Translation of the Holy Quran by Dr. Gilani

 

The (combined) Parties  -  Chapter 33                |                                     Contains 73 Verses – Medina  

 

 بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

 

1-

O prophet (Muhammad), be ever conscious of God and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites.
Truly, God is Ever All Knowing, All Wise

وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

 

2-

But follow that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, as God is Ever All Aware of what you are doing

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا

 

3-

And put all your trust in God, for God is Sufficient as the Ultimate Trustee

مَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِّن قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَزْوَاجَكُمُ اللَّائِي تُظَاهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ
      وَمَا جَعَلَ أَدْعِيَاءكُمْ أَبْنَاءكُمْ ذَلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُم بِأَفْوَاهِكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِي السَّبِيلَ

 

4-

God did not place two sets of hearts inside the body of a man,
just as He never declared unlawful to you your wives which you declare
“as unlawful to you as your own mothers' backs” (to get rid of them easily),
nor has He ever declared your adopted sons “as truly your own sons”.
That is your own statement made by your mouths,
(thinking that by just saying such things, your wives will become unlawful to you or by just declaring once,
a child of someone else becomes your own child),
whereas God is the One Who always says the ultimate truth and He guides to the right way.

ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ اللَّهِ فَإِن لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوا آبَاءهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَمَوَالِيكُمْ وَلَيْسَ
      عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا أَخْطَأْتُم بِهِ وَلَكِن مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

 

5-

Call them (your adopted children) by their real names given by their fathers;
that is more correct and fair in sight of God.
But if you do not know who their real fathers were,
then consider them and call them as your brothers in faith and your friends, and those entrusted to you.
And it is not considered as a sin if you made a mistake how you called them,
but it is important how your hearts intended (to view them and call them) on purpose.
And God is Ever Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people).

النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ وَأُوْلُو الْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَى بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ
      مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِلَّا أَن تَفْعَلُوا إِلَى أَوْلِيَائِكُم مَّعْرُوفًا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا

 

6-

The prophet is more important to the believers than themselves and their own relatives
and his wives are considered as (important as) their mothers.
And as to the blood-relatives, some are according to the Book of God, of higher importance than others,
and compared to the believers and those who emigrated
(with the prophet or later from Mecca to Medina, fleeing the offending idol worshipers).
However, you are to treat your close friends with fairness and kindness.
This is written down in God’s Book of Decrees (in previous Scripture and in the Quran).

وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَاقًا غَلِيظًا

 

7-

And mention, when We accepted a solemn pledge from all the prophets,
from you (Muhammad) as well as from Noah, from Abraham, from Moses and from Jesus, son of Mary.
And We did accept a strong pledge from all of them
(that they would spread and convey the Revelations to the best of their abilities),

لِيَسْأَلَ الصَّادِقِينَ عَن صِدْقِهِمْ وَأَعَدَّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا

 

8-

So that He would ask the truthful persons about (their response and) their truthfulness.
And grievous, painful suffering He has prepared (as Hell) for those who deny the truth.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ جَاءتْكُمْ جُنُودٌ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا وَجُنُودًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرًا

 

9-

O you who believe, remember the favor of God upon you,
when hosts of enemies came down against you,
We then sent against them a stormy wind (with dust and sand)
and forces (of angels) which you did not see (during the battle of the confederate parties against the Muslims)
and God is Ever Observing over all that you do.

إِذْ جَاؤُوكُم مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتْ الْأَبْصَارُ وَبَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِاللَّهِ الظُّنُونَا

 

10-

10. (Remember) when they came upon you from (the hills) above you and from (the lower terrain) below you
and when eyes became fixed and wild-looking, the hearts reached about the throat (beating fast out of fear)
and you had very conflicting thoughts about God (‘s Help),

هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُوا زِلْزَالًا شَدِيدًا

 

11-

As there and then, the believers were tested and were shaken very severely,

وَإِذْ يَقُولُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ مَّا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا

 

12-

At which time also the hypocrites and those in whose hearts there is a disease (of insecurity and doubts), said:
“God and His Messenger promised us nothing but a deceit.”

