002.221 Y:  Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe:  A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you.  Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe:  A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you.  Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire.  But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind:  That they may celebrate His praise.

P:  Wed not idolatresses till they believe; for lo! a believing bondwoman is better than an idolatress though she please you; and give not your daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe, for lo! a believing slave is better than an idolater though he please you.  These invite unto the Fire, and Allah inviteth unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness by His grace, and expoundeth His revelations to mankind that haply they may remember.

S:  And do not marry the idolatresses until they believe, and certainly a believing maid is better than an idolatress woman, even though she should please you; and do not give (believing women) in marriage to idolaters until they believe, and certainly a believing servant is better than an idolater, even though he should please you; these invite to the fire, and Allah invites to the garden and to forgiveness by His will, and makes clear His communications to men, that they may be mindful.

002.222 Y:  They ask thee concerning women’s courses.  Say:  They are a hurt and a pollution:  So keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they are clean.  But when they have purified themselves, ye may approach them in any manner, time, or place ordained for you by Allah.  For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.

P:  They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation.  Say:  It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed.  And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you.  Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness.

S:  And they ask you about menstruation.  Say:  It is a discomfort; therefore keep aloof from the women during the menstrual discharge and do not go near them until they have become clean; then when they have cleansed themselves, go in to them as Allah has commanded you; surely Allah loves those who turn much (to Him), and He loves those who purify themselves.

002.223 Y:  Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah.  And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.

P:  Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will, and send (good deeds) before you for your souls, and fear Allah, and know that ye will (one day) meet Him.  Give glad tidings to believers, (O Muhammad).
