English - Chapter 33 - Al-Ahzab

O prophet! fear God and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites, God is certainly Knowing, Wise

And follow that which is communicated to you from your Lord, God is certainly informed of what you do

And put your trust in God and God is sufficient as a Trustee

God has not made for any man two hearts inside him, and He has not made your wives, whom you orally declare to be your mothers, your (real) mothers, and He has not made, those whom you adopt as sons, your (real) sons. Those are (just) statements from your mouths and God speaks the truth and He guides to the (right) way

Call them by their father’s (name), that will be more just with God, but if you do not know their father, then they are your brothers in religion and your friends. And there is no sin on you in that which you did by mistake in that (affair), but that which your hearts do intentionally (is accountable), and God is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful

The prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves, and his wives are (closer than) their mothers. And the Possessors of relationship are closer, one to another in the decree of God, than the believers and the immigrants, except that you do (some) recognized (good) to your friends, that is written in the book

And when We took their pledge from the prophets and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus the Son of Mary and We took a firm pledge from them

that He may ask the truthful about their truth; and He has prepared a painful punishment for the disbelievers

O you who believe! remember God’s favor on you when the armies came (against) you (at the battle of trench) , and We sent against them wind and forces which you did not see while God is a Seer of that which you do

when they came to you from above you and from below you and when your eyes deviated (from their normal looks) and the hearts reached the throats and you (started) guessing about God, guesses

there the believers were tested and shaken with a severe shaking

and when a group from among them said, “O people of Yasrib (Madina) ! you have no stand, so return,” and a party from among them sought permission of the prophet, saying, “Our houses are certainly exposed,” when they were not exposed, they intended nothing but to run away

And had (the enemy) entered upon them from all sides (of the city and) then (if) persecution was demanded from them, they would have dome it (against you) and (in that case) they would not have been allowed to stay in it but for a short while, e

they had indeed made an agreement with God earlier, that they would not turn their backs, and (they) will be questioned regarding (the fulfillment of their) agreement with God

“Your running away will never benefit you if you are running away from death or murder, and in that case you are not allowed to enjoy but a little,” (because ultimately you have to die)

Say, “Who is it that can protect you from God if He intends evil for you or He intends mercy for you.” And they will not find for themselves, any guardian or helper besides God

God indeed knows those among you who stop (others) and those who stop to their brothers, “Come to us,” and they do not come to fight but a little

being selfish with respect to you. So when the fear comes, you see them looking at you with their eyes rolling like one under the cover of death, then when the fear goes away, they meet you with sharp tongues, being selfish for good things. Those are the persons who have not believed so God has made their deeds fruitless, and that is easy for God

They think that the armies of enemies have not gone away. And if the armies of enemies should come (again) they would love to be (away) in the desert among the desert Arabs, asking for news about you, and had they been among you they would not have fought, except a little

In the messenger of God, there is indeed a good example for you to follow, for him who expects (to meet) God and (the coming of) the period hereafter and remembers God much

And when the believers saw the armies of enemies, they said, “This is what God and His messenger promised us and God and His messenger spoke the truth.” And nothing increased in them except belief and submission

Among the believers are men who are true to the agreement which they made with God, so among them is he who has fulfilled his vow and among them is he who waits, and they have not changed (by) changing (themselves)

therefore God will reward the truthful for their truth and punish the hypocrites, if He wills, or turn to them (mercifully). God is certainly Protectively Forgiving, Merciful

And those who did not believe were turned back by God in their anger, they did not attain any good, and God was sufficient for the believers in the fighting, and God is certainly Strong, Mighty

And He brought down those from among the owners of the book who helped the (enemies), from their fortresses, and He cast terror into their hearts, a party (of them) you killed and a party you took as prisoners

And He made you heirs of their land and their houses and their wealth and the land on which you had not (even) put your feet (earlier), and God has power over everything

O prophet! say to your wives, “ If you intend (to seek the benefits of) the life of this world and its pomp, then come I will provide for you and let you go a good going away,”

but if you intend (to seek) God and His messenger and the home of the hereafter, then God has certainly prepared a great reward for those who are doers of good among you.”

O wives of the prophet! whoever among you comes with an open indecency, the punishment will be increased for her (by) doubling (it), and that is easy for God

And she among you who is obedient to God and His messenger and does righteous work, We will give her twice her reward and We have prepared for her an honored provision

O wives of the prophet! you are not like any other of the women. If you (wish to) guard (against evil), then do not be soft in your speech (when you talk to other men), lest he in whose heart is a disease, (misunderstandingly) hope, but speak (in) words recognized (as good). heart is a disease, (misunderstandingly) hope, but speak (in) words recognized (as good)

And stay in your houses and do not expose yourselves (in the manner of the) exposition of the earlier days of ignorance (before Islam), and establish worship (salat) and give charity (zakat) and obey God and His messenger. God only intends to remove the uncleanliness from you, O people of the house, and clean you (with a good) cleaning

And remember that which is recited in your houses of the signs of God and the wisdom (its explanation by the messenger of God). God is certainly Subtlety Informed

The Muslim men and the Muslim women, and the believing men and the believing women, and the obedient men and the obedient women and the truthful men and the truthful women and the patient men and the patient women, and the humble men and the humble women and the men who give charity and the women who give charity, and the men who fast and the women who fast and the chaste men and the chaste women and the men who remember God much and the women who remember; God is certainly (ready for their) protective forgiveness and has prepared a great reward for them

