00:13:07,139 --> 00:13:15,139 But if it is clear, then keep a bond between them in their homes and in the houses in which they lie down 161 00:13:15,139 --> 00:13:18,139 And beat them so that they may build to God 162 00:13:18,139 --> 00:13:21,139 If I obey you, O people, your women 163 00:13:21,139 --> 00:13:24,139 Do not seek a way to their ears 164 00:13:24,139 --> 00:13:30,139 And do not seek a

an arbiter of its people 170 00:13:48,139 --> 00:13:55,139 If he wants reconciliation, God will reconcile them 171 00:13:55,139 --> 00:14:02,230 Indeed, God is All-Knowing, All-Aware 172 00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:07,230 And if you know, O people, the difficulty of each one of them is different 173 00:14:07,230 --> 00:14:09,230 As for the woman 174 00:14:09,230 --> 00:14:14,230 Disobedience and her

her go with kindness 177 00:14:21,230 --> 00:14:25,230 So they sent an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family 178 00:14:25,230 --> 00:14:29,230 The two rulers want reconciliation between men and women 179 00:14:29,230 --> 00:14:32,230 May God reconcile the two rulings 180 00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:35,230 They agree to reconcile between them 181 00:14:35,230 --> 00:14:41,230 God was aware of what the two rulers wanted in terms of reconciliation between the spouses and other things 182 00:14:41,230 --> 00:14:46,230 He is knowledgeable about this and other matters, both of them
