33) Sūrat Al-'Aĥzāb

Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nabīyu Attaqi Al-Laha Wa Lā Tuţi`i Al-Kāfirīna Wa Al-Munāfiqīna 'Inna Al-Laha Kāna `Alīmāan Ĥakīmāan O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Keep your duty to Allāh, and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites (i.e., do not follow their advices). Verily! Allāh is Ever All­Knower, All­Wise. (Al-Ahzab 33:1)
Wa Attabi` Mā Yūĥá 'Ilayka Min Rabbika 'Inna Al-Laha Kāna Bimā Ta`malūna Khabīrāan And follow that which is inspired in you from your Lord. Verily, Allāh is Well­Acquainted with what you do. (Al-Ahzab 33:2)
Wa Tawakkal `Alá Al-Lahi Wa Kafá Bil-Lahi Wa Kīlāan And put your trust in Allāh, and Sufficient is Allāh as a Wakīl (Trustee, or Disposer of affairs). (Al-Ahzab 33:3)
Mā Ja`ala Al-Lahu Lirajulin Min Qalbayni Fī Jawfihi Wa Mā Ja`ala 'Azwājakumu Al-Lā'ī Tužāhirūna Minhunna 'Ummahātikum Wa Mā Ja`ala 'Ad`iyā'akum 'Abnā'akum Dhālikum Qawlukum Bi'afwāhikum Wa Allāhu Yaqūlu Al-Ĥaqqa Wa Huwa Yahdī As-Sabīla Allāh has not put for any man two hearts inside his body. Neither has He made your wives whom you declare to be like your mothers' backs, your real mothers. [Az­Zihār is the saying of a husband to his wife, "You are to me like the back of my mother" i.e. You are unlawful for me to approach.], nor has He made your adopted sons your real sons. That is but your saying with your mouths. But Allāh says the truth, and He guides to the (Right) Way. (Al-Ahzab 33:4)
Ad`ūhum Li'abā'ihim Huwa 'Aqsaţu `Inda Al-Lahi Fa'in Lam Ta`lamū 'Ābā'ahum Fa'ikhwānukum Fī Ad-Dīni Wa Mawālīkum Wa Laysa `Alaykum Junāĥun Fīmā 'Akhţa'tum Bihi Wa Lakin Mā Ta`ammadat Qulūbukum Wa Kāna Al-Lahu Ghafūrāan Raĥīmāan Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allāh. But if you know not their father's (names, call them) your brothers in faith and Mawālīkum (your freed slaves). And there is no sin on you if you make a mistake therein, except in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend. And Allāh is Ever Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al-Ahzab 33:5)
An-Nabīyu 'Awlá Bil-Mu'uminīna Min 'Anfusihim Wa 'Azwājuhu 'Ummahātuhum Wa 'Ū Al-'Arĥāmi Ba`đuhum 'Awlá Biba`đin Fī Kitābi Al-Lahi Mina Al-Mu'uminīna Wa Al-Muhājirīna 'Illā 'An Taf`alū 'Ilá 'Awliyā'ikum Ma`rūfāan Kāna Dhālika Fī Al-Kitābi Masţūrāan The Prophet is closer to the believers than their ownselves, and his wives are their (believers') mothers (as regards respect and marriage). And blood relations among each other have closer personal ties in the Decree of Allāh (regarding inheritance) than (the brotherhood of) the believers and the Muhajirûn (emigrants from Makkah, etc.), except that you do kindness to those brothers (when the Prophet SAW joined them in brotherhood ties). This has been written in the (Allāh's Book of Divine) Decrees (Al­Lauh Al­Mahfûz)." (Al-Ahzab 33:6)
Wa 'Idh 'Akhadhnā Mina An-Nabīyīna Mīthāqahum Wa Minka Wa Min Nūĥin Wa 'Ibrāhīma Wa Mūsá Wa `Īsá Abni Maryama Wa 'Akhadhnā Minhumthāqāan Ghalīžāan And (remember) when We took from the Prophets their covenant, and from you (O Muhammad SAW), and from Nûh (Noah), Ibrāhim (Abraham), Mûsa (Moses), and 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). We took from them a strong covenant. (Al-Ahzab 33:7)
Liyas'ala Aş-Şādiqīna `An Şidqihim Wa 'A`adda Lilkāfirīna `Adhābāan 'Alīmāan That He may ask the truthfuls (Allāh's Messengers and His Prophets) about their truth (i.e. the conveyance of Allāh's Message that which they were charged with). And He has prepared for the disbelievers a painful torment (Hell-fire). (Al-Ahzab 33:8)
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Adhkurū Ni`mata Al-Lahi `Alaykum 'Idh Jā'atkum Junūdun Fa'arsalnā `Alayhim Rīĥāan Wa Junūdāan Lam Tarawhā Wa Kāna Al-Lahu Bimā Ta`malūna Başīrāan O you who believe! Remember Allāh's Favour to you, when there came against you hosts, and We sent against them a wind and forces that you saw not [i.e. troops of angels during the battle of Al­Ahzāb (the Confederates)]. And Allāh is Ever All­Seer of what you do. (Al-Ahzab 33:9)
'Idh Jā'ūkum Min Fawqikum Wa Min 'Asfala Minkum Wa 'Idhghati Al-'Abşāru Wa Balaghati Al-Qulūbu Al-Ĥanājira Wa Tažunnūna Bil-Lahi Až-Žunūna When they came upon you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes grew wild and the hearts reached to the throats, and you were harbouring doubts about Allāh. (Al-Ahzab 33:10)
Hunālika Abtuliya Al-Mu'uminūna Wa Zulzilū Zilzālāan Shadīdāan There, the believers were tried and shaken with a mighty shaking. (Al-Ahzab 33:11)
Wa 'Idh Yaqūlu Al-Munāfiqūna Wa Al-Ladhīna Fī Qulūbihim Marađun Mā Wa`adanā Al-Lahu Wa Rasūluhu 'Illā Ghurūrāan And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubts) said: "Allāh and His Messenger (SAW) promised us nothing but delusions!" (Al-Ahzab 33:12)
