Sourate Al-Ahzab (33) original (rasm)

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. O Prophet, guard yourself before God,i 1

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يايها النبي اتق الله

and do not obey those who deny nor the hypocrites. 1

ولا تطع الكفرين والمنفقين

God is certainly All-Knowing, Wise. 1

ان الله كان عليما حكيما

And follow what is revealed to you from your Guardian. 2

واتبع ما يوحي اليك من ربك

God is certainly aware of what you do.i 2

ان الله كان بما تعملون خبيرا

And rely upon God: 3

وتوكل علي الله

God suffices as an agent. 3

وكفي بالله وكيلا

God has not assigned to any man two cores within his chest.i 4

ما جعل الله لرجل من قلبين في جوفه

Nor has He made your wives — those from whom you distance yourselves [through zihar] — your mothers, 4

وما جعل ازوجكم الي تظهرون منهن امهتكم

nor has He made your adopted sons your [true] sons. 4

وما جعل ادعياكم ابناكم

That is only your saying, [uttered] by your mouths; 4

ذلكم قولكم بافوهكم

and God speaks the truth, and it is He who guides to the way. 4

والله يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل

Call them by their fathers' names: that is more equitable with God. 5

ادعوهم لابايهم هو اقسط عند الله

And if you do not know their fathers, then they are your brothers in the Law, and your allies. 5

فان لم تعلموا اباهم فاخونكم في الدين وموليكم

And there is no fault upon you in what you may have gotten wrong, 5

وليس عليكم جناح فيما اخطاتم به

but rather in what your cores have premeditated. 5

ولكن ما تعمدت قلوبكم

And God is a Great Forgiver, Benevolent. 5

وكان الله غفورا رحيما

The Prophet has, over the believers, more right than they have over themselves, 6

النبي اولي بالمومنين من انفسهم

and his wives are their mothers. 6

وازوجه امهتهم

And those bound by kinship have, toward one another, more right under God's Code than the [unrelated] believers and the emigrants — except that you do a kindness toward your allies.i 6

واولوا الارحام بعضهم اولي ببعض في كتب الله من المومنين والمهجرين الا ان تفعلوا الي اوليايكم معروفا

That was recorded in the Scripture.i 6

كان ذلك في الكتب مسطورا

And [recall] when We took from the prophets their pledge, and from you, and from Nuh, Ibrahim, Moussa, and Issa, son of Maryam —i 7

واذ اخذنا من النبين ميثقهم ومنك ومن نوح وابرهيم وموسي وعيسي ابن مريم

and We took from them a solemn pledge, so that He might question the truthful about their truthfulness; 8

واخذنا منهم ميثقا غليظا ليسل الصدقين عن صدقهم

and He has prepared for those who deny a painful punishment. 8

واعد للكفرين عذابا اليما

O you who believe, remember God's favor upon you, when armies came against you, and We sent against them a wind and armies you did not see. 9

يايها الذين امنوا اذكروا نعمه الله عليكم اذ جاتكم جنود فارسلنا عليهم ريحا وجنودا لم تروها

And God sees all that you do.i 9

وكان الله بما تعملون بصيرا

remember when they came upon you from above you and from below you, 10

اذ جاوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم

and when eyes turned aside, and cores reached the throats, and you entertained about God all manner of assumptions. 10

واذ زاغت الابصر وبلغت القلوب الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا

There the believers were tested, and shaken with a violent shaking. 11

هنالك ابتلي المومنون وزلزلوا زلزالا شديدا

And when the hypocrites, and those in whose cores is a sickness, said, "God and His messenger promised us nothing but delusion," 12

واذ يقول المنفقون والذين في قلوبهم مرض ما وعدنا الله ورسوله الا غرورا

and when a party among them said, "O people of Yathrib, there is no place for you [here]; go back," 13

واذ قالت طايفه منهم ياهل يثرب لا مقام لكم فارجعوا

and a party among them was asking the Prophet's leave, saying, "Our houses lack privacy" — when they did not:i 13

ويستذن فريق منهم النبي يقولون ان بيوتنا عوره وما هي بعوره

they wanted nothing but to flee. 13

ان يريدون الا فرارا

And if [the city] had been entered from all its sides, and they had then been asked to betray, they would have done it, and would have hesitated but a little. 14

ولو دخلت عليهم من اقطارها ثم سيلوا الفتنه لاتوها وما تلبثوا بها الا يسيرا

And they had certainly made a pact with God before, not to turn their backs [in battle]; 15

