(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |

In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[33.1] O
Prophet! be careful of (your duty
to) Allah and do not comply with
(the wishes of) the unbelievers and
the hypocrites; surely Allah is
Knowing, Wise;
[33.2] And follow what is
revealed to you from your Lord;
surely Allah is Aware of what you
do;
[33.3] And rely on Allah; and
Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
[33.4] Allah has not made for
any man two hearts within him; nor
has He made your wives whose backs
you liken to the backs of your
mothers as your mothers, nor has He
made those whom you assert to be
your sons your real sons; these are
the words of your mouths; and Allah
speaks the truth and He guides to
the way.
[33.5] Assert their
relationship to their fathers; this
is more equitable with Allah; but if
you do not know their fathers, then
they are your brethren in faith and
your friends; and there is no blame
on you concerning that in which you
made a mistake, but (concerning)
that which your hearts do purposely
(blame may rest on you), and Allah
is Forgiving, Merciful.
[33.6] The Prophet has a
greater claim on the faithful than
they have on themselves, and his
wives are (as) their mothers; and
the possessors of relationship have
the better claim in the ordinance of
Allah to inheritance, one with
respect to another, than (other)
believers, and (than) those who have
fled (their homes), except that you
do some good to your friends; this
is written in the Book.
[33.7] And when We made a
covenant with the prophets and with
you, and with Nuh and Ibrahim and
Musa and Isa, son of Marium, and We
made with them a strong covenant
[33.8] That He may question
the truthful of their truth, and He
has prepared for the unbelievers a
painful punishment.
[33.9] O you who believe!
call to mind the favor of Allah to
you when there came down upon you
hosts, so We sent against them a
strong wind and hosts, that you saw
not, and Allah is Seeing what you
do.
[33.10] When they came upon
you from above you and from below
you, and when the eyes turned dull,
and the hearts rose up to the
throats, and you began to think
diverse thoughts of Allah.
[33.11] There the believers
were tried and they were shaken with
severe shaking.
[33.12] And when the
hypocrites and those in whose hearts
was a disease began to say: Allah
and His Apostle did not promise us
(victory) but only to deceive.
[33.13] And when a party of
them said: O people of Yasrib! there
IS no place to stand for you (here),
therefore go back; and a party of
them asked permission of the
prophet, saying. Surely our houses
are exposed; and they were not
exposed; they only desired to fly
away.
[33.14] And if an entry were
made upon them from the outlying
parts of it, then they were asked to
wage war, they would certainly have
done it, and they would not have
stayed in it but a little while.
[33.15] And certainly they
had made a covenant with Allah
before, that) they would not turn
(their) backs; and Allah's covenant
shall be inquired of.
[33.16] Say: Flight shall not
do you any good if you fly from
death or slaughter, and in that case
you will not be allowed to enjoy
yourselves but a little.
[33.17] Say: Who is it that
can withhold you from Allah if He
intends to do you evil, rather He
intends to show you mercy? And they
will not find for themselves besides
Allah any guardian or a helper.
[33.18] Allah knows indeed
those among you who hinder others
and those who say to their brethren:
Come to us; and they come not to the
fight but a little,
[33.19] Being niggardly with
respect to you; but when fear comes,
you will see them looking to you,
their eyes rolling like one swooning
because of death; but when the fear
is gone they smite you with sharp
tongues, being niggardly of the good
things. These have not believed,
therefore Allah has made their doing
naught; and this is easy to Allah.
[33.20] They think the allies
are not gone, and if the allies
should come (again) they would fain
be in the deserts with the desert
Arabs asking for news about you, and
if they were among you they would
not fight save a little.
[33.21] Certainly you have in
the Apostle of Allah an excellent
exemplar for him who hopes in Allah
and the latter day and remembers
Allah much.
[33.22] And when the
believers saw the allies, they said:
This is what Allah and His Apostle
promised us, and Allah and His
Apostle spoke the truth; and it only
increased them in faith and
submission.
[33.23] Of the believers are
men who are true to the covenant
which they made with Allah: so of
them is he who accomplished his vow,
and of them is he who yet waits, and
they have not changed in the least
[33.24] That Allah may reward
the truthful for their truth, and
punish the hypocrites if He please
or turn to them (mercifully); surely
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[33.25] And Allah turned back
the unbelievers in their rage; they
did not obtain any advantage, and
Allah sufficed the believers in
fighting; and Allah is Strong,
Mighty.
