ پر ظلم نہ کرنا۔ اور تم سب کے سب مشرکوں سے لڑو جیسے وہ سب کے سب تم سے لڑتے ہیں۔ اور جان رکھو کہ خدا پرہیز گاروں کے ساتھ ہے

Say, "Have you seen what Allah has sent down to you of provision of which you have made [some] lawful and [some] unlawful?" Say, "Has Allah permitted you [to do so], or do you invent [something] about Allah?"

کہو کہ بھلا دیکھو تو خدا نے تمھارے لئے جو رزق نازل فرمایا تو تم نے اس میں سے (بعض کو) حرام ٹھہرایا اور (بعض کو) حلال (ان سے) پوچھو کیا خدا نے تم کو اس کا حکم دیا ہے یا تم خدا پر افتراء کرتے ہو

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: In the third verse (59), warning has been given to people who introduce their personal opinion in the serious matter of Halal (lawful) and Haram (unlawful).

Baqiyyatul laahi khairul lakum in kuntum mu'mineen; wa maa ana 'alaikum bihafeez

What remains [lawful] from Allah is best for you, if you would be believers. But I am not a guardian over you."

اگر تم کو (میرے کہنے کا) یقین ہو تو خدا کا دیا ہوا نفع ہی تمہارے لیے بہتر ہے اور میں تمہارا نگہبان نہیں ہوں

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: Then, affectionately, he explained to them: بَقِيَّتُ اللَّـهِ خَيْرٌ‌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۚ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ Whatever is left { with you ] by Allah is better for you, if you are believers. And I am not a watchman over you - 86.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn: The remainder which is from God that provision of His which remains for you after you have given full measure and weight is better for you than fraud if you are believers; and I am not a guardian over you’ a watcher that I should requite you for your deeds I was sent only as a warner.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English): First, he (Shu`ayb) prohibited them from cheating in business by decreasing the weights whenever they gave (products) to people. He commanded them to give just measure and weight whether they were giving or receiving (in transactions). He also forbade them from causing mischief and corruption in the...

You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

جن چیزوں کی تم خدا کے سوا پرستش کرتے ہو وہ صرف نام ہی نام ہیں جو تم نے اور تمہارے باپ دادا نے رکھ لیے ہیں۔ خدا نے ان کی کوئی سند نازل نہیں کی۔ (سن رکھو کہ) خدا کے سوا کسی کی حکومت نہیں ہے۔ اس نے ارشاد فرمایا ہے کہ اس کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہ کرو۔ یہی سیدھا دین ہے لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں جانتے

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: After that, he declares his abhorrence for disbelief and his disengagement from the community of disbelievers. Then, with it, he also stresses that he is a member of the House of Prophets and it is their Community that he adheres to and that he is a scion of the House of Ibrahim, Ishaq and Ya` qub (...

Wa kazaalika anzalnaahu hukman 'Arabiyyaa; wa la'init taba'ta ahwaaa 'ahum ba'da maa jaaa'aka minal 'ilmi maa laka minal laahi minw waliyinw wa laa waaq

And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic legislation. And if you should follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against Allah any ally or any protector.

اور اسی طرح ہم نے اس قرآن کو عربی زبان کا فرمان نازل کیا ہے۔ اور اگر تم علم (ودانش) آنے کے بعد ان لوگوں کی خواہشوں کے پیچھے چلو گے تو خدا کے سامنے کوئی نہ تمہارا مددگار ہوگا اور نہ کوئی بچانے والا

The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion of Allah, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment.

O you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.

مومنو! تمہارے غلام لونڈیاں اور جو بچّے تم میں سے بلوغ کو نہیں پہنچے تین دفعہ یعنی (تین اوقات میں) تم سے اجازت لیا کریں۔ (ایک تو) نماز صبح سے پہلے اور (دوسرے گرمی کی دوپہر کو) جب تم کپڑے اتار دیتے ہو۔ اور تیسرے عشاء کی نماز کے بعد۔ (یہ) تین (وقت) تمہارے پردے (کے) ہیں ان کے (آگے) پیچھے (یعنی دوسرے وقتوں میں) نہ تم پر کچھ گناہ ہے اور نہ ان پر۔ کہ کام کاج کے لئے ایک دوسرے کے پاس آتے رہتے ہو۔ اس طرح خدا اپنی آیتیں تم سے کھول کھول کر بیان فرماتا ہے اور خدا بڑا علم والا اور بڑا حکمت والا ہے

And when the children among you reach puberty, let them ask permission [at all times] as those before them have done. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.

اور جب تمہارے لڑکے بالغ ہوجائیں تو ان کو بھی اسی طرح اجازت لینی چاہیئے جس طرح ان سے اگلے (یعنی بڑے آدمی) اجازت حاصل کرتے رہے ہیں۔ اس طرح خدا تم سے اپنی آیتیں کھول کھول کر سناتا ہے۔ اور خدا جاننے والا اور حکمت والا ہے

There is not upon the blind [any] constraint nor upon the lame constraint nor upon the ill constraint nor upon yourselves when you eat from your [own] houses or the houses of your fathers or the houses of your mothers or the houses of your brothers or the houses of your sisters or the houses of your father's brothers or the houses of your father's sisters or the houses of your mother's brothers or the houses of your mother's sisters or [from houses] whose keys you possess or [from the house] of your friend. There is no blame upon you whether you eat together or separately. But when you enter houses, give greetings of peace upon each other - a greeting from Allah, blessed and good. Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses [of ordinance] that you may understand.

نہ تو اندھے پر کچھ گناہ ہے اور نہ لنگڑے پر اور نہ بیمار پر اور نہ خود تم پر کہ اپنے گھروں سے کھانا کھاؤ یا اپنے باپوں کے گھروں سے یا اپنی ماؤں کے گھروں سے یا بھائیوں کے گھروں سے یا اپنی بہنوں کے گھروں سے یا اپنے چچاؤں کے گھروں سے یا اپنی پھوپھیوں کے گھروں سے یا اپنے ماموؤں کے گھروں سے یا اپنی خالاؤں کے گھروں سے یا اس گھر سے جس کی کنجیاں تمہارے ہاتھ میں ہوں یا اپنے دوستوں کے گھروں سے (اور اس کا بھی) تم پر کچھ گناہ نہیں کہ سب مل کر کھانا کھاؤ یا جدا جدا۔ اور جب گھروں میں جایا کرو تو اپنے (گھر والوں کو) سلام کیا کرو۔ (یہ) خدا کی طرف سے مبارک اور پاکیزہ تحفہ ہے۔ اس طرح خدا اپنی آیتیں کھول کھول کر بیان فرماتا ہے تاکہ تم سمجھو

The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers. And those of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allah than the [other] believers and the emigrants, except that you may do to your close associates a kindness [through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed.

پیغمبر مومنوں پر اُن کی جانوں سے بھی زیادہ حق رکھتے ہیں اور پیغمبر کی بیویاں اُن کی مائیں ہیں۔ اور رشتہ دار آپس میں کتاب الله کے رُو سے مسلمانوں اور مہاجروں سے ایک دوسرے (کے ترکے) کے زیادہ حقدار ہیں۔ مگر یہ کہ تم اپنے دوستوں سے احسان کرنا چاہو۔ (تو اور بات ہے) ۔ یہ حکم کتاب یعنی (قرآن) میں لکھ دیا گیا ہے

Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English): Loyalty to the Prophet ; and his wives are Mothers of the Believers Allah tells us how His Messenger is merciful and sincere towards his Ummah, and how he is closer to them than they are to themselves.

It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.

اور کسی مومن مرد اور مومن عورت کو حق نہیں ہے کہ جب خدا اور اس کا رسول کوئی امر مقرر کردیں تو وہ اس کام میں اپنا بھی کچھ اختیار سمجھیں۔ اور جو کوئی خدا اور اس کے رسول کی نافرمانی کرے وہ صریح گمراہ ہوگیا

O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

خدا ان ہی لوگوں کے ساتھ تم کو دوستی کرنے سے منع کرتا ہے جنہوں نے تم سے دین کے بارے میں لڑائی کی اور تم کو تمہارے گھروں سے نکالا اور تمہارے نکالنے میں اوروں کی مدد کی۔ تو جو لوگ ایسوں سے دوستی کریں گے وہی ظالم ہیں

O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them. Allah is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them. But give the disbelievers what they have spent. And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation. And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let them ask for what they have spent. That is the judgement of Allah; He judges between you. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

مومنو! جب تمہارے پاس مومن عورتیں وطن چھوڑ کر آئیں تو ان کی آزمائش کرلو۔ (اور) خدا تو ان کے ایمان کو خوب جانتا ہے۔ سو اگر تم کو معلوم ہو کہ مومن ہیں تو ان کو کفار کے پاس واپس نہ بھیجو۔ کہ نہ یہ ان کو حلال ہیں اور نہ وہ ان کو جائز۔ اور جو کچھ انہوں نے (ان پر) خرچ کیا ہو وہ ان کو دے دو۔ اور تم پر کچھ گناہ نہیں کہ ان عورتوں کو مہر دے کر ان سے نکاح کرلو اور کافر عورتوں کی ناموس کو قبضے میں نہ رکھو (یعنی کفار کو واپس دے دو) اور جو کچھ تم نے ان پر خرچ کیا ہو تم ان سے طلب کرلو اور جو کچھ انہوں نے (اپنی عورتوں پر) خرچ کیا ہو وہ تم سے طلب کرلیں۔ یہ خدا کا حکم ہے جو تم میں فیصلہ کئے دیتا ہے اور خدا جاننے والا حکمت والا ہے
