Bismillah

بِسْمِ In (the) name ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ the Most Gracious ٱلرَّحِيمِ the Most Merciful

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

58:1

قَدْ Indeed سَمِعَ Allah has heard ٱللَّهُ Allah has heard قَوْلَ (the) speech ٱلَّتِى (of one) who تُجَـٰدِلُكَ disputes with you فِى concerning زَوْجِهَا her husband وَتَشْتَكِىٓ and she directs her complaint إِلَى to ٱللَّهِ Allah وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يَسْمَعُ hears تَحَاوُرَكُمَآ ۚ (the) dialogue of both of you إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah سَمِيعٌۢ (is) All-Hearer بَصِيرٌ All-Seer ١ (1)

Certainly has Allāh heard the speech of the one who argues [i.e., pleads] with you, [O Muḥammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allāh. And Allāh hears your dialogue; indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.

58:2

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يُظَـٰهِرُونَ pronounce zihar مِنكُم among you مِّن [from] نِّسَآئِهِم (to) their wives مَّا not هُنَّ they أُمَّهَـٰتِهِمْ ۖ (are) their mothers إِنْ Not أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمْ (are) their mothers إِلَّا except ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى those who وَلَدْنَهُمْ ۚ gave them birth وَإِنَّهُمْ And indeed, they لَيَقُولُونَ surely say مُنكَرًۭا an evil مِّنَ [of] ٱلْقَوْلِ [the] word وَزُورًۭا ۚ and a lie وَإِنَّ But indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَعَفُوٌّ (is) surely, Oft-Pardoning غَفُورٌۭ Oft-Forgiving ٢ (2)

Those who pronounce ẓihār among you [to separate] from their wives - they are not [consequently] their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. And indeed, they are saying an objectionable statement and a falsehood. But indeed, Allāh is Pardoning and Forgiving.

58:3

وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who يُظَـٰهِرُونَ pronounce zihar مِن [from] نِّسَآئِهِمْ (to) their wives ثُمَّ then يَعُودُونَ go back لِمَا on what قَالُوا۟ they said فَتَحْرِيرُ then freeing رَقَبَةٍۢ (of) a slave مِّن before قَبْلِ before أَن [that] يَتَمَآسَّا ۚ they touch each other ذَٰلِكُمْ That تُوعَظُونَ you are admonished بِهِۦ ۚ to it وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِمَا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do خَبِيرٌۭ (is) All-Aware ٣ (3)

And those who pronounce ẓihār from their wives and then [wish to] go back on what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allāh is Aware of what you do.

58:4

فَمَن Then whoever لَّمْ (does) not يَجِدْ find فَصِيَامُ then fasting شَهْرَيْنِ (for) two months مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ consecutively مِن before قَبْلِ before أَن [that] يَتَمَآسَّا ۖ they both touch each other فَمَن But (he) who لَّمْ not يَسْتَطِعْ is able فَإِطْعَامُ then (the) feeding سِتِّينَ (of) sixty مِسْكِينًۭا ۚ needy one(s) ذَٰلِكَ That لِتُؤْمِنُوا۟ so that you may believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۚ and His Messenger وَتِلْكَ and these حُدُودُ (are the) limits ٱللَّهِ ۗ (of) Allah وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ and for the disbelievers عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌ painful ٤ (4)

And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That is for you to believe [completely] in Allāh and His Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allāh. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.

58:5

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who يُحَآدُّونَ oppose ٱللَّهَ Allah وَرَسُولَهُۥ and His Messenger كُبِتُوا۟ (will) be disgraced كَمَا as كُبِتَ were disgraced ٱلَّذِينَ those مِن before them قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ before them وَقَدْ And certainly أَنزَلْنَآ We have sent down ءَايَـٰتٍۭ Verses بَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ ۚ clear وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ And for the disbelievers عَذَابٌۭ (is) a punishment مُّهِينٌۭ humiliating ٥ (5)

Indeed, those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger are abased as those before them were abased. And We have certainly sent down verses of clear evidence. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment

58:6

يَوْمَ (On the) Day يَبْعَثُهُمُ (when) Allah will raise them ٱللَّهُ (when) Allah will raise them جَمِيعًۭا all فَيُنَبِّئُهُم and inform them بِمَا of what عَمِلُوٓا۟ ۚ they did أَحْصَىٰهُ Allah has recorded it ٱللَّهُ Allah has recorded it وَنَسُوهُ ۚ while they forgot it وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلَىٰ (is) over كُلِّ all شَىْءٍۢ things شَهِيدٌ a Witness ٦ (6)

On the Day when Allāh will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did. Allāh had enumerated it, while they forgot it; and Allāh is, over all things, Witness.

58:7

أَلَمْ Do not تَرَ you see أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ Allah يَعْلَمُ knows مَا whatever فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَمَا and whatever فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ the earth مَا Not يَكُونُ there is مِن any نَّجْوَىٰ secret counsel ثَلَـٰثَةٍ (of) three إِلَّا but هُوَ He (is) رَابِعُهُمْ (the) fourth of them وَلَا and not خَمْسَةٍ five إِلَّا but هُوَ He (is) سَادِسُهُمْ (the) sixth of them وَلَآ and not أَدْنَىٰ less مِن than ذَٰلِكَ that وَلَآ and not أَكْثَرَ more إِلَّا but هُوَ He مَعَهُمْ (is) with them أَيْنَ wherever مَا wherever كَانُوا۟ ۖ they are ثُمَّ Then يُنَبِّئُهُم He will inform them بِمَا of what عَمِلُوا۟ they did يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ (of) the Resurrection إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah بِكُلِّ of every شَىْءٍ thing عَلِيمٌ (is) All-Knower ٧ (7)

Have you not considered that Allāh knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There are not three in a private conversation but that He is the fourth of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them - and no less than that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allāh is, of all things, Knowing.

58:8

أَلَمْ Do not تَرَ you see إِلَى [to] ٱلَّذِينَ those who نُهُوا۟ were forbidden عَنِ from ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ secret counsels ثُمَّ then يَعُودُونَ they return لِمَا to what نُهُوا۟ they were forbidden عَنْهُ from [it] وَيَتَنَـٰجَوْنَ and they hold secret counsels بِٱلْإِثْمِ for sin وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ and aggression وَمَعْصِيَتِ and disobedience ٱلرَّسُولِ (to) the Messenger وَإِذَا And when جَآءُوكَ they come to you حَيَّوْكَ they greet you بِمَا with what لَمْ not يُحَيِّكَ greets you بِهِ therewith ٱللَّهُ Allah وَيَقُولُونَ and they say فِىٓ among أَنفُسِهِمْ themselves لَوْلَا Why (does) not يُعَذِّبُنَا Allah punish us ٱللَّهُ Allah punish us بِمَا for what نَقُولُ ۚ we say حَسْبُهُمْ Sufficient (for) them جَهَنَّمُ (is) Hell يَصْلَوْنَهَا ۖ they will burn in it فَبِئْسَ and worst is ٱلْمَصِيرُ the destination ٨ (8)

Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation [i.e., ridicule and conspiracy] and then return to that which they were forbidden and converse among themselves about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to you, they greet you with that [word] by which Allāh does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why does Allāh not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the destination.

58:9

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you who believe ٱلَّذِينَ O you who believe ءَامَنُوٓا۟ O you who believe إِذَا When تَنَـٰجَيْتُمْ you hold secret counsel فَلَا then (do) not تَتَنَـٰجَوْا۟ hold secret counsel بِٱلْإِثْمِ for sin وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ and aggression وَمَعْصِيَتِ and disobedience ٱلرَّسُولِ (to) the Messenger وَتَنَـٰجَوْا۟ but hold secret counsel بِٱلْبِرِّ for righteousness وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ and piety وَٱتَّقُوا۟ And fear ٱللَّهَ Allah ٱلَّذِىٓ the One Who إِلَيْهِ to Him تُحْشَرُونَ you will be gathered ٩ (9)

O you who have believed, when you converse privately, do not converse about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger but converse about righteousness and piety. And fear Allāh, to whom you will be gathered.