[33.26] And He drove down
those of the followers of the Book
who backed them from their
fortresses and He cast awe into
their hearts; some you killed and
you took captive another part.
[33.27] And He made you heirs
to their land and their dwellings
and their property, and (to) a land
which you have not yet trodden, and
Allah has power over all things.
[33.28] O Prophet! say to
your wives: If you desire this
world's life and its adornment, then
come, I will give you a provision
and allow you to depart a goodly
departing
[33.29] And if you desire
Allah and His Apostle and the latter
abode, then surely Allah has
prepared for the doers of good among
you a mighty reward.
[33.30] O wives of the
prophet! whoever of you commits an
open indecency, the punishment shall
be increased to her doubly; and this
IS easy to Allah.
[33.31] And whoever of you is
obedient to Allah and His Apostle
and does good, We will give to her
reward doubly, and We have prepared
for her an honorable sustenance.
[33.32] O wives of the
Prophet! you are not like any other
of the women; If you will be on your
guard, then be not soft in (your)
speech, lest he in whose heart is a
disease yearn; and speak a good
word.
[33.33] And stay in your
houses and do not display your
finery like the displaying of the
ignorance of yore; and keep up
prayer, and pay the poor-rate, and
obey Allah and His Apostle. Allah
only desires to keep away the
uncleanness from you, O people of
the House! and to purify you a
(thorough) purifying.
[33.34] And keep to mind what
is recited in your houses of the
communications of Allah and the
wisdom; surely Allah is Knower of
subtleties, Aware.
[33.35] Surely the men who
submit and the women who submit, and
the believing men and the believing
women, and the obeying men and the
obeying 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 almsgiving men and
the almsgiving women, and the
fasting men and the fasting women,
and the men who guard their private
parts and the women who guard, and
the men who remember Allah much and
the women who remember-- Allah has
prepared for them forgiveness and a
mighty reward.
[33.36] And it behooves not a
believing man and a believing woman
that they should have any choice in
their matter when Allah and His
Apostle have decided a matter; and
whoever disobeys Allah and His
Apostle, he surely strays off a
manifest straying.
[33.37] And when you said to
him to whom Allah had shown favor
and to whom you had shown a favor:
Keep your wife to yourself and be
careful of (your duty to) Allah; and
you concealed in your soul what
Allah would bring to light, and you
feared men, and Allah had a greater
right that you should fear Him. But
when Zaid had accomplished his want
of her, We gave her to you as a
wife, so that there should be no
difficulty for the believers in
respect of the wives of their
adopted sons, when they have
accomplished their want of them; and
Allah's command shall be performed.
[33.38] There is no harm in
the Prophet doing that which Allah
has ordained for him; such has been
the course of Allah with respect to
those who have gone before; and the
command of Allah is a decree that is
made absolute:
[33.39] Those who deliver the
messages of Allah and fear Him, and
do not fear any one but Allah; and
Allah is sufficient to take account.
[33.40] Muhammad is not the
father of any of your men, but he is
the Apostle of Allah and the Last of
the prophets; and Allah is cognizant
of all things.
[33.41] O you who believe!
remember Allah, remembering
frequently,
[33.42] And glorify Him
morning and evening.
[33.43] He it is Who sends
His blessings on you, and (so do)
His angels, that He may bring you
forth out of utter darkness into the
light; and He is Merciful to the
believers.
[33.44] Their salutation on
the day that they meet Him shall be,
Peace, and He has prepared for them
an honorable reward.
[33.45] O Prophet! surely We
have sent you as a witness, and as a
bearer of good news and as a warner,
[33.46] And as one inviting
to Allah by His permission, and as a
light-giving torch.
[33.47] And give to the
believers the good news that they
shall have a great grace from Allah.
[33.48] And be not compliant
to the unbelievers and the
hypocrites, and leave unregarded
their annoying talk, and rely on
Allah; and Allah is sufficient as a
Protector.
[33.49] O you who believe!
when you marry the believing women,
then divorce them before you touch
them, you have in their case no term
which you should reckon; so make
some provision for them and send
them forth a goodly sending forth.