وَإِذْ قَالَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوا وَيَسْتَأْذِنُ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا
      عَوْرَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ إِن يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا

 

13-

And when some of them said:
“O people of Yathrib (Medina), there is no chance for you to stand (against the enemy), therefore go back”.
And a band of them even asked leave of the Prophet (Muhammad), saying:
“Our houses are really exposed and open (to the enemy)".
But they were in fact not exposed; they only wanted to flee

وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُئِلُوا الْفِتْنَةَ لَآتَوْهَا وَمَا تَلَبَّثُوا بِهَا إِلَّا يَسِيرًا

 

14-

And if the enemy had stormed them from all sides of the town,
and then they would have been asked to commit return to paganism (away from Islam),
they would easily have done so without much hesitation.

وَلَقَدْ كَانُوا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ مِن قَبْلُ لَا يُوَلُّونَ الْأَدْبَارَ وَكَانَ عَهْدُ اللَّهِ مَسْؤُولًا

 

15-

Although they had indeed promised God before that they would not turn their backs
and any promise made to God will be questioned about.

قُل لَّن يَنفَعَكُمُ الْفِرَارُ إِن فَرَرْتُم مِّنَ الْمَوْتِ أَوِ الْقَتْلِ وَإِذًا لَّا تُمَتَّعُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

 

16-

(O Muhammad to those hypocrites) say:
“Fleeing away won’t help you, if you flee from death or from being killed (in battle)
and even then you won’t enjoy life, but for a little while”.

16- اي پيامبر بگو: فرار برايتان نفعي ندارد كه اگر از مرگ يا كشته شدن فرار كنيد، فقط جز بهره كمي از زندگي دنيا نخواهيد داشت. 

 

قُلْ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَعْصِمُكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ سُوءًا أَوْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ رَحْمَةً وَلَا يَجِدُونَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا

 

17-

Say: “Who could ever protect you from God, if He intends to harm you
or can keep away His Mercy from you when He intends it for you?”
(They should know that) besides God, they can not find anyone as a true protector or helper.

17- بگو: اگر خداوند مصيبت و يا رحمتي برايتان اراده بفرمايد، چه كسي مي‌تواند در برابر اراده و امر الهي در مورد شما، جلوگيری کند؟
     و آنها جز خدا هيچ سرپرست، نگهدار و ياوري نخواهند يافت. 

 

قَدْ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ الْمُعَوِّقِينَ مِنكُمْ وَالْقَائِلِينَ لِإِخْوَانِهِمْ هَلُمَّ إِلَيْنَا وَلَا يَأْتُونَ الْبَأْسَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

 

18-

God certainly knows very well which ones of you held back others (from fighting defensive battle in His Cause)
and those who tell their brothers (close friends):
“Come here to us,”
yet they do not (themselves) engage in battle but a little or seldom,

18- البته خدا كساني را كه مردم را از شركت در دفاع باز مي‌دارند و به برادران‌شان مي‌گفتند كه " نزد ما بيائيد "
     و خود جز اندكي در جنگ شرکت نميکردند، خوب مي‌شناسد.

 

أَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْ فَإِذَا جَاء الْخَوْفُ رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ تَدُورُ أَعْيُنُهُمْ كَالَّذِي يُغْشَى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ
       الْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُم بِأَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ أَشِحَّةً عَلَى الْخَيْرِ أُوْلَئِكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا فَأَحْبَطَ اللَّهُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرًا

 

19-

They are being cheap and miserly towards you.
And when danger and fear come to them, you see them looking at you,
their eyes rolling (from fear) like the eyes of a person who is overshadowed by death.
Then when the fear and danger passes, they will hurt you with awful sharp words of language,
while being miserly (waning booties) and withholding from all that is good.
Such people have no faith, therefore God makes all their works worthless and that is easy for God.

يَحْسَبُونَ الْأَحْزَابَ لَمْ يَذْهَبُوا وَإِن يَأْتِ الْأَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّوا لَوْ أَنَّهُم بَادُونَ فِي الْأَعْرَابِ يَسْأَلُونَ
      عَنْ أَنبَائِكُمْ وَلَوْ كَانُوا فِيكُم مَّا قَاتَلُوا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

 

20-

They think the confederate parties (against you) have not yet withdrawn
and should the confederates return, these (hypocrites among you) would wish they were in the desert,
among the Bedouins, asking news about you (believers, from far away)
and if they happen to be amongst you, they would seldom fight.

لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا

 

21-

Indeed the Messenger of God has been an outstanding example and role-model for you,
and for whoever hopes forward for the Grace of God,
for the Last Day (Resurrection) and remembers God very often.

وَلَمَّا رَأَى الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْأَحْزَابَ قَالُوا هَذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَصَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَمَا زَادَهُمْ إِلَّا إِيمَانًا وَتَسْلِيمًا

 

22-

And so when the believers saw the confederate parties (who came to fight them all the way to Medina) they said:
“This is what God and His Messenger had promised us and God and His Messenger had told the truth”.
And all this only increased their faith and their readiness to submit themselves (to God).

مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا

 

23-

From among the believers, there are men who have been true to their promise they made to God
(to participate in holy defensive battles),
some of them have already fulfilled their obligations (were martyred)
and some of them are expecting (possible martyrdom)
and they have not changed (their attitude or readiness) at all.

لِيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ الصَّادِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِن شَاء أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

 

24-

So that God will reward the truthful person for their staying truthful and will punish the hypocrites,
if He so decides, or accepts their repentance (their asking for forgiveness and deciding to be good and faithful).
In fact God is Ever Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people).

وَرَدَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِغَيْظِهِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوا خَيْرًا وَكَفَى اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْقِتَالَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا

 

25-

And God drove back the (attacking) disbelievers in their rage and ferocity (against the Muslims),
they gained no advantage and God (’s help) was Sufficient for the believers in the battle
(such as by blowing severe wind and sand against the disbelievers in that battle).
And note that God is Ever All Powerful, All Supreme.

وَأَنزَلَ الَّذِينَ ظَاهَرُوهُم مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِن صَيَاصِيهِمْ وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ فَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ وَتَأْسِرُونَ فَرِيقًا

 

26-

Also He brought down those members of the Scriptures (some Jews of Medina) who backed them
(the disbelievers in their fighting against the Muslims),
down from their forts and cast fear into their hearts, so that you killed some of them and you captured some others.

وَأَوْرَثَكُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيَارَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَأَرْضًا لَّمْ تَطَؤُوهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرًا

 

27-

And He caused you to inherit their lands, their houses,
their riches and a land, on which you had never been before.
And God is Ever Able to do all things

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ إِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا

 

28-

O prophet (Muhammad) say to your wives:
“If you desire the life of this world and its luxury, then come.
I will make a provision of share for you and set you free (in divorce) in a nice manner.”

وَإِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

 

29-

“But if you desire God and His Messenger and the good home of the Hereafter,
then (you should know that) God has prepared a great reward for the good behaving ones amongst you.”

يَا نِسَاء النَّبِيِّ مَن يَأْتِ مِنكُنَّ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ يُضَاعَفْ لَهَا الْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَيْنِ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرًا

 

30-

O you the wives of the prophet, if anyone of you commits an evident illegal sexual act,
(should know that) her punishment will be doubled and that is easy for God.

وَمَن يَقْنُتْ مِنكُنَّ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا نُّؤْتِهَا أَجْرَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهَا رِزْقًا كَرِيمًا

 

31-

And any of you who is obedient to God and His Messenger and acts in a righteous good manner,
We shall give her, her due reward twice over and We have prepared a noble provision (in Paradise as well) for her.

يَا نِسَاء النَّبِيِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍ مِّنَ النِّسَاء إِنِ اتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا

 

32-

O you wives of the Prophet, your standing is not the same as other women.
If you are mindful (of God), then do not speak so softly as to excite a man in whose heart is the disease of hypocrisy,
to have desire (to advance on you), but speak in an ordinary honorable manner.

وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَى وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
      إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا

 

33-

And stay in your houses and do not show off yourselves like the time of ignorance before (Islam).
And do keep up your regular prayers and pay in charity and obey God and His Messenger.
In fact God wants to remove any evil from you (males and females),
O members of the family (of the prophet) and to purify you thoroughly.

وَاذْكُرْنَ مَا يُتْلَى فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ لَطِيفًا خَبِيرًا

 

34-

And (you, wives of the prophet), remember any of the Verses of God and wisdom which are recited in your homes.
Truly God is Ever Observant in details and Well Aware.

إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالصَّادِقَاتِ وَالصَّابِرِينَ
وَالصَّابِرَاتِ وَالْخَاشِعِينَ وَالْخَاشِعَاتِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقَاتِ وَالصَّائِمِينَ وَالصَّائِمَاتِ
وَالْحَافِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَالْحَافِظَاتِ وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

 

-35

Certainly all the Muslims, men and women, (those who submit their will to God’s Will)
and the true believers, men and women,
and those men and women obedient (to God)
and the men and women who are truthful
and the men and women who are patient and persistent (in their duties),
the men and women who are humble and mindful of God
and the men and women who give charity
and those men and women who observe fasting (such as in the month of Ramadan)
and the men and women who guard their chastity (avoid illegal sex)
and the men and women who remember God frequently (in the heart and by their tongues),
God has prepared and provided a forgiveness and a grand reward for them (in Paradise).

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ
      لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًا

 

36-

There is no place for a believer, men or women, when God and His Messenger have ordered a matter,
that they would have any option in the decisions (to the contrary).
And whoever disobeys God and His Messenger, indeed has strayed into an evident error.

وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ
      مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَاهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِّنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
      حَرَجٌ فِي أَزْوَاجِ أَدْعِيَائِهِمْ إِذَا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًا وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا

 

37-

And remember when you (Muhammad) told the person (Zaid, the freed adopted slave of yours),
on whom God had granted Favor and you (Muhammad) had also done favor on him
(by recommending and helping him to marry your cousin Zainab), saying to him (the following advice):
“Keep nicely your wife to yourself and be mindful of God (so that you will be kind to her).”
And you (Muhammad) hid in yourself
(the thought that Zaid may divorce her and that you would have to marry her, to console her),
something which God was to make manifest and you feared (the coming gossip of) the people,
whereas God is more rightful that you should fear Him.
So when Zaid decided and accomplished the separation of divorce from her completely,
We gave her (Zainab) to you in marriage,
so that (in the future) there will not be any difficulty or hardship
for the believers in marrying later the divorced wives of their adopted sons,
when they had decided to divorce them for good.
And God’s Command must be done.

مَّا كَانَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيمَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قَدَرًا مَّقْدُورًا

 

38-

There should not be any hardship or blame on the prophet in that which God has made legal for him.
That has always been God’s way upon those who passed away before (of previous generations and prophets)
and God’s Command is a measure to be honored and reckoned with.

الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالَاتِ اللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا

 

39-

Those who convey the Messages of God and fear him with awe and have no fear of anyone except God
(they know that) God is Enough for Reckoning (Who gives everyone’s deeds, their due recognition).

مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَكِن رَّسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا

 

40-

Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of God
and the last and the seal of the prophets and God is Ever All Aware of all matters

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا

 

41-

O you who believe, remember God very frequently, a lot.

وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

 

42-

And glorify Him (especially in prayers) in the early morning and in the evening.

هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلَائِكَتُهُ لِيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَكَانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيمًا

 

43-

He is the One Who sends His Greetings and Blessings to you,
so do His angels (convey His Greetings and Blessings to you)
to bring you out of darkness (of ignorance) into the light (of knowledge and true understanding)
and He is Ever so Merciful to the believers.

تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلَامٌ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَرِيمًا

 

44-

Their greeting on the Day (of Resurrection) when they meet Him will be: “Peace = Salaam”
And He has prepared for them a generous reward.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا

 

45-

O prophet (Muhammad), We have in fact sent you as a witness (also as a role-model),
as a bringer of good news (to good people) and as a warner,

وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَسِرَاجًا مُّنِيرًا

 

46-

And as a person, who invites people to God, by His Permission and as a lamp, spreading His Light.
(through your teachings of God’s Messages of the Quran and by being a role-model in everyday life).

وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ فَضْلًا كَبِيرًا

 

47-

And do announce the good news to the believers that there will be a grand superiority in Blessings
from God to them (especially in the Hereafter).

وَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ وَدَعْ أَذَاهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا

 

48-

And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites,
disregard their bad behavior and their talking (against you) and keep on trusting God,
since God is Sufficient as a Trustee and Protector

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نَكَحْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ فَمَا لَكُمْ
      عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهَا فَمَتِّعُوهُنَّ وَسَرِّحُوهُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا

 

48-

O you who believe, when you marry believing women and later divorce them
before having any sexual contact with them,
then they have no obligation of a waiting period for you to consider upon them (before they can marry someone else).
Therefore give them a good present and set them free in a nice manner (do not stop them from remarriage).

