وَلَا
And do not
تَنكِحُوا۟
form an intimate relationship with
ٱلْمُشْرِكَٰتِ
religious women
حَتَّىٰ
until
يُؤْمِنَّ
they have conviction;
ۚ
وَلَأَمَةٌۭ
for an ordinary
مُّؤْمِنَةٌ
convinced woman is
خَيْرٌۭ
better
مِّن
than
مُّشْرِكَةٍۢ
a pagan woman
وَلَوْ
even if
أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ
she astonishes you;
ۗ
وَلَا
and do not
تُنكِحُوا۟
have intimate relations with
ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
the religious men
حَتَّىٰ
until
يُؤْمِنُوا۟
they conform;
ۚ
وَلَعَبْدٌۭ
for a slave
مُّؤْمِنٌ
who is convinced is
خَيْرٌۭ
better
مِّن
than
مُّشْرِكٍۢ
a pagan man
وَلَوْ
even if
أَعْجَبَكُمْ
he amazes you;
ۗ
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ
they are
يَدْعُونَ
those who invite
إِلَى
towards
ٱلنَّارِ
the fire,
ۖ
وَٱللَّهُ
while the One
يَدْعُوٓا۟
invites
إِلَى
towards
ٱلْجَنَّةِ
the paradise
وَٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
and forgiveness
بِإِذْنِهِۦ
through His command,
ۖ
وَيُبَيِّنُ
and He clarifies
ءَايَٰتِهِۦ
His signs
لِلنَّاسِ
for the people
لَعَلَّهُمْ
that perhaps they
يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
may think about it.

وَلَا تَنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكَٰتِ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنَّ ۚ وَلَأَمَةٌۭ مُّؤْمِنَةٌ خَيْرٌۭ مِّن مُّشْرِكَةٍۢ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تُنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ ۚ وَلَعَبْدٌۭ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌۭ مِّن مُّشْرِكٍۢ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْ ۗ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۖ وَيُبَيِّنُ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ And do not form an intimate relationship with religious women until they have conviction; for an ordinary convinced woman is better than a pagan woman even if she astonishes you; and do not have intimate relations with the religious men until they conform; for a slave who is convinced is better than a pagan man even if he amazes you; they are those who invite towards the fire, while the One invites towards the paradise and forgiveness through His command, and He clarifies His signs for the people that perhaps they may think about it.

Wed not idolatresses till they believe; for lo! a believing bondwoman is better than an idolatress though she please you; and give not your daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe, for lo! a believing slave is better than an idolater though he please you. These invite unto the Fire, and Allah inviteth unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness by His grace, and expoundeth His revelations to mankind that haply they may remember. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
Do not marry idolatresses until they embrace faith. A faithful slave girl is better than an idolatress, though she should impress you. And do not marry [your daughters] to idolaters until they embrace faith. A faithful slave is better than an idolater, though he should impress you. Those invite [others] to the Fire, but Allah invites to paradise and pardon, by His will, and He clarifies His signs for the people so that they may take admonition. - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Do not marry pagan women unless they believe in God. A believing slave girl is better than an idolater, even though the idolaters may attract you. Do not marry pagan men unless they believe in God. A believing slave is better than an idolater, even though the idolater may attract you. The pagans invite you to the fire, but God invites you to Paradise and forgiveness through His will. God shows His evidence to people so that they may take heed. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And do not marry the idolatresses until they believe, and certainly a believing maid is better than an idolatress woman, even though she should please you; and do not give (believing women) in marriage to idolaters until they believe, and certainly a believing servant is better than an idolater, even though he should please you; these invite to the fire, and Allah invites to the garden and to forgiveness by His will, and makes clear His communications to men, that they may be mindful. - Shakir, Habib
⦿
Do not marry women who associate partners with God until they believe. A believing bondwoman is better than a woman who associates partners with God, however pleasing she may appear to you. Nor give believing women in marriage to men who associate partners with God, till they have believed; a believing bondman is certainly better than a man who associates partners with God, even though he may please you. Such people call you to Hell-fire; but God calls you to Paradise and to forgiveness. He makes His messages clear to people, so that they might bear them in mind. - Wahiduddin Khan