[33.50] O Prophet! surely We
have made lawful to you your wives
whom you have given their dowries,
and those whom your right hand
possesses out of those whom Allah
has given to you as prisoners of
war, 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 fled with you; and a
believing woman if she gave herself
to the Prophet, if the Prophet
desired to marry her-- specially for
you, not for the (rest of)
believers; We know what We have
ordained for them concerning their
wives and those whom their right
hands possess in order that no blame
may attach to you; and Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.
[33.51] You may put off whom
you please of them, and you may take
to you whom you please, and whom you
desire of those whom you had
separated provisionally; no blame
attaches to you; this is most
proper, so that their eyes may be
cool and they may not grieve, and
that they should be pleased, all of
them with what you give them, and
Allah knows what is in your hearts;
and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.
[33.52] It is not allowed to
you to take women afterwards, nor
that you should change them for
other wives, though their beauty be
pleasing to you, except what your
right hand possesses and Allah is
Watchful over all things.
[33.53] O you who believe! do
not enter the houses of the Prophet
unless permission is given to you
for a meal, not waiting for its
cooking being finished-- but when
you are invited, enter, and when you
have taken the food, then disperse--
not seeking to listen to talk;
surely this gives the Prophet
trouble, but he forbears from you,
and Allah does not forbear from the
truth And when you ask of them any
goods, ask of them from behind a
curtain; this is purer for your
hearts and (for) their hearts; and
it does not behoove you that you
should give trouble to the Apostle
of Allah, nor that you should marry
his wives after him ever; surely
this is grievous in the sight of
Allah.
[33.54] If you do a thing
openly or do it in secret, then
surely Allah is Cognizant of all
things.
[33.55] There is no blame on
them in respect of their fathers,
nor their brothers, nor their
brothers' sons, nor their sisters'
sons nor their own women, nor of
what their right hands possess; and
be careful of (your duty to) Allah;
surely Allah is a witness of all
things.
[33.56] Surely Allah and His
angels bless the Prophet; O you who
believe! call for (Divine) blessings
on him and salute him with a
(becoming) salutation.
[33.57] Surely (as for) those
who speak evil things of Allah and
His Apostle, Allah has cursed them
in this world and the here after,
and He has prepared for them a
chastisement bringing disgrace.
[33.58] And those who speak
evil things of the believing men and
the believing women without their
having earned (it), they are guilty
indeed of a false accusation and a
manifest sin.
[33.59] O Prophet! say to
your wives and your daughters and
the women of the believers that they
let down upon them their
over-garments; this will be more
proper, that they may be known, and
thus they will not be given trouble;
and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[33.60] If the hypocrites and
those in whose hearts is a disease
and the agitators in the city do not
desist, We shall most certainly set
you over them, then they shall not
be your neighbors in it but for a
little while;
[33.61] Cursed: wherever they
are found they shall be seized and
murdered, a (horrible) murdering.
[33.62] (Such has been) the
course of Allah with respect to
those who have gone before; and you
shall not find any change in the
course of Allah.
[33.63] Men ask you about the
hour; say: The knowledge of it is
only with Allah, and what will make
you comprehend that the : hour may
be nigh.
[33.64] Surely Allah has
cursed the unbelievers and has
prepared for them a burning fire,
[33.65] To abide therein for
a long time; they shall not find a
protector or a helper.
[33.66] On the day when their
faces shall be turned back into the
fire, they shall say: O would that
we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the
Apostle!
[33.67] And they shall say: O
our Lord! surely we obeyed our
leaders and our great men, so they
led us astray from the path;
[33.68] O our Lord! give them
a double punishment and curse them
with a great curse.
[33.69] O you who believe! be
not like those who spoke evil things
of Musa, but Allah cleared him of
what they said, and he was worthy of
regard with Allah.
[33.70] O you who believe! be
careful of (your duty to) Allah and
speak the right word,
[33.71] He will put your
deeds into a right state for you,
and forgive you your faults; and
whoever obeys Allah and His Apostle,
he indeed achieves a mighty success.
[33.72] Surely We offered the
trust to the heavens and the earth
and the mountains, but they refused
to be unfaithful to it and feared
from it, and man has turned
unfaithful to it; surely he is
unjust, ignorant;
[33.73] So Allah will
chastise the hypocritical men and
the hypocritical women and the
polytheistic men and the
polytheistic women, and Allah will
turn (mercifully) to the believing
women, and Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful. |
