Surah Al Ahzab

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُطِعِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًاۙ

Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyuttaqillāha wa lā tuṭi‘il-kāfirīna wal-munāfiqīn(a), innallāha kāna ‘alīman ḥakīmā(n).

O Prophet! ˹Always˺ be mindful of Allah, and do not yield to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
وَّاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوْحٰىٓ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرًاۙ

Wattabi‘ mā yūḥā ilaika mir rabbik(a), innallāha kāna bimā ta‘malūna khabīrā(n).

Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what you ˹all˺ do.
وَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗوَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِيْلًا

Wa tawakkal ‘alallāh(i), wa kafā billāhi wakīlā(n).

And put your trust in Allah, for Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.
مَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِّنْ قَلْبَيْنِ فِيْ جَوْفِهٖ ۚوَمَا جَعَلَ اَزْوَاجَكُمُ الّٰـِٕۤيْ تُظٰهِرُوْنَ مِنْهُنَّ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ ۚوَمَا جَعَلَ اَدْعِيَاۤءَكُمْ اَبْنَاۤءَكُمْۗ ذٰلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِكُمْ ۗوَاللّٰهُ يَقُوْلُ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِى السَّبِيْلَ

Mā ja‘alallāhu lirajulim min qalbaini fī jaufih(ī), wa mā ja‘ala azwājakumul-lā'ī tuẓāhirūna minhunna ummahātikum, wa mā ja‘ala ad‘iyā'akum abnā'akum, żālikum qaulukum bi'afwāhikum, wallāhu yaqūlul-ḥaqqa wa huwa yahdis-sabīl(a).

Allah does not place two hearts in any person’s chest. Nor does He regard your wives as ˹unlawful for you like˺ your real mothers, ˹even˺ if you say they are. Nor does He regard your adopted children as your real children. These are only your baseless assertions. But Allah declares the truth, and He ˹alone˺ guides to the ˹Right˺ Way.
اُدْعُوْهُمْ لِاٰبَاۤىِٕهِمْ هُوَ اَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۚ فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوْٓا اٰبَاۤءَهُمْ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْ فِى الدِّيْنِ وَمَوَالِيْكُمْ ۗوَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيْمَآ اَخْطَأْتُمْ بِهٖ وَلٰكِنْ مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوْبُكُمْ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا

Ud‘ūhum li'ābā'ihim huwa aqsaṭu ‘indallāh(i), fa illam ta‘lamū ābā'ahum fa ikhwānukum fid-dīni wa mawālīkum, wa laisa ‘alaikum junāḥun fīmā akhṭa'tum bihī wa lākim mā ta‘ammadat qulūbukum, wa kānallāhu gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

Let your adopted children keep their family names. That is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers, then they are ˹simply˺ your fellow believers and close associates. There is no blame on you for what you do by mistake, but ˹only˺ for what you do intentionally. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
اَلنَّبِيُّ اَوْلٰى بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ مِنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَاَزْوَاجُهٗٓ اُمَّهٰتُهُمْ ۗوَاُولُوا الْاَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلٰى بِبَعْضٍ فِيْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُهٰجِرِيْنَ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَفْعَلُوْٓا اِلٰٓى اَوْلِيَاۤىِٕكُمْ مَّعْرُوْفًا ۗ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى الْكِتٰبِ مَسْطُوْرًا

An-nabiyyu aulā bil-mu'minīna min anfusihim wa azwājuhū ummahātuhum, wa ulul-arḥāmi ba‘ḍuhum aulā biba‘ḍin fī kitābillāhi minal-mu'minīna wal-muhājirīna illā an taf‘alū ilā auliyā'ikum ma‘rūfā(n), kāna żālika fil-kitābi masṭūrā(n).

The Prophet has a stronger affinity to the believers than they do themselves. And his wives are their mothers. As ordained by Allah, blood relatives are more entitled ˹to inheritance˺ than ˹other˺ believers and immigrants, unless you ˹want to˺ show kindness to your ˹close˺ associates ˹through bequest˺. This is decreed in the Record.
وَاِذْ اَخَذْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ مِيْثَاقَهُمْ وَمِنْكَ وَمِنْ نُّوْحٍ وَّاِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَمُوْسٰى وَعِيْسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ۖوَاَخَذْنَا مِنْهُمْ مِّيْثَاقًا غَلِيْظًاۙ

Wa iż akhażnā minan-nabiyyīna mīṡāqahum wa minka wa min nūḥiw wa ibrāhīma wa mūsā wa ‘īsabni maryam(a), wa akhażnā minhum mīṡāqan galīẓā(n).

And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from the prophets, as well as from you ˹O Prophet˺, and from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, son of Mary. We did take a solemn covenant from ˹all of˺ them
لِّيَسْـَٔلَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ عَنْ صِدْقِهِمْ ۚوَاَعَدَّ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا ࣖ

Liyas'alaṣ-ṣādiqīna ‘an ṣidqihim, wa a‘adda lil-kāfirīna ‘ażāban alīmā(n).

so that He may question these men of truth about their ˹delivery of the˺ truth. And He has prepared a painful punishment for the disbelievers.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ اِذْ جَاۤءَتْكُمْ جُنُوْدٌ فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيْحًا وَّجُنُوْدًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرًاۚ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanużkurū ni‘matallāhi ‘alaikum iż jā'atkum junūdun fa'arsalnā ‘alaihim rīḥaw wa junūdal lam tarauhā, wa kānallāhu bimā ta‘malūna baṣīrā(n).

