Surah An-Nisā (The Women) in English

1. والذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات سندخلهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها أبدا وعد الله حقا ومن أصدق من الله قيلا

   122

   But those who have faith and do righteous deeds, We will admit them into gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them forever—a true promise of Allah, and who is truer in speech than Allah?

   wa-lladhīna ʾāmanū wa-ʿamilū ṣ-ṣāliḥāti sa-nudkhiluhum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihā l-ʾanhāru khālidīna fīhā ʾabadan waʿda llāhi ḥaqqan wa-man ʾaṣdaqu mina llāhi qīlan

2. ليس بأمانيكم ولا أماني أهل الكتاب من يعمل سوءا يجز به ولا يجد له من دون الله وليا ولا نصيرا

   123

   It will be neither after your hopes nor the hopes of the People of the Book: whoever commits evil shall be requited for it, and he will not find for himself any guardian or helper besides Allah.

   laysa bi-ʾamāniyyikum wa-lā ʾamāniyyi ʾahli l-kitābi man yaʿmal sūʾan yujza bihī wa-lā yajid lahū min dūni llāhi waliyyan wa-lā naṣīran

3. ومن يعمل من الصالحات من ذكر أو أنثى وهو مؤمن فأولئك يدخلون الجنة ولا يظلمون نقيرا

   124

   And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, should he be faithful—such shall enter paradise and they will not be wronged [so much as] the speck on a date-stone.

   wa-man yaʿmal mina ṣ-ṣāliḥāti min dhakarin ʾaw ʾunthā wa-huwa muʾminun fa-ʾulāʾika yadkhulūna l-jannata wa-lā yuẓlamūna naqīran

4. ومن أحسن دينا ممن أسلم وجهه لله وهو محسن واتبع ملة إبراهيم حنيفا واتخذ الله إبراهيم خليلا

   125

   Who has a better religion than him who submits his will to Allah, being virtuous, and follows the creed of Abraham, a Hanif? And Allah took Abraham for a dedicated friend.

   wa-man ʾaḥsanu dīnan mimman ʾaslama wajhahū li-llāhi wa-huwa muḥsinun wa-ttabaʿa millata ʾibrāhīma ḥanīfan wa-ttakhadha llāhu ʾibrāhīma khalīlan

5. ولله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض وكان الله بكل شيء محيطا

   126

   To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and Allah comprehends all things.

   wa-li-llāhi mā fī s-samāwāti wa-mā fī l-ʾarḍi wa-kāna llāhu bi-kulli shayʾin muḥīṭan

6. ويستفتونك في النساء قل الله يفتيكم فيهن وما يتلى عليكم في الكتاب في يتامى النساء اللاتي لا تؤتونهن ما كتب لهن وترغبون أن تنكحوهن والمستضعفين من الولدان وأن تقوموا لليتامى بالقسط وما تفعلوا من خير فإن الله كان به عليما

   127

   They seek your ruling concerning women. Say, ‘Allah gives you a ruling concerning them and what is announced to you in the Book concerning girl orphans—whom you do not give what has been prescribed for them, and yet you desire to marry them—and about the weak among children: that you should maintain the orphans with justice, and whatever good you do, indeed Allah knows it well.

   wa-yastaftūnaka fī n-nisāʾi quli llāhu yuftīkum fīhinna wa-mā yutlā ʿalaykum fī l-kitābi fī yatāmā n-nisāʾi llātī lā tuʾtūnahunna mā kutiba lahunna wa-targhabūna ʾan tankiḥūhunna wa-l-mustaḍʿafīna mina l-wildāni wa-ʾan taqūmū li-l-yatāmā bi-l-qisṭi wa-mā tafʿalū min khayrin fa-ʾinna llāha kāna bihī ʿalīman
