نِسَاؤُكُمْ
حَرْثٌ
لَّكُمْ
فَأْتُوا
حَرْثَكُمْ
أَنَّى
شِئْتُمْ
وَقَدِّمُوا
لِأَنفُسِكُمْ
وَاتَّقُوا
اللَّهَ
وَاعْلَمُوا
أَنَّكُم
مُّلَاقُوهُ
وَبَشِّرِ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
nisāʾukum ḥarthun lakum fa-ʾtū ḥarthakum ʾannā shiʾtum wa-qaddimū li-ʾanfusikum wa-ttaqū llāha wa-ʿlamū ʾannakum mulāqūhu wa-bashshiri l-muʾminīna
Your women are a tillage for you, so come to your tillage whenever you like, and send ahead for your souls, and be Godwary, and know that you will encounter Him; and give good news to the faithful.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.
