Verses with رفث

Verses 1–2 of 2

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    Permitted to you, On the night of the fasts, Is the approach to your wives. They are your garments And ye are their garments. God knoweth what ye Used to do secretly among yourselves; But He turned to you And forgave you; So now associate with them, And seek what God Hath ordained for you, And eat and drink, Until the white thread Of dawn appear to you Distinct from its black thread; Then complete your fast Till the night appears; But do not associate With your wives While ye are in retreat In the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) God: Approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth God make clear His Signs to men: that They may learn self-restraint.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:187
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    For Ḥajj Are the months well known. If any one undertakes That duty therein, Let there be no obscenity, Nor wickedness, Nor wrangling In the Ḥajj. And whatever good Ye do, (be sure) God knoweth it. And take a provision (With you) for the journey, But the best of provisions Is right conduct. So fear Me, O ye that are wise.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:197
