1

(I)O Prophet, heed God and do not obey disbelievers and hypocrites. God is Aware, Wise.

T.B.Irving 33:1

2

Follow whatever you are inspired with by your Lord; God is Informed about what you (all) are doing.

T.B.Irving 33:2

3

Rely on God; God suffices as a Trustee.

T.B.Irving 33:3

4

God has not placed two hearts in any man's body. Nor has He granted you wives whom you may back away from, to act as your mothers, nor has He granted your adopted sons to be your own sons. That is your own statement made by your own mouths. God states the Truth and He guides one along the Way.

T.B.Irving 33:4

5

Call them after their own fathers; it is fairer so far as God is concerned. If you do not know who their fathers were, then (call them) your brothers in religion and your wards. What you may have slipped up on already will not be held against you, but only something your hearts have done intentionally. Yet God is Forgiving, Merciful.

T.B.Irving 33:5

6

The Prophet is closer to believers than even they themselves are, and his wives are (like) their mothers. Yet blood relatives are closer to one another in God's book than are believers and the Refugees, except that you should act in a proper manner towards your wards. That has been underlined in the Book.

T.B.Irving 33:6

7

When We made an agreement with the prophets, with you and with Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus the son of Mary, We pledged a solemn agreement with them

T.B.Irving 33:7

8

so He might question sincere persons concerning their sincerity. He has prepared painful torment for disbelievers!

T.B.Irving 33:8

9

(II) You who believe, remember God's favor upon you when the armies charged at you! We sent a wind and even armies you did not see against them. God was Observant of what you were doing,

T.B.Irving 33:9

10

as they came at you both from above you and from below you, and your eyesight faltered and your hearts leaped up into your throats, and you entertained certain thoughts about God;

T.B.Irving 33:10

11

there believers were tested and severely shaken as if in an earthquake.

T.B.Irving 33:11

12

Thus hypocrites and those whose hearts contain malice said: "God and His messenger have only promised us something to lure us on."

T.B.Irving 33:12

13

So when a faction of them said: "O people of Yathrib, there is no room for you, so return!", a group of them took leave of the Prophet, saying: "Our houses lie exposed." They were not defenceless; they merely wanted to run away.

T.B.Irving 33:13

14

If a raid had been made on them from (all) its quarters, then they had been asked to rise up in dissension, they would have done so and yet not lasted very long.

T.B.Irving 33:14

15

Still they had already pledged to God that they would not turn their backs! Any oath (made) to God will be asked about.

T.B.Irving 33:15

16

SAY: "Fleeing will never help you: if you should flee from death or slaughter, then you will still enjoy (life) only briefly."

T.B.Irving 33:16

17

SAY: "Who is there to shield you from God if He should want any ill for you or wants mercy for you?" They will find they have no patron nor any supporter besides God.

T.B.Irving 33:17

18

God knows the meddlers among you and the ones telling their brethren: "Come over to our side!" They only: take part in conflict for a little while,

T.B.Irving 33:18

19

skimping towards you (all). Whenever fear comes over them, you will see them looking at you, their eyes rolling around like someone whom death has almost seized. Once fear leaves them, they will lash out at you (all) with (their) sharp tongues, yet skimping about (doing) any good. Those persons do not believe, so God has foiled their actions. That is so easy for God (to do).

T.B.Irving 33:19

20

They reckon the Coalition will not go away. If the Coalition should come (again), they would like to be wandering around far away among the (desert) Arabs, asking for news about you. Yet even if they were among you, they would only fight a little.

T.B.Irving 33:20

21

(III) In God's messenger you have a fine model for someone who looks forward to (meeting) God and the Last Day, and mentions God frequently.

T.B.Irving 33:21

22

When believers saw the Coalition, they said: "This is what God and His messenger have promised us. God and His messenger have told the truth." It merely increased them in faith and submission.

T.B.Irving 33:22

23

Some believers are men who are sincere in what they pledge to God, while others have already fulfilled their mortal duty, and still others are waiting (their chance); they have not changed in the least,

T.B.Irving 33:23

24

so God may reward the truthful for their truthfulness and punish hypocrites if He so wishes, or else relent towards them. God is Forgiving, Merciful.

T.B.Irving 33:24

25

God sent the ones who disbelieved back in their fury; they did not accomplish any good. God spares believers the trouble of fighting; God is Strong, Powerful!

T.B.Irving 33:25

26

He has tossed some People of the Book who had backed them up, out of their strongholds and cast panic into their hearts; one group you killed while you captured another group.

T.B.Irving 33:26

27

He let you inherit their land, their homes and their property, plus a land you have not yet set foot on. God is Capable of everything!

T.B.Irving 33:27

28

(IV) O Prophet, tell your wives: "If you are wanting worldly life and its attraction, then come on! I'll let you enjoy them and dismiss you in a handsome fashion.

T.B.Irving 33:28

29

However if you have been wanting (to see) God and His messenger, as well as having a home in the Hereafter, well God has prepared splendid payment for the kindly women among you.

T.B.Irving 33:29

30

O wives of the Prophet, anyone of you who commits some flagrant act of misconduct shall have (her) punishment doubled twice over. That is easy for God (to do).

T.B.Irving 33:30
