Dress code
24:30, 31


30. Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and
protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily,
Allâh is All Aware of what they do.

31. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and
protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their
adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes
for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and
to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and
not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's
fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their
sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm), or the (female) slaves
whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigor, or small children who
have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what
they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that
you may be successful.

24:60. And as for women past childbearing who do not expect wedlock, it is no sin on them
if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show their adornment. But to
refrain (i.e. not to discard their outer clothing) is better for them. And Allâh is All-Hearer,
All-Knower.

33:59. O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to
draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the
eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free
respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Marriage
24:32, 33

32. And marry those among you who are single (i.e. a man who has no wife and the woman
who has no husband) and (also marry) the Sâlihûn (pious, fit and capable ones) of your
(male) slaves and maid-servants (female slaves). If they be poor, Allâh will enrich them out
of His Bounty. And Allâh is All Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing (about the
state of the people).

33. And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste,
until Allâh enriches them of His Bounty. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of
emancipation), give them such writing, if you know that they are good and trustworthy. And
give them something yourselves out of the wealth of Allâh which He has bestowed upon
you. And force not your maids to prostitution, if they desire chastity, in order that you may
make a gain in the (perishable) goods of this worldly life. But if anyone compels them (to
prostitution), then after such compulsion, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to those
women, i.e. He will forgive them because they have been forced to do this evil action
unwillingly).


4:19. O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you
should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the Mahr you have
given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse. And live with them
honorably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allâh brings through it
a great deal of good.

4:4, 5

4. And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory bridal money given by
the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart, but if they, of their own
good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as
Allâh has made it lawful).

5. And give not unto the foolish your property which Allâh has made a means of support for
you , but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice.

4:22-25

22. And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed;
indeed it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way.

23. Forbidden to you (for marriage) are: your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your
father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters,
your foster mother who gave you suck, your foster milk suckling sisters, your wives'
mothers, your step daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom you
have gone in - but there is no sin on you if you have not gone in them (to marry their
daughters), - the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins, and two sisters in
wedlock at the same time, except for what has already passed; verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.

24. Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom
your right hands possess. Thus has Allâh ordained for you. All others are lawful, provided
you seek (them in marriage) with Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at
the time of marriage) from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal sexual
intercourse, so with those of whom you have enjoyed sexual relations, give them their Mahr
as prescribed; but if after a Mahr is prescribed, you agree mutually (to give more), there is
no sin on you. Surely, Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.

25. And whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women, they
may wed believing girls from among those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands
possess, and Allâh has full knowledge about your Faith, you are one from another. Wed
them with the permission of their own folk (guardians, Auliyâ' or masters) and give them
their Mahr according to what is reasonable; they (the above said captive and slave-girls)
should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boy-friends. And after they have been taken in
wedlock, if they commit illegal sexual intercourse, their punishment is half that for free
(unmarried) women. This is for him among you who is afraid of being harmed in his religion
or in his body; but it is better for you that you practice self-restraint, and Allâh is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful.

60:10,11


10. 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, etc.) ask back for that which they have spent. That is the Judgment of Allâh.
He judges between you. And Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

11. And if any of your wives have gone from you to the disbelievers, and you have an
accession (by the coming over of a woman from the other side), then pay to those whose
wives have gone, the equivalent of what they had spent (on their Mahr). And fear Allâh in
Whom you believe.

2: 222

222. They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for a
husband to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses),
therefore keep away from women during menses and go not unto them till they have
purified (from menses and have taken a bath). And when they have purified themselves,
then go in unto them as Allâh has ordained for you (go in unto them in any manner as long
as it is in their vagina). Truly, Allâh loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves
those who purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their
private parts, bodies, for their prayers, etc.).

223. Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your
wives in any manner as long as it is in the vagina and not in the anus), when or how you
will, and send (good deeds, or ask Allâh to bestow upon you pious offspring) before you for
your own selves. And fear Allâh, and know that you are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and
give good tidings to the believers (O Muhammad pbuh).

33:50. O Prophet (Muhammad pbuh)! Verily, We have made lawful to you your wives, to
whom you have paid their Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time
of marriage), and those (captives or slaves) whom your right hand possesses - whom Allâh
has given to you, and the daughters of your 'Amm (paternal uncles) and the daughters of
your 'Ammah (paternal aunts) and the daughters of your Khâl (maternal uncles) and the
daughters of your Khâlah (maternal aunts) who migrated (from Makkah) with you, and a
believing woman if she offers herself to the Prophet, and the Prophet wishes to marry her; a
privilege for you only, not for the (rest of) the believers. Indeed We know what We have
enjoined upon them about their wives and those (captives or slaves) whom their right hands
possess, - in order that there should be no difficulty on you. And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.


