YUSUFALI:
O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which Allah has
made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL:
O Prophet! Why bannest thou that which Allah hath made lawful
for thee, seeking to please thy wives? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR:
O Prophet! why do you forbid (yourself) that which Allah
has made lawful for you; you seek to please your wives; and
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

YUSUFALI:
Allah has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of
your oaths (in some cases): and Allah is your Protector, and He is Full of
Knowledge and Wisdom.
PICKTHAL:
Allah hath made lawful for you (Muslims) absolution from your
oaths (of such a kind), and Allah is your Protector. He is the Knower, the
Wise.

066.003
YUSUFALI:
When the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of
his consorts, and she then divulged it (to another), and Allah made it known
to him, he confirmed part thereof and repudiated a part. Then when he told
her thereof, she said, "Who told thee this? "He said, "He told me Who knows
and is well-acquainted (with all things)."
PICKTHAL:
When the Prophet confided a fact unto one of his wives and
when she afterward divulged it and Allah apprised him thereof, he made
known (to her) part thereof and passed over part. And when he told it her
she said: Who hath told thee? He said: The Knower, the Aware hath told me.
SHAKIR:
And when the prophet secretly communicated a piece of
information to one of his wives-- but when she informed
(others) of it, and Allah made him to know it, he made known
part of it and avoided part; so when he informed her of it,
she said: Who informed you of this? He said: The Knowing,
the one Aware, informed me.

YUSUFALI:
If ye two turn in repentance to Him, your hearts are indeed so
inclined; But if ye back up each other against him, truly Allah is his
Protector, and Gabriel, and (every) righteous one among those who believe,-
and furthermore, the angels - will back (him) up.
PICKTHAL:
If ye twain turn unto Allah repentant, (ye have cause to do
so) for your hearts desired (the ban); and if ye aid one another against
him (Muhammad) then lo! Allah, even He, is his Protecting Friend, and
Gabriel and the righteous among the believers; and furthermore the angels
are his helpers.
SHAKIR:
If you both turn to Allah, then indeed your hearts are
already inclined (to this); and if you back up each other
against him, then surely Allah it is Who is his Guardian,
and Jibreel and -the believers that do good, and the angels
after that are the aiders.
066.005
YUSUFALI:
It may be, if he divorced you (all), that Allah will give him in
exchange consorts better than you,- who submit (their wills), who believe,
who are devout, who turn to Allah in repentance, who worship (in humility),
who travel (for Faith) and fast,- previously married or virgins.
PICKTHAL:
It may happen that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him
in your stead wives better than you, submissive (to Allah), believing,
pious, penitent, devout, inclined to fasting, widows and maids.
SHAKIR:
Maybe, his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your
place wives better than you, submissive, faithful, obedient,
penitent, adorers, fasters, widows and virgins.

YUSUFALI:
O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a
Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern
(and) severe, who flinch not (from executing) the Commands they receive
from Allah, but do (precisely) what they are commanded.
PICKTHAL:
O ye who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a
Fire whereof the fuel is men and stones, over which are set angels strong,
severe, who resist not Allah in that which He commandeth them, but do that
which they are commanded.

(They will say), "O ye Unbelievers! Make no excuses this Day!
Ye are being but requited for all that ye did!"
PICKTHAL:
(Then it will be said): O ye who disbelieve! Make no excuses
for yourselves this day. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do.
SHAKIR:
O you who disbelieve! do not urge excuses today; you
shall be rewarded only according to what you did.

O ye who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance: In the
hope that your Lord will remove from you your ills and admit you to Gardens
beneath which Rivers flow,- the Day that Allah will not permit to be

over all things."

before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our
light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things.

O Prophet! Strive hard against the Unbelievers and the
Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge
(indeed).

and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end.

Allah sets forth, for an example to the Unbelievers, the wife of
Noah and the wife of Lut: they were (respectively) under two of our
righteous servants, but they were false to their (husbands), and they
profited nothing before Allah on their account, but were told: "Enter ye the
Fire along with (others) that enter!"
PICKTHAL:
Allah citeth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of
Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of Our righteous slaves yet
betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught against Allah
and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with those who enter.
SHAKIR:
Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve the
wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut: they were both under two of
Our righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towards
them so they availed them naught against Allah, and it was
said: Enter both the fire with those who enter.

PICKTHAL:
And Allah citeth an example for those who believe: the wife of
Pharaoh when she said: My Lord! Build for me a home with thee in the

evil-doing folk;

And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and
