Not it is allowed to you that you inherit the females coercively; and do not create obstacles in their way of going away with part of what has been given to them, except that they produce with vulgarity that is clear; and reside with them with known articulation, thus if you feel aversion for them then perhaps that they (as well) feel aversed of a thing, and has placed the One in it betterment a many.

⦿
O ye who believe! It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the women (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them, unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness. But consort with them in kindness, for if ye hate them it may happen that ye hate a thing wherein Allah hath placed much good.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
O you who have faith! It is not lawful for you to inherit women forcibly, and do not press them to take away part of what you have given them, unless they commit a gross indecency. Consort with them in an honourable manner; and should you dislike them, maybe you dislike something while Allah invests it with an abundant good.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Believers, it is not lawful for you to inherit women against their will as part of the legacy. Do not create difficulties for your wives in order to force them to give-up part of what you had given to them to set themselves free from the bond of marriage, unless they have clearly committed adultery. Always treat them reasonably. If you dislike them, you could be disliking that which God has filled with abundant good.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
O you who believe! it is not lawful for you that you should take women as heritage against (their) will, and do not straiten them in order that you may take part of what you have given them, unless they are guilty of manifest indecency, and treat them kindly; then if you hate them, it may be that you dislike a thing while Allah has placed abundant good in it.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
Believers, it is not lawful for you to inherit women against their will, nor should you detain them wrongfully, so that you may take away a part of what you have given them, unless they are guilty of something clearly outrageous. Live with them in accordance with what is fair and kind; if you dislike them, it may be that you dislike something which God might make a source of abundant good.

اے ایمان والو تمہارے لئے جائز نہیں ہے کہ جبرا عورتوں کے وارث بن جاؤ اور خبردار انہیں منع بھی نہ کرو کہ جو کچھ ان کو دے دیا ہے اس کا کچھ حصہّ لے لو مگر یہ کہ واضح طور پر بدکاری کریں اور ان کے ساتھ نیک برتاؤ کرو اب اگر تم انہیں ناپسند بھی کرتے ہو تو ہوسکتا ہے کہ تم کسی چیز کو ناپسند کرتے ہو اور خدا اسی میں خیر کثیر قرار دے دے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، تمہارے لیے یہ حلال نہیں ہے کہ زبردستی عورتوں کے وارث بن بیٹھو اور نہ یہ حلال ہے کہ انہیں تنگ کر کے اُس مہر کا کچھ حصہ اڑا لینے کی کوشش کرو جو تم انہیں دے چکے ہو ہاں اگر وہ کسی صریح بد چلنی کی مرتکب ہو ں (تو ضرور تمہیں تنگ کرنے کا حق ہے) ان کے ساتھ بھلے طریقہ سے زندگی بسر کرو اگر وہ تمہیں ناپسند ہوں تو ہو سکتا ہے کہ ایک چیز تمہیں پسند نہ ہو مگر اللہ نے اُسی میں بہت کچھ بھلائی رکھ دی ہو
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اے ایمان والو! تمہیں حلال نہیں کہ عورتوں کے وارث بن جاؤ زبردستی اور عورتوں کو روکو نہیں اس نیت سے کہ جو مہر ان کو دیا تھا اس میں سے کچھ لے لو مگر اس صورت میں کہ صریح بے حیا ئی کا کام کریں اور ان سے اچھا برتاؤ کرو پھر اگر وہ تمہیں پسند نہ آئیں تو قریب ہے کہ کوئی چیز تمہیں ناپسند ہو اور اللہ اس میں بہت بھلائی رکھے
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اے ایمان والو! تمہارے لئے حلال نہیں ہے۔ کہ تم زبردستی عورتوں کے وارث بن جاؤ۔ اور نہ یہ جائز ہے۔ کہ ان پر سختی کرو اور روکے رکھو تاکہ جو کچھ تم نے (جہیز وغیرہ) انہیں دیا ہے اس میں سے کچھ حصہ لے اڑو مگر یہ کہ وہ صریح بدکاری کا ارتکاب کریں (کہ اس صورت میں سختی جائز ہے) اور عورتوں کے ساتھ عمدہ طریقہ سے زندگی گزارو۔ اور اگر تم انہیں ناپسند کرتے ہو تو ہو سکتا ہے کہ ایک چیز تمہیں پسند نہ ہو۔ مگر اللہ نے اس میں بہت کچھ بھلائی رکھ دی ہو۔

This website is a work of passion. It exists only for a couple of reasons:

1) I wanted to understand the Book without involving any second-party sources of guidance i.e. exegesis, or Asbab-e-Nuzul, or extra-Quranic ahadith, etc.
2) You must also know what the bare truth is, so we can work together.

Because the process must be transparent, the entire website is available for you to download. You can go through the code, and if you can make any improvements to this process, you are most welcome to. It is a humble request to update me regarding the improvements so I can also update myself.




Due Credits:

This website was possible by help of many people and forums who helped me to learn Arabic, Philosophy, Law, Psychology, and PHP and other Web scripts. To be honest, I do not even know the names of many but I did learn from them. Some of these people were already dead by the time I read their input.

The entire code of this website is available for the same reason, that what they taught me, I can only pay it forward.


The Arabic text of the Quran was obtained from Tanzil. The additional translations were also obtained from Tanzil from this link.

The social-sharing images of verses were obtained from Legacy Quran.com, and were then resized for proper social-media display.
