Prohibited to you (for marriage) are your mothers [83], and your daughters [84], and sisters [85], and your father's sisters and your mother's sisters [86], and your brother's daughters [87], and your mothers who have suckled you [88], and your foster sisters [89], and the mothers of your wives [90], and the daughters (your stepdaughters) who are in your care [91] from the wives with whom you had intercourse, but if you had no intercourse with them, then there is no harm in their daughters; and the wives of your sons [92] who are of your loins, and to have two real sisters together [93], except what has already passed. Surely, Allah is the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَقَفَّيۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ بِٱلرُّسُلِۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَا عِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَأَيَّدۡنَٰهُ بِرُوحِ ٱلۡقُدُسِۗ أَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولُۢ بِمَا لَا تَهۡوَىٰٓ أَنفُسُكُمُ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتُمۡ فَفَرِيقٗا كَذَّبۡتُمۡ وَفَرِيقٗا تَقۡتُلُونَ

87.[161] And verily We bestowed upon Musa the Scripture and then appointed Messengers of Allah (Rasools) in sequence. And we clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit (the angel bestowed upon Isa, son of Mariam Jibraeel) (162).

253. Of these Messengers, We have exalted some over others [641]. Among them are those to whom Allah spoke [642], and some He raised in degrees of honor [643]. We gave Isa, son of Mariam [644], clear signs and supported him with the pure spirit (Jibril) [645]. If Allah had willed, those who came after him would not have fought [646] with each other after receiving clear proofs. But they differed; some of them believed, while others became infidels. If Allah had willed, they would not have fought [647], but Allah does what He wills.
