into agreements, let them, too, have their due.Allah bears witness to all
things.
Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one
superior to the others, and because they spend their wealth to maintain
them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen (parts)
because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear
disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat
them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Allah
is High, Supreme.
If you fear a breach between a man and his wife, appoint an arbiter
from his people and another from hers. If they wish to be reconciled,
Allahwill bring them together again.Allah is Knowing,Wise.
Serve Allah and associate none with Him. Show kindness to your
parents and your kindred, to the orphans and to the needy, to your near
and distant neighbours, to your fellow-travellers, to the wayfarers, and
to the slaves whom you own. Allah does not love arrogant and boastful
men, who are themselves niggardly and enjoin others to be niggardly
also; who conceal that which Allah of His bounty has bestowed upon
them - We have prepared a shameful punishment for the unbelievers -
and who spend their wealth for the sake of ostentation, believing
neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. He that chooses the devil for his
friend, an evil friend has he.
What harm could befall them if they believed in Allah and the Last
Day and gave in alms of that which He has bestowed on them? Allah
knows themall.