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ أَزْوَاجَكَ اللَّاتِي آتَيْتَ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ مِمَّا أَفَاء اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ
      وَبَنَاتِ عَمِّكَ وَبَنَاتِ عَمَّاتِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَالِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَالَاتِكَ اللَّاتِي هَاجَرْنَ مَعَكَ وَامْرَأَةً مُّؤْمِنَةً
      إِن وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنْ أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ أَن يَسْتَنكِحَهَا خَالِصَةً لَّكَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا فَرَضْنَا
      عَلَيْهِمْ فِي أَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ لِكَيْلَا يَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ حَرَجٌ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

 

50-

O prophet (Muhammad), We have certainly made lawful and permissible to you,
your wives, to whom you already paid their bridal-money or bridal-present
(which is to be given by husbands to their wives)
and (made lawful to marry) those women whom you took control of them by your hand,
the custody of their care which God has given you
(as a consequence of wars when their husbands died or were killed),
also (lawful to marry) the daughters of your paternal uncles
and the daughters of your paternal aunts,
the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughter of your maternal aunts,
who emigrated with you (from Mecca to Medina)
and a believing woman, who would offer herself to the prophet, if the prophet would decide to marry her,
these are special rules for you only, not for the rest of the believers.
We know well of course what We have made lawful to them regarding their wives and the women,
whose custody their hands have taken on, so that there would be no hardship for you (in these special rules).
And God is Ever Very Forgiving, Most Merciful.

تُرْجِي مَن تَشَاء مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَن تَشَاء وَمَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى
      أَن تَقَرَّ أَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَلَا يَحْزَنَّ وَيَرْضَيْنَ بِمَا آتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَلِيمًا

 

51-

You (Muhammad) can postpone or defer visiting anyone of them (your wives)
or you can receive them as you will (to suit your time and situation)
and when you seek for any of those whom you have kept aside (for a time), it is no sin (to receive her again).
This will make it more likely that they become happy,
their eyes light up with happiness and that they are not sad (feeling that they are overlooked)
and that they become pleased with whatever you can do for any or all of them
(such as giving them part of your time, efforts and presents).
And God alone knows what is in your hearts and God is the All Knowing, Most Forgiving.

لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاء مِن بَعْدُ وَلَا أَن تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَّقِيبًا

 

52-

It is not lawful for you to marry other women after this, nor to replace them for other wives,
even though their beauty would be pleasing to you,
except whom you would have to take custody of with your hand
(as a result of any war, when the husband has perished) and God is Ever Watchful over all things.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا فَإِذَا
      طَعِمْتُمْ فَانتَشِرُوا وَلَا مُسْتَأْنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ فَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنكُمْ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي
      مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَاء حِجَابٍ ذَلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
      وَلَا أَن تَنكِحُوا أَزْوَاجَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ أَبَدًا إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ عِندَ اللَّهِ عَظِيمًا

 

53-

O you who believe, do not enter the prophet’s dwellings unless you are given permission (by invitation) for a meal,
(and then) not (so early as) to wait for it to be prepared and served, without looking at it to be served;
but when you are invited, enter (on time),
and when you have taken your meal, then disperse without sitting and lingering for a talk.
That has been bothering the Prophet but yet he has been shy of (asking) you (to leave),
but God is not shy of telling you the truth.
Also, when you ask (the ladies in his house) for anything (such as water), then you should ask them from behind a screen;
that is better for the purity of your hearts and their hearts.
And you are not supposed to annoy the Messenger of God,
nor ever to marry his wives after him;
as that would certainly be a gravely enormous matter in the Sight of God.

إِن تُبْدُوا شَيْئًا أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا

 

54-

Weather you reveal anything or keep it as a secret, of course God has knowledge of everything.

لَّا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِي آبَائِهِنَّ وَلَا أَبْنَائِهِنَّ وَلَا إِخْوَانِهِنَّ وَلَا أَبْنَاء إِخْوَانِهِنَّ وَلَا أَبْنَاء أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ
      وَلَا نِسَائِهِنَّ وَلَا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ وَاتَّقِينَ اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدًا

 

55-

It is (however) no sin for them (the ladies to appear) before their fathers
or their sons or their brothers or their brother’s sons or the sons of their sisters
or their womenfolk or the persons whom their hands have taken custody of their care.
Anyway you women, be ever mindful of God, certainly God is Ever Witness over everything.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

 

56-

Truly God and His angels bless the Prophet;
so o you who have believed, bless him (Muhammad)
and whole heartedly salute him and totally submit to his guidance
(which comes from God, do not argue with his guidance).