Wa 'Idh Qālat Ţā'ifatun Minhum Yā 'Ahla Yathriba Lā Muqāma Lakum Fārji`ū Wa Yasta'dhinu Farīqun Minhumu An-Nabīya Yaqūlūna 'Inna Buyūtanā `Awratun Wa Mā Hiya Bi`awratin 'In Yurīdūna 'Illā Firārāan And when a party of them said: "O people of Yathrib (Al­Madinah)! There is no stand (possible) for you (against the enemy attack!) Therefore go back!" And a band of them ask for permission of the Prophet ( SAW) saying: "Truly, our homes lie open (to the enemy)." And they lay not open. They but wished to flee. (Al-Ahzab 33:13)
Wa Law Dukhilat `Alayhim Min 'Aqţārihā Thumma Su'ilū Al-Fitnata La'ātawhā Wa Mā Talabbathū Bihā 'Illā Yasīrāan And if the enemy had entered from all sides (of the city), and they had been exhorted to Al­Fitnah (i.e. to renegade from Islām to polytheism) they would surely have committed it and would have hesitated thereupon but little. (Al-Ahzab 33:14)
Wa Laqad Kānū `Āhadū Al-Laha Min Qablu Lā Yuwallūna Al-'Adbāra Wa Kāna `Ahdu Al-Lahi Mas'ūan And indeed they had already made a covenant with Allāh not to turn their backs, and a covenant with Allāh must be answered for. (Al-Ahzab 33:15)
Qul Lan Yanfa`akumu Al-Firāru 'In Farartum Mina Al-Mawti 'Awi Al-Qatli Wa 'Idhāan Lā Tumatta`ūna 'Illā Qalīlāan Say (O Muhammad SAW to these hypocrites who ask your permission to run away from you): "Flight will not avail you if you flee from death or killing, and then you will enjoy no more than a little while!" (Al-Ahzab 33:16)
Qul Man Dhā Al-Ladhī Ya`şimukum Mina Al-Lahi 'In 'Arāda Bikum Sū'āan 'Aw 'Arāda Bikum Raĥmatan Wa Lā Yajidūna Lahum Min Dūni Al-Lahi Walīyāan Wa Lā Naşīrāan Say: "Who is he who can protect you from Allāh if He intends to harm you, or intends mercy on you?" And they will not find, besides Allāh, for themselves any Walī (protector, supporter, etc.) or any helper. (Al-Ahzab 33:17)
Qad Ya`lamu Al-Lahu Al-Mu`awwiqīna Minkum Wa Al-Qā'ilīna Li'ikhwānihim Halumma 'Ilaynā Wa Lā Ya'tūna Al-Ba'sa 'Illā Qalīlāan Allāh already knows those among you who keep back (men) from fighting in Allāh's Cause, and those who say to their brethren "Come here towards us," while they (themselves) come not to the battle except a little. (Al-Ahzab 33:18)
'Ashiĥĥatan `Alaykum Fa'idhā Jā'a Al-Khawfu Ra'aytahum Yanžurūna 'Ilayka Tadūru 'A`yunuhum Kālladhī Yughshá `Alayhi Mina Al-Mawti Fa'idhā Dhahaba Al-Khawfu Salaqūkum Bi'alsinatin Ĥidādin 'Ashiĥĥatan `Alá Al-Khayri 'Ūlā'ika Lam Yu'uminū Fa'aĥbaţa Al-Lahu 'A`mālahum Wa Kāna Dhālika `Alá Al-Lahi Yasīrāan Being miserly towards you (as regards help and aid in Allāh's Cause). Then when fear comes, you will see them looking to you, their eyes revolving like (those of) one over whom hovers death, but when the fear departs, they will smite you with sharp tongues, miserly towards (spending anything in any) good (and only covetous of booty and wealth). Such have not believed. Therefore Allāh makes their deeds fruitless, and that is ever easy for Allāh. (Al-Ahzab 33:19)
Yaĥsabūna Al-'Aĥzāba Lam Yadh/habū Wa 'In Ya'ti Al-'Aĥzābu Yawaddū Law 'Annahum Bādūna Fī Al-'A`rābi Yas'alūna `An 'Anbā'ikum Wa Law Kānū Fīkum Mā Qātalū 'Illā Qalīlāan They think that Al­Ahzāb (the Confederates) have not yet withdrawn, and if Al­Ahzāb (the Confederates) should come (again), they would wish they were in the deserts (wandering) among the bedouins, seeking news about you (from a far place); and if they (happen) to be among you, they would not fight but little. (Al-Ahzab 33:20)
Laqad Kāna Lakum Fī Rasūli Al-Lahi 'Uswatun Ĥasanatun Liman Kāna Yarjū Al-Laha Wa Al-Yawma Al-'Ākhira Wa Dhakara Al-Laha Kathīrāan Indeed in the Messenger of Allāh (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allāh and the Last Day and remembers Allāh much. (Al-Ahzab 33:21)
Wa Lammā Ra'á Al-Mu'uminūna Al-'Aĥzāba Qālū Hādhā Mā Wa`adanā Al-Lahu Wa Rasūluhu Wa Şadaqa Al-Lahu Wa Rasūluhu Wa Mā Zādahum 'Illā 'Īmānāan Wa Taslīmāan And when the believers saw Al­Ahzāb (the Confederates), they said: "This is what Allāh and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) had promised us, and Allāh and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) had spoken the truth, and it only added to their faith and to their submissiveness (to Allāh). (Al-Ahzab 33:22)
Mina Al-Mu'uminīna Rijālun Şadaqū Mā `Āhadū Al-Laha `Alayhi Faminhum Man Qađá Naĥbahu Wa Minhum Man Yantažiru Wa Mā Baddalū Tabdīlāan Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allāh [i.e. they have gone out for Jihād (holy fighting), and showed not their backs to the disbelievers], of them some have fulfilled their obligations (i.e. have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed [i.e.they never proved treacherous to their covenant which they concluded with Allāh] in the least. (Al-Ahzab 33:23)
Liyajziya Al-Lahu Aş-Şādiqīna Bişidqihim Wa Yu`adhdhiba Al-Munāfiqīna 'In Shā'a 'Aw Yatūba `Alayhim 'Inna Al-Laha Kāna Ghafūrāan Raĥīmāan That Allāh may reward the men of truth for their truth (i.e. for their patience at the accomplishment of that which they covenanted with Allāh), and punish the hypocrites if He will or accept their repentance by turning to them in Mercy. Verily, Allāh is Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al-Ahzab 33:24)

