QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)
SURAH AL NISA
4:31. If you avoid the major sins that you are prohibited against, then We will cancel your existing sins and admit you to a generous entrance.
4:32. And do not envy that which Allah has graced some of you over others with. For the men is a portion of what they earned, and for the women is a portion of what they earned. And ask Allah from His grace; Allah is knowledgeable in all things..*
*[4:34.The men are to support the women with what Allah has bestowed upon them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The upright females are dutiful; keeping private the personal matters for what Allah keeps watch over. As for those females from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate from them. If they respond to you, then do not seek a way over them; Allah is Most High, Great.*
*28:77. "And seek with the provisions bestowed upon you by Allah the abode of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share in this world, and do good as Allah has done good to you. And do not seek corruption in the land. Allah does not love the corrupters."]*
*4:33. And for each We have made inheritors for what was left behind by the parents and the relatives. And those bound by your oaths, you shall give them their portion. Allah is witness over all things.*
*[4:11 -12. Allah directs you regarding the inheritance of your children: "To the male shall be as that given to two females. If they are women, more than two, then they will have two thirds of what is inherited. And if she is only one, then she will have one half. And to his parents, each one of them shall have one sixth of what is inherited, if he has a child. If he has no child and his parents are the heirs, then to his mother is one third; if he has siblings then to his mother is one sixth. All after a will is carried through or a debt. Your parents and your children, you do not know which are closer to you in benefit, a directive from Allah, for Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise."*
*And for you is half of what your wives leave behind if they have no child; but if they have a child then to you is one quarter of what they leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt. And to them is one quarter of what you leave behind if you have no child; but if you have a child then to them is one eighth of what you leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt.*
*And if a man or a woman who is being inherited has no ascendants, but has a brother or a sister, then to each one of them is one sixth, but if they are more than this then they are to share in one third. All after a will is carried through or a debt, which does not cause harm. A directive from Allah, and Allah is Knowledgeable, Compassionate.*
*4:176.They seek a ruling from you, say: "Allah gives you the ruling for those who have no ascendants. If a person passes away and has no children but has a sister, then she shall receive half of what he leaves behind; and he will inherit from her if she has no child. However, if he has two sisters, then they will receive two thirds of what he left behind; and if he has siblings, men and women, then the male shall receive twice what the female receives." Allah makes clear to you that you do not stray; Allah is aware of all things. ]*
*4:34. The men are to support the women with what Allah has bestowed upon them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The upright females are dutiful; keeping private the personal matters for what Allah keeps watch over. As for those females from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate from them. If they respond to you, then do not seek a way over them; Allah is Most High, Great.*
*[Qawwam= Protector = Maintainer = One who helps others to stand at their feet. Nushooz = Ill-treatment = Rebellion = To stand up against*
*2:259.Or the one who passed through a town which had become ruins. He said: "How can Allah possibly revive this after it had died?" So Allah put him to death for one hundred years, then He resurrected him. He said: "How long have you stayed here?" He said: "I have stayed here a day or part of a day." He said: "No, you have stayed here for one hundred years! Look at your food and drink, they have not changed, but look at your donkey! And We will make you a sign for the people; and look at the bones how We expand them, then We cover them with flesh." So when it was clear to him what happened, he said: "I now know that Allah is capable of all things!"*
*58:11. O you who believe, if you are told to make room in the assemblies, then you shall make room. Allah will then make room for you. And if you are told to leave, then leave. Allah will raise those among you who believe, and those who acquire knowledge to higher ranks. Allah is fully aware of everything you do.*
*= To stand up against virtue = Mental abuse = Domestic violence = To rebel against the permanent moral values. Wa’az = Admonishment = To apprise of consequences.*
*2:231. And if you have divorced the women, and they have reached their required interim period, then either you remain together equitably, or part ways equitably. And do not reconcile with them so you can harm them out of animosity; whoever does so is doing wrong to his soul; and do not take the revelations of Allah as mockery. And remember the blessings of Allah upon you, and what was sent down to you of the Book and the wisdom, He warns you with it. And be aware of Allah and know that Allah is knowledgeable of all things.*
*3:66. Here you have debated in what you knew; so why then do you debate in what you do not know? And Allah knows while you do not know.*
*‘Dharb’ = Example 13:17. He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manner that Allah strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that Allah puts forth the examples.*
*16:74. So do not give examples to Allah. Allah knows while you do not know.*
