(Devotion to God Is Indivisible)
God did not give any man two hearts in his chest. Nor did He turn your wives whom you estrange (according to your custom) into your mothers.* Nor did He turn your adopted children into genetic offspring. All these are mere utterances that you have invented. God speaks the truth, and He guides in the (right) path.
ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِن قَلبَينِ فى جَوفِهِ وَما جَعَلَ أَزوٰجَكُمُ الّٰـٔى تُظٰهِرونَ مِنهُنَّ أُمَّهٰتِكُم وَما جَعَلَ أَدعِياءَكُم أَبناءَكُم ذٰلِكُم قَولُكُم بِأَفوٰهِكُم وَاللَّهُ يَقولُ الحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهدِى السَّبيلَ
maa ja’alal laahu lirajulim min qalbaini fee jawfih; wa maa ja’ala azwaajakumul laaa’ee tuzaahiroona minhunna ummahaatikum; wa maa ja’ala ad’iyaaa’akum abnaaa’akum; zaalikum qawlukum bi afwaa hikum wallaahu yaqoolul haqqa wa Huwa yahdis sabeel
*33:4 It was a custom in Arabia to estrange the wife by declaring that she was like the husband’s mother. Such an unfair practice is abrogated herein.
