66:1

ﱁOﱂProphetﱃWhy (do)ﱄyou prohibitﱅwhatﱆhas made lawfulﱇAllahﱈﱉfor youﱊseekingﱋ(to) pleaseﱌﱍyour wivesﱎAnd Allahﱏ(is) Oft-ForgivingﱐMost Mercifulﱑ(1)

O Prophet! Why do you prohibit ˹yourself˺ from what Allah has made lawful to you, seeking to please your wives? And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

66:2

ﱒIndeedﱓhas ordainedﱔAllahﱕfor youﱖ(the) dissolutionﱗﱘ(of) your oathsﱙAnd Allahﱚﱛ(is) your Protectorﱜand Heﱝ(is) the All-Knowerﱞthe All-Wiseﱟ(2)

Allah has already ordained for you ˹believers˺ the way to absolve yourselves from your oaths.1 For Allah is your Guardian. And He is the All-Knowing, All-Wise.

66:3

ﱠAnd whenﱡconfidedﱢthe Prophetﱣtoﱤoneﱥ(of) his wivesﱦa statementﱧand whenﱨshe informedﱩabout itﱪand made it apparentﱫAllahﱬto himﱭhe made knownﱮa part of itﱯand avoidedﱰ[of]ﱱﱲa partﱳThen whenﱴhe informed herﱵabout itﱶshe saidﱷWhoﱸinformed youﱹﱺthisﱻHe saidﱼHas informed meﱽthe All-Knowerﱾthe All-Awareﱿ(3)

˹Remember˺ when the Prophet had ˹once˺ confided something to one of his wives, then when she disclosed it ˹to another wife˺ and Allah made it known to him, he presented ˹to her˺ part of what was disclosed and overlooked a part. So when he informed her of it, she exclaimed, “Who told you this?” He replied, “I was informed by the All-Knowing, All-Aware.”

66:4

ﲀIfﲁyou both turnﲂtoﲃAllahﲄso indeedﲅ(are) inclinedﲆﲇyour heartsﲈbut ifﲉyou backup each otherﲊagainst himﲋthen indeedﲌAllahﲍHeﲎ(is) his Protectorﲏand Jibreelﲐand (the) righteousﲑﲒbelieversﲓand the Angelsﲔafterﲕthatﲖ(are his) assistantsﲗ(4)

˹It will be better˺ if you ˹wives˺ both turn to Allah in repentance, for your hearts have certainly faltered. But if you ˹continue to˺ collaborate against him, then ˹know that˺ Allah Himself is his Guardian. And Gabriel, the righteous believers, and the angels are ˹all˺ his supporters as well.

66:5

ﲘPerhapsﲙhis Lordﲚifﲛhe divorced youﲜ[that]ﲝHe will substitute for himﲞwivesﲟbetterﲠthan youﲡsubmissiveﲢfaithfulﲣobedientﲤrepentantﲥwho worshipﲦwho fastﲧpreviously marriedﲨand virginsﲩ(5)

Perhaps, if he were to divorce you ˹all˺, his Lord would replace you with better wives who are submissive ˹to Allah˺, faithful ˹to Him˺, devout, repentant, dedicated to worship and fasting—previously married or virgins.

66:6

ﲪOﲫ(you) whoﲬbelieveﲭProtectﲮyourselvesﲯand your familiesﲰ(from) a Fireﲱwhose fuelﲲ(is) peopleﲳand stonesﲴover itﲵ(are) Angelsﲶsternﲷsevereﲸnotﲹthey disobeyﲺAllahﲻ(in) whatﲼHe Commands themﲽbut they doﲾwhatﲿthey are commandedﳀ(6)

O believers! Protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, overseen by formidable and severe angels, who never disobey whatever Allah orders—always doing as commanded.

66:7

ﳁOﳂ(you) whoﳃdisbelieveﳄ(Do) notﳅmake excusesﳆﳇtodayﳈOnlyﳉyou will be recompensedﳊ(for) whatﳋyou used toﳌdoﳍ(7)

˹The deniers will then be told,˺ “O disbelievers! Make no excuses this Day! You are only rewarded for what you used to do.”
