	Clay 1st May, 2011 Incorrect translation. "nisa" does not mean "girls", it means "women".
	Kais 1st May, 2011 Thanks for your suggestion. Looking at the translation page, I noticed that both Pickthall and Shakir use female instead of either girls or women for this particular verse. However, in general, the Arabic word nisā' does indeed pertain to women. Would anyone like to weigh in with some other references to published works for this particular verse?
	Mazhar A. Nurani 1st May, 2011 "the" may also be added, "the women".
