CHAPTER 66.  THE PROHIBITION                                             SECTION 1.  PART XXVIII

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE BENEFICENT AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  OH PROPHET, WHY DO YOU MAKE UNLAWFUL
THAT WHICH GOD HAS MADE LAWFUL?  
YOU SEEK TO PLEASE YOUR WIVES BUT GOD IS MERCIFUL 

2  GOD HAS ALREADY ORDAINED FOR YOU THE DISSOLUTION 
OF YOUR OATHS AND WITH GOD IS YOUR PROTECTION
AND GOD IS FULL OF KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM 

3  WHEN THE PROPHET DISCLOSED A MATTER 
CONFIDENTIALLY TO ONE OF HIS MARITAL PARTNERS
AND SHE THEN LAID IT BARE AND GOD MADE HIM AWARE 
AND PART OF IT HE DID CONFIRM AFTER 
AND REPUDIATED A PART OF ANOTHER 
THEN WHEN ABOUT IT HE TOLD HER 
SHE SAID, WHO TOLD YOU OF THESE MATTERS?  
HE SAID, HE TOLD ME, HE WHO IS THE BEST KNOWER 

4  IF YOU TWO TURN IN REPENTANCE TO YOUR MAKER
THEN YOUR HEARTS ARE SO ORDERED
BUT IF AGAINST HIM YOU BACK UP EACH OTHER 
TRULY GOD IS HIS PROTECTOR 
AND GABRIEL AND EVERY RIGHTEOUS BELIEVER
AND THE ANGELS AFTER THAT ARE ALSO HIS AIDERS

5  IT MAY BE IF HE DIVORCED ALL OF YOU 
THAT GOD WILL GIVE HIM BETTER WIVES THAN YOU 
WHO SUBMIT, WHO BELIEVE AND WHO ARE DEVOUT TOO

AND WHO TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE SINCERELY 
WHO WORSHIP, TRAVEL, FAST AND PRAY REGULARLY
EITHER VIRGINS OR WOMEN MARRIED PREVIOUSLY

6  OH YOU WHO ARE BELIEVERS 
SAVE YOURSELVES AND YOUR FAMILIES FROM A FIRE 
WHOSE FUEL IS MEN AND STONES AND APPOINTED OVER 
ARE ANGELS WHO FLINCH NOT FROM EXECUTING GOD'S ORDERS 
STERN AND SEVERE AND DO PRECISELY WHAT THEY ARE ORDERED

7  OH DISBELIEVERS, THIS DAY MAKE NO EXCUSES
YOU ARE BEING REQUITED FOR ALL YOUR PERFORMANCES

CHAPTER 66.  THE PROHIBITION                                             SECTION 2.  PART XXVIII

8  OH YOU WHO ARE BELIEVERS
TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE SINCERE
IN HOPE THAT GOD WILL REMOVE YOUR ERRORS
AND ADMIT YOU TO GARDENS WHEREIN FLOW RIVERS  
GOD WILL NOT PERMIT TO BE HUMILIATED THE MESSENGER
AND THOSE WHO ARE BELIEVERS 
AND THEIR LIGHT WILL RUN FORWARD 
AND THEY BY THEIR RIGHT HANDS WILL DECLARE 
OUR LORD, PERFECT OUR LIGHT AND MAKE US SECURE
AND FORGIVE US FOR OVER ALL THINGS YOU HAVE POWER 

9  OH PROPHET, STRIVE HARD AGAINST THE DISBELIEVERS
AND THE HYPOCRITES AND AGAINST THEM BE SEVERE
AND THEIR ABODE IS HELL, AN EVIL PLACE FOR SURE

10  GOD SETS FORTH FOR AN EXAMPLE TO DISBELIEVERS 
NOAH AND LOT'S MARITAL PARTNERS
TWO OF OUR RIGHTEOUS SERVANTS WERE THEY UNDER
BUT THEY WERE FALSE TO THEIR PARTNERS
THEY PROFITED NOTHING BEFORE THEIR CREATOR
AND THEY WERE TOLD, ENTER THE FIRE 
ALONG WITH THE OTHERS THAT ENTER

11  GOD SETS FORTH AS AN EXAMPLE TO THE BELIEVERS 
THE WIFE OF PHARAOH, SHE SAID, OH CREATOR
BUILD ME A HOUSE THAT TO YOU I MAY BE NEARER
A MANSION IN THE GARDEN AND LET ME BE DELIVERED 
FROM PHARAOH AND SAVE ME FROM THE WRONG DOERS

MARY, THE DAUGHTER OF AMRAN
WHO GUARDED HER CHASTITY AND WE GAVE HER INSPIRATION 
TO THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD AND HIS REVELATIONS 
AND SHE WAS ONE OF THE DEVOUT BELIEVING ONES
