The Forbiddingal-Taḥrīm ( التحريم )

12 verses • revealed at Medinan

»The surah that opens with admonishing the Prophet against The Forbidding or prohibition of something he once imposed on himself for the purpose of not offending his wives, though God had made it lawful for him. Named after the phrase “why do you forbid” (li mā tuḥrimu) in verse 1. It mentions two of the Prophet’s wives, namely Ḥafṣah and ʿĀyishah, for an incident when a confidence was betrayed (verse 3 ff.) and urges all believers to submit themselves to God and to guard themselves and their families against Hellfire (verse 6). The surah closes by giving examples of believing and disbelieving women (verse 10 ff.).«

The surah is also known as Holding (something) to be Forbidden, The Prohibition

بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

: (شروع کرتا ہوں) اللہ کے نام سے جو بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم والا ہے۔

1
يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ ما أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ ۖ تَبتَغي مَرضاتَ أَزواجِكَ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

اے نبی(ص)! جو چیز اللہ نے آپ کیلئے حلال قرار دی ہے آپ اسے اپنی بیویوں کی خوشنودی حاصل کرنے کیلئے (اپنے اوپر) کیوں حرام ٹھہراتے ہیں اور اللہ بڑا بخشنے والا، بڑا رحم کرنے والا ہے۔
