English - Chapter 33 - Al-Ahzab

Translation by Muhammad Asad — Permalink

Verse 5 — Surah Al-Ahzab 33:5

[As for your adopted children,] call them by their [real] fathers’ names: this is more equitable in the sight of God; and if you know not who their fathers were, [call them] your brethren in faith and your friends. However, you will incur no sin if you err in this respect: [what really matters is] but what your hearts intend - for God is indeed much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace
