Translation of Verse 127-134

127. They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding women. Say, "It is Allah Who instructs you regarding them. Instruction has ˹already˺ been revealed in the Book 224 concerning the orphan women you deprive of their due rights 225 but still wish to marry, also helpless children, as well as standing up for orphans' rights. And whatever good you do is certainly well known to Allah."

128. If a woman fears indifference or neglect from her husband, there is no blame on either of them if they seek ˹fair˺ settlement, which is best. Humans are ever inclined to selfishness. 226 But if you are gracious and mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

129. You will never be able to maintain ˹emotional˺ justice between your wives-no matter how keen you are. So do not totally incline towards one leaving the other in suspense. 227 And if you do what is right and are mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

130. But if they choose to separate, Allah will enrich both of them from His bounties. And Allah is Ever-Bountiful, All-Wise.

131. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Indeed, We have commanded those given the Scripture before you, as well as you, to be mindful of Allah. But if you disobey, then ˹know that˺ to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

132. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

133. If it is His Will, He can remove you altogether, O humanity, and replace you with others. And Allah is Most Capable to do so.

134. Whoever desires the reward of this world, then ˹let them know that˺ with Allah are the rewards of this world and the Hereafter. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.


Commentary

224. This refers to verses 2-11 of this sûrah .

225. i.e., their inheritance and dowries.

226. This implies that many husbands and wives are unwilling to give the other their rights.

227. Do not leave one hanging-not fully enjoying the rights of a married woman and not fully divorced.