5:5. Made lawful to you this day are AtTayyibât [all kinds of Halâl (lawful) foods, which
Allâh has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, etc., milk products, fats,
vegetables and fruits, etc.). The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of the
people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to
them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women
from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time, when you
have given their due Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of
marriage), desiring chastity (i.e. taking them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual
intercourse, nor taking them as girl-friends. And whosoever disbelieves in the Oneness of
Allâh and in all the other Articles of Faith [i.e. His (Allâh's), Angels, His Holy Books, His
Messengers, the Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], then fruitless
is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

24:6-9

6. And for those who accuse their wives, but have no witnesses except themselves, let the
testimony of one of them be four testimonies (i.e. testifies four times) by Allâh that he is
one of those who speak the truth.

7. And the fifth (testimony) (should be) the invoking of the Curse of Allâh on him if he be of
those who tell a lie (against her).

8. But it shall avert the punishment (of stoning to death) from her, if she bears witness four
times by Allâh, that he (her husband) is telling a lie.

9. And the fifth (testimony) should be that the Wrath of Allâh be upon her if he (her
husband) speaks the truth.

24:2, 3, 4

2. The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a
hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by
Allâh, if you believe in Allâh and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their
punishment. (This punishment is for unmarried persons guilty of the above crime but if
married persons commit it, the punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allâh's
Law).

3. The adulterer marries not but an adulteress or a Mushrikah and the adulteress none
marries her except an adulterer or a Muskrik [and that means that the man who agrees to
marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan or idolatress) or
a prostitute, then surely he is either an adulterer, or a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or
idolater, etc.) And the woman who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrik
(polytheist, pagan or idolater) or an adulterer, then she is either a prostitute or a Mushrikah
(female polytheist, pagan, or idolatress, etc.)]. Such a thing is forbidden to the believers (of
Islâmic Monotheism).

4. And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with
eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever, they indeed are the Fâsiqûn (liars,
rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).


Polygamy
4:3. And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, then
marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not
be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your
right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice.

4:129. You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent
desire, so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your time and
provision) so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor married). And if you do
justice, and do all that is right and fear Allâh by keeping away from all that is wrong, then
Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Financial rights
4:7, 11, 12

7. There is a share for men and a share for women from what is left by parents and those
nearest related, whether, the property be small or large - a legal share.

11. Allâh commands you as regards your children's (inheritance); to the male, a portion
equal to that of two females; if (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two
thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is half. For parents, a sixth share of
inheritance to each if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the
(only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers or (sisters), the mother
has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have
bequeathed or debts. You know not which of them, whether your parents or your children,
are nearest to you in benefit, (these fixed shares) are ordained by Allâh. And Allâh is Ever
All-Knower, All-Wise.

12. In that which your wives leave, your share is a half if they have no child; but if they
leave a child, you get a fourth of that which they leave after payment of legacies that they
may have bequeathed or debts. In that which you leave, their (your wives) share is a fourth
if you leave no child; but if you leave a child, they get an eighth of that which you leave
after payment of legacies that you may have bequeathed or debts. If the man or woman
whose inheritance is in question has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a
brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two, they share in a
third; after payment of legacies he (or she) may have bequeathed or debts, so that no loss
is caused (to anyone). This is a Commandment from Allâh; and Allâh is Ever All-Knowing,
Most-Forbearing.

4:34. Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of
them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their
means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their
husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their
chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill-
conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them
(lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of
annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High, Most Great.



Divorce
4:35. If you fear a breach between them twain (the man and his wife), appoint (two)
arbitrators, one from his family and the other from her's; if they both wish for peace, Allâh
will cause their reconciliation. Indeed Allâh is Ever All-Knower, Well-Acquainted with all
things.

4:128. And if a woman fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no sin on
them both if they make terms of peace between themselves; and making peace is
better. And human inner-selves are swayed by greed. But if you do good and keep away
from evil, verily, Allâh is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do.

4:20. But if you intend to replace a wife by another and you have given one of them a
Cantar (of gold i.e. a great amount) as Mahr, take not the least bit of it back; would you
take it wrongfully without a right and (with) a manifest sin?

