English - Chapter 2 - Al-Baqarah

Translation by Abdel Haleem — Permalink

Verse 221 — Surah Al-Baqarah 2:221

Do not marry idolatresses until they believe: a believing slave woman is certainly better than an idolatress, even though she may please you. And do not give your women in marriage to idolaters until they believe: a believing slave is certainly better than an idolater, even though he may please you. Such people call [you] to the Fire, while God calls [you] to the Garden and forgiveness by His leave. He makes His messages clear to people, so that they may bear them in mind