ولقد كانوا عهدوا الله من قبل لا يولون الادبر

and for God's pact one will be held to account. 15

وكان عهد الله مسولا

Say, "Flight will not benefit you if you flee from death or killing, 16

قل لن ينفعكم الفرار ان فررتم من الموت او القتل

and then you would only enjoy [life] a little." 16

واذا لا تمتعون الا قليلا

Say, "Who is it that could shield you from God, should He intend for you harm, or intend for you benevolence?" 17

قل من ذا الذي يعصمكم من الله ان اراد بكم سوا او اراد بكم رحمه

And they will find, besides God, neither ally nor helper. 17

ولا يجدون لهم من دون الله وليا ولا نصيرا

God certainly knows those among you who obstruct, and those who say to their brothers, "Come to us," and who come to the fight only a little, being stingy toward you. 19

قد يعلم الله المعوقين منكم والقايلين لاخونهم هلم الينا ولا ياتون الباس الا قليلا اشحه عليكم

Then, when fear comes, you see them looking at you, their eyes rolling like one overcome by fainting from death. 19

فاذا جا الخوف رايتهم ينظرون اليك تدور اعينهم كالذي يغشي عليه من الموت

Then, when the fear departs, they assail you with sharp tongues, stingy over any good. 19

فاذا ذهب الخوف سلقوكم بالسنه حداد اشحه علي الخير

Those have not believed, so God has voided their deeds, 19

اوليك لم يومنوا فاحبط الله اعملهم

and that is, for God, an easy thing. 19

وكان ذلك علي الله يسيرا

They think the confederates have not gone; 20

يحسبون الاحزاب لم يذهبوا

and were the confederates to come [again], they would wish they had withdrawn among the notables,i 20

وان يات الاحزاب يودوا لو انهم بادون في الاعراب

asking about your news; and were they among you, they would have fought only a little. 20

يسلون عن انبايكم ولو كانوا فيكم ما قتلوا الا قليلا

You have certainly had, in the messenger of God, a beautiful example for whoever hopes for [the meeting with] God and the Last Day, and remembers God much. 21

لقد كان لكم في رسول الله اسوه حسنه لمن كان يرجوا الله واليوم الاخر وذكر الله كثيرا

And when the believers saw the confederates, they said, "This is what God and His messenger promised us, and God and His messenger spoke truly," 22

ولما را المومنون الاحزاب قالوا هذا ما وعدنا الله ورسوله وصدق الله ورسوله

and it only increased them in faith and [trusting] submission. 22

وما زادهم الا ايمنا وتسليما

Among the believers are men who have been true to what they pledged to God: 23

من المومنين رجال صدقوا ما عهدوا الله عليه

some of them have fulfilled their vow [unto death], and some of them are waiting, 23

فمنهم من قضي نحبه ومنهم من ينتظر

and they have not changed in the least — so that God may reward the truthful for their truthfulness, and punish the hypocrites, if He wills, or turn to them [in forgiveness]. 24

وما بدلوا تبديلا ليجزي الله الصدقين بصدقهم ويعذب المنفقين ان شا او يتوب عليهم

God is certainly a Great Forgiver, Benevolent. 24

ان الله كان غفورا رحيما

And God turned back those who denied, in their rage, without their obtaining any good; 25

ورد الله الذين كفروا بغيظهم لم ينالوا خيرا

and God spared the believers the fight. 25

وكفي الله المومنين القتال

And God is Strong, All-Powerful. 25

وكان الله قويا عزيزا

And He brought down from their strongholds those, among the People of the Scripture, who had supported them, and cast terror into their cores:i 26

وانزل الذين ظهروهم من اهل الكتب من صياصيهم وقذف في قلوبهم الرعب

one party you were killing, and another party you were taking captive; 26

فريقا تقتلون وتاسرون فريقا

and He made you inherit their land, their homes, and their wealth, and a land you had not trodden. 27

واورثكم ارضهم وديرهم وامولهم وارضا لم تطوها

And God has full power over all things. 27

وكان الله علي كل شي قديرا

O Prophet, say to your wives, "If you desire the present life and its adornment, come, I will grant you provision and release you with a fitting release; 28

يايها النبي قل لازوجك ان كنتن تردن الحيوه الدنيا وزينتها فتعالين امتعكن واسرحكن سراحا جميلا

but if you desire God, His messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter, then God has prepared, for those among you who do good, a great reward." 29

وان كنتن تردن الله ورسوله والدار الاخره فان الله اعد للمحسنت منكن اجرا عظيما

O wives of the Prophet, whoever among you commits a manifest indecency, the punishment would be doubled for her, twice over;i 30

