يقال: قام يقوم قياما، فهو قائم، وجمعه:
القاف والواو والميم أصلان صحيحان، يدل أحدهما على جماعة ناس، وربما استعير في غيرهم. والآخر على انتصاب أو عزم.
Verses 1–4 of 4
Men are the protectors And maintainers of women, Because God has given The one more (strength) Than the other, and because They support them From their means. Therefore the righteous women Are devoutly obedient, and guard In (the husband's) absence What God would have them guard. As to those women On whose part ye fear Disloyalty and ill-conduct, Admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); But if they return to obedience, Seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For God is Most High, Great (above you all).
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:34O ye who believe! Stand out firmly For justice, as witnesses To God, even as against Yourselves, or your parents, Or your kin, and whether It be (against) rich or poor: For God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (Of your hearts), lest ye Swerve, and if ye Distort (justice) or decline To do justice, verily God is well-acquainted With all that ye do.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:135O ye who believe! Stand out firmly For God, as witnesses To fair dealing, and let not The hatred of others To you make you swerve To wrong and depart from Justice. Be just: that is Next to Piety: and fear God. For God is well-acquainted With all that ye do.
