1That 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. Mothers must suckle their children two whole years for one who wishes to complete the time of suckling; and on him to whom it is born its sustenance and clothing are incumbent; but in reason, for no soul shall be obliged beyond its capacity. A mother shall not be forced for her child; nor he to whom it is born for his child. And the same (is incumbent) on the heir (of the father). But if both parties wish to wean, by mutual consent and counsel, then it is no crime in them. And if ye wish to provide a wet-nurse for your children, it is no crime in you when you pay what you have promised her, in reason. Fear God, and know that God on what ye do doth look. Those of you who die and leave wives behind, let these wait by themselves for four months and ten days ; and when they have reached their prescribed D2 36 THE QUR'AN. II, 234-239. time, there is no crime in them for what they do with themselves in reason; for God of what ye do is well aware. . [235] Nor is there any crime in you for that ye make them an offer of marriage, or that ye keep it secret, in your minds. God knows that ye will remember them; but do not propose to them in secret, unless ye speak a reasonable? speech; and resolve not on the marriage tie until the Book shall reach its time?; but know that God knows what is in your souls; so beware! and know that God is forgiving and clement. It is no crime in you if ye divorce your women ere you have yet touched them, or settled for them a settlement. But provide maintenance for them; the wealthy according to his power, and the straitened in circumstances according to his power, must provide, in reason ;—a duty this upon the kind. And if ye divorce them before ye have touched them, but have already settled for them a settlement ; the half of what ye have settled, unless they remit it, or he in whose hand is the marriage tie remits it?; and that ye should remit is nearer to piety, and forget not liberality between you. Verily, God on what ye do doth look. Observe the prayers‘, and the middle prayer’, and stand ye attent before God. ? T.e. with honest intentions. * Until the time prescribed by the Qur’4n be fulfilled. 5 That is, unless the wife choose to give up a part of the half which she could claim, or the husband do the same on his part, in which case an unequal partition is lawful. * See excursus on the Rites and Ceremonies of Islam. ® Interpreted to mean either the middle or the odd one of the five.

THE CHAPTER OF THE HEIFER. 37 [240] And if ye fear, then afoot’ or on horseback ; but when ye are in safety remember God, how He taught you while yet ye did not know. Those of you who die and leave wives, should bequeath to their wives maintenance for a year, without expulsion (from their home); but if they go out, there is no crime in you for what they do of themselves, in reason; but God is mighty and wise. And divorced women should have a maintenance in reason,—a duty this on those that fear. Thus does God explain to you His signs; haply ye may understand. Dost thou not look at those who left their homes by thousands, for fear of death; and God said to them ‘ Die,’ and then He quickened them again?? Verily, God is Lord of grace to men, but most men give no thanks. [245] Fight then in God’s way, and know that God both hears and knows. Who is there that will lend to God a good loan? He will redouble it many a double; God closes His hand and holds it out, and unto Him shall ye return. Dost thou not look at the crowd of the children of Israel after Moses’ time, when they said to a prophet of theirs®, ‘ Raise up for us a king, and we will fight 1 That is, if ye are in danger, say your prayers, as best you can, on foot or horseback, not staying so as to endanger your lives. * The legend to which this alludes is variously told, but the most usually accepted version is that a number of the Israelites fled from their homes to avoid a gihad or ‘religious war,’ and were struck dead, and afterwards revived by the prophet Ezekiel’s intervention.

Then their prophet said to them, ‘Verily, God has raised up for you 74lfit! as a king;’ they said, ‘How can the kingdom be his over us; we have more right to the kingdom than he, for he has not an amplitude of wealth?’ He said, ‘Verily, God has chosen him over you, and has provided him with an extent of knowledge and of form. God gives the kingdom unto whom He will; God comprehends and knows.’ Then said to them their prophet, ‘ The sign of his kingdom is that there shall come to you the ark with the shechina? in it from your Lord, and the relics of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron left ; the angels shall bear it.’ In that is surely a sign to you if ye believe *.

And were it not for God’s repelling men one with another the earth would become spoiled ; but God is Lord of grace over the worlds. These are the signs of God, we recite them to thee in truth, for, verily, thou art of those who are sent. These apostles have we preferred one of them above another. Of them is one to whom God spake ?; and we have raised some of them degrees ; and we have given Jesus the son of Mary manifest signs, and strengthened him by the Holy Spirit. And, did God please, those who came after them would not have fought after there came to them manifest signs. But they did disagree, and of them are some who believe, and of them some who misbelieve, but, did God please, they would not have fought, for God does what He will.

Who is it that intercedes with Him save by His permission? He knows what is before them and what behind them, and they comprehend not aught of His knowledge but of what He pleases. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and it tires Him not to guard them both, for He is high and grand.
