Certainly, there has been
in them an excellent example for you to follow — for those who look forward to
(the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day. And whosoever turns away, then
verily, Allâh is Rich (Free of all needs), Worthy of all Praise. (6) Perhaps Allâh will
make friendship between you and those whom you hold as enemies. And Allâh has
power (over all things), and Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (7) Allâh does not forbid
you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account
of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allâh loves those who deal
with equity. (8) It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of
religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out,
that Allâh forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then
such are the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers those who disobey Allâh). (9) O you who believe!
When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allâh knows best
as to their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true believers, send
them not back to the disbelievers, They are not lawful (wives) for the
disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them. But give (the
disbelievers) that (amount of money) which they have spent [as their Mahr[]] to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry
them if you have paid their Mahr to them. Likewise hold not the disbelieving
women as wives, and ask for (the return of) that which you have spent (as Mahr)
and let them (the disbelievers) ask back for that which they have spent. That
is the Judgement of Allâh. He judges between you. And Allâh is All-Knowing,
All-Wise. (10) And if any of your wives have gone from you to the disbelievers,
(as apostates and you asked them to retrun back your Mahr but they refused) —
then you went our for a Ghazwah (military expedition) (against them and) gained
booty; then pay from that booty to those whose wives have gone, the equivalent
of what they had spent (on their Mahr). And fear Allâh in Whom
you believe. (11)
