"O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear God, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed God is ever, over you, an Observer."— Sahih Intl
"And give to the orphans their proper- ties and do not substitute the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs]. And do not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is ever a great sin."— Sahih Intl
"And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hands possesses [i.e., slaves]. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to in- justice]."— Sahih Intl
"And do not give the weak-minded your property, which God has made a means of sustenance for you, but pro- vide for them with it and clothe them and speak to them words of appropri- ate kindness."— Sahih Intl
"And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judge- ment, release their property to them. And do not consume it excessively and quickly, [anticipating] that they will grow up. And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient should re- frain [from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let him take according to what is acceptable. Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And sufficient is God as Accountant."— Sahih Intl
"For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for wom- en is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much - an obligatory share."— Sahih Intl
"And when [other] relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the [time of] division, then provide for them [something] out of it [i.e., the estate] and speak to them words of appropri- ate kindness."— Sahih Intl
"Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire. And they will be burned in a Blaze [i.e., Hellfire]."— Sahih Intl
"God instructs you concerning your children [i.e., their portions of inherit- ance]: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one’s estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one’s parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the par- ents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [and/or sisters], for his moth- er is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your par- ents or your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation [imposed] by God. Indeed, God is ever Knowing and Wise."— Sahih Intl
"And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they have a child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they [may have] made or debt. And for them [i.e., the wives] is one fourth if you leave no child. But if you leave a child,"— Sahih Intl
"These are the limits [set by] God, and whoever obeys God and His Messenger will be admitted by Him to gardens [in Paradise] under which rivers flow, abid- ing eternally therein; and that is the great attainment."— Sahih Intl
"And whoever disobeys God and His Messenger and transgresses His limits - He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment."— Sahih Intl
"Those who commit immorality [i.e., unlawful sexual intercourse] of your women - bring against them four [wit- nesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine them [i.e., the guilty women] to houses until death takes them or God ordains for them [anoth- er] way."— Sahih Intl
"And the two who commit it [i.e., un- lawful sexual intercourse] among you -- punish [i.e., dishonour] them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, God is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful."— Sahih Intl
"The repentance accepted by God is only for those who do wrong in ignor- ance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to whom God will turn in forgiveness, and God is ev- er Knowing and Wise."— Sahih Intl
"But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, “Indeed, I have repented now,” or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, it is not law- ful for you to inherit women by com- pulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality [i.e., adul- tery]. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and God makes therein much good."— Sahih Intl
"But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin?"— Sahih Intl
"And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to God] and was evil as a way."— Sahih Intl
"Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sis- ters, your father’s sisters, your mother’s sisters, your brother’s daughters, your sister’s daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives’ mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, God is ever Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl
"And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess. [This is] the decree of God upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual inter- course. So for whatever you enjoy [of"— Sahih Intl
"And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. And God is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their people and give them their due com- pensation [i.e., mahr] according to what is acceptable. [They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers. But once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free [unmarried] women. This [allowance] is for him among you who fears affliction [i.e., sin], but to be patient is better for you. And God is Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl
"God wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and guide you to the [good] practices of those be- fore you and to accept your repentance. And God is Knowing and Wise."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, do not con- sume one another’s wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, God is to you ev- er Merciful."— Sahih Intl
"If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise]."— Sahih Intl
"And do not wish for that by which God has made some of you exceed others. For men is a share of what they have earned, and for women is a share of what they have earned. And ask God of His bounty. Indeed God is ever, of all things, Knowing."— Sahih Intl
"And for all, We have made heirs to what is left by parents and relatives. And to those whom your oaths have bound [to you] - give them their share. Indeed God is ever, over all things, a Witness."— Sahih Intl
"Men are in charge of women by [right of] what God has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly ob- edient, guarding in [the husband’s] ab- sence what God would have them"— Sahih Intl
"And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, God will cause it between them. Indeed, God is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things]."— Sahih Intl
"Worship God and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, God does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful,"— Sahih Intl
"Who are stingy and enjoin upon [other] people stinginess and conceal what God has given them of His bounty - and We have prepared for the disbe- lievers a humiliating punishment -"— Sahih Intl
"And [also] those who spend of their wealth to be seen by the people and be- lieve not in God nor in the Last Day. And he to whom Satan is a companion - then evil is he as a companion."— Sahih Intl
"Indeed, God does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom’s weight; while if there is a good deed, He mul- tiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward."— Sahih Intl
"That Day, those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger will wish they could be covered by the earth. And they will not conceal from God a [sin- gle] statement."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, do not ap- proach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janābah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], un- til you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of reliev- ing himself or you have contacted women [i.e., had sexual intercourse] and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, God is ever Pardoning and Forgiving."— Sahih Intl

"Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and say, “We hear and disobey” and “Hear but be not heard” and “Rā’inā,”164 twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], “We hear and obey” and “Wait for us [to understand],” it would have been better for them and more suitable. But God has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, ex- cept for a few."— Sahih Intl
"O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath- breakers. And ever is the matter [i.e., decree] of God accomplished."— Sahih Intl
"Indeed, God does not forgive associa- tion with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with God has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin."— Sahih Intl
"Have you not seen those who claim themselves to be pure? Rather, God purifies whom He wills, and injustice is not done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]."— Sahih Intl
"Or do they envy people for what God has given them of His bounty? But We had already given the family of Abra- ham the Scripture and wisdom and conferred upon them a great kingdom."— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, obey God and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disag- ree over anything, refer it to God and the Messenger, if you should believe in God and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result."— Sahih Intl
"Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was re- vealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to tāghūt, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray."— Sahih Intl
"And when it is said to them, “Come to what God has revealed and to the Mes- senger,” you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion."— Sahih Intl
"So how [will it be] when disaster strikes them because of what their hands have put forth and then they come to you swearing by God, “We intended noth- ing but good conduct and accommoda- tion.”"— Sahih Intl

"But no, by your Lord, they will not [tru- ly] believe until they make you, [O Mu- hammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no dis- comfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission."— Sahih Intl
"And if We had decreed upon them, “Kill yourselves” or “Leave your homes,” they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for them and a firmer position [for them in faith]."— Sahih Intl
"And whoever obeys God and the Mes- senger - those will be with the ones upon whom God has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions."— Sahih Intl

"Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of tāghūt. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak."— Sahih Intl
"Have you not seen those who were told, “Restrain your hands [from fight- ing] and establish prayer and give zakāh?” But then when fighting was ordained for them, at once a party of them feared men as they fear God or with [even] greater fear. They said, “Our Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If only You had postponed [it for] us for a short time.” Say, “The enjoyment of this world is lit- tle, and the Hereafter is better for he who fears God.

"But God bears witness to that which He has revealed to you. He has sent it down with His knowledge, and the an- gels bear witness [as well]. And suffi- cient is God as Witness."— Sahih Intl
"O mankind, the Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe; it is better for you. But if you disbelieve - then indeed, to God be- longs whatever is in the heavens and earth. And ever is God Knowing and Wise."— Sahih Intl
"O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about God except the truth. The Mes- siah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of God and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in God and His messengers. And do not say, “Three”; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, God is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him be- longs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is God as Disposer of affairs."— Sahih Intl
"Never would the Messiah disdain to be a servant of God, nor would the angels near [to Him]. And whoever disdains His worship and is arrogant - He will gather them to Himself all together."— Sahih Intl
"And as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards and grant them extra from His bounty. But as for those who disdained and were arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment, and they will not find for themselves besides God any protector or helper."— Sahih Intl
"So those who believe in God and hold fast to Him - He will admit them to mercy from Himself and bounty and guide them to Himself on a straight path."— Sahih Intl
