Verses 127-131 of Chapter 4:
They ask your
verdict concerning women. Say. `'Allah gives His verdict concerning them, and along with
it reminds you of those Commandments which have already been told you
in this Book,
that is, the Commandments concerning those orphan girls whom
you do not give their lawful rights
and whom you do not wish to marry (or. whom you yourselves
desire to marry for greed). He also reminds you of the Commandments concerning those
children who are weak and helpless. Allah enjoins you to deal justly with orphans: Allah has full
knowledge of whatever good you do. When
a woman fears ill-treatment or aversion from her husband,
there is no harm if the two make peace between themselves(by means of
a compromise); after all peace is the best thing.
Human souls are prone to narrow-mindedness, but if you show generosity and fear Allah in your dealings,
you may rest assured that Allah will be fully aware of all that you
do
it is not within your power to be perfectly equitable in your
treatment with all your wives, even if you wish to be so; therefore,
(in order to satisfy the dictates of Divine Law) do not lean wholly
towards one wife so as to leave the other in a state of suspense.
If you behave righteously and fear Allah, you will find Allah
Forgiving and Compassionate. But if the
spouses do separate, Allah will make each one of them independent of
the other by His vast powers, for His resources are limitless and He
is All-Wise and All-Knowing. And everything in the heavens and the
earth belongs to Him. We enjoined those whom We gave the Book before
you and now enjoin you also, to fear Allah in all your dealings. But
if you reject this, (you will do so at your own peril, for) Allah is
the owner of everything in the heavens and the earth: He does not
stand in need of anyone and is worthy of all praise.