O believers! Remember Allah’s favour upon you when ˹enemy˺ forces came to ˹besiege˺ you ˹in Medina˺, so We sent against them a ˹bitter˺ wind and forces you could not see. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
اِذْ جَاۤءُوْكُمْ مِّنْ فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ اَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَاِذْ زَاغَتِ الْاَبْصَارُ وَبَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوْبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ الظُّنُوْنَا۠ ۗ

Iż jā'ūkum min fauqikum wa min asfala minkum wa iż zāgatil-abṣāru wa balagatil-qulūbul-ḥanājira wa taẓunnūna billāhiẓ-ẓunūnā.

˹Remember˺ when they came at you from east and west, when your eyes grew wild ˹in horror˺ and your hearts jumped into your throats, and you entertained ˹conflicting˺ thoughts about Allah.
هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَزُلْزِلُوْا زِلْزَالًا شَدِيْدًا

Hunālikabtuliyal-mu'minūna wa zulzilū zilzālan syadīdā(n).

Then and there the believers were put to the test, and were violently shaken.
وَاِذْ يَقُوْلُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَالَّذِيْنَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ مَّا وَعَدَنَا اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗٓ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا

Wa iż yaqūlul-munāfiqūna wal-lażīna fī qulūbihim maraḍum mā wa‘adanallāhu wa rasūluhū illā gurūrā(n).

And ˹remember˺ when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said, “Allah and His Messenger have promised us nothing but delusion!”
وَاِذْ قَالَتْ طَّاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ يٰٓاَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوْا ۚوَيَسْتَأْذِنُ فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُوْلُوْنَ اِنَّ بُيُوْتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ ۗوَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ ۗاِنْ يُّرِيْدُوْنَ اِلَّا فِرَارًا

Wa iż qālat ṭā'ifatum minhum yā ahla yaṡriba lā muqāma lakum farji‘ū, wa yasta'żinu farīqum minhumun-nabiyya yaqūlūna inna buyūtanā ‘aurah(tun), wa mā hiya bi‘aurah(tin), iy yurīdūna illā firārā(n).

And ˹remember˺ when a group of them said, “O people of Yathrib! There is no point in you staying ˹here˺, so retreat!” Another group of them asked the Prophet’s permission ˹to leave˺, saying, “Our homes are vulnerable,” while ˹in fact˺ they were not vulnerable. They only wished to flee.
وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ اَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُىِٕلُوا الْفِتْنَةَ لَاٰتَوْهَا وَمَا تَلَبَّثُوْا بِهَآ اِلَّا يَسِيْرًا

Wa lau dukhilat ‘alaihim min aqṭārihā ṡumma su'ilul-fitnata la'ātauhā wa mā talabbaṡū bihā illā yasīrā(n).

Had their city been sacked from all sides and they had been asked to abandon faith, they would have done so with little hesitation.
وَلَقَدْ كَانُوْا عَاهَدُوا اللّٰهَ مِنْ قَبْلُ لَا يُوَلُّوْنَ الْاَدْبَارَ ۗوَكَانَ عَهْدُ اللّٰهِ مَسْـُٔوْلًا

Wa laqad kānū ‘āhadullāha min qablu lā yuwallūnal-adbār(a), wa kāna ‘ahdullāhi mas'ūlā(n).

They had already pledged to Allah earlier never to turn their backs ˹in retreat˺. And a pledge to Allah must be answered for.
قُلْ لَّنْ يَّنْفَعَكُمُ الْفِرَارُ اِنْ فَرَرْتُمْ مِّنَ الْمَوْتِ اَوِ الْقَتْلِ وَاِذًا لَّا تُمَتَّعُوْنَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

Qul lay yanfa‘akumul-firāru in farartum minal-mauti awil-qatli wa iżal lā tumatta‘ūna illā qalīlā(n).

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Fleeing will not benefit you if you ˹try to˺ escape a natural or violent death. ˹If it is not your time,˺ you will only be allowed enjoyment for a little while.”
قُلْ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يَعْصِمُكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ سُوْۤءًا اَوْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ رَحْمَةً ۗوَلَا يَجِدُوْنَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِيًّا وَّلَا نَصِيْرًا

Qul man żal-lażī ya‘ṣimukum minallāhi in arāda bikum sū'an au arāda bikum raḥmah(tan), wa lā yajidūna lahum min dūnillāhi waliyyaw wa lā naṣīrā(n).

Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Who can put you out of Allah’s reach if He intends to harm you or show you mercy?” They can never find any protector or helper besides Allah.
۞ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ اللّٰهُ الْمُعَوِّقِيْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَالْقَاۤىِٕلِيْنَ لِاِخْوَانِهِمْ هَلُمَّ اِلَيْنَا ۚوَلَا يَأْتُوْنَ الْبَأْسَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًاۙ

Qad ya‘lamullāhul-mu‘awwiqīna minkum wal-qā'ilīna li'ikhwānihim halumma ilainā, wa lā ya'tūnal-ba'sa illā qalīlā(n).

Allah knows well those among you who discourage ˹others from fighting˺, saying ˹secretly˺ to their brothers, “Stay with us,” and who themselves hardly take part in fighting.
اَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ الْخَوْفُ رَاَيْتَهُمْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ تَدُوْرُ اَعْيُنُهُمْ كَالَّذِيْ يُغْشٰى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِۚ فَاِذَا ذَهَبَ الْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوْكُمْ بِاَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ اَشِحَّةً عَلَى الْخَيْرِۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوْا فَاَحْبَطَ اللّٰهُ اَعْمَالَهُمْۗ وَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرًا

Asyiḥḥatan ‘alaikum, fa iżā jā'al-khaufu ra'aitahum yanẓurūna ilaika tadūru a‘yunuhum kal-lażī yugsyā ‘alaihi minal-maut(i), fa iżā żahabal-khaufu salaqūkum bi'alsinatin ḥidādin asyiḥḥatan ‘alal-khair(i), ulā'ika lam yu'minū fa aḥbaṭallāhu a‘mālahum, wa kāna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīrā(n).

˹They are˺ totally unwilling to assist you. When danger comes, you see them staring at you with their eyes rolling like someone in the throes of death. But once the danger is over, they slash you with razor-sharp tongues, ravenous for ˹worldly˺ gains. Such people have not ˹truly˺ believed, so Allah has rendered their deeds void. And that is easy for Allah.
يَحْسَبُوْنَ الْاَحْزَابَ لَمْ يَذْهَبُوْا ۚوَاِنْ يَّأْتِ الْاَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّوْا لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ بَادُوْنَ فِى الْاَعْرَابِ يَسْاَلُوْنَ عَنْ اَنْۢبَاۤىِٕكُمْ ۗوَلَوْ كَانُوْا فِيْكُمْ مَّا قٰتَلُوْٓا اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ࣖ

Yaḥsabūnal-aḥzāba lam yażhabū, wa iy ya'til aḥzābu yawaddū lau annahum bādūna fil a‘rābi yas'alūna ‘an ambā'ikum, wa lau kānū fīkum mā qātalū illā qalīlā(n).

They ˹still˺ think that the enemy alliance has not ˹yet˺ withdrawn. And if the allies were to come ˹again˺, the hypocrites would wish to be away in the desert among nomadic Arabs, ˹only˺ asking for news about you ˹believers˺. And if the hypocrites were in your midst, they would hardly take part in the fight.
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيْ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ اُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوا اللّٰهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللّٰهَ كَثِيْرًاۗ

Laqad kāna lakum fī rasūlillāhi uswatun ḥasanatul liman kāna yarjullāha wal yaumal ākhira wa żakarallāha kaṡīrā(n).

Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often.
وَلَمَّا رَاَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الْاَحْزَابَۙ قَالُوْا هٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ وَصَدَقَ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ۖوَمَا زَادَهُمْ اِلَّآ اِيْمَانًا وَّتَسْلِيْمًاۗ

Wa lammā ra'al-mu'minūnal-aḥzāb(a), qālū hāżā mā wa‘adanallāhu wa rasūluhū wa ṣadaqallāhu wa rasūluh(ū), wa mā zādahum illā īmānaw wa taslīmā(n).

When the believers saw the enemy alliance, they said, “This is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us. The promise of Allah and His Messenger has come true.” And this only increased them in faith and submission.
مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوْا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللّٰهَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ قَضٰى نَحْبَهٗۙ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّنْتَظِرُ ۖوَمَا بَدَّلُوْا تَبْدِيْلًاۙ

Minal-mu'minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadullāha ‘alaih(i), faminhum man qaḍā naḥbah(ū), wa minhum may yantaẓir(u), wa mā baddalū tabdīlā(n).

Among the believers are men who have proven true to what they pledged to Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pledge ˹with their lives˺, others are waiting ˹their turn˺. They have never changed ˹their commitment˺ in the least.
لِّيَجْزِيَ اللّٰهُ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ اِنْ شَاۤءَ اَوْ يَتُوْبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًاۚ

Liyajziyallāhuṣ-ṣādiqīna biṣidqihim wa yu‘ażżibal-munāfiqīna in syā'a au yatūba ‘alaihim, innallāha kāna gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

˹It all happened˺ so Allah may reward the faithful for their faithfulness, and punish the hypocrites if He wills or turn to them ˹in mercy˺. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَرَدَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِغَيْظِهِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوْا خَيْرًا ۗوَكَفَى اللّٰهُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الْقِتَالَ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيْزًاۚ

Wa raddallāhul-lażīna kafarū bigaiẓihim lam yanālū khairā(n), wa kafallāhul-mu'minīnal-qitāl(a), wa kānallāhu qawiyyan ‘azīzā(n).

