O MEN, FEAR your Lord who created you from a single cell, and from it created its mate, and from the two of them dispersed men and women (male and female) in multitudes. So fear God in whose name you ask of one another (the bond of) relationships. God surely keeps watch over you.
Shakir
O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind) and spread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your rights), and (to) the ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watches over you.

اے لوگو ! (ف۲) اپنے رب سے ڈرو جس نے تمہیں ایک جان سے پیدا کیا (ف۳) اور اسی میں سے اس کا جوڑا بنایا اور ان دونوں سے بہت سے مرد و عورت پھیلا دیئے اور اللہ سے ڈرو جس کے نام پر مانگتے ہو اور رشتوں کا لحاظ رکھو (ف۴) بیشک اللہ ہر وقت تمہیں دیکھ رہا ہے،
Give to the orphans their possessions, and do not replace things of your own which are bad with things which are good among theirs, and do not intermix their goods with your own and make use of them, for this is a grievous crime.
Shakir
And give to the orphans their property, and do not substitute worthless (things) for (their) good (ones), and do not devour their property (as an addition) to your own property; this is surely a great crime.

اور یتیموں کو ان کے مال دو (ف۵) اور ستھرے (ف۶) کے بدلے گندا نہ لو (ف۷) اور ان کے مال اپنے مالوں میں ملاکر نہ کھا جاؤ، بیشک یہ بڑا گناہ ہے
If you fear you cannot be equitable to orphan girls (in your charge, or misuse their persons), then marry women who are lawful for you, two, three, or four; but if you fear you cannot treat so many with equity, marry only one, or a maid or captive. This is better than being iniquitous.
Shakir
And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course.

ا ور اگر تمہیں اندیشہ ہو کہ یتیم لڑکیوں میں انصاف نہ کرو گے (ف۸) تو نکاح میں لاؤ جو عورتیں تمہیں خوش آئیں دو دو اور تین تین او ر چار چار (ف۹) پھر اگر ڈرو کہ دو بیبیوں کو برابر نہ رکھ سکو گے تو ایک ہی کرو یا کنیزیں جن کے تم مالک ہو یہ اس سے زیادہ قریب ہے کہ تم سے ظلم نہ ہو (ف۱۰)
Give to women their dowers willingly, but if they forego part of it themselves, then use it to your advantage.
Shakir
And give women their dowries as a free gift, but if they of themselves be pleased to give up to you a portion of it, then eat it with enjoyment and with wholesome result.

اور عورتوں کو ان کے مہر خوشی سے دو (ف۱۱) پھر اگر وہ اپنے دل کی خوشی سے مہر میں سے تمہیں کچھ دے دیں تو اسے کھاؤ رچتا پچتا (ف۱۲)
Do not entrust (their) property God has given you to maintain (On trust), to those who are immature; but feed them and clothe them from it, and speak to them with kindness.
Shakir
And do not give away your property which Allah has made for you a (means of) support to the weak of understanding, and maintain them out of (the profits of) it, and clothe them and speak to them words of honest advice.

اور بے عقلوں کو (ف۱۳) ان کے مال نہ دو جو تمہارے پاس ہیں جن کو اللہ نے تمہاری بسر اوقات کیا ہے اور انہیں اس میں سے کھلاؤ اور پہناؤ اور ان سے اچھی بات کہو (ف۱۴)
And test (and try) the orphans until they are of marriageable age. If you find they have acquired sound judgement, then hand over their property to them; but devour not their wealth, nor use it up hastily out of fear that soon they will grow up (and demand it). And (the guardian) who is rich should abstain from spending much (of their wealth); and he who is poor should use only as much as is fair. And when you give back their possessions have this witnessed, (and remember) that God is sufficient to take all account.
Shakir
And test the orphans until they attain puberty; then if you find in them maturity of intellect, make over to them their property, and do not consume it extravagantly and hastily, lest they attain to full age; and whoever is rich, let him abstain altogether, and whoever is poor, let him eat reasonably; then when you make over to them their property, call witnesses in their presence; and Allah is enough as a Reckoner.

