An-Nisa 4:129 ولن تستطيعوا ان تعدلوا بين النساء ولو حرصتم فلا تميلوا كل الميل فتذروها كالمعلقة وان تصلحوا وتتقوا فان الله كان غفورا رحيما ١٢٩

4:129
وَلَن
تَسۡتَطِيعُوٓاْ
أَن
تَعۡدِلُواْ
بَيۡنَ
ٱلنِّسَآءِ
وَلَوۡ
حَرَصۡتُمۡۖ
فَلَا
تَمِيلُواْ
كُلَّ
ٱلۡمَيۡلِ
فَتَذَرُوهَا
كَٱلۡمُعَلَّقَةِۚ
وَإِن
تُصۡلِحُواْ
وَتَتَّقُواْ
فَإِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
كَانَ
غَفُورٗا
رَّحِيمٗا
١٢٩
You will never be able to maintain ˹emotional˺ justice between your wives—no matter how keen you are. So do not totally incline towards one leaving the other in suspense.1 And if you do what is right and are mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Chapter 4, Page 99, Juz 5

127. They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding women. Say, “It is Allah Who instructs you regarding them. Instruction has ˹already˺ been revealed in the Book concerning the orphan women you deprive of their due rights but still wish to marry, also helpless children, as well as standing up for orphans’ rights. And whatever good you do is certainly well known to Allah.” 128. If a woman fears indifference or neglect from her husband, there is no blame on either of them if they seek ˹fair˺ settlement, which is best. Humans are ever inclined to selfishness. But if you are gracious and mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Aware of what you do. 129. You will never be able to maintain ˹emotional˺ justice between your wives—no matter how keen you are. So do not totally incline towards one leaving the other in suspense. And if you do what is right and are mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 130. But if they choose to separate, Allah will enrich both of them from His bounties. And Allah is Ever-Bountiful, All-Wise.
