Translation of Verse 8-12

8. O believers! Turn to Allah in sincere repentance, so your Lord may absolve you of your sins and admit you into Gardens, under which rivers flow, on the Day Allah will not disgrace the Prophet or the believers with him. Their light will shine ahead of them and on their right. They will say, "Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us. ˹For˺ You are truly Most Capable of everything."

9. O Prophet! Struggle against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be firm with them. Hell will be their home. What an evil destination!

10. Allah sets forth an example for the disbelievers: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. Each was married to one of Our righteous servants, yet betrayed them. ¹²¹² So their husbands were of no benefit to them against Allah whatsoever. Both were told, "Enter the Fire, along with the others!"

11. And Allah sets forth an example for the believers: the wife of Pharaoh, who prayed, "My Lord! Build me a house in Paradise near You, deliver me from Pharaoh and his ˹evil˺ doing, and save me from the wrongdoing people."

12. ˹There is˺ also ˹the example of˺ Mary, the daughter of 'Imrân, who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her ˹womb˺ through Our angel ˹Gabriel˺. ¹²¹³ She testified to the words of her Lord and His Scriptures, and was one of the ˹sincerely˺ devout.

Commentary

1212. Both wives were disbelievers. Noah's wife used to give away the identity of the new believers so the disbelievers could persecute them. And Lot's wife used to tell the men about her husband's handsome male visitors so they could approach them.

1213. Gabriel breathed into the sleeves of Mary's garment so she conceived Jesus ( ﷺ ) .
