66:1
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O
ٱلنَّبِىُّ
Prophet
لِمَ
Why (do)
تُحَرِّمُ
you prohibit
مَآ
what
أَحَلَّ
has made lawful
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَكَ‌ۖ
for you
تَبۡتَغِى
seeking
مَرۡضَاتَ
(to) please
أَزۡوٰجِكَ‌ۚ
your wives
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
غَفُورٌ
(is) Oft-Forgiving
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
١
O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allāh has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
66:2
قَدۡ
Indeed
فَرَضَ
has ordained
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَكُمۡ
for you
تَحِلَّةَ
(the) dissolution
أَيۡمَـٰنِكُمۡ‌ۚ
(of) your oaths
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
مَوۡلَـٰكُمۡ‌ۖ
(is) your Protector
وَهُوَ
and He
ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
(is) the All-Knower
ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
the All-Wise
٢
Allāh has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths.1 And Allāh is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise.
66:3
وَإِذۡ
And when
أَسَرَّ
confided
ٱلنَّبِىُّ
the Prophet
إِلَىٰ
to
بَعۡضِ
one
أَزۡوٰجِهِۦ
(of) his wives
حَدِيثًا
a statement
فَلَمَّا
and when
نَبَّأَتۡ
she informed
بِهِۦ
about it
وَأَظۡهَرَهُ
and made it apparent
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
عَلَيۡهِ
to him
عَرَّفَ
he made known
بَعۡضَهُۥ
a part of it
وَأَعۡرَضَ
and avoided
عَنۢ
[of]
بَعۡضٍ‌ۖ
a part
فَلَمَّا
Then when
نَبَّأَهَا
he informed her
بِهِۦ
about it
قَالَتۡ
she said
مَنۡ
Who
أَنۢبَأَكَ
informed you
هَـٰذَا‌ۖ
this
قَالَ
He said
نَبَّأَنِىَ
Has informed me
ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
the All-Knower
ٱلۡخَبِيرُ
the All-Aware
٣
And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement; and when she informed [another] of it and Allāh showed it to him, he made known part of it and ignored a part. And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?" He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Aware."
66:4
إِن
If
تَتُوبَآ
you both turn
إِلَى
to
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
فَقَدۡ
so indeed
صَغَتۡ
(are) inclined
قُلُوبُكُمَا‌ۖ
your hearts
وَإِن
but if
تَظَـٰهَرَا
you backup each other
عَلَيۡهِ
against him
فَإِنَّ
then indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
هُوَ
He
مَوۡلَـٰهُ
(is) his Protector
وَجِبۡرِيلُ
and Jibreel
وَصَـٰلِحُ
and (the) righteous
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ‌ۖ
believers
وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ
and the Angels
بَعۡدَ
after
ذٰلِكَ
that
ظَهِيرٌ
(are his) assistants
٤
If you two [wives] repent to Allāh, [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him - then indeed Allāh is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants.
66:5
عَسَىٰ
Perhaps
رَبُّهُۥٓ
his Lord
إِن
if
طَلَّقَكُنَّ
he divorced you
أَن
[that]
يُبۡدِلَهُۥٓ
He will substitute for him
أَزۡوٰجًا
wives
خَيۡرًا
better
مِّنكُنَّ
than you
مُسۡلِمَـٰتٍ
submissive
مُّؤۡمِنَـٰتٍ
faithful
قَـٰنِتَـٰتٍ
obedient
تَـٰٓئِبَـٰتٍ
repentant
عَـٰبِدٰتٍ
who worship
سَـٰٓئِحَـٰتٍ
who fast
ثَيِّبَـٰتٍ
previously married
وَأَبۡكَارًا
and virgins
٥
Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allāh], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling1 - [ones] previously married and virgins.
66:6
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O
ٱلَّذِينَ
(you) who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
قُوٓاۡ
Protect
أَنفُسَكُمۡ
yourselves
وَأَهۡلِيكُمۡ
and your families
نَارًا
(from) a Fire
وَقُودُهَا
whose fuel
ٱلنَّاسُ
(is) people
وَٱلۡحِجَارَةُ
and stones
عَلَيۡهَا
over it
مَلَـٰٓئِكَةٌ
(are) Angels
غِلَاظٌ
stern
شِدَادٌ
severe
لَّا
not
يَعۡصُونَ
they disobey
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مَآ
(in) what
أَمَرَهُمۡ
He Commands them
وَيَفۡعَلُونَ
but they do
مَا
what
يُؤۡمَرُونَ
they are commanded
٦
O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allāh in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.
66:7
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O
ٱلَّذِينَ
(you) who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
لَا
(Do) not
تَعۡتَذِرُواۡ
make excuses
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ‌ۖ
today
إِنَّمَا
Only
تُجۡزَوۡنَ
you will be recompensed
مَا
(for) what
كُنتُمۡ
you used to
تَعۡمَلُونَ
do
٧
O you who have disbelieved, make no excuses that Day. You will only be recompensed for what you used to do.
66:8
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O
ٱلَّذِينَ
(you) who believe
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
تُوبُوٓاۡ
Turn
إِلَى
to
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
تَوۡبَةً
(in) repentance
نَّصُوحًا
sincere
عَسَىٰ
Perhaps
رَبُّكُمۡ
your Lord
أَن
will
يُكَفِّرَ
remove
عَنكُمۡ
from you
سَيِّـَٔـاتِكُمۡ
your evil deeds
وَيُدۡخِلَكُمۡ
and admit you
جَنَّـٰتٍ
(into) Gardens
تَجۡرِى
flow
مِن
from
تَحۡتِهَا
underneath it
ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ
the rivers
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
لَا
not
يُخۡزِى
will be disgraced
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
ٱلنَّبِىَّ
the Prophet
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
مَعَهُۥ‌ۖ
with him
نُورُهُمۡ
Their light
يَسۡعَىٰ
will run
بَيۡنَ
before
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
their hands
وَبِأَيۡمَـٰنِهِمۡ
and on their right
يَقُولُونَ
they will say
رَبَّنَآ
Our Lord
أَتۡمِمۡ
Perfect
لَنَا
for us
نُورَنَا
our light
وَٱغۡفِرۡ
and grant forgiveness
لَنَآ‌ۖ
to us
إِنَّكَ
Indeed, You
عَلَىٰ
(are) over
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
قَدِيرٌ
All-Powerful
٨
O you who have believed, repent to Allāh with sincere repentance. Perhaps1 your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allāh will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, "Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent."
66:9
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O
ٱلنَّبِىُّ
Prophet
جَـٰهِدِ
Strive
ٱلۡكُفَّارَ
(against) the disbelievers
وَٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقِينَ
and the hypocrites
وَٱغۡلُظۡ
and be stern
عَلَيۡهِمۡ‌ۚ
with them
وَمَأۡوَٮٰهُمۡ
And their abode
جَهَنَّمُ‌ۖ
(is) Hell
وَبِئۡسَ
and wretched is
ٱلۡمَصِيرُ
the destination
٩
O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
66:10