And Allah drove back the disbelievers in their rage, totally empty-handed. And Allah spared the believers from fighting. For Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.
وَاَنْزَلَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَاهَرُوْهُمْ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ مِنْ صَيَاصِيْهِمْ وَقَذَفَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ فَرِيْقًا تَقْتُلُوْنَ وَتَأْسِرُوْنَ فَرِيْقًاۚ

Wa anzalal-lażīna ẓāharūhum min ahlil-kitābi min ṣayāṣīhim wa qażafa fī qulūbihimur-ru‘ba farīqan taqtulūna wa ta'sirūna farīqā(n).

And He brought down those from the People of the Book who supported the enemy alliance from their own strongholds, and cast horror into their hearts. You ˹believers˺ killed some, and took others captive.
وَاَوْرَثَكُمْ اَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيَارَهُمْ وَاَمْوَالَهُمْ وَاَرْضًا لَّمْ تَطَـُٔوْهَا ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرًا ࣖ

Wa auraṡakum arḍahum wa diyārahum wa amwālahum wa arḍal lam taṭa'ūhā, wa kānallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīrā(n).

He has also caused you to take over their lands, homes, and wealth, as well as lands you have not yet set foot on. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِّاَزْوَاجِكَ اِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِيْنَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ اُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَاُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيْلًا

Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu qul li'azwājika in kuntunna turidnal-ḥayātad-dun-yā wa zīnatahā fa ta‘ālaina umatti‘kunna wa usarriḥkunna sarāḥan jamīlā(n).

O Prophet! Say to your wives, “If you desire the life of this world and its luxury, then come, I will give you a ˹suitable˺ compensation ˹for divorce˺ and let you go graciously.
وَاِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَالدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنٰتِ مِنْكُنَّ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا

Wa in kuntunna turidnallāha wa rasūlahū wad-dāral-ākhirata fa innallāha a‘adda lil-muḥsināti minkunna ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the ˹everlasting˺ Home of the Hereafter, then Surely Allah has prepared a great reward for those of you who do good.”
يٰنِسَاۤءَ النَّبِيِّ مَنْ يَّأْتِ مِنْكُنَّ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ يُّضٰعَفْ لَهَا الْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَيْنِۗ وَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرًا ۔

Yā nisā'an-nabiyyi may ya'ti minkunna bifāḥisyatim mubayyinatiy yuḍā‘af lahal-‘ażābu ḍi‘fain(i), wa kāna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīrā(n).

O wives of the Prophet! If any of you were to commit a blatant misconduct, the punishment would be doubled for her. And that is easy for Allah.
۞ وَمَنْ يَّقْنُتْ مِنْكُنَّ لِلّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَتَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا نُّؤْتِهَآ اَجْرَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِۙ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لَهَا رِزْقًا كَرِيْمًا

Wa may yaqnut minkunna lillāhi wa rasūlihī wa ta‘mal ṣāliḥan nu'tihā ajrahā marratain(i), wa a‘tadnā lahā rizqan karīmā(n).

And whoever of you devoutly obeys Allah and His Messenger and does good, We will grant her double the reward, and We have prepared for her an honourable provision.
يٰنِسَاۤءَ النَّبِيِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَاَحَدٍ مِّنَ النِّسَاۤءِ اِنِ اتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِيْ فِيْ قَلْبِهٖ مَرَضٌ وَّقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًاۚ

Yā nisā'an-nabiyyi lastunna ka'aḥadim minan-nisā'i inittaqaitunna falā takhḍa‘na bil-qauli fa yaṭma‘al-lażī fī qalbihī maraḍuw wa qulna qaulam ma‘rūfā(n).

O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women: if you are mindful ˹of Allah˺, then do not be overly effeminate in speech ˹with men˺ or those with sickness in their hearts may be tempted, but speak in a moderate tone.
وَقَرْنَ فِيْ بُيُوْتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْاُوْلٰى وَاَقِمْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتِيْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَطِعْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۗاِنَّمَا يُرِيْدُ اللّٰهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ اَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيْرًاۚ

Wa qarna fī buyūtikunna wa lā tabarrajna tabarrujal-jāhiliyyatil-ūlā wa aqimnaṣ-ṣalāta wa ātīnaz-zakāta wa aṭi‘nallāha wa rasūlah(ū), innamā yurīdullāhu liyużhiba ‘ankumur-rijsa ahlal-baiti wa yuṭahhirakum taṭhīrā(n).

Settle in your homes, and do not display yourselves as women did in the days of ˹pre-Islamic˺ ignorance. Establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah only intends to keep ˹the causes of˺ evil away from you and purify you completely, O members of the ˹Prophet’s˺ family!
وَاذْكُرْنَ مَا يُتْلٰى فِيْ بُيُوْتِكُنَّ مِنْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَالْحِكْمَةِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ لَطِيْفًا خَبِيْرًا ࣖ

Ważkurna mā yutlā fī buyūtikunna min āyātillāhi wal-ḥikmah(ti), innallāha kāna laṭīfan khabīrā(n).