اور یتیموں کو آزماتے رہو (ف۱۵) یہاں تک کہ جب وہ نکاح کے قابل ہوں تو اگر تم ان کی سمجھ ٹھیک دیکھو تو ان کے مال انہیں سپرد کردو اور انہیں نہ کھاؤ حد سے بڑھ کر اور اس جلدی میں کہ کہیں بڑے نہ ہوجائیں اور جسے حاجت نہ ہو وہ بچتا رہے (ف۱۶) اور جو حاجت مند ہو وہ بقدر مناسب کھائے، پھر جب تم ان کے مال انہیں سپرد کرو تو ان پر گواہ کرلو، اور اللہ کافی ہے حساب لینے کو،
Men have a share in what the parents and relatives leave behind at death; and women have a share in what the parents and relatives leave behind. Be it large or small a legal share is fixed.
Shakir
Men shall have a portion of what the parents and the near relatives leave, and women shall have a portion of what the parents and the near relatives leave, whether there is little or much of it; a stated portion.

مردوں کے لئے حصہ ہے اس میں سے جو چھوڑ گئے ماں باپ اور قرابت والے اور عورتوں کے لئے حصہ ہے اس میں سے جو چھوڑ گئے ماں باپ اور قرابت والے ترکہ تھوڑا ہو یا بہت، حصہ ہے اندازہ باندھا ہوا (ف۱۷)
Let people fear the day when they leave small children behind them unprovided, and how concerned they would be for them. So fear God and say the right things to them.
Shakir
And let those fear who, should they leave behind them weakly offspring, would fear on their account, so let them be careful of (their duty to) Allah, and let them speak right words.

اور ڈریں (ف۲۱) وہ لوگ اگر اپنے بعد ناتواں اولاد چھوڑتے تو ان کا کیسا انہیں خطرہ ہوتا تو چاہئے کہ اللہ سے ڈریں (ف۲۲) اور سیدھی بات کریں (ف۲۳)
As for the children, God decrees that the share of the male is equivalent to that of two females. If they consist of women only, and of them more than two, they will get two-thirds of the inheritance; but in case there is one, she will inherit one half. The parents will each inherit a sixth of the estate if it happens the deceased has left a child; but if he has left no children, and his parents are his heirs, then the mother will inherit one-third; but if he has left brothers, the mother will inherit one-sixth after payment of legacies and debts. Of parents and children you do not know who are more useful to you. These are the decrees of God who knows all and is wise.
Shakir
Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females; then if they are more than two females, they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased has left, and if there is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents, each of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if he has a child, but if he has no child and (only) his two parents inherit him, then his mother shall have the third; but if he has brothers, then his mother shall have the sixth after (the payment of) a bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt; your parents and your children, you know not which of them is the nearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah: Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.

اللہ تمہیں حکم دیتا ہے (ف۲۵) تمہاری اولاد کے بارے میں (ف۲۶) بیٹے کا حصہ دو بیٹیوں برابر ہے (ف۲۷) پھر اگر نری لڑکیاں ہوں اگرچہ دو سے اوپر (ف۲۸) تو ان کو ترکہ کی دو تہائی اور اگر ایک لڑکی ہو تو اس کا آدھا (ف۲۹) اور میت کے ماں باپ کو ہر ایک کو اس کے ترکہ سے چھٹا اگر میت کے اولاد ہو (ف۳۰) پھر اگر اس کی اولاد نہ ہو اور ماں باپ چھوڑے (ف۳۱) تو ماں کا تہا ئی پھر اگر اس کے کئی بہن بھا ئی ہو ں (ف۳۲) تو ماں کا چھٹا (ف۳۳) بعد اس و صیت کے جو کر گیا اور دین کے (ف۳۴) تمہارے باپ اور تمہارے بیٹے تم کیا جانو کہ ان میں کون تمہارے زیادہ کام آئے گا (ف۳۵) یہ حصہ باندھا ہوا ہے اللہ کی طرف سے بیشک اللہ علم والا حکمت والا ہے،