(of) Nuh
وَٱمۡرَأَتَ
(and the) wife
لُوطٍ‌ۖ
(of) Lut

They were
تَحۡتَ
under

two [slaves]
مِنۡ
of
عِبَادِنَا
Our slaves
صَـٰلِحَيۡنِ
righteous
فَخَانَتَاهُمَا
but they both betrayed them
فَلَمۡ
so not

they availed
عَنۡهُمَا
both of them
مِنَ
from
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
شَيۡــًٔا
(in) anything
وَقِيلَ
and it was said
ٱدۡخُلَا
Enter
ٱلنَّارَ
the Fire
مَعَ
with
ٱلدّٰخِلِينَ
those who enter
١٠
Allāh presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants but betrayed them,1 so they [i.e., those prophets] did not avail them from Allāh at all, and it was said, "Enter the Fire with those who enter."
66:11

in
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ
Paradise
وَنَجِّنِى
and save me
مِن

فِرۡعَوۡنَ
Firaun
وَعَمَلِهِۦ
and his deeds
وَنَجِّنِى
and save me
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
١١
And Allāh presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, "My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds and save me from the wrongdoing people."
66:12
وَمَرۡيَمَ
And Maryam
ٱبۡنَتَ
(the) daughter
عِمۡرٰنَ
(of) Imran
ٱلَّتِىٓ
who
أَحۡصَنَتۡ
guarded
فَرۡجَهَا
her chastity
فَنَفَخۡنَا
so We breathed
فِيهِ
into it
مِن
of
رُّوحِنَا
Our Spirit
وَصَدَّقَتۡ
And she believed
بِكَلِمَـٰتِ
(in the) Words
رَبِّهَا
(of) her Lord
وَكُتُبِهِۦ
and His Books
وَكَانَتۡ
and she was
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡقَـٰنِتِينَ
the devoutly obedient
١٢
And [the example of] Mary, the daughter of ʿImrān, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into [her garment] through Our angel [i.e., Gabriel], and she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient.