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا

 

57-

As in fact, those who affront or offend God and His messenger,
God rejects and curses them (deprives them of His Blessings)
in this world and in the Hereafter life to come and He has prepared a humiliating suffering for them.

وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًا

 

58-

Also those who offend and annoy believing men and women, without their having done any wrong,
they surely burden themselves and bear the responsibility of slander and an evident sin.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاء الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ
      مِن جَلَابِيبِهِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

 

59-

O prophet, tell your wives, daughters as well as believing women,
that they should draw over themselves some of their outer garments (scarves when in public);
that will be better, for them to be recognized (as respectable ladies), so as not to be annoyed or disrespected.
And God is Much Forgiving Most Merciful.

لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَالْمُرْجِفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لَنُغْرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ لَا يُجَاوِرُونَكَ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

 

60-

If the hypocrites or those in whose hearts is a disease (for evil behavior and uncertainty)
and those who by spreading false rumors, cause disturbances in the town (of the prophet) Medina,
if do not stop (their mischief), We shall indeed make you force them out of town,
so that they could not stay in, more than a little while as your neighbors.

مَلْعُونِينَ أَيْنَمَا ثُقِفُوا أُخِذُوا وَقُتِّلُوا تَقْتِيلًا

 

61-

As cursed off and disgraced, they shall be seized wherever they are found and slain one and all.

سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلُ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا

 

62-

Such has been God’s way with those who (sinned in like manner and) passed away before your times
and you won’t find any change in God’s Way.

يَسْأَلُكَ النَّاسُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ تَكُونُ قَرِيبًا

 

63-

People ask you about the exact time and hour (of Resurrection), say:
“The knowledge of it, rests with God alone and what would ever make you know?
The time of that Hour may well be near”.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَنَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ سَعِيرًا

 

64-

Truly God has cursed, rejected (discarded) the deniers of the truth and has readied for them a blazing fire (of Hell).

خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا لَّا يَجِدُونَ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا

 

65-

They will remain there forever, finding no protector or helper.

يَوْمَ تُقَلَّبُ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِي النَّارِ يَقُولُونَ يَا لَيْتَنَا أَطَعْنَا اللَّهَ وَأَطَعْنَا الرَّسُولَا

 

66-

On the Day when their faces shall be turned over in the fire, they shall say:
“What a pity on us, if we had just obeyed God and the Messenger (Muhammad)".

وَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّا أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَاءنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا السَّبِيلَا

 

67-

And they shall say:
“O our Lord, we indeed obeyed our leaders and our great men, but they led us far away from the right way”.

رَبَّنَا آتِهِمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَالْعَنْهُمْ لَعْنًا كَبِيرًا

 

68-

"Our Lord, give them double dose of suffering and banish and curse and discard them gravely away from Your Grace.”

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا وَكَانَ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَجِيهًا

 

69-

O you who believe, do not be like those who abused, offended and annoyed Moses,
but then God cleared him (Moses) from all that which they said (against him or demanded of him)
and he was an honorable man in Sight of God.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا

 

70-

O you who believe, remain conscious and mindful of God and (always) speak just and truthful words,

يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَن يُطِعْ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا

 

71-

(That way), He will cause your deeds to be correct also and will forgive your past sins.
And (of course) whoever obeys God and His messenger, he has indeed achieved a great achievement
(since he is in the right direction to Happiness and Bliss)

إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَن يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولًا

 

72-

We indeed did offer the trust of custody
to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to bear that responsibility
as they were afraid that they could not afford it, but mankind accepted to bear it.
He indeed has shown to be very wicked and very ignorant.                         1

لِيُعَذِّبَ اللَّهُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكَاتِ وَيَتُوبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

 

73-

(On that basis it is) That God imposes suffering on the hypocrites men or women
and those men and women who associate other beings as partners (to God, in the prayers or beliefs),
and (so is that because of their good attitude and behavior),
God turns His Grace on the believing men and women, as God is Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people).