*36:13. And put forth for them the example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it. = To stop or prevent. 8:11. Sleep overcame you to give you tranquility from Him; and He sent down to you water from the sky to cleanse you with it and cause the affliction of the devil to leave you; and so that He may strengthen your hearts and set firm your feet. , 43:5. Shall We turn away the Reminder from you, because you are a transgressing people? = Travel = Referring to arbiters = To give examples*
*4:34. The men are to support the women with what Allah has bestowed upon them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The upright females are dutiful; keeping private the personal matters for what Allah keeps watch over. As for those females from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate from them. If they respond to you, then do not seek a way over them; Allah is Most High, Great.*
*13:17. He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manner that Allah strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that Allah puts forth the examples.*
*16:74. So do not give examples to Allah. Allah knows while you do not know.*
*36:13. And put forth for them the example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it.*
*43:58. And they said: "Our gods are better or is he?" They only put this forth to argue with you. Indeed, they are a quarrelsome people.= To withdraw. 43:5. Shall We turn away the Reminder from you, because you are a transgressing people?]*
*4:35. And if you fear a permanent rift between them, then send a judge from his family and a judge from her family. If they want to reconcile, then Allah will bring them together. Allah is Knowledgeable, Expert.*
*[2:228-234. And those divorced shall wait for three menstruation periods; and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would then have just cause to return together, if they both wish to reconcile. And the obligations owed to them are to be fulfilled, as are the obligations owed by them. But the men will have a greater responsibility over them in this. And Allah is Noble, Wise.*
*The divorce is allowed twice. So, either they remain together equitably, or they part ways with goodness. And it is not lawful for you to take back anything you have given them unless you fear that they will not uphold the boundaries of Allah. So if you fear that they will not uphold the boundaries of Allah, then there is no sin upon them for what is given back. These are the boundaries of Allah so do not transgress them. And whoever shall transgress the boundaries of Allah, then these are the wicked.*
*So if he divorces her again, then she will not be lawful for him until after she has married a different husband; if he divorces her; then there is no sin that they come back together if they think they will uphold the boundaries of Allah. These are the boundaries of Allah, He clarifies them for a people who know.*
*And if you have divorced the women, and they have reached their required interim period, then either you remain together equitably, or part ways equitably. And do not reconcile with them so you can harm them out of animosity;* *whoever does so is doing wrong to his soul; and do not take the revelations of Allah as mockery. And remember the blessings of Allah upon you, and what was sent down to you of the Book and the wisdom, He warns you with it. And be aware of Allah and know that Allah is knowledgeable of all things.*
*And if you divorce the women, and they reach their required interim period, then do not make difficulty for them if they wish to remarry their husbands if they have amicably agreed among themselves out of what is best. This is to remind any of you who believe in Allah and the Last Day, this is better for you and purer; and Allah knows while you do not know.*
*And the divorced mothers are allowed to suckle their children two full years, if they wish to complete the suckling. And the man for whom the child is born is responsible for both their provisions and clothing equitably. A soul is not burdened except with what it can bear. No mother shall be harmed because of her child, nor shall a father be harmed because of his child. And for the guardian is the same requirement. So if they wish to separate out of mutual agreement and counsel, then there is no sin upon them. And if you want to hire nursing mothers, then there is no sin upon you if you return what you have been given equitably. And be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is watching over what you do.*
*And for those of you whose lives are terminated and they leave widows behind, then their widows will have a required interim period of four months and ten. So when they reach their required interim, then there is no sin upon you for what they do with themselves in goodness. And Allah is Expert to what you do.*
*4:3. And if you fear that you cannot be just to the orphans, then you may marry those who are agreeable to you of the women: two, and three, and four. But if you fear you will not be fair, then only one, or whom you maintain by your oaths. This is best that you do not face financial hardship.*
*4:19.O you who believe, it is not lawful for you to inherit from the women by force. And do not make difficulty for them so that you may take away some of what you have given them, unless they commit a clear lewdness. And live with them in kindness. If you dislike them, then perhaps you dislike something while Allah makes in it much good.*
*4:35. And if you fear a permanent rift between them, then send a judge from his family and a judge from her family. If they want to reconcile, then Allah will bring them together. God is Knowledgeable, Expert.*
*4:128. And if a woman fears from her husband desertion or disregard, then there is no sin for them to reconcile between themselves; and reconciliation is good. And the souls are brought by need. And if you are kind and do right, then Allah is expert over what you do.*
*33:49. O you who believe, if you marry the believing females, then divorce them before having intercourse with them, then there is no interim required of them. You shall compensate them, and let them go in an amicable manner.*
