Quran 4:116~121
Islam, Quran , , , , , , , ,
Surely Allah does not forgive associating ˹others˺ with Him ˹in worship˺, but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. Indeed, whoever associates ˹others˺ with Allah has clearly gone far astray. Instead of Allah, they only invoke female gods and they ˹actually˺ invoke none but a rebellious Satan— cursed by Allah—who said, “I will surely take hold of a certain number of Your servants. I will certainly mislead them and delude them with empty hopes. Also, I will order them and they will slit the ears of cattle and alter Allah’s creation.” Continued…
An-Nisa’ (Arabic: ٱلنساء, An-Nisāʾ; meaning: The Women) is the fourth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 176 verses (āyāt).
And whoever takes Satan as a guardian instead of Allah has certainly suffered a tremendous loss. Satan only makes them ˹false˺ promises and deludes them with ˹empty˺ hopes. Truly Satan promises them nothing but delusion. It is they who will have Hell as their home, and they will find no escape from it! Quran 4:116~121 Surah an-Nisa` (Women)
The title derives from the numerous references to women throughout the chapter, including verse 34 and verses 127-130.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یَغۡفِرُ أَن یُشۡرَكَ بِهِۦ وَیَغۡفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَ ٰلِكَ لِمَن یَشَاۤءُۚ وَمَن یُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلَـٰلَۢا بَعِیدًا إِن یَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦۤ إِلَّاۤ إِنَـٰثࣰا وَإِن یَدۡعُونَ إِلَّا شَیۡطَـٰنࣰا مَّرِیدࣰا لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُۘ وَقَالَ لَأَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنۡ عِبَادِكَ نَصِیبࣰا مَّفۡرُوضࣰا وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمۡ وَلَأُمَنِّیَنَّهُمۡ وَلَءَامُرَنَّهُمۡ فَلَیُبَتِّكُنَّ ءَاذَانَ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ وَلَءَامُرَنَّهُمۡ فَلَیُغَیِّرُنَّ خَلۡقَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَن یَتَّخِذِ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنَ وَلِیࣰّا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ خَسِرَ خُسۡرَانࣰا مُّبِینࣰا یَعِدُهُمۡ وَیُمَنِّیهِمۡۖ وَمَا یَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ وَلَا یَجِدُونَ عَنۡهَا مَحِیصࣰا
According to many scholars, the Surah was revealed after the Battle of Uhud, which left 70 of the Muslims killed.
This situation brought about the need to address issues such as inheritance left by those killed etc.
Hence in Surah an-Nisa, Allah Almighty address issues such as dealing with orphans [including children of those killed at Uhud] and inheritance.
اللہ کے ہاں بس شرک ہی کی بخشش نہیں ہے، اس کے سوا اور سب کچھ معاف ہوسکتا ہے جسے وہ معاف کرنا چاہے جس نے اللہ کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک ٹھیرایا وہ تو گمراہی میں بہت دور نکل گیا وہ اللہ کو چھوڑ کر دیویوں کو معبود بناتے ہیں وہ اُس باغی شیطان کو معبود بناتے ہیں جس کو اللہ نے لعنت زدہ کیا ہے (وہ اُس شیطان کی اطاعت کر رہے ہیں) جس نے اللہ سے کہا تھا کہ "میں تیرے بندوں سے ایک مقرر حصہ لے کر رہوں گا
