| | | Al-Baqarah | Pre Ayat ← 236 | → Next Ayat | Pre Ruku ← | | 31. Provisions for Divorced Women and Widows | | → Next Ruku| |
Translation:It is no sin if you divorce your wives while you have not yet touched them or fixed any dower for them. In such a case, pay them something anyhow. A rich man should pay fairly according to his means and a poor man according to his resources, for this is an obligation on the righteous people. |

| | | Al-Baqarah | Pre Ayat ← 237 | → Next Ayat | Pre Ruku ← | | 31. Provisions for Divorced Women and Widows | | → Next Ruku| |
Translation:In case you fixed a dower for them and then divorced them before you touched them, you should pay half of the fixed dower. But there is no harm if the woman agrees to forego it or the man, in whose hands is the marriage tie, is generous enough (to pay the dower in full). And if you (men) act generously, it is akin to piety. Do not forget to show generosity in your dealings261 with one another for Allah sees what you do. |

| | | An-Nisa | Pre Ayat ← 11 | → Next Ayat | Pre Ruku ← | | 2. Law of Inheritance | | → Next Ruku| |
Translation:As regards inheritance, Allah enjoins you concerning your children that: The share of the male shall be twice that of the female. In case the heirs be more than two females, their total share shall be two-thirds of the whole and if there be only one daughter, her share shall be half of the whole. If the deceased has children, each of his parents shall get one-sixth of the whole, but if he be childless and his parents alone are his heirs, the mother shall have one-third of the whole. If the deceased has brothers and sisters also, the mother shall be entitled to one-sixth of the whole. The division of all these shares shall take place only after fulfilling the terms of the will and after the payment of the debt (if any). As regards your parents and your children, you do not know who is more beneficial to you. Allah has apportioned these shares and most surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise |

| | | An-Nisa | Pre Ayat ← 24 | → Next Ayat | Pre Ruku ← | | 4. What Women may be taken in Marriage | | → Next Ruku| |
Translation:And forbidden to you are the wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands (as prisoners of war ): this is the Law of Allah that has been prescribed for you. With the exception of the above, it has been made lawful for you to seek in marriage with your wealth any other women provided that you keep them in wedlock and not in licentiousness. Then you should pay them their dowries as an obligation for the enjoyment of conjugal relations with them. However, there is no harm if a compromise is made in the dower by mutual consent after an agreement about it; Allah is All-Knowing, All Wise. |

| | | At-Tauba | Pre Ayat ← 60 | → Next Ayat | Pre Ruku ← | | 8. The Hypocrites | | → Next Ruku| |
Translation:As a matter of fact, Zakat collections are only for the needy and the indigent, and for those who are employed to collect them and for those whose hearts are to be won over and for the ransoming of slaves and for helping the debtors66 and for the way of Allah and for the hospitality of the wayfarers. This is an obligatory duty from Allah: and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. |
