In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

 1. Allah indeed knows the plea of her who pleads with you 
 about her husband and complains to Allah, and Allah knows 
 the contentions of both of you; surely Allah is Hearing, 
 Seeing.

 2. (As for) those of you who put away their wives by 
 likening their backs to the backs of their mothers, they are 
 not their mothers; their mothers are no others than those 
 who gave them
 birth; and most surely they utter a hateful word and a 
 falsehood and most surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.

 3. And (as for) those who put away their wives by likening 
 their backs to the backs of their mothers then would recall 
 what they said, they should free a captive before they touch 
 each other; to that you are admonished (to conform); and 
 Allah is Aware of what you do.

 4. But whoever has not the means, let him fast for two 
 months successively before they touch each other; then as 
 for him who is not able, let him feed sixty needy ones; that 
 is in order that you may have faith in Allah and His 
 Apostle, and these are Allah's limits, and the unbelievers 
 shall have a painful punishment.

 5. Surely those who act in opposition to Allah and His 
 Apostle shall be laid down prostrate as those before them 
 were laid down prostrate; and indeed We have revealed clear 
 communications, and the unbelievers shall have an abasing 
 chastisement.

 6. On the day when Allah will raise them up all together, 
 then inform them of what they did: Allah has recorded it 
 while they have forgotten it; and Allah is a witness of all 
 things.

 7. Do you not see that Allah knows whatever is in the 
 heavens and whatever is in the earth? Nowhere is there a 
 secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of 
 them, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor 
 less than that nor more but He is with them wheresoever they 
 are; then He will inform them of what they did on the day of 
 resurrection: surely Allah is Cognizant of all things.

 8. Have you not seen those who are forbidden secret 
 counsels, then they return to what they are forbidden, and 
 they hold secret counsels for sin and revolt and 
 disobedience to the Apostle, and when they come to you they 
 greet you with a greeting with which Allah does not greet 
 you, and they say in themselves: Why does not Allah punish 
 us for what we say? Hell is enough for them; they shall 
 enter it, and evil is the resort.

 9. O you who believe! when you confer together in private, 
 do not give to each other counsel of sin and revolt and 
 disobedience to the Apostle, and give to each other counsel 
 of goodness and guarding (against evil); and be careful of 
 (your duty to) Allah, to Whom you shall be gathered 
 together.

 10. Secret counsels are only (the work) of the Shaitan that 
 he may cause to grieve those who believe, and he cannot hurt 
 them in the least except with Allah's permission, and on 
 Allah let the believers rely.

 11. O you who believe! when it is said to you, Make room in 
 (your) assemblies, then make ample room, Allah will give you 
 ample, and when it is said: Rise up, then rise up. Allah 
 will exalt those of you who believe, and those who are given 
 knowledge, in high degrees; and Allah is Aware of what you 
 do.

 12. O you who believe! when you consult the Apostle, then 
 offer something in charity before your consultation; that is 
 better for you and purer; but if you do not find, then 
 surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

 13. Do you fear that you will not (be able to) give in 
 charity before your consultation? So when you do not do it 
 and Allah has turned to you (mercifully), then keep up 
 prayer and pay the poor-rate and obey Allah and His Apostle; 
 and Allah is Aware of what you do.

 14. Have you not seen those who befriend a people with whom 
 Allah is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them, and 
 they swear falsely while they know.

 15. Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment; surely 
 what they do is evil.

 16. They make their oaths to serve as a cover so they turn 
 away from Allah's way; therefore they shall have an abasing 
 chastisement.

 17. Neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them 
 aught against Allah; they are the inmates of the fire, 
 therein they shall abide.

 18. On the day that Allah will raise them up all, then they 
 will swear to Him as they swear to you, and they think that 
 they have something; now surely they are the liars.

 19. The Shaitan has gained the mastery over them, so he has 
 made them forget the remembrance of Allah; they are the 
 Shaitan's party; now surely the Shaitan's party are the 
 losers.

 20. Surely (as for) those who are in opposition to Allah and 
 His Apostle; they shall be among the most abased.

 21. Allah has written down: I will most certainly prevail, I

 and My apostles; surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.

 22. You shall not find a people who believe in Allah and the 
 latter day befriending those who act in opposition to Allah 
 and His Apostle, even though they were their (own) fathers, 
 or their sons, or their brothers, or their kinsfolk; these 
 are they into whose hearts He has impressed faith, and whom 
 He has strengthened with an inspiration from Him: and He 
 will cause them to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, 
 abiding therein; Allah is well-pleased with them and they 
 are well-pleased with Him these are Allah's party: now 
 surely the party of Allah are the successful ones.
