Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and
because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the
husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and
ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to
obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
4:35
If ye fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family, and the other from hers; if they
wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation: For Allah hath full knowledge, and is acquainted with all things.
4:36
Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours
who are near, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right
hands possess: For Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious;-
4:37
(Nor) those who are niggardly or enjoin niggardliness on others, or hide the bounties which Allah hath bestowed on
them; for We have prepared, for those who resist Faith, a punishment that steeps them in contempt;-
4:38
Not those who spend of their substance, to be seen of men, but have no faith in Allah and the Last Day: If any take the
Evil One for their intimate, what a dreadful intimate he is!
4:39
And what burden Were it on them if they had faith in Allah and in the Last Day, and they spent out of what Allah hath
given them for sustenance. For Allah hath full knowledge of them.
4:40
Allah is never unjust in the least degree: If there is any good (done), He doubleth it, and giveth from His own presence
a great reward.
4:41
How then if We brought from each people a witness, and We brought thee as a witness against these people!