*58:1. Allah has heard the woman who has argued with you regarding her husband, and she complained to Allah. And Allah hears the argument between you. Allah is Hearer, Seer.*
*65:1-4. O prophet, if any of you have divorced the women, then they should be divorced while ensuring that their required interim is fulfilled, and keep count of the interim. You shall reverence Allah your Rabb, and do not evict them from their homes, nor should they leave, unless they commit an evident immorality. And these are the boundaries of Allah.*
*And anyone who transgresses the boundaries of Allah has wronged his soul. You never know; perhaps Allah will make something come out of this.*
*Then, once the interim is fulfilled, either you remain together equitably, or part ways equitably and have it witnessed by two just people from among you;and give the testimony for Allah. This is to enlighten those who believe in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever reverences Allah, He will create a solution for him.*
*And He will provide for him whence he never expected. Anyone who puts his trust in Allah, then He suffices him. The commands of Allah will be done. Allah has decreed for everything its fate.*
*As for those who have reached menopause from your women, if you have any doubts, their interim shall be three months - as well as for those who did not menstruate. And those who are already pregnant, their interim is until they give birth. And anyone who reverences Allah, He makes his matters easy for him.]*
*4:36 And serve Allah and do not set up anything with Him, and do good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and the neighbor who is a relative, and the neighbor nearby, and the friend nearby, and the wayfarer, and those maintained by your oaths. Allah does not love the arrogant, the boastful.*
*4:37. Those who are stingy and order the people to stinginess, and they conceal what Allah has given them from His bounty. And We have prepared for the rejecters a humiliating retribution.*
*4:38. And those who spend their money to show off to the people, and they do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. And whoever has the devil as his associate, then what a miserable associate!*
*4:39. What would bother them if they believed in Allah and the Last Day and spent from the provisions of Allah? Allah is aware of them.*
*4:40 Indeed, Allah does not wrong the weight of an atom; and if it is good He will double it. And He grants from Himself a great recompense.*
*4: 41. How is it then when We bring forth from every nation a witness, and bring you as a witness over these?*
*[2:143. And as such, We have made you a balanced nation so that you may be witness over the people, and that the messenger may be witness over you. And We did not make the focal point that you became on except to distinguish who follows the messenger from those who will turn on their heels. It was a great thing indeed except for those whom Allah had guided; Allah was not to waste your belief. Allah is Merciful and Compassionate over the people.]*
*4:42. On that Day those who rejected and disobeyed the messenger will wish that the earth would swallow them; but they cannot hide any narrative from Allah.*
*4:43. O you who believe, do not come near the contact prayer while you are intoxicated, until you know what you are saying. Nor if you have had intercourse, unless traveling, until you bathe. And if you are ill, or traveling, or one of you has excreted feces, or you had sexual contact with the women, and could not find water, then you shall select from the clean soil; you shall wipe your faces and hands. Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.*
*4:44. Did you not see those who have been given a portion of the Book? They purchased straying, and they want you to stray from the path.*
*4:45. And Allah is fully aware of your enemies; and Allah is enough as a supporter, and God is enough as a victor.*
*4:46. From among those who are Jewish are some who take the words out of context, and they say: "We hear and disobey, and listen but let not any listen, and shepherd us," in a twisting of their tongues and as a mockery of the system! And had they said: "We hear and obey, and listen, and watch over us," it would have been better for them and more upright; but Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, they do not believe except very little.*
*4:47. O you who have received the Book, believe in what We have sent down authenticating what is with you, before We cast down faces and turn them on their backs or curse them as the people of the Sabbath were cursed. And the will of Allah is always done.*
*4:48. Allah does not forgive that partners be set up with Him, and He forgives other than that for whom He pleases. Whoever sets up partners with Allah has indeed invented a great sin.*
*[Ithm= A dragging violation. Shirk = Ascribing divinity to other than Allah, associating partners to Him. Included in this category of committing Shirk are those who worship their own desires.*
*45:23. Have you seen the one who took his desire as his Allah, and Allah led him astray, despite his knowledge, and He sealed his hearing and his heart, and He made a veil on his eyes? Who then can guide him after Allah? Will you not remember?, those who indulge in human worship and in sectarianism.*
*30:31. Turn to Him, and be aware of Him, and hold the contact prayer, and do not be of the polytheists.*,
*42:21. Or do they have partners who decree for them a system which has not been authorized by Allah? And if it were not for the word already given, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the transgressors will have a painful retribution.*
*, those who follow manmade books in lieu of the Book of Allah*
*6:122. Is he who was dead and to whom We gave life, and We made for him a light to walk with among the people, as he whose example is in darkness and he will not exit from it? It is such that the work of the rejecters has been adorned for them.*,
