فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۗ وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰۖ قُلۡ إِصۡلَاحٞ لَّهُمۡ خَيۡرٞۖ وَإِن تُخَالِطُوهُمۡ فَإِخۡوَٰنُكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصۡلِحِۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَعۡنَتَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ ٢٢٠
To this world and the Hereafter. And they ask you about orphans. Say, "Improvement for them is best. And if you mix your affairs with theirs - they are your brothers. And Allāh knows the corrupter from the amender. And if Allāh had willed, He could have put you in difficulty. Indeed, Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."

Commentary on 2:220
﴿فِي الدُّنْيا والآخِرَةِ﴾ في أُمُورِ الدّارَيْنِ فَتَأْخُذُوا بِالأصْلَحِ والأنْفَعِ فِيهِما، وتَجْتَنِبُونَ عَمّا يَضُرُّكم ولا يَنْفَعُكُمْ، أوْ يَضُرُّكم أكْثَرَ مِمّا يَنْفَعُكم. ﴿وَيَسْألُونَكَ عَنِ اليَتامى﴾ لَمّا نَزَلَتْ ﴿إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أمْوالَ اليَتامى ظُلْمًا﴾ الآيَةَ اعْتَزَلُوا اليَتامى ومُخالَطَتَهم والِاهْتِمامَ بِأمْرِهِمْ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ ﴿قُلْ إصْلاحٌ لَهم خَيْرٌ﴾ أيْ مُداخَلَتُهم لِإصْلاحِهِمْ أوْ إصْلاحِ أمْوالِهِمْ خَيْرٌ مِن مُجانَبَتِهِمْ. ﴿وَإنْ تُخالِطُوهم فَإخْوانُكُمْ﴾ حَثٌّ عَلى المُخالَطَةِ، أيْ أنَّهم إخْوانُكم في الدِّينِ ومِن حَقِّ الأخِ أنْ يُخالِطَ الأخَ. وقِيلَ المُرادُ بِالمُخالَطَةِ المُصاهَرَةُ. ﴿واللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ المُفْسِدَ مِنَ المُصْلِحِ﴾ وعِيدٌ ووَعْدٌ لِمَن خالَطَهم لِإفْسادٍ وإصْلاحٍ، أيْ يَعْلَمُ أمْرَهُ فَيُجازِيهِ عَلَيْهِ. ﴿وَلَوْ شاءَ اللَّهُ لأعْنَتَكُمْ﴾ أيْ ولَوْ شاءَ اللَّهُ إعْناتَكم لَأعْنَتَكُمْ، أيْ كَلَّفَكم ما يَشُقُّ عَلَيْكم مِنَ العَنَتِ وهي المَشَقَّةُ ولَمْ يَجَوِّزْ لَكم مُداخَلَتَكم. ﴿إنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ﴾ غالِبٌ يَقْدِرُ عَلى الإعْناتِ. ﴿حَكِيمٌ﴾ يَحْكُمُ ما تَقْتَضِيهِ الحِكْمَةُ وتَتَّسِعُ لَهُ الطّاقَةُ.

فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۗ وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰۖ قُلۡ إِصۡلَاحٞ لَّهُمۡ خَيۡرٞۖ وَإِن تُخَالِطُوهُمۡ فَإِخۡوَٰنُكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصۡلِحِۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَعۡنَتَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ ٢٢٠
To this world and the Hereafter. And they ask you about orphans. Say, "Improvement for them is best. And if you mix your affairs with theirs - they are your brothers. And Allāh knows the corrupter from the amender. And if Allāh had willed, He could have put you in difficulty. Indeed, Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."
2:221
وَلَا تَنكِحُواْ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكَٰتِ حَتَّىٰ يُؤۡمِنَّۚ وَلَأَمَةٞ مُّؤۡمِنَةٌ خَيۡرٞ مِّن مُّشۡرِكَةٖ وَلَوۡ أَعۡجَبَتۡكُمۡۗ وَلَا تُنكِحُواْ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ حَتَّىٰ يُؤۡمِنُواْۚ وَلَعَبۡدٞ مُّؤۡمِنٌ خَيۡرٞ مِّن مُّشۡرِكٖ وَلَوۡ أَعۡجَبَكُمۡۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡعُونَ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلۡجَنَّةِ وَٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ بِإِذۡنِهِۦۖ وَيُبَيِّنُ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٢١
And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe.1 And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allāh invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that perhaps they may remember.

2:222
وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡمَحِيضِۖ قُلۡ هُوَ أَذٗى فَٱعۡتَزِلُواْ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فِي ٱلۡمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقۡرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطۡهُرۡنَۖ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرۡنَ فَأۡتُوهُنَّ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ أَمَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلتَّوَّٰبِينَ وَيُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَطَهِّرِينَ ٢٢٢
And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives1 during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves,2 then come to them from where Allāh has ordained for you. Indeed, Allāh loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."
2:223
نِسَآؤُكُمۡ حَرۡثٞ لَّكُمۡ فَأۡتُواْ حَرۡثَكُمۡ أَنَّىٰ شِئۡتُمۡۖ وَقَدِّمُواْ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُم مُّلَٰقُوهُۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٢٢٣
Your wives are a place of cultivation [i.e., sowing of seed] for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves. And fear Allāh and know that you will meet Him. And give good tidings to the believers.
2:224
وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ ٱللَّهَ عُرۡضَةٗ لِّأَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ أَن تَبَرُّواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ وَتُصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِۚ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٞ ٢٢٤
And do not make [your oath by] Allāh an excuse against being righteous and fearing Allāh and making peace among people. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
