But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise.* | |||||

| 6 | Al-Ahzab Verse 50 (33:50:39) | يَسْتَنْكِحَهَاۗ | يستنكحها | yestenkihahâ | marry her | ن ك ح |
| Yusuf Ali (English) | O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee(3741) thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers;(3742) and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom(3743) Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated(3744) (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet(3745) if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to(3746) their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess- in order that(3747) there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.(3748)* | |||||

| Yusuf Ali (English) | O ye who believe! Enter not the Prophet´s houses,- until leave is given you,-(3755) for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation: but when ye are invited, enter; and when ye have taken your meal, disperse, without seeking familiar talk. Such (behaviour) annoys the Prophet: he is ashamed to dismiss you, but Allah is not ashamed (to tell you) the truth. And when ye ask (his ladies)(3756) for anything ye want, ask them from before a screen: that makes for greater purity for your hearts and for theirs. Nor is it right for you(3757) that ye should annoy(3758) Allah's Messenger, or that ye should marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in Allah.s sight an enormity.* | |||||
| 8 | Al-Mumtahanah Verse 10 (60:10:35) | تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ | تنكحوهن | tenkihûhunne | you marry them | ن ك ح |
| Yusuf Ali (English) | O ye who believe! When there come to you believing women refugees,(5422) examine (and test) them: Allah knows best as to their Faith: if ye ascertain(5423) that they are Believers, then send them not back to the Unbelievers. They are not lawful (wives) for the Unbelievers, nor are the (Unbelievers) lawful (husbands) for them. But pay the Unbelievers what they have spent (on their dower), and there will be no blame on you if ye marry them(5424) on payment of their dower to them. But hold not to the guardianship of(5425) unbelieving women: ask for what ye have spent on their dowers, and let the (Unbelievers) ask for what they have spent (on the dowers of women who come over to you). Such is the command of Allah. He judges (with justice) between you. And Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom.* | |||||
