1
O you prophet, you shall reverence GOD and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.
2
Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you all do.
3
And put your trust in GOD. GOD suffices as an advocate.
4
GOD did not give any man two hearts in his chest. Nor did He turn your wives whom you estrange (according to your custom) into your mothers. Nor did He turn your adopted children into genetic offspring. All these are mere utterances that you have invented. GOD speaks the truth, and He guides in the (right) path.
5
You shall give your adopted children names that preserve their relationship to their genetic parents. This is more equitable in the sight of GOD. If you do not know their parents, then, as your brethren in religion, you shall treat them as members of your family. You do not commit a sin if you make a mistake in this respect; you are responsible for your purposeful intentions. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
6
The prophet is closer to the believers than they are to each other, and his wives are like mothers to them. The relatives ought to take care of one another in accordance with GOD's scripture. Thus, the believers shall take care of their relatives who immigrate to them, provided they have taken care of their own families first. These are commandments of this scripture.
7
Recall that we took from the prophets their covenant, including you (O Muhammad), Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary. We took from them a solemn pledge.
8
Subsequently, He will surely question the truthful about their truthfulness, and has prepared for the disbelievers (in this Quranic fact) a painful retribution.
9
O you who believe, remember GOD's blessing upon you; when soldiers attacked you, we sent upon them violent wind and invisible soldiers. GOD is Seer of everything you do.
10
When they came from above you, and from beneath you, your eyes were terrified, your hearts ran out of patience, and you harbored unbefitting thoughts about GOD.
11
That is when the believers were truly tested; they were severely shaken up.
12
The hypocrites and those with doubts in their hearts said, What GOD and His messenger promised us was no more than an illusion!
13
A group of them said, O people of Yathrib, you cannot attain victory; go back. Others made up excuses to the prophet: Our homes are vulnerable, when they were not vulnerable. They just wanted to flee.
14
Had the enemy invaded and asked them to join, they would have joined the enemy without hesitation.
15
They had pledged to GOD in the past that they would not turn around and flee; making a pledge with GOD involves a great responsibility.
16
Say, If you flee, you can never flee from death or from being killed. No matter what happens, you only live a short while longer.
17
Say, Who would protect you from GOD if He willed any adversity, or willed any blessing for you? They can never find, beside GOD, any other Lord and Master.
18
GOD is fully aware of the hinderers among you, and those who say to their comrades, Let us all stay behind. Rarely do they mobilize for defense.
19
Also, they are too stingy when dealing with you. If anything threatens the community, you see their eyes rolling with fear, as if death had already come to them. Once the crisis is over, they whip you with sharp tongues. They are too stingy with their wealth. These are not believers, and, consequently, GOD has nullified their works. This is easy for GOD to do.
20
They thought that the parties might come back. In that case, they would wish that they were lost in the desert, asking about your news from afar. Had the parties attacked you while they were with you, they would rarely support you.
21
The messenger of GOD has set up a good example for those among you who seek GOD and the Last Day, and constantly think about GOD.
22
When the true believers saw the parties (ready to attack), they said, This is what GOD and His messenger have promised us, and GOD and His messenger are truthful. This (dangerous situation) only strengthened their faith and augmented their submission.
23
Among the believers there are people who fulfill their pledges with GOD. Some of them died, while others stand ready, never wavering.
24
GOD will surely recompense the truthful for their truthfulness, and will punish the hypocrites, if He so wills, or redeem them. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
25
GOD repulsed those who disbelieved with their rage, and they left empty handed. GOD thus spared the believers any fighting. GOD is Powerful, Almighty.
26
He also brought down their allies among the people of the scripture from their secure positions, and threw terror into their hearts. Some of them you killed, and some you took captive.
27
He made you inherit their land, their homes, their money, and lands you had never stepped on. GOD is in full control of all things.
28
O prophet, say to your wives, If you are seeking this life and its vanities, then let me compensate you and allow you to go amicably.
29
But if you are seeking GOD and His messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter, then GOD has prepared for the righteous among you a great recompense.
30
O wives of the prophet, if any of you commits a gross sin, the retribution will be doubled for her. This is easy for GOD to do.