65:1, 2, 4, 6

1. O Prophet (pbuh)! When you divorce women, divorce them at their 'Iddah (prescribed
periods), and count (accurately) their 'Iddah (periods ). And fear Allâh your Lord (O
Muslims), and turn them not out of their (husband's) homes, nor shall they (themselves)
leave, except in case they are guilty of some open illegal sexual intercourse. And those are
the set limits of Allâh. And whosoever transgresses the set limits of Allâh, then indeed he
has wronged himself. You (the one who divorces his wife) know not, it may be that Allâh will
afterward bring some new thing to pass (i.e. to return her back to you if that was the first
or second divorce).

2. Then when they are about to fulfil their term appointed, either take them back in a good
manner or part with them in a good manner. And take for witness two just persons from
among you (Muslims). And establish the witness for Allâh. That will be an admonition given
to him who believes in Allâh and the Last Day. And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his
duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).

4. And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the
'Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubts (about their periods), is three months, and
for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their 'Iddah (prescribed period)
is three months likewise, except in case of death] . And for those who are pregnant
(whether they are divorced or their husbands are dead), their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is
until they deliver (their burdens), and whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He
will make his matter easy for him.

6. Lodge them (the divorced women) where you dwell, according to your means, and do not
treat them in such a harmful way that they be obliged to leave. And if they are pregnant,
then spend on them till they deliver. Then if they give suck to the children for you, give
them their due payment, and let each of you accept the advice of the other in a just way.
But if you make difficulties for one another, then some other woman may give suck for him
(the father of the child).


2:226-237

226. Those who take an oath not to have sexual relation with their wives must wait four
months, then if they return (change their idea in this period), verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.

227. And if they decide upon divorce, then Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

228. And divorced women shall wait (as regards their marriage) for three menstrual
periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allâh has created in their wombs, if
they believe in Allâh and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take
them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And they (women) have rights (over
their husbands as regards living expenses, etc.) similar (to those of their husbands) over
them (as regards obedience and respect, etc.) to what is reasonable, but men have a
degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allâh is All Mighty, All Wise.

229. The divorce is twice, after that, either you retain her on reasonable terms or release
her with kindness. And it is not lawful for you (men) to take back (from your wives) any of
your Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) which
you have given them, except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the
limits ordained by Allâh (e.g. to deal with each other on a fair basis). Then if you fear that
they would not be able to keep the limits ordained by Allâh, then there is no sin on either of
them if she gives back (the Mahr or a part of it) for her Al-Khul' (divorce). These are the
limits ordained by Allâh, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits
ordained by Allâh, then such are the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).

230. And if he has divorced her (the third time), then she is not lawful unto him thereafter
until she has married another husband. Then, if the other husband divorces her, it is no sin
on both of them that they reunite, provided they feel that they can keep the limits ordained
by Allâh. These are the limits of Allâh, which He makes plain for the people who have
knowledge.

231. And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their
prescribed period, either take them back on reasonable basis or set them free on reasonable
basis. But do not take them back to hurt them, and whoever does that, then he has
wronged himself. And treat not the Verses (Laws) of Allâh as a jest, but remember Allâh's
Favours on you (i.e. Islâm), and that which He has sent down to you of the Book (i.e. the
Qur'ân) and Al-Hikmah (the Prophet's Sunnah - legal ways - Islâmic jurisprudence, etc.)
whereby He instructs you. And fear Allâh, and know that Allâh is All-Aware of everything.

232. And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their
prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands, if they
mutually agree on reasonable basis. This (instruction) is an admonition for him among you
who believes in Allâh and the Last Day. That is more virtuous and purer for you. Allâh
knows and you know not.


233. The mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that is) for those
(parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling, but the father of the child shall bear
the cost of the mother's food and clothing on a reasonable basis. No person shall have a
burden laid on him greater than he can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account
of her child, nor father on account of his child. And on the (father's) heir is incumbent the
like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they both decide on weaning, by mutual
consent, and after due consultation, there is no sin on them. And if you decide on a foster
suckling-mother for your children, there is no sin on you, provided you pay (the mother)
what you agreed (to give her) on reasonable basis. And fear Allâh and know that Allâh is
All-Seer of what you do.

234. And those of you who die and leave wives behind them, they (the wives) shall wait (as
regards their marriage) for four months and ten days, then when they have fulfilled their
term, there is no sin on you if they (the wives) dispose of themselves in a just and
honorable manner (i.e. they can marry). And Allâh is Well-Acquainted with what you do.