˹Always˺ remember what is recited in your homes of Allah’s revelations and ˹prophetic˺ wisdom. Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.
اِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَالْمُسْلِمٰتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ وَالْقٰنِتِيْنَ وَالْقٰنِتٰتِ وَالصّٰدِقِيْنَ وَالصّٰدِقٰتِ وَالصّٰبِرِيْنَ وَالصّٰبِرٰتِ وَالْخٰشِعِيْنَ وَالْخٰشِعٰتِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِيْنَ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقٰتِ وَالصَّاۤىِٕمِيْنَ وَالصّٰۤىِٕمٰتِ وَالْحٰفِظِيْنَ فُرُوْجَهُمْ وَالْحٰفِظٰتِ وَالذّٰكِرِيْنَ اللّٰهَ كَثِيْرًا وَّالذّٰكِرٰتِ اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةً وَّاَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا

Innal-muslimīna wal-muslimāti wal-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti wal-qānitīna wal-qānitāti waṣ-ṣādiqīna waṣ-ṣādiqāti waṣ-ṣābirīna waṣ-ṣābirāti wal-khāsyi‘īna wal-khāsyi‘āti wal-mutaṣaddiqīna wal-mutaṣaddiqāti waṣ-ṣā'imīna waṣ-ṣā'imāti wal-ḥāfiẓīna furūjahum wal-ḥāfiẓāti waż-żākirīnallāha kaṡīraw waż-żākirāti a‘addallāhu lahum magfirataw wa ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

Surely ˹for˺ Muslim men and women, believing men and women, devout men and women, truthful men and women, patient men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, men and women who guard their chastity, and men and women who remember Allah often—for ˹all of˺ them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَّلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ اِذَا قَضَى اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗٓ اَمْرًا اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ اَمْرِهِمْ ۗوَمَنْ يَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًا مُّبِيْنًاۗ

Wa mā kāna limu'miniw wa lā mu'minatin iżā qaḍallāhu wa rasūluhū amran ay yakūna lahumul-khiyaratu min amrihim, wa may ya‘ṣillāha wa rasūlahū faqad ḍalla ḍalālam mubīnā(n).

It is not for a believing man or woman—when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter. Indeed, whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has clearly gone ˹far˺ astray.
وَاِذْ تَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِيْٓ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ اَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللّٰهَ وَتُخْفِيْ فِيْ نَفْسِكَ مَا اللّٰهُ مُبْدِيْهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَۚ وَاللّٰهُ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَخْشٰىهُ ۗ فَلَمَّا قَضٰى زَيْدٌ مِّنْهَا وَطَرًاۗ زَوَّجْنٰكَهَا لِكَيْ لَا يَكُوْنَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ حَرَجٌ فِيْٓ اَزْوَاجِ اَدْعِيَاۤىِٕهِمْ اِذَا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًاۗ وَكَانَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ مَفْعُوْلًا

Wa iż taqūlu lil-lażī an‘amallāhu ‘alaihi wa an‘amta ‘alaihi amsik ‘alaika zaujaka wattaqillāha wa tukhfī fī nafsika mallāhu mubdīhi wa takhsyan-nās(a), wallāhu aḥaqqu an takhsyāh(u), falammā qaḍā zaidum minhā waṭaran zawwajnākahā likai lā yakūna ‘alal-mu'minīna ḥarajun fī azwāji ad‘iyā'ihim iżā qaḍau minhunna waṭarā(n), wa kāna amrullāhi maf‘ūlā(n).

And ˹remember, O Prophet,˺ when you said to the one for whom Allah has done a favour and you ˹too˺ have done a favour, “Keep your wife and fear Allah,” while concealing within yourself what Allah was going to reveal. And ˹so˺ you were considering the people, whereas Allah was more worthy of your consideration. So when Zaid totally lost interest in ˹keeping˺ his wife, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there would be no blame on the believers for marrying the ex-wives of their adopted sons after their divorce. And Allah’s command is totally binding.
مَا كَانَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيْمَا فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ لَهٗ ۗسُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ فِى الَّذِيْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ۗوَكَانَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ قَدَرًا مَّقْدُوْرًاۙ

Mā kāna ‘alan-nabiyyi min ḥarajin fīmā faraḍallāhu lah(ū), sunnatallāhi fil-lażīna khalau min qabl(u), wa kāna amrullāhi qadaram maqdūrā(n).

There is no blame on the Prophet for doing what Allah has ordained for him. That has been the way of Allah with those ˹prophets˺ who had gone before. And Allah’s command has been firmly decreed.
ۨالَّذِيْنَ يُبَلِّغُوْنَ رِسٰلٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهٗ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ اَحَدًا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۗوَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ حَسِيْبًا

Allażīna yuballigūna risālātillāhi wa yakhsyaunahū wa lā yakhsyauna aḥadan illallāh(a), wa kafā billāhi ḥasībā(n).