*6:137.And it was adorned for the polytheists, by their partners, to kill their children in order to turn them and to confound their system for them. Had Allah willed they would not have done this, so ignore them and what they invent. , and those who claim or believe in revelation after the Qur’an, in any form, including claims of attaining Divine knowledge through mystical experience* *6:62. Then they are returned to God, their true Patron; to Him is the judgment and He is the swiftest of reckoners., 7:173. Nor can you say: "It was our fathers who set up partners before and we were simply a progeny who came after them. Would You destroy us for what the innovators did?",*
*7:191. Do they set up those who do not create anything, while they are created?*
*And those who uphold Trinity.*
*4:171. O people of the Book, do not overstep in your system, nor say about Allah except the truth. Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfillment of His word to Mary and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say: "Trinity." Cease, for it is better for you. Allah is only One Allah, be He glorified that He should have a son! To Him is all that is in the heavens and the earth; and Allah is enough as a Caretaker.,*
*5:72. Rejecters indeed are those who have said: "Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryium." And the Messiah said: "O Children of Israel, serve Allah, my Rabb and your Rabb. Whoever sets up partners with Allah, then Allah will restrict the Paradise from him, and his destiny will be the Fire; and the wicked will have no supporters." , those who claim that Allah has a son, and those who follow their religious leaders*
*9:31. They have taken their Priests and Monks to be patrons besides Allah, and the Messiah, son of Mary, while they were only commanded to serve One Allah, there is no Allah except He, be He glorified against what they set up.*
*Such people fall from the high station of humanity. Worshiping any entity other than Allah, sinks the human ‘self’ down to subhuman levels.*
*22:31. Monotheists to Allah, not setting up anything with Him. And whoever sets up partners with Allah, then it is as if he has fallen from the sky and the birds snatch him or the wind takes him to a place far off.*
*But even most of those who claim belief and call themselves Muslims, indulge in Shirk.*
*[12:106. And most of them will not believe in Allah except while setting up partners.]*
*And most of them will not believe in Allah except while setting up partners.]*
*4: 49. Did you not see those who ascribe purity to themselves? No, it is Allah who purifies whom He wills, and they will not be wronged in the least. [2:177. Piety is not to turn your faces towards the east and the west, but pious is one who believes in God and the Last Day, and the angels, and the Book, and the prophets, and who gives money out of love to the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and those who ask, and to free the slaves; and who upholds the contact prayer, and who contributes towards purification; and those who keep their pledges when they make a pledge, and those who are patient in the face of adversity and hardship and when in despair. These are the ones who have been truthful, and these are the righteous., 13:17. He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manner that Allah strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that Allah puts forth the examples.]*
*4: 50. See, how the claimants to spiritual purity deceive people by inventing lies against Allah. That is sufficient to flagrantly drag them down in humanity.*
*4: 51. Did you not see those who were given a portion of the Book, they believe in sorcery and evil, and they say to those who rejected: "You are better guided than those who believed the path."*
*[TAAGHOOT = Any forces claiming or believed to have Divine powers = Evil humans who try to play god with their tyranny = Satan = Those who exploit people as religious leaders = Priests and Monks = Mullahs and Sufis of any religion]*
*4:52. These are the ones whom Allah has cursed, and whoever Allah curses, you will not find for him a victor.*
*4:53. Or would they have a portion of the sovereignty? If so, then they would not give the people a speck.*
*[4:124.And whoever works good, whether male or female, and is a believer, then these will be admitted to the Paradise, and they will not be wronged in the least.*
*35:13. He merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night. And He has commissioned the sun and the moon, each running for an appointed term. Such is Allah your Rabb; to Him is the sovereignty. And as for those whom you pray to besides Him, they do not possess even the shell of a seed.]*
*4:54. Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His bounty? We have given the descendants of Abraham the Book and the wisdom; We have given them a great kingship.*
*4:55. Some of them believed in it, and some of them turned away from it. In Hell will be enough flames.*
*4:56. Those who have rejected Our revelations, We will admit them to a Fire. Every time their skins are cooked, We replace them with other skins that they may taste the retribution. Allah is Noble, Wise.*
*4:57. And those who believe and do good, We will admit them to estates with rivers flowing beneath them; abiding therein eternally, in it they will have pure mates, and We will admit them to a vast shade.*
*4:58. Allah orders you to deliver anything you have been entrusted with to its owners. And if you judge between the people, then you shall judge with justice. It is always the best that Allah prescribes for you. Allah is Hearer, Seer.*
*4:59. O you who believe, obey Allah and obey the messenger(Quran) and those in authority(teaching according to the quran) among you. But if you dispute in any matter, then you shall refer it to Allah and His messenger if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for knowing.*
*4:60. Did you not see those who claimed they believed in what was sent down to you and what was sent before you? They wanted to seek judgment using evil, while they were ordered to reject it. It is the devil who wants to lead them far astray.