235. And there is no sin on you if you make a hint of betrothal or conceal it in yourself,
Allâh knows that you will remember them, but do not make a promise of contract with them
in secret except that you speak an honorable saying according to the Islâmic law (e.g. you
can say to her, "If one finds a wife like you, he will be happy"). And do not consummate the
marriage until the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allâh knows what is in your
minds, so fear Him. And know that Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

236. There is no sin on you, if you divorce women while yet you have not touched (had
sexual relation with) them, nor appointed unto them their Mahr (bridal money given by the
husband to his wife at the time of marriage). But bestow on them ( a suitable gift), the rich
according to his means, and the poor according to his means, a gift of reasonable amount is
a duty on the doers of good.

237. And if you divorce them before you have touched (had a sexual relation with) them,
and you have appointed unto them the Mahr (bridal money given by the husbands to his
wife at the time of marriage), then pay half of that (Mahr), unless they (the women) agree
to forego it, or he (the husband), in whose hands is the marriage tie, agrees to forego and
give her full appointed Mahr. And to forego and give (her the full Mahr) is nearer to At-
Taqwa (piety, righteousness, etc.). And do not forget liberality between yourselves. Truly,
Allâh is All-Seer of what you do.

33:49. O you who believe! When you marry believing women, and then divorce them
before you have sexual intercourse with them, no 'Iddah [divorce prescribed period, see
(V.65:4)] have you to count in respect of them. So give them a present, and set them free
i.e. divorce, in a handsome manner.

58:2-4

2. Those among you who make their wives unlawful (Az-Zihâr) to them by saying to them
"You are like my mother's back." They cannot be their mothers. None can be their mothers
except those who gave them birth. And verily, they utter an ill word and a lie. And verily,
Allâh is Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.


3. And those who make unlawful to them (their wives) (by Az-Zihâr) and wish to free
themselves from what they uttered, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave
before they touch each other. That is an admonition to you (so that you may not return to
such an ill thing). And Allâh is All-Aware of what you do.

4. And he who finds not (the money for freeing a slave) must fast two successive months
before they both touch each other. And for him who is unable to do so, he should feed sixty
of Miskîn (poor). That is in order that you may have perfect Faith in Allâh and His
Messenger. These are the limits set by Allâh. And for disbelievers, there is a painful torment

Spiritual rights
4:124. And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or female, and is a true believer in
the Oneness of Allâh (Muslim), such will enter Paradise and not the least injustice, even to
the size of a Naqîra (speck on the back of a date stone), will be done to them.

16:97. Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true
believer (of Islâmic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with
respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in
proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter).

4:1. O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and
from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many
men and women and fear Allâh through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do
not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship) . Surely, Allâh is Ever an All-Watcher over you.

16:72. And Allâh has made for you wives of your own kind, and has made for you, from
your wives, sons and grandsons, and has bestowed on you good provision. Do they then
believe in false deities and deny the Favor of Allâh (by not worshipping Allâh Alone).

42:11. The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you mates from
yourselves, and for the cattle (also) mates. By this means He creates you (in the wombs).
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

Social Rights of Daughter
6:151. Say (O Muhammad pbuh): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you
from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not
your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them;

7:31. And kill not your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you.
Surely, the killing of them is a great sin.

16:58, 59

58. And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face
becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief!


59. He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been
informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor or bury her in the earth ? Certainly, evil is their
decision.

Social Rights of Wife
30:21. And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves,
that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily,
in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.

4:19. O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you
should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the Mahr you have
given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse. And live with them
honorably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allâh brings through it
a great deal of good.

2:228. And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses,
etc.) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect,
etc.) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allâh
is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

4:34. Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of
them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their
means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their
husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their
chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill
conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them
(lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of
annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High, Most Great.

Social Rights of Mother
4:1. O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and
from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many
men and women and fear Allâh through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do
not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allâh is Ever an All Watcher over you.

6:151. Say (O Muhammad pbuh): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you
from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents;

31:14. And, We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother
bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two
years give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination.


46:15. And, We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother
bears him with hardship and she brings him forth with hardship, and the bearing of him,
and the weaning of him is thirty (30) months, till when he attains full strength and reaches
forty years, he says: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for
Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do
righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my off-spring good. Truly, I have
turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims (submitting to Your Will)."
