220. (Their bearings) on this life and the Hereafter. They ask thee concerning orphans.
Say: "The best thing to do is what is for their good; if ye mix their affairs with yours, they
are your brethren; but Allah knows the man who means mischief from the man who
means good. And if Allah had wished, He could have put you into difficulties: He is
indeed Exalted in Power, Wise."

221. 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.