خبردار مشرک عورتوں سے اس وقت تک نکاح نہ کرنا جب تک ایمان نہ لے آئیں کہ ایک مومن کنیز مشرک آزاد عورت سے بہتر ہے چاہے وہ تمہیں کتنی ہی بھلی معلوم ہو اورمشرکین کو بھی لڑکیاں نہ دینا جب تک مسلمان نہ ہوجائیں کہ مسلمان غلام آزاد مشرک سے بہتر ہے چاہے وہ تمہیں کتنا ہی اچھا کیوں نہ معلوم ہو. یہ مشرکین تمہیں جہّنم کی دعوت دیتے ہیں اور خدا اپنے حکم سے جنّت اورمغفرت کی دعوت دیتا ہے اور اپنی آیتوں کو واضح کرکے بیان کرتاہے کہ شاید یہ لوگ سمجھ سکیں - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
تم مشرک عورتوں سے ہرگز نکاح نہ کرنا، جب تک کہ وہ ایمان نہ لے آئیں ایک مومن لونڈی مشرک شریف زادی سے بہتر ہے، اگرچہ وہ تمہیں بہت پسند ہو اور اپنی عورتوں کے نکاح مشرک مردوں سے کبھی نہ کرنا، جب تک کہ وہ ایمان نہ لے آئیں ایک مومن غلام مشرک شریف سے بہتر ہے اگرچہ وہ تمہیں بہت پسند ہو یہ لوگ تمہیں آگ کی طرف بلاتے ہیں اور اللہ اپنے اذن سے تم کو جنت اور مغفرت کی طرف بلاتا ہے، اور وہ اپنے احکام واضح طور پر لوگوں کے سامنے بیان کرتا ہے، توقع ہے کہ وہ سبق لیں گے اور نصیحت قبول کریں گے - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور شرک والی عورتوں سے نکاح نہ کرو جب تک مسلمان نہ ہوجائیں اور بیشک مسلمان لونڈی مشرکہ سے اچھی ہے اگرچہ وہ تمہیں بھاتی ہو اور مشرکوں کے نکاح میں نہ دو جب تک وہ ایمان نہ لائیں اور بیشک مسلمان غلام مشرک سے اچھا ہے اگرچہ وہ تمہیں بھاتا ہو، وہ دوزخ کی طرف بلاتے ہیں اور اللہ جنت اور بخشش کی طرف بلاتا ہے اپنے حکم سے اور اپنی آیتیں لوگوں کے لئے بیان کرتا ہے کہ کہیں وہ نصیحت مانیں، - Ahmed Raza
⦿
(اے مسلمانو!) خبردار مشرک عورتوں سے اس وقت تک نکاح نہ کرو۔ جب تک وہ ایمان نہ لے آئیں۔ (کیونکہ) ایک مؤمنہ کنیز مشرکہ (آزاد عورت) سے اچھی ہے اگرچہ (حسن و جمال میں) تمہیں کتنی ہی بھلی معلوم ہو۔ اور مشرک مردوں کے نکاح میں اس وقت تک نہ دو جب تک وہ ایمان نہ لے آئیں۔ بے شک مسلمان غلام مشرک (آزاد شوہر) سے بہتر ہے۔ اگرچہ وہ (مشرک) تمہیں کتنا ہی بھلا معلوم ہو۔ یہ لوگ تمہیں آگ کی طرف بلاتے ہیں اور خدا اپنے حکم سے (تمہیں) جنت اور مغفرت (بخشش) کی طرف بلاتا ہے۔ اور اپنے احکام کو لوگوں کے سامنے واضح طور پر بیان کرتا ہے تاکہ وہ نصیحت قبول کریں (اثر لیں)۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
