1

O PROPHET FEAR God and do not follow the unbelievers and the hypocrites.

Ahmed Ali 33:1

2

Follow what is revealed to you by your Lord. Verily God is all-knowing and all-wise.

Ahmed Ali 33:2

3

Trust in God. God is sufficient as guardian.

Ahmed Ali 33:3

4

God has not provided two hearts in the breast of a man, nor made your wives, whom you pronounce "mothers" (in order to divorce them), your real mothers, nor has He made your adopted sons your real sons. This is only what your lips pronounce. God says what is just, and shows the right way.

Ahmed Ali 33:4

5

Call them by the names of their fathers. This is the right course in the sight of God. If you do not know their fathers, they are then your brothers in religion and your friends. It will not be a sin if you make a mistake, unless you do so intentionally; for God is forgiving and kind.

Ahmed Ali 33:5

6

The Prophet is closer to the faithful than they are themselves; and his wives are as their mothers. Yet blood relations are closer to one another according to God's decree, more than (other) believers and the emigrants (who left their homes in the cause of God), but you should be kind to your friends. This is inscribed in the Book (of decrees).

Ahmed Ali 33:6

7

When We made the covenant with the prophets, and with you, as with Noah and Abraham, Moses and Jesus son of Mary, a binding covenant,

Ahmed Ali 33:7

8

(It was) so that God may ask the truthful of their sincerity. As for the infidels, He has prepared a painful punishment for them.

Ahmed Ali 33:8

9

O you who believe, remember the favours of God to you when an army came against you and We sent a wind against them and forces that you did not see. But God sees all that you do.

Ahmed Ali 33:9

10

When they came upon you from above and below you, when the eyes were stupefied with horror, and hearts jumped to the throats, and you made wild suppositions about God.

Ahmed Ali 33:10

11

The faithful were sorely tried there and were shaken completely,

Ahmed Ali 33:11

12

When the hypocrites and those who were filled with doubt, said: "The promise of God and His Apostle was nothing but deceit."

Ahmed Ali 33:12

13

When a section of them said: "O people of Yathrib, there is no place for you here, turn back;" and a section of them asked leave of the Prophet, saying: "Our homes lie exposed," -- while they were not exposed. Their only intention was to run away.

Ahmed Ali 33:13

14

If the (enemy) had entered the city from every side and asked them to rise in revolt, they would have done so, and not hesitated but a little;

Ahmed Ali 33:14

15

Whereas earlier they had made a promise to God that they would never turn their backs; and a promise made to God is answerable.

Ahmed Ali 33:15

16

Say: "Of no gain will be your running away if you run from death or being killed, even then you will enjoy the good things of life but only for a while."

Ahmed Ali 33:16

17

Say: "Who will save you from God if He decide to afflict you or show you His mercy?" They will never find a friend or helper apart from God.

Ahmed Ali 33:17

18

Surely God knows who among you obstruct, and those who say to their brethren: "Come to us," and go to battle but seldom,

Ahmed Ali 33:18

19

Being chary of helping you. But when danger appears you will find them looking at you with eyes turning like a man's in the swoon of death. Yet when the danger is past they lash you with sharp tongues, covetous of the best (of booty). Such as these have not come to belief. So God nullifies whatever they have done. This is how (the innate law of) God works inevitably.

Ahmed Ali 33:19

20

They think the allied tribes have not withdrawn; and if the allied tribes had advanced they would have wished that they were rather with the Arabs of the desert asking news of you; and had they been among you they would have fought but just a little.

Ahmed Ali 33:20

21

You have indeed a noble paradigm in the Apostle of God for him who fears God and the Day of Resurrection, and remembers God frequently.

Ahmed Ali 33:21

22

When the faithful saw (the armies of) the allied tribes, they said: "This is what God and His Apostle had promised us; and God and His Apostle say the truth;" and this enhanced their faith and obedience.

Ahmed Ali 33:22

23

There are men among the faithful who have been true to the covenant they had made with God; and some of them fulfilled their vows (by dying in His cause), and some still wait (prepared for death), and stand firm,

Ahmed Ali 33:23

24

That God may recompense the truthful for their truthfulness, and punish the hypocrites or relent towards them, as He will. God is surely forgiving and kind.

Ahmed Ali 33:24

25

God drove the unbelievers back in their fury, and they gained no advantage. God was sufficient (to help) the believers in the battle. God is all-powerful and all-mighty.

Ahmed Ali 33:25

26

He made those of the people of the Book who had helped (the tribes) descend from their forts, and filled their hearts with dread, so that you killed some and made many captive;

Ahmed Ali 33:26

27

And He made you inherit their lands and mansions and wealth, and a country you had not traversed before, for God has power over everything.

Ahmed Ali 33:27

28

O Prophet, say to your wives: "In case you desire the life and pomp of this world, come, I will provide you handsomely, and let you go with a grace.

Ahmed Ali 33:28

29

But if you desire God, His Apostle, and the joys of life to come, then God has verily set apart for those of you who are good, a great reward."

Ahmed Ali 33:29

30

O wives of the Prophet, whosoever of you commits an act of clear shamelessness, her punishment will be doubled. This is how (the innate law of) God works inevitably.

Ahmed Ali 33:30