ينسا النبي من يات منكن بفحشه مبينه يضعف لها العذاب ضعفين

and that is, for God, an easy thing. 30

وكان ذلك علي الله يسيرا

And whoever among you devoutly submits to God and His messenger and does righteousness, We will give her reward twice, and We have prepared for her a generous provision. 31

ومن يقنت منكن لله ورسوله وتعمل صلحا نوتها اجرها مرتين واعتدنا لها رزقا كريما

O wives of the Prophet, you are not like any other of women, if you guard yourselves [before Him].i 32

ينسا النبي لستن كاحد من النسا ان اتقيتن

So do not be complaisant in speech, lest he in whose core is a sickness should covet; and speak a recognized word, and remain in your homes,i 33

فلا تخضعن بالقول فيطمع الذي في قلبه مرض وقلن قولا معروفا وقرن في بيوتكن

and do not flaunt yourselves as was flaunted in the former ignorance.i 33

ولا تبرجن تبرج الجهليه الاولي

Maintain the Contact, and give the purifying alms, 33

واقمن الصلوه واتين الزكوه

and obey God and His messenger. 33

واطعن الله ورسوله

God only intends to remove from you impurity, People of the House, and to purify you completely. 33

انما يريد الله ليذهب عنكم الرجس اهل البيت ويطهركم تطهيرا

And remember what is recited in your homes of God's signs and wisdom. 34

واذكرن ما يتلي في بيوتكن من ايت الله والحكمه

God is certainly Subtle, Aware. 34

ان الله كان لطيفا خبيرا

Integral men toward God and integral women toward God, believing men and believing women, devout men and devout women, truthful men and truthful women, enduring men and enduring women, humble men and humble women, men who give alms and women who give alms, men and women who abstain from vain speech, men who guard their private parts and women who guard them, men who remember God much and women who remember Him — God has prepared for them forgiveness and an immense reward.i 35

ان المسلمين والمسلمت والمومنين والمومنت والقنتين والقنتت والصدقين والصدقت والصبرين والصبرت والخشعين والخشعت والمتصدقين والمتصدقت والصيمين والصيمت والحفظين فروجهم والحفظت والذكرين الله كثيرا والذكرت اعد الله لهم مغفره واجرا عظيما

And it is not for any believing man or believing woman, when God and His messenger have decided a matter, to have the choice in their own affair.i 36

وما كان لمومن ولا مومنه اذا قضي الله ورسوله امرا ان يكون لهم الخيره من امرهم

And whoever disobeys God and His messenger has strayed into manifest error. 36

ومن يعص الله ورسوله فقد ضل ضللا مبينا

And [recall] when you said to the one God had favored and you had favored, "Keep your wife and guard yourself before God," while concealing within yourself what God was going to make known, and fearing the people, when God is more deserving that you fear Him.i 37

واذ تقول للذي انعم الله عليه وانعمت عليه امسك عليك زوجك واتق الله وتخفي في نفسك ما الله مبديه وتخشي الناس والله احق ان تخشيه

Then when Zayd had ended all engagement toward her, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there would be no discomfort for the believers concerning the wives of their adopted sons, once they have ended all engagement toward them.i 37

فلما قضي زيد منها وطرا زوجنكها لكي لا يكون علي المومنين حرج في ازوج ادعيايهم اذا قضوا منهن وطرا

And God's command is [always] carried out. 37

وكان امر الله مفعولا

There is no discomfort for the Prophet in what God has ordained for him — 38

ما كان علي النبي من حرج فيما فرض الله له

such was God's norm with those who passed before. 38

سنه الله في الذين خلوا من قبل

And God's command is a decree determined. 38

وكان امر الله قدرا مقدورا

Those who deliver God's messages, and fear Him, and fear no one but God — 39

الذين يبلغون رسلت الله ويخشونه ولا يخشون احدا الا الله

and God suffices as a reckoner. 39

وكفي بالله حسيبا

Muhammad is not the father of any of your men,i 40

ما كان محمد ابا احد من رجالكم

but rather the messenger of God and the seal of the prophets. 40

ولكن رسول الله وخاتم النبين

And God is All-Knowing of all things. 40

وكان الله بكل شي عليما

O you who believe, remember God much, and glorify Him morning and evening. 42

يايها الذين امنوا اذكروا الله ذكرا كثيرا وسبحوه بكره واصيلا

It is He who makes contact with you, He and His Agents, so as to bring you out of the darknesses into the light;i 43

