AL TEHREEM (THE FORBIDDANCE)

Section 1

Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

[Tehreem 66:1] O dear Prophet (Mohammed � peace and blessings be upon him)! Why do you forbid for yourself the things that Allah has made lawful for you? You wish to please some of your wives; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
 

[Tehreem 66:2] Allah has ordained expiation for your oaths; and Allah is your Master; and Allah is the All Knowing, the Wise.
 

[Tehreem 66:3] And when the Holy Prophet confided a matter to one of his wives; so when she disclosed it and Allah conveyed this to the Holy Prophet, he told her part of it and held back a part; so when the Holy Prophet informed her about it, she said, �Who informed you?�; he said, �The All Knowing, the All Aware has informed me.�
 

[Tehreem 66:4] If you both, the wives of the Holy Prophet, incline towards Allah, for indeed your hearts have deviated a little; and if you come together against him (the Holy Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him) then indeed Allah is his Supporter, and Jibreel and the virtuous believers are also his aides; and in addition the angels are also his aides. (Allah has created several supporters for the believers.)
 

[Tehreem 66:5] It is likely that, if he divorces you, his Lord will give him wives better than you in your place -widows and maidens who are obedient, believing, respectful, penitent, serving and fasting.
 

[Tehreem 66:6] O People who Believe! Save yourselves and your families from the fire, the fuel of which is men and stones � appointed over it are the extremely strict angels, who do not refuse the command of Allah and carry out whatever they are commanded.
 

[Tehreem 66:7] �O disbelievers! Do not feign excuses this day; you will only be repaid what you used to do.�
