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.
