Quran with English TranslationSurah Al AhzabTranslator Abdullah Yusuf Ali |
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1 |
O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites:
|
2 |
But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord:
|
3 |
And put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah, as a Disposer of affairs. |
4 |
Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body:
|
5 |
Call them by (the names) of their fathers: that is juster in the sight of Allah, but if ye know not their father's (names, call them) your Brothers in faith, or your Maulas.
|
6 |
The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers.
|
7 |
And remember We took from the Prophets their Covenant as (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary:
|
8 |
That (Allah) may question the (Custodians) of Truth concerning the Truth they (were charged with):
|
9 |
O ye who believe! |
10 |
Behold! they came on you from above you and from below you, and behold, the eyes became dim and the hearts gaped up to the throats, and ye imagined various (vain) thoughts about Allah! |
11 |
In that situation were the Believers tried: they were shaken as by a tremendous shaking. |
12 |
And behold! the Hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease (even) say: "Allah and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion!" |
13 |
Behold! a party among them said: "Ye men of Yathrib! Ye cannot stand (the attack)! Therefore go back!"
|
14 |
And if an entry had been effected to them from the sides of the (City), and they had been incited to sedition they would certainly have brought it to pass, with none but a brief delay! |
15 |
And yet they had already covenanted with Allah not to turn their backs, and a covenant with Allah must (surely) be answered for. |
16 |
Say: |
17 |
Say: "Who is it that can screen you from Allah if it be His wish to give you Punishment or to give you Mercy?"
|
18 |
Verily Allah knows those among you who keep back (men) and those who say to their brethren, "Come along to us," but come not to the fight except for just a little while. |
19 |
Covetous over you. |
20 |
They think that the Confederates have not withdrawn;
|
21 |
Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern of (conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the praise of Allah. |
22 |
When the Believers saw the Confederate forces, they said: "This is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us, and Allah and his Messenger told us what was true."
|
23 |
Among the Believers are men who have been true to their Covenant with Allah:
|
24 |
That Allah may reward the men of Truth for their Truth and punish the Hypocrites if that be His Will, or turn to them in Mercy:
|
25 |
And Allah turned back the Unbelievers for (all) their fury: no advantage did they gain, and enough is Allah for the Believers in their fight.
|
26 |
And those of the People of the Book who aided them -- Allah did take them down from their strongholds and cast terror into their hearts,
|
27 |
And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before).
|
28 |
O Prophet! say to thy Consorts: |
29 |
But if ye seek Allah and His Messenger, and the Home of the Hereafter, verily Allah has prepared for the well-doers amongst you a great reward. |
30 |
O Consorts of the Prophet! |
31 |
But any of you that is devout in the service of Allah and His Messenger, and works righteousness -- to her shall We grant her reward twice: and We have prepared for her a generous Sustenance. |
32 |
O Consorts of the Prophet! |
33 |
- And stay quietly in your houses, |
34 |
And recite what is rehearsed to you in your homes, of the Signs of Allah and His wisdom: for Allah understands the finest mysteries and is well-acquainted (with them). |
35 |
- For Muslim men and women -- |
36 |
It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision:
|
37 |
Behold! thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favor: "Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah."
|
38 |
There can be no difficulty to the Prophet in what Allah has indicated to him as a duty.
|
39 |
(It is the practice of those) who preach the Messages of Allah, and fear Him, and fear none but Allah:
|
40 |
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets:
|
41 |
O ye who believe! celebrate the praises of Allah and do this often; |
42 |
And glorify Him morning and evening. |
43 |
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light:
|
44 |
Their salutation on the Day they meet Him will be "peace!": and He has prepared for them a generous Reward. |
45 |
O Prophet! Truly We have sent thee as a Witness, a Bearer of Glad Tidings, and a Warner -- |
46 |
And as one who invites to Allah's (Grace) by His leave, and as a Lamp spreading Light. |
47 |
Then give the glad tidings to the Believers, that they shall have from Allah a very great Bounty. |
48 |
And obey not (the behests) of the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and heed not their annoyances, but put thy trust in Allah, for enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. |
49 |
O ye who believe! |
50 |
O prophet! We have made lawful to thee |
51 |
Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest, and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest:
|
52 |
It is not lawful for thee (to marry more) women after this, nor to change them for (other) wives, even thought their beauty attract thee, except any thy right hand should possess (as handmaidens):
|
53 |
O ye who Believe! |
54 |
Whether ye reveal anything or conceal it, verily Allah has full knowledge of all things. |
55 |
There is no blame (on these ladies if they appear) before
|
56 |
Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect. |
57 |
Those who annoy Allah and His Messenger -- Allah has cursed them in this world and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating Punishment. |
58 |
And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin. |
59 |
O prophet! |
60 |
Truly, if the Hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and those who stir up sedition in the City, desist not, We shall certainly stir thee up against them: then will they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbors for any length of time: |
61 |
They shall have a curse on them: wherever they are found, they shall be seized and slain (without mercy). |
62 |
(Such was) the practice (approved) of Allah among those who lived aforetime: no change wilt thou find in the practice (approved) of Allah. |
63 |
Men ask thee concerning the Hour: |
64 |
Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire -- |
65 |
To dwell therein forever: no protector will they find, nor helper. |
66 |
The Day that their faces will be turned upside down in the Fire, they will say: "Woe to us! would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!" |
67 |
And they would say: |
68 |
"Our Lord! give them Double Penalty and curse them with a very great Curse!" |
69 |
O ye who believe! |
70 |
O ye who believe! |
71 |
That He may make your conduct whole and sound and forgive you your sins:
|
72 |
We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains: but they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof:
|
73 |
(With the result) that Allah has to punish the Hypocrites, men and women, and the Unbelievers, men and women,