˹That is His way with˺ those ˹prophets˺ who deliver the messages of Allah, and consider Him, and none but Allah. And sufficient is Allah as a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner.
مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ اَبَآ اَحَدٍ مِّنْ رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ رَّسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيّٖنَۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمًا ࣖ

Mā kāna muḥammadun abā aḥadim mir rijālikum wa lākir rasūlallāhi wa khātaman-nabiyyīn(a), wa kānallāhu bikulli syai'in ‘alīmā(n).

Muḥammad is not the father of any of your men, but is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيْرًاۙ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanużkurullāha żikran kaṡīrā(n),

O believers! Always remember Allah often,
وَّسَبِّحُوْهُ بُكْرَةً وَّاَصِيْلًا

Wa sabbiḥūhu bukrataw wa aṣīlā(n).

and glorify Him morning and evening.
هُوَ الَّذِيْ يُصَلِّيْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلٰۤىِٕكَتُهٗ لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِۗ وَكَانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ رَحِيْمًا

Huwal-lażī yuṣallī ‘alaikum wa malā'ikatahū liyukhrijakum minaẓ-ẓulumāti ilan-nūr(i), wa kāna bil-mu'minīna raḥīmā(n).

He is the One Who showers His blessings upon you—and His angels pray for you—so that He may bring you out of darkness and into light. For He is ever Merciful to the believers.
تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهٗ سَلٰمٌ ۚوَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا كَرِيْمًا

Taḥiyyatuhum yauma yalqaunahū salām(un), wa a‘adda lahum ajran karīmā(n).

Their greeting on the Day they meet Him will be, “Peace!” And He has prepared for them an honourable reward.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ شَاهِدًا وَّمُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيْرًاۙ

Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu innā arsalnāka syāhidaw wa mubasysyiraw wa nażīrā(n).

O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, and a deliverer of good news, and a warner,
وَّدَاعِيًا اِلَى اللّٰهِ بِاِذْنِهٖ وَسِرَاجًا مُّنِيْرًا

Wa dā‘iyan ilallāhi bi'iżnihī wa sirājam munīrā(n).

and a caller to ˹the Way of˺ Allah by His command, and a beacon of light.
وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ بِاَنَّ لَهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ فَضْلًا كَبِيْرًا

Wa basysyiril-mu'minīna bi'anna lahum minallāhi faḍlan kabīrā(n).

Give good news to the believers that they will have a great bounty from Allah.
وَلَا تُطِعِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَدَعْ اَذٰىهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗوَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِيْلًا

Wa lā tuṭi‘il-kāfirīna wal-munāfiqīna wa da‘ ażāhum wa tawakkal ‘alallāh(i), wa kafā billāhi wakīlā(n).

Do not yield to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Overlook their annoyances, and put your trust in Allah. For Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا نَكَحْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوْهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَمَسُّوْهُنَّ فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّوْنَهَاۚ فَمَتِّعُوْهُنَّ وَسَرِّحُوْهُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيْلًا

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā nakaḥtumul-mu'mināti ṡumma ṭallaqtumūhunna min qabli an tamassūhunna famā lakum ‘alaihinna min ‘iddatin ta‘taddūnahā, fa matti‘ūhunna wa sarriḥūhunna sarāḥan jamīlā(n).

O believers! If you marry believing women and then divorce them before you touch them, they will have no waiting period for you to count, so give them a ˹suitable˺ compensation, and let them go graciously.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اِنَّآ اَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ اَزْوَاجَكَ الّٰتِيْٓ اٰتَيْتَ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِيْنُكَ مِمَّآ اَفَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ وَبَنٰتِ عَمِّكَ وَبَنٰتِ عَمّٰتِكَ وَبَنٰتِ خَالِكَ وَبَنٰتِ خٰلٰتِكَ الّٰتِيْ هَاجَرْنَ مَعَكَۗ وَامْرَاَةً مُّؤْمِنَةً اِنْ وَّهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ اِنْ اَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ اَنْ يَّسْتَنْكِحَهَا خَالِصَةً لَّكَ مِنْ دُوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۗ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا فَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيْٓ اَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُهُمْ لِكَيْلَا يَكُوْنَ عَلَيْكَ حَرَجٌۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا

O Prophet! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their ˹full˺ dowries as well as those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession, whom Allah has granted you. And ˹you are allowed to marry˺ the daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and aunts, who have emigrated like you. Also ˹allowed for marriage is˺ a believing woman who offers herself to the Prophet ˹without dowry˺ if he is interested in marrying her—˹this is˺ exclusively for you, not for the rest of the believers. We know well what ˹rulings˺ We have ordained for the believers in relation to their wives and those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession. As such, there would be no blame on you. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
۞ تُرْجِيْ مَنْ تَشَاۤءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُـْٔوِيْٓ اِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاۤءُۗ وَمَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَۗ ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰٓى اَنْ تَقَرَّ اَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَلَا يَحْزَنَّ وَيَرْضَيْنَ بِمَآ اٰتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيْمًا حَلِيْمًا