هو الذي يصلي عليكم ومليكته ليخرجكم من الظلمت الي النور

and He is, toward the believers, Benevolent. 43

وكان بالمومنين رحيما

Their greeting, the day they meet Him, will be, "Peace." 44

تحيتهم يوم يلقونه سلم

And He has prepared for them a generous reward. 44

واعد لهم اجرا كريما

O Prophet, We have sent you as a witness, a bearer of good news, and a warner, as one calling to God by His permission, and as an illuminating lamp. 46

يايها النبي انا ارسلنك شهدا ومبشرا ونذيرا وداعيا الي الله باذنه وسراجا منيرا

And give the believers the good news that they will have, from God, great favor. 47

وبشر المومنين بان لهم من الله فضلا كبيرا

And do not obey those who deny nor the hypocrites, 48

ولا تطع الكفرين والمنفقين

and disregard their harm, 48

ودع اذيهم

and rely upon God: 48

وتوكل علي الله

God suffices as an agent. 48

وكفي بالله وكيلا

O you who believe, when you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them, you have no waiting period against them for you to count. 49

يايها الذين امنوا اذا نكحتم المومنت ثم طلقتموهن من قبل ان تمسوهن فما لكم عليهن من عده تعتدونها

So grant them provision, and release them with a fitting release. 49

فمتعوهن وسرحوهن سراحا جميلا

O Prophet, We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their bridal gifts, she who is bound to you by pledge among what God has granted you, and the daughters of your paternal uncle, the daughters of your paternal aunts, the daughters of your maternal uncle, and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you, and any believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet — provided the Prophet wishes to marry her:i 50

يايها النبي انا احللنا لك ازوجك التي اتيت اجورهن وما ملكت يمينك مما افا الله عليك وبنات عمك وبنات عمتك وبنات خالك وبنات خلتك التي هاجرن معك وامراه مومنه ان وهبت نفسها للنبي ان اراد النبي ان يستنكحها

exclusively for you, and not for the [other] believers. 50

خالصه لك من دون المومنين

We certainly know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those bound to them by pledge, so that there may be no discomfort for you;i 50

قد علمنا ما فرضنا عليهم في ازوجهم وما ملكت ايمنهم لكيلا يكون عليك حرج

and God is a Great Forgiver, Benevolent. 50

وكان الله غفورا رحيما

You may defer whom you will of them, and take to yourself whom you will; 51

ترجي من تشا منهن وتوي اليك من تشا

and whomever you desire of those you had set aside, no blame attaches to you. 51

ومن ابتغيت ممن عزلت فلا جناح عليك

That is more fitting so that their gaze may settle, and they not grieve, and they be content, all of them, with what you give them.i 51

ذلك ادني ان تقر اعينهن ولا يحزن ويرضين بما اتيتهن كلهن

And God knows what is in your cores; 51

والله يعلم ما في قلوبكم

and God is All-Knowing, Thoughtful. 51

وكان الله عليما حليما

It is not lawful for you [to marry other] women after this, nor to exchange them for other wives, even were their beauty to please you — except she who is bound to you by pledge.i 52

لا يحل لك النسا من بعد ولا ان تبدل بهن من ازوج ولو اعجبك حسنهن الا ما ملكت يمينك

And God watches over all things. 52

وكان الله علي كل شي رقيبا

O you who believe, do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given you for a meal, without awaiting its readiness; 53

يايها الذين امنوا لا تدخلوا بيوت النبي الا ان يوذن لكم الي طعام غير نظرين انيه

but when you are invited, enter; and when you have eaten, disperse, without lingering for conversation. 53

ولكن اذا دعيتم فادخلوا فاذا طعمتم فانتشروا ولا مستنسين لحديث

That used to trouble the Prophet, though he felt shy toward you, 53

ان ذلكم كان يوذي النبي فيستحي منكم

whereas God is not shy of the truth. 53

والله لا يستحي من الحق

And when you ask them for an item, ask them from behind a screen: 53

واذا سالتموهن متعا فسلوهن من ورا حجاب

that is purer for your cores and their cores. 53

ذلكم اطهر لقلوبكم وقلوبهن

And it is not for you to trouble the messenger of God, nor to marry his wives after him, ever; 53

وما كان لكم ان توذوا رسول الله ولا ان تنكحوا ازوجه من بعده ابدا

that is, with God, momentous. 53

ان ذلكم كان عند الله عظيما

Whether you disclose a thing or conceal it, God is All-Knowing of all things. 54

ان تبدوا شيا او تخفوه فان الله كان بكل شي عليما

There is no blame upon them concerning their fathers, nor their sons, nor their brothers, nor their brothers' sons, nor their sisters' sons, nor the women of their own circle, nor those bound to them by pledge.i 55

