And marry

the single

among you

and the righteous

among

your male slaves

and your female slaves

If

they are

poor

Allah will enrich them

Allah will enrich them

from

His Bounty

And Allah

(is) All-Encompassing

All-Knowing

And let be chaste

those who

(do) not

find

(means for) marriage

until

Allah enriches them

Allah enriches them

from

His Bounty

And those who

seek

the writing

from (those) whom

possess

your right hands

then give them (the) writing

if

you know

in them

any good

and give them

from

the wealth of Allah

the wealth of Allah

which

He has given you

And (do) not

compel

your slave girls

to

[the] prostitution

if

they desire

chastity

that you may seek

temporary gain

(of) the life

(of) the world

And whoever

compels them

then indeed

Allah

after

after

their compulsion

(is) Oft-Forgiving

Most Merciful

And verily

We have sent down

to you

Verses

clear

and an example

of

those who

passed away

before you

before you

and an admonition

for those who fear (Allah)

Allah

(is the) Light

(of) the heavens

and the earth

(The) example

(of) His Light

(is) like a niche

in it

(is) a lamp

the lamp

(is) in

a glass

the glass

as if it were

a star

brilliant

(which) is lit

from

a tree

blessed

an olive

not

(of the) east

and not

(of the) west

would almost

its oil

glow

even if

not

touched it

fire

Light

upon

Light

Allah guides

Allah guides

to His Light

whom

He wills

And Allah sets forth

And Allah sets forth

the examples

for the mankind

And Allah

of every

thing

(is) All-Knower

In

houses

(which) Allah ordered

(which) Allah ordered

that

they be raised

and be mentioned

in them

His name

Glorify

[to] Him

in them

in the mornings

and (in) the evenings
