Al-Ahzab

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ وَٱلۡمُسۡلِمَٰتِ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ وَٱلۡقَٰنِتِينَ وَٱلۡقَٰنِتَٰتِ وَٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ وَٱلصَّٰدِقَٰتِ وَٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ وَٱلصَّٰبِرَٰتِ وَٱلۡخَٰشِعِينَ وَٱلۡخَٰشِعَٰتِ وَٱلۡمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَٱلۡمُتَصَدِّقَٰتِ وَٱلصَّٰٓئِمِينَ وَٱلصَّٰٓئِمَٰتِ وَٱلۡحَٰفِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمۡ وَٱلۡحَٰفِظَٰتِ وَٱلذَّٰكِرِينَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱلذَّٰكِرَٰتِ أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٗ وَأَجۡرًا عَظِيمٗا

       Indeed, the Muslims (i.e. who do good deeds like Salat, pay poor-due, etc), men and women, the believing  men and women (i.e. with correct Faith), the men and women who are obedient to Allah, the men and women who are truthful (in their speech and actions and also in faith and intention), the men and women who are patient, the men and women who are humble, and the men and women who give the poor-due, the men and women who fast, the men and women who guard their chastity and the men and women who remember Allah much – Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise). (Hence, reward is equal for both men and women and it will not be changed due to their gender).

وَإِذۡ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِيٓ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ وَأَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ أَمۡسِكۡ عَلَيۡكَ زَوۡجَكَ وَٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَتُخۡفِي فِي نَفۡسِكَ مَا ٱللَّهُ مُبۡدِيهِ وَتَخۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخۡشَىٰهُۖ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ زَيۡدٞ مِّنۡهَا وَطَرٗا زَوَّجۡنَٰكَهَا لِكَيۡ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ حَرَجٞ فِيٓ أَزۡوَٰجِ أَدۡعِيَآئِهِمۡ إِذَا قَضَوۡاْ مِنۡهُنَّ وَطَرٗاۚ وَكَانَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفۡعُولٗا

       And (remember) when you were advising that person [Zaid bin Harith ], on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace (guided him to Islam, and released him from slavery) and you [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] have done him favour [educated him, freed him, married him to Zainab ], saying: “Hold on to your wife [Zainab ] and fear Allah.” And you were hiding in your heart what Allah was going to reveal. And you did fear people (in this matter) but Allah has more right that you should fear Him. Hence, when Zaid  had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so that in the future there may be no difficulty for the believers regarding (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when they have accomplished their desire from them (i.e. they have divorced them). And Allah’s Command must be fulfilled.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِنَّآ أَحۡلَلۡنَا لَكَ أَزۡوَٰجَكَ ٱلَّٰتِيٓ ءَاتَيۡتَ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَمَا مَلَكَتۡ يَمِينُكَ مِمَّآ أَفَآءَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡكَ وَبَنَاتِ عَمِّكَ وَبَنَاتِ عَمَّٰتِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَالِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَٰلَٰتِكَ ٱلَّٰتِي هَاجَرۡنَ مَعَكَ وَٱمۡرَأَةٗ مُّؤۡمِنَةً إِن وَهَبَتۡ نَفۡسَهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنۡ أَرَادَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ أَن يَسۡتَنكِحَهَا خَالِصَةٗ لَّكَ مِن دُونِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَۗ قَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا مَا فَرَضۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ فِيٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ وَمَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ لِكَيۡلَا يَكُونَ عَلَيۡكَ حَرَجٞۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورٗا رَّحِيمٗا

       O Prophet [Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)]! Indeed, We have made lawful to you your wives, to whom you have paid their bridal-money, and those slave-girls who are (given to you by Islamic law), and the daughters of your paternal uncles, and daughters of your paternal aunts, and daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who immigrated (from Makkah) with you, and a believing woman if she voluntarily offers herself to the Prophet, and as long as the Prophet also wishes to marry her. It is a special privilege for you only and it is not permissible for the rest of the believers. We are fully aware of the laws We have ordained for the believers regarding their wives and the slave-girls (given to them by Islamic law). This is so that you don’t feel any hardship. And Allah is Very-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَدۡخُلُواْ بُيُوتَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤۡذَنَ لَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ طَعَامٍ غَيۡرَ نَٰظِرِينَ إِنَىٰهُ وَلَٰكِنۡ إِذَا دُعِيتُمۡ فَٱدۡخُلُواْ فَإِذَا طَعِمۡتُمۡ فَٱنتَشِرُواْ وَلَا مُسۡتَ‍ٔۡنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمۡ كَانَ يُؤۡذِي ٱلنَّبِيَّ فَيَسۡتَحۡيِۦ مِنكُمۡۖ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَسۡتَحۡيِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ وَإِذَا سَأَلۡتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَٰعٗا فَسۡ‍َٔلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَآءِ حِجَابٖۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ أَطۡهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمۡ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّۚ وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ أَن تُؤۡذُواْ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَن تَنكِحُوٓاْ أَزۡوَٰجَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦٓ أَبَدًاۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمۡ كَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ عَظِيمًا

       O you who believe! Don’t enter the Prophet’s (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) houses, unless you are given permission to take a meal there. Don’t go (too early) to wait there for the preparation of the meal. However, when you are invited, then you may enter (his houses). When you have taken the meal, do leave the place. And don’t sit around for mutual talk. Indeed, such behaviour bothers the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and he is shy to tell you (to leave the place), but Allah is not shy of telling you the truth. And when you ask (his wives) about anything, ask them from behind a screen, that is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not permissible for you to annoy the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) [i.e. (i) by entering his house without permission (ii) by overstaying in his house without his consent (iii) by speaking to his wives without a screen]. And it is not lawful for you to marry his wives after his death. Indeed, it will be a major sin in the sight of Allah. (Making an intention of it in your heart or expressing it by tongue is a major sin also).