لا جناح عليهن في ابايهن ولا ابنايهن ولا اخونهن ولا ابنا اخونهن ولا ابنا اخوتهن ولا نسايهن ولا ما ملكت ايمنهن

And guard yourselves before God:i 55

واتقين الله

God is, over all things, a witness. 55

ان الله كان علي كل شي شهيدا

God and His Agents are in constant contact with the Prophet.i 56

ان الله ومليكته يصلون علي النبي

O you who believe, connect with him, and greet him with a [peaceful] salutation. 56

يايها الذين امنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليما

Those who trouble God and His messenger — God has cursed them in the present life and the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating punishment. 57

ان الذين يوذون الله ورسوله لعنهم الله في الدنيا والاخره واعد لهم عذابا مهينا

And those who trouble believing men and believing women for anything other than what they have earned bear the weight of slander and manifest transgression. 58

والذين يوذون المومنين والمومنت بغير ما اكتسبوا فقد احتملوا بهتنا واثما مبينا

O Prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the women of the believers to draw over themselves part of their outer garments: 59

يايها النبي قل لازوجك وبناتك ونسا المومنين يدنين عليهن من جلبيبهن

that is more fitting so that they will be recognized and not be harmed. 59

ذلك ادني ان يعرفن فلا يوذين

And God is a Great Forgiver, Benevolent. 59

وكان الله غفورا رحيما

If the hypocrites, those in whose cores is a sickness, and the rumor-mongers in the Capital do not cease, We will certainly incite you against them; then they will not remain your neighbors there except a little, being cursed. 61

لين لم ينته المنفقون والذين في قلوبهم مرض والمرجفون في المدينه لنغرينك بهم ثم لا يجاورونك فيها الا قليلا ملعونين

Wherever they are found, they will be seized and killed outright. 61

اينما ثقفوا اخذوا وقتلوا تقتيلا

[Such was] God's norm with those who passed before, 62

سنه الله في الذين خلوا من قبل

and you will never find in God's norm any change. 62

ولن تجد لسنه الله تبديلا

The people ask you about the Hour. 63

يسلك الناس عن الساعه

Say, "Its knowledge is only with God, 63

قل انما علمها عند الله

and what would make you know? 63

وما يدريك

Perhaps the Hour is near." 63

لعل الساعه تكون قريبا

God has certainly cursed those who deny, and has prepared for them a Blaze in which they will abide forever, finding neither ally nor helper — 65

ان الله لعن الكفرين واعد لهم سعيرا خلدين فيها ابدا لا يجدون وليا ولا نصيرا

the day their direction is overturned in the Fire, they will say, "Would that we had obeyed God and obeyed the Messenger!"i 66

يوم تقلب وجوههم في النار يقولون يليتنا اطعنا الله واطعنا الرسولا

And they will say, "Our Guardian, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they led us astray from the way. 67

وقالوا ربنا انا اطعنا سادتنا وكبرانا فاضلونا السبيلا

Our Guardian, give them double punishment, and curse them with a many-fold curse."i 68

ربنا اتهم ضعفين من العذاب والعنهم لعنا كبيرا

O you who believe, do not be like those who troubled Moussa; God cleared him of what they said,i 69

يايها الذين امنوا لا تكونوا كالذين اذوا موسي فبراه الله مما قالوا

and he was, with God, honorable. 69

وكان عند الله وجيها

O you who believe, guard yourselves before God and speak a straight word: He will set right your deeds for you and forgive you your wrongs.i 71

يايها الذين امنوا اتقوا الله وقولوا قولا سديدا يصلح لكم اعملكم ويغفر لكم ذنوبكم

And whoever obeys God and His messenger has attained a great triumph. 71

ومن يطع الله ورسوله فقد فاز فوزا عظيما

We offered the trust to the heavens, the earth, and the mountains; they refused to bear it and were afraid of it, 72

انا عرضنا الامانه علي السموت والارض والجبال فابين ان يحملنها واشفقن منها

and man bore it: he was certainly deeply unjust, deeply ignorant — so that God may punish the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, the idolatrous men and the idolatrous women, and turn in forgiveness to the believing men and the believing women. 73

وحملها الانسن انه كان ظلوما جهولا ليعذب الله المنفقين والمنفقت والمشركين والمشركت ويتوب الله علي المومنين والمومنت

And God is a Great Forgiver, Benevolent. 73

وكان الله غفورا رحيما