It is up to you ˹O Prophet˺ to delay or receive whoever you please of your wives. There is no blame on you if you call back any of those you have set aside. That is more likely that they will be content, not grieved, and satisfied with what you offer them all. Allah ˹fully˺ knows what is in your hearts. And Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاۤءُ مِنْۢ بَعْدُ وَلَآ اَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ اَزْوَاجٍ وَّلَوْ اَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ اِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِيْنُكَۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَّقِيْبًا ࣖ

It is not lawful for you ˹O Prophet˺ to marry more women after this, nor can you replace any of your present wives with another, even if her beauty may attract you—except those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession. And Allah is ever Watchful over all things.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَدْخُلُوْا بُيُوْتَ النَّبِيِّ اِلَّآ اَنْ يُّؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ اِلٰى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نٰظِرِيْنَ اِنٰىهُ وَلٰكِنْ اِذَا دُعِيْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوْا فَاِذَا طَعِمْتُمْ فَانْتَشِرُوْا وَلَا مُسْتَأْنِسِيْنَ لِحَدِيْثٍۗ اِنَّ ذٰلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِى النَّبِيَّ فَيَسْتَحْيٖ مِنْكُمْ ۖوَاللّٰهُ لَا يَسْتَحْيٖ مِنَ الْحَقِّۗ وَاِذَا سَاَلْتُمُوْهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَسْـَٔلُوْهُنَّ مِنْ وَّرَاۤءِ حِجَابٍۗ ذٰلِكُمْ اَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوْبِكُمْ وَقُلُوْبِهِنَّۗ وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ اَنْ تُؤْذُوْا رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ وَلَآ اَنْ تَنْكِحُوْٓا اَزْوَاجَهٗ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖٓ اَبَدًاۗ اِنَّ ذٰلِكُمْ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ عَظِيْمًا

O believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet without permission ˹and if invited˺ for a meal, do not ˹come too early and˺ linger until the meal is ready. But if you are invited, then enter ˹on time˺. Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behaviour is truly annoying to the Prophet, yet he is too shy to ask you to leave. But Allah is never shy of the truth. And when you ˹believers˺ ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and theirs. And it is not right for you to annoy the Messenger of Allah, nor ever marry his wives after him. This would certainly be a major offence in the sight of Allah.
اِنْ تُبْدُوْا شَيْـًٔا اَوْ تُخْفُوْهُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمًا

In tubdū syai'an au tukhfūhu fa'innallāha kāna bikulli syai'in ‘alīmā(n).

Whether you reveal something or conceal it, surely Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.
لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِيْٓ اٰبَاۤىِٕهِنَّ وَلَآ اَبْنَاۤىِٕهِنَّ وَلَآ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ وَلَآ اَبْنَاۤءِ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ وَلَآ اَبْنَاۤءِ اَخَوٰتِهِنَّ وَلَا نِسَاۤىِٕهِنَّ وَلَا مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُهُنَّۚ وَاتَّقِيْنَ اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدًا

There is no blame on the Prophet’s wives ˹if they appear unveiled˺ before their fathers, their sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their fellow ˹Muslim˺ women, and those ˹bondspeople˺ in their possession. And be mindful of Allah ˹O wives of the Prophet!˺ Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَمَلٰۤىِٕكَتَهٗ يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّۗ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا صَلُّوْا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِيْمًا

Innallāha wa malā'ikatahū yuṣallūna ‘alan-nabiyy(i), yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū ṣallū ‘alaihi wa sallimū taslīmā(n).

Indeed, Allah showers His blessings upon the Prophet, and His angels pray for him. O believers! Invoke Allah’s blessings upon him, and salute him with worthy greetings of peace.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُؤْذُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ وَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُّهِيْنًا

Innal-lażīna yu'żūnallāha wa rasūlahū la‘anahumullāhu fid-dun-yā wal-ākhirati wa a‘adda lahum ‘ażābam muhīnā(n).

Surely those who offend Allah and His Messenger are condemned by Allah in this world and the Hereafter. And He has prepared for them a humiliating punishment.
وَالَّذِيْنَ يُؤْذُوْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوْا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوْا بُهْتَانًا وَّاِثْمًا مُّبِيْنًا ࣖ

Wal-lażīna yu'żūnal-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti bigairi maktasabū faqadiḥtamalū buhtānaw wa iṡmam mubīnā(n).

As for those who abuse believing men and women unjustifiably, they will definitely bear the guilt of slander and blatant sin.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِّاَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنٰتِكَ وَنِسَاۤءِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ يُدْنِيْنَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلَابِيْبِهِنَّۗ ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰىٓ اَنْ يُّعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا

O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
۞ لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ يَنْتَهِ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَالَّذِيْنَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ وَّالْمُرْجِفُوْنَ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ لَنُغْرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ لَا يُجَاوِرُوْنَكَ فِيْهَآ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

If the hypocrites, and those with sickness in their hearts, and rumour-mongers in Medina do not desist, We will certainly incite you ˹O Prophet˺ against them, and then they will not be your neighbours there any longer.
مَلْعُوْنِيْنَۖ اَيْنَمَا ثُقِفُوْٓا اُخِذُوْا وَقُتِّلُوْا تَقْتِيْلًا

Mal‘ūnīn(a), ainamā ṡuqifū ukhiżū wa quttilū taqtīlā(n).

˹They deserve to be˺ condemned. ˹If they were to persist,˺ they would get themselves seized and killed relentlessly wherever they are found!
سُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ فِى الَّذِيْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ۚوَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللّٰهِ تَبْدِيْلًا

Sunnatallāhi fil-lażīna khalau min qabl(u), wa lan tajida lisunnatillāhi tabdīlā(n).

That was Allah’s way with those ˹hypocrites˺ who have gone before. And you will find no change in Allah’s way.
يَسْـَٔلُكَ النَّاسُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِۗ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَمَا يُدْرِيْكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ تَكُوْنُ قَرِيْبًا

Yas'alukan-nāsu ‘anis-sā‘ah(ti), qul innamā ‘ilmuhā ‘indallāh(i), wa mā yudrīka la‘allas-sā‘ata takūnu qarībā(n).

People ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about the Hour. Say, “That knowledge is only with Allah. You never know, perhaps the Hour is near.”
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ وَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ سَعِيْرًاۙ

Innallāha la‘anal-kāfirīna wa a‘adda lahum sa‘īrā(n).

Surely Allah condemns the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a blazing Fire,
خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ اَبَدًاۚ لَا يَجِدُوْنَ وَلِيًّا وَّلَا نَصِيْرًا ۚ

Khālidīna fīhā abadā(n), lā yajidūna waliyyaw wa lā naṣīrā(n).

to stay there for ever and ever—never will they find any protector or helper.
يَوْمَ تُقَلَّبُ وُجُوْهُهُمْ فِى النَّارِ يَقُوْلُوْنَ يٰلَيْتَنَآ اَطَعْنَا اللّٰهَ وَاَطَعْنَا الرَّسُوْلَا۠

Yauma tuqallabu wujūhuhum fin-nāri yaqūlūna yā laitanā aṭa‘nallāha wa aṭa‘nar-rasūlā.

On the Day their faces are ˹constantly˺ flipped in the Fire, they will cry, “Oh! If only we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!”
وَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَآ اِنَّآ اَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَاۤءَنَا فَاَضَلُّوْنَا السَّبِيْلَا۠

Wa qālū rabbanā innā aṭa‘nā sādatanā wa kubarā'anā fa aḍallūnas-sabīlā.

And they will say, “Our Lord! We obeyed our leaders and elite, but they led us astray from the ˹Right˺ Way.
رَبَّنَآ اٰتِهِمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَالْعَنْهُمْ لَعْنًا كَبِيْرًا ࣖ

Rabbanā ātihim ḍi‘faini minal-‘ażābi wal‘anhum la‘nan kabīrā(n).

Our Lord! Give them double ˹our˺ punishment, and condemn them tremendously.”
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِيْنَ اٰذَوْا مُوْسٰى فَبَرَّاَهُ اللّٰهُ مِمَّا قَالُوْا ۗوَكَانَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَجِيْهًا ۗ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā takūnū kal-lażīna āżau mūsā fa barra'ahullāhu mimmā qālū, wa kāna ‘indallāhi wajīhā(n).

O believers! Do not be like those who slandered Moses, but Allah cleared him of what they said. And he was honourable in the sight of Allah.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَقُوْلُوْا قَوْلًا سَدِيْدًاۙ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanuttaqullāha wa qūlū qaulan sadīdā(n).

O believers! Be mindful of Allah, and say what is right.
يُّصْلِحْ لَكُمْ اَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْۗ وَمَنْ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيْمًا

Yuṣliḥ lakum a‘mālakum wa yagfir lakum żunūbakum, wa may yuṭi‘illāha wa rasūlahū faqad fāza fauzan ‘aẓīmā(n).

He will bless your deeds for you, and forgive your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, has truly achieved a great triumph.
اِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْاَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَاَبَيْنَ اَنْ يَّحْمِلْنَهَا وَاَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْاِنْسَانُۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ ظَلُوْمًا جَهُوْلًاۙ

Innā ‘araḍnal-amānata ‘alas-samāwāti wal-arḍi fa abaina ay yaḥmilnahā wa asyfaqna minhā wa ḥamalahal-insān(u), innahū kāna ẓalūman jahūlā(n).

Indeed, We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they ˹all˺ declined to bear it, being fearful of it. But humanity assumed it, ˹for˺ they are truly wrongful ˹to themselves˺ and ignorant ˹of the consequences˺,
لِّيُعَذِّبَ اللّٰهُ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتِ وَالْمُشْرِكِيْنَ وَالْمُشْرِكٰتِ وَيَتُوْبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا ࣖ

Liyu‘ażżiballāhul-munāfiqīna wal-munāfiqāti wal-musyrikīna wal-musyrikāti wa yatūballāhu ‘alal-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināt(i), wa kānallāhu gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

so that Allah will punish hypocrite men and women and polytheistic men and women, and Allah will turn in mercy to believing men and women. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