Allāh sufficed for the believers in the fighting (by sending against the disbelievers a severe wind and troops of angels). And Allāh is Ever All­Strong, All­Mighty. (Al-Ahzab 33:25)
Wa 'Anzala Al-Ladhīna Žāharūhum Min 'Ahli Al-Kitābi Min Şayāşīhim Wa Qadhafa Fī Qulūbihimu Ar-Ru`ba Farīqāan Taqtulūna Wa Ta'sirūna Farīqāan And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allāh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives. (Al-Ahzab 33:26)
Wa 'Awrathakum 'Arđahum Wa Diyārahum Wa 'Amwālahum Wa 'Arđāan Lam Taţa'ūhā Wa Kāna Al-Lahu `Alá Kulli Shay'in Qadīrāan And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allāh is Able to do all things. (Al-Ahzab 33:27)
Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nabīyu Qul Li'zwājika 'In Kuntunna Turidna Al-Ĥayā Ata Ad-Dunyā Wa Zīnatahā Fata`ālayna 'Umatti`kunna Wa 'Usarriĥkunna Sarāĥāan Jamīlāan O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, Then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner (divorce). (Al-Ahzab 33:28)
Wa 'In Kuntunna Turidna Al-Laha Wa Rasūlahu Wa Ad-Dāra Al-'Ākhirata Fa'inna Al-Laha 'A`adda Lilmuĥsināti Minkunna 'Ajrāan `Ažīmāan But if you desire Allāh and His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter, then verily, Allāh has prepared for Al­Muhsināt (good­doers) amongst you an enormous reward. (Al-Ahzab 33:29)
Yā Nisā'a An-Nabīyi Man Ya'ti Minkunna Bifāĥishatin Mubayyinatin Yuđā`af Lahā Al-`Adhābu Đi`fayni Wa Kāna Dhālika `Alá Al-Lahi Yasīrāan O wives of the Prophet! Whoever of you commits an open illegal sexual intercourse, the torment for her will be doubled, and that is ever easy for Allāh. (Al-Ahzab 33:30)
Wa Man Yaqnut Minkunna Lillahi Wa Rasūlihi Wa Ta`mal Şāliĥāan Nu'utihā 'Ajrahā Marratayni Wa 'A`tadnā Lahā Rizqāan Karīmāan And whosoever of you is obedient to Allāh and His Messenger SAW , and does righteous good deeds, We shall give her, her reward twice over, and We have prepared for her Rizqan Karima (a noble provision Paradise). (Al-Ahzab 33:31)