It does not befit a believing man or a believing woman, when God and His messenger have decided an affair, to have for themselves any choice in their affair, and he who disobeys God and His messenger, has indeed gone astray (into) clear error

And when you said to him (Zaid) whom God had favored and whom you (too) had favored, “Retain your wife with you and fear God.” And you kept secret in your soul that which God was to expose and you did fear human beings while God has the greater right that you should fear Him. Then, when Zaid fulfilled the necessary (formalities) of (divorcing) her, We joined her to you in marriage, so that there should be no blame on the believers in marrying the wives of their adopted sons, when they fulfill the necessary (formalities) of (divorcing) them, and the order of God was to be executed

And there is no blame on the prophet in (doing) that which God has appointed for him. (That was) God’s procedure with those who passed away earlier. And the order of God is destiny destined

Those who convey the messages of God and fear Him, they fear none except God. And God is sufficient to take account

Muhammad is not the father of any of your men but he is the messenger of God and the seal (last) of the prophets , and God is the Knower of everything

O you who believe! remember God, remembering Him much

and glorify Him morning and evening

He it is Who showers His mercy on you and (also) His angles, so as to bring you out of darkness towards light, and He is merciful to the believers

Their greeting on the day they meet Him will be “Peace,” and He has prepared an honorable reward for them

O prophet! We have certainly sent you as a witness and a conveyer of good news and a warner

and an inviter towards God by His permission, and a lamp giving light

And convey good news to the believers that they will have great grace from God

And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites and disregard their annoyances, and put your trust in God, and God is sufficient as a Trustee

O you who believe! when you marry believing women then divorce them before having touched them, then it is not incumbent on you to count for them the period of (waiting for the next marriage), so provide for them and let them go a good going away. en it is not incumbent on you to count for them the period of (waiting for the next marriage), so provide for them and let them go a good going away

O prophet! We have certainly made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their dowries and those whom your right hand possesses from among the prisoners of war whom God has given to you, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who migrated with you and a believing woman if she gave herself to the prophet, if the prophet (too) intends (to seek) her in marriage, exclusively for you not for the (other) believers, We know what We have appointed for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess, (this is clarified so) that there should not be any blame on you, and God is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful

You may differ (to invite) whom you will from among them, and you may invite to you whom you will, and there is no sin on you, if you seek (one) of those whom you had (temporarily) set aside (for inviting in future), that is nearer for (providing them with) comfort of their eyes and that they may not grieve and be pleased with that which you give to each one of them; and God knows that which is in your hearts and God is Knowing, Clement (Kind)

Women beyond these are not lawful for you, nor (is it lawful) that you should change them for other wives, even if their beauty pleased you, except those whom your right hand possesses, and God is Vigilant over everything

O you who believe! do not enter the houses of the prophet unless permission is given to you, do not wait for a meal (inside the house) till the time it is cooked, but enter when you are invited and when you have (finished) taking the meal then disperse and do not seek to get involved in conversation, that certainly annoys the prophet but he feels shy of you (to ask you to go) while God does not feel shy of the truth. And when you ask the (ladies) for anything, then ask them from behind a curtain, that is cleaner for your hearts and their hearts. And it does not befit you to annoy the messenger of God, nor is it (permissible to you) that you should ever marry his wives after him, that is certainly a great (sin) in the sight of God

Whether you make anything manifest or keep it a secret, God is certainly the Knower of everything

It is no sin for the ladies( to move freely) among their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons or their own women or whom their right hands possess, but fear God, God is certainly a Witness over everything

God and His angels certainly shower mercy on the prophet, O you who believe! you (too) submissively ask for mercy and peace (to be showered) on him

Those who annoy God and His messenger, God has certainly cursed them in the world and the hereafter and He has prepared a disgraceful punishment for them

And those who annoy the believing men and the believing women without their having earned (it), then they indeed bear (the burden of) a false charge and a clear sin

O prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women among the believers to draw close over themselves (something in the form) of their over garments, that will be better for their being recognized so that they may not be annoyed, and God is Protectively, Forgiving, Merciful

If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and those who spread rumors in the city do not desist, We will definitely make you to be after them, then they will not be your neighbors in it, except (for) a little while

accursed, wherever they are found they will be caught and killed by being murdered

That was the procedure of God in (the case of) those who passed away earlier, and you will never find a change in the procedure of God

People ask you about the hour of doom, say, “The knowledge about it is only with God, and what will make you understand, perhaps the hour of doom is near.”

God has certainly cursed the disbelievers and has prepared a blazing fire for them

in which they will remain for ever. They will find neither a guardian nor a helper

The day their faces will be turned in the fire, they will say, “O would that we had obeyed God and obeyed the messenger.”

And they will say, “Our Lord! We certainly obeyed our leaders and our great men so they misled us from the way

Our Lord! give them double the punishment and curse them with a great curse.”

O you who believe! do not be like those who annoyed Moses, so God made him free from that which they said, and he was honorable in the sight of God

O you who believe! fear God and make statements to the point

He will set right for you your deeds and protectively forgive you your sins, and he who obeys God and His messenger, he indeed has achieved a great achievement

We certainly offered the trust (probably the power of decision to obey or not to obey the orders of God) to the skies and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to bear it and became afraid of it, and man (undertook the responsibility of) bearing it (but) he was certainly unjust, ignorant

so God will punish the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women and the polytheist men and the polytheist women, and God will turn (mercifully) to the believing men and the believing women and God is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful
