يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
O
ٱلنَّاسُ
mankind!
ٱتَّقُوا۟
Fear
رَبَّكُمُ
your Lord
ٱلَّذِى
the One Who
خَلَقَكُم
created you
مِّن
from
نَّفْسٍ
a soul
وَٰحِدَةٍ
single
وَخَلَقَ
and created
مِنْهَا
from it
زَوْجَهَا
its mate
وَبَثَّ
and dispersed
مِنْهُمَا
from both of them
رِجَالًا
men
كَثِيرًا
many
وَنِسَآءً
and women
وَٱتَّقُوا۟
And fear
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
ٱلَّذِى
(through) Whom
تَسَآءَلُونَ
you ask
بِهِۦ
[with it]
وَٱلْأَرْحَامَ
and the wombs
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
كَانَ
is
عَلَيْكُمْ
over you
رَقِيبًا
Ever-Watchful
(2)
وَءَاتُوا۟
And give
ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰٓ
(to) the orphans
أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ
their wealth
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَتَبَدَّلُوا۟
exchange
ٱلْخَبِيثَ
the bad
بِٱلطَّيِّبِ
with the good
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَأْكُلُوٓا۟
consume
أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ
their wealth
إِلَىٰٓ
with
أَمْوَٰلِكُمْ
your wealth
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed it
كَانَ
is
حُوبًا
a sin
كَبِيرًا
great
(3)
وَإِنْ
And if
خِفْتُمْ
you fear
أَلَّا
that not
تُقْسِطُوا۟
you will be able to do justice
فِى
with
ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ
the orphans
فَٱنكِحُوا۟
then marry
مَا
what
طَابَ
seems suitable
لَكُم
to you
مِّنَ
from
ٱلنِّسَآءِ
the women
مَثْنَىٰ
two
وَثُلَٰثَ
or three
وَرُبَٰعَ
or four
فَإِنْ
But if
خِفْتُمْ
you fear
أَلَّا
that not
تَعْدِلُوا۟
you can do justice
فَوَٰحِدَةً
then (marry) one
أَوْ
or
مَا
what
مَلَكَتْ
possesses
أَيْمَٰنُكُمْ
your right hand
ذَٰلِكَ
That
أَدْنَىٰٓ
(is) more appropriate
أَلَّا
that (may) not
تَعُولُوا۟
you oppress
(4)
وَءَاتُوا۟
And give
ٱلنِّسَآءَ
the women
صَدُقَٰتِهِنَّ
their dower
نِحْلَةً
graciously
فَإِن
But if
طِبْنَ
they remit
لَكُمْ
to you
عَن
of
شَىْءٍ
anything
مِّنْهُ
of it
نَفْسًا
(on their) own
فَكُلُوهُ
then eat it
هَنِيٓـًٔا
(in) satisfaction
مَّرِيٓـًٔا
(and) ease
(5)
وَلَا
And (do) not
تُؤْتُوا۟
give
ٱلسُّفَهَآءَ
the foolish
أَمْوَٰلَكُمُ
your wealth
ٱلَّتِى
which
جَعَلَ
(was) made
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
لَكُمْ
for you
قِيَٰمًا
a means of support
وَٱرْزُقُوهُمْ
(but) provide (for) them
فِيهَا
with it
وَٱكْسُوهُمْ
and clothe them
وَقُولُوا۟
and speak
لَهُمْ
to them
قَوْلًا
words
مَّعْرُوفًا
(of) kindness
(6)
وَٱبْتَلُوا۟
And test
ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ
the orphans
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَا
[when]
بَلَغُوا۟
they reach[ed]
ٱلنِّكَاحَ
(the age of) marriage
فَإِنْ
then if
ءَانَسْتُم
you perceive
مِّنْهُمْ
in them
رُشْدًا
sound judgement
فَٱدْفَعُوٓا۟
then deliver
إِلَيْهِمْ
to them
أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ
their wealth
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَأْكُلُوهَآ
eat it
إِسْرَافًا
extravagantly
وَبِدَارًا
and hastily
أَن
(fearing) that
يَكْبَرُوا۟
they will grow up
وَمَن
And whoever
كَانَ
is
غَنِيًّا
rich
فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ
then he should refrain
وَمَن
and whoever
كَانَ
is
فَقِيرًا
poor
فَلْيَأْكُلْ
then let him eat (of it)
بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ
in a fair manner
فَإِذَا
Then when
دَفَعْتُمْ
you deliver
إِلَيْهِمْ
to them
أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ
their wealth
فَأَشْهِدُوا۟
then take witnesses
عَلَيْهِمْ
on them
وَكَفَىٰ
And is sufficient
بِٱللَّهِ
Allah
حَسِيبًا
(as) a Reckoner
(7)
لِّلرِّجَالِ
For the men
نَصِيبٌ
a portion
مِّمَّا
of what
تَرَكَ
(is) left
ٱلْوَٰلِدَانِ
(by) the parents
وَٱلْأَقْرَبُونَ
and the near relatives
وَلِلنِّسَآءِ
and for the women
نَصِيبٌ
a portion
مِّمَّا
of what
تَرَكَ
(is) left
ٱلْوَٰلِدَانِ
(by) parents
وَٱلْأَقْرَبُونَ
and the near relatives
مِمَّا
of what
قَلَّ
(is) little
مِنْهُ
of it
أَوْ
or
كَثُرَ
much -
نَصِيبًا
a portion
مَّفْرُوضًا
obligatory
(8)
وَإِذَا
And when
حَضَرَ
present
ٱلْقِسْمَةَ
(at) the (time of) division
أُو۟لُوا۟
(of)
ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ
the relatives
وَٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ
and the orphans
وَٱلْمَسَٰكِينُ
and the poor
فَٱرْزُقُوهُم
then provide them
مِّنْهُ
from it
وَقُولُوا۟
and speak
لَهُمْ
to them
قَوْلًا
words
مَّعْرُوفًا
(of) kindness
(9)
وَلْيَخْشَ
And let fear
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
لَوْ
if
تَرَكُوا۟
they left
مِنْ
from
خَلْفِهِمْ
behind
ذُرِّيَّةً
offspring
ضِعَٰفًا
weak
خَافُوا۟
(and) they would have feared
عَلَيْهِمْ
about them
فَلْيَتَّقُوا۟
So let them fear
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَلْيَقُولُوا۟
and let them speak
قَوْلًا
words
سَدِيدًا
appropriate
(10)
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يَأْكُلُونَ
consume
أَمْوَٰلَ
wealth
ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ
(of) the orphans
ظُلْمًا
wrongfully
إِنَّمَا
only
يَأْكُلُونَ
they consume
فِى
in
بُطُونِهِمْ
their bellies
نَارًا
fire
وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ
and they will be burned
سَعِيرًا
(in) a Blazing Fire