You are not like any other women. If you keep your duty (to Allāh), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery, etc.) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner. (Al-Ahzab 33:32)

Allāh wishes only to remove Ar­Rijs (evil deeds and sins, etc.) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet SAW), and to purify you with a thorough purification. (Al-Ahzab 33:33)
Wa Adhkurna Mā Yutlá Fī Buyūtikunna Min 'Āyāti Al-Lahi Wa Al-Ĥikmati 'Inna Al-Laha Kāna Laţīfāan Khabīrāan And remember (O you the members of the Prophet's family, the Graces of your Lord), that which is recited in your houses of the Verses of Allāh and Al­Hikmah (i.e. Prophet's Sunnah legal ways, etc. so give your thanks to Allāh and glorify His Praises for this Qur'an and the Sunnah). Verily, Allāh is Ever Most Courteous, Well­Acquainted with all things. (Al-Ahzab 33:34)

(Al-Ahzab 33:35)

And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error. (Al-Ahzab 33:36)

But you did hide in yourself (i.e. what Allāh has already made known to you that He will give her to you in marriage) that which Allāh will make manifest, you did fear the people (i.e., Muhammad SAW married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allāh had a better right that you should fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no desire to keep them (i.e. they have divorced them). And Allāh's Command must be fulfilled. (Al-Ahzab 33:37)

(Al-Ahzab 33:46)

When you marry believing women, and then divorce them before you have sexual intercourse with them, no 'Iddah [divorce prescribed period, see (V.65:4)] have you to count in respect of them. So give them a present, and set them free i.e. divorce, in a handsome manner. (Al-Ahzab 33:49)

Indeed We know what We have enjoined upon them about their wives and those (captives or slaves) whom their right hands possess, - in order that there should be no difficulty on you. And Allāh is Ever Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al-Ahzab 33:50)

And whomsoever you desire of those whom you have set aside (her turn temporarily), it is no sin on you (to receive her again), that is better; that they may be comforted and not grieved, and may all be pleased with what you give them. Allāh knows what is in your hearts. And Allāh is Ever All­Knowing, Most Forbearing. (Al-Ahzab 33:51)

Enter not the Prophet's houses, except when leave is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation. But when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meal, disperse, without sitting for a talk. Verily, such (behaviour) annoys the Prophet, and he is shy of (asking) you (to go), but Allāh is not shy of (telling you) the truth. And when you ask (his wives) for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen, that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts. And it is not (right) for you that you should annoy Allāh's Messenger, nor that you should ever marry his wives after him (his death). Verily! With Allāh that shall be an enormity. (Al-Ahzab 33:53)
'In TubShay'āan 'Aw Tukhfūhu Fa'inna Al-Laha Kāna Bikulli Shay'in `Alīmāan Whether you reveal anything or conceal it, verily, Allāh is Ever All­Knower of everything. (Al-Ahzab 33:54)

Verily, Allāh is Ever All­Witness over everything. (Al-Ahzab 33:55)
'Inna Al-Laha Wa Malā'ikatahu Yuşallūna `Alá An-Nabīyi Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Şallū `Alayhi Wa Sallimū Taslīmāan Allāh sends His Salāt (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad SAW) and also His angels too (ask Allāh to bless and forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salāt on (ask Allāh to bless) him (Muhammad SAW), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islāmic way of greeting (salutation i.e. As­Salāmu 'Alaikum). (Al-Ahzab 33:56)

Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allāh is Ever Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al-Ahzab 33:59)
La'in Lam Yantahi Al-Munāfiqūna Wa Al-Ladhīna Fī Qulūbihim Marađun Wa Al-Murjifūna Fī Al-Madīnati Lanughriyannaka Bihim Thumma Lā Yujāwirūnaka Fīhā 'Illā Qalīlāan If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease (evil desire for adultery, etc.), and those who spread false news among the people in Al­Madinah, cease not, We shall certainly let you overpower them, then they will not be able to stay in it as your neighbours but a little while.

And whosoever obeys Allāh and His Messenger (SAW) he has indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved from the Hell-fire and made to enter Paradise). (Al-Ahzab 33:71)
