2[215] Verily, those who believe, and those who flee!, and those who wage war? in God’s way; these may hope for God’s mercy, for God is forgiving and merciful. They will ask thee about wine? and el m4isar‘, say, ‘In them both is sin and profit to men; but the sin of both is greater than the profit of the same.’ They will ask thee what they shall expend in alms: say, ‘The surplus.’ Thus does God manifest to you His signs; haply ye may reflect on this world and the next! They will ask thee about orphans: say, ‘ To do good to them is best.’ But if ye interfere with them—they are your brethren, and God knows the evildoer from the well doer; and if God will He will surely trouble you’ Verily, God is mighty, wise. 1 In the Arabic hagard, i.e. who fled with Mohammed in his higrah or expatriation to Medina, from which the Muslim era dates. 2 The gihad, or general war of extermination against infidels, to threaten or preach which is a favourite diplomatic weapon with Mohammedan nations. 8 ‘Hamr, which is rendered ‘wine,’ includes all alcoholic and intoxicating drinks. ‘ El mfisar was a game of chance, played with arrows, the prize being a young camel, which was slaughtered and given to the poor, the price of it being paid by the losers. This distribution to the poor Mohammed speaks of as useful, but the quarrels and extravagance to which the game gave rise, he considers, overbalanced the profit. 5 le. if ye wrong orphans. II, 220-226. THE CHAPTER OF THE HEIFER. 33 [220] Wed not with idolatrous women until they believe, for surely a believing handmaid is better than an idolatrous woman, even though she please you. And wed not to idolatrous men until they believe, for a believing slave is better than an idolater, even though he please you. Those invite you to the fire, but God invites you to paradise and pardon by His permission, and makes clear His signs to men; haply they may remember. They will ask thee about menstruation: say, ‘It is a hurt.’ So keep apart from women in their menstruation, and go not near them till they be cleansed ; but when they are cleansed come in to them by where God has ordered you; verily, God loves those who turn to Him, and those who keep themselves clean. Your women are your tilth, so come into your tillage how you choose; but do a previous good act for yourselves!, and fear God, and know that ye are going to meet Him; and give good tidings unto those who do believe. Make not God the butt of your oaths, that ye will keep clear and fear and make peace amongst men, for God both hears and knows. [225] He will not catch you up? for a casual word in your oaths, but He will catch you up for what your hearts have earned; but God is forgiving and clement. Those who swear off? from their women, they must wait four months; but if they break their vow God is forgiving and merciful. 1 Either wishing for a child, or saying, ‘in the name of God,’ Baidhavi. * See note 1, p. I. [6] D 34 THE QUR'AN, II, 227-230.

Divorced women must wait for themselves three courses; and it is not lawful to them that they hide what God has created in their wombs, if they believe in God and in the last day. Their husbands will do better to take them back in that (case) if, they wish for reconciliation ; for, the same is due to them as from them ; but the men should have precedence over them. God is mighty and wise. Divorce (may happen) twice; then keep them in reason, or let them go with kindness. It is not lawful for you to take from them anything of what you have given them, unless both fear that they cannot keep within God’s bounds. So if ye fear that ye cannot keep within God’s bounds there is no crime in you both about what she ransoms herself with’. These are God’s bounds, do not transgress them; and whoso transgresses God's bounds, they it is who are unjust. [230] But if he divorce her (a third time) she shall not be lawful to him after that, until she marry another husband ; but, if he divorce her too, it is no crime in them both to come together again, if they think that they can keep within God’s bounds, These are God’s bounds which He explains to a people who know. 1 The confusion of numbers and persons is in the original. The meaning of the passage is that ‘ divorce is allowed twice only, and that on each occasion the man may take the woman back if pregnant during the next four months; that if a woman be retained after divorce she is to be treated kindly, but if she be sent away she is not to be deprived of her dowry. If, however, they feel that they cannot live together, the woman may give up a part of her dowry to induce her husband to part with her.’ II, 231-234. THE CHAPTER OF THE HEIFER. 35 When ye divorce women, and they have reached the prescribed time, then keep them kindly, or let them go in reason, but do not keep them by force to transgress ; for whoso does that, he is unjust to his own soul: and do not take God’s signs in jest; and remember God’s favours to you, and what He has sent down to you of the Book and wisdom, to admonish you thereby; and fear God, and know that God doth all things know. When ye divorce women, and they have reached their prescribed term, do not prevent them from marrying their (fresh) husbands, when they have agreed with each other reasonably. That is what he is admonished with who amongst you believes in God and in the last day. That is more pure for you and cleaner. But God knows, and ye know not.
