33. SURAH AL-AHZAAB (THE
COMBINED FORCES)
(This Surah is Madani, containing
73 verses and 9 sections)
Allah’s Name to commence
with, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful.
33:1. O Conveyor of the unseen
news (i.e. Prophet)! keep fearing
Allah, and do not listen to the
disbelievers and the hypocrites.
Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Wise.
33:2. And keep following what
is revealed to you from your
Lord, O people! Allah is
observing your deeds.
33:3. And O Beloved, place
your trust in Allah; and Allah is
sufficient as the Disposer of
matters.
33:4. Allah has not kept two
hearts inside of any man. Nor
has He made those wives of
yours, whom you proclaim to
be equal to your mothers, as
your (real) mothers. Nor has He
made your adopted sons as
your real sons; this is (merely)
an utterance of your mouth.
And Allah proclaims the truth
and it is He Who shows the
(straight) path.
33:5. Call them (ie. adopted
children) with their (biological)
father’s names; this is more
justified according to Allah; then
if you do not know their fathers,
so they are your brothers in
faith, and your cousins in being
humans. And there is no sin
upon you for what you did
unknowingly (in the past); yes,
that is a sin which you commit
with the intention of the heart.
And Allah is Most Forgiving,
Most Merciful.
33:6. This Prophet (ie. the
Beloved Muhammad) has
greater ownership of the
Muslims than their own selves,
and his wives are their
mothers. And relatives are
closer to each other in the Book
of Allah than other Muslims
and immigrants, except that
you may do some favour upon
your friends (by including
them in your will); this is
written in the Book.
33:7. And O Beloved, remember
when We took a covenant from
the Prophets, and from you, and
from Nooh, and Ibrahim, and
Moosa, and ‘Eisa; the son of
Maryam; and We took a solemn
covenant from them.
33:8. So that He may question
the truthful ones regarding
their truth. And He has kept
ready a painful punishment for
the disbelievers.
33:9. O believers! Remember
the Favour of Allah upon you
when some armies came to
(attack) you, so We sent on
them a windstorm and the
armies which you do not see;
and Allah sees your deeds.
33:10. When the disbelievers
came upon you from above you
and from below you, and when
the eyes remained stagnant in
astonishment and the hearts
came up to the throats, and you
began to think of various
thoughts (of hope and despair)
regarding Allah.
33:11. That place proved to be
the testing ground for the
Muslims, and they were shaken.
with severe shock.
33:12. And when the hypocrites
and those in whose hearts is a
disease (of doubt) began saying,
‘Allah and the Messenger have
not given us the promise (of
victory) except that of deceit.’
33:13. And when a group
amongst them said, ‘O people
of Madinah! You do not have a
place to stay here; therefore, go
back to your homes.’ And a
group amongst them was
seeking permission from the
(Beloved) Prophet by saying
this; that ‘Our homes are
unprotected,’ and their homes
were not unprotected; they
wanted nothing except to flee.
33:14. And if the armies had
come upon them from the
outskirts of Madinah, then
demanded from them (to turn to)
disbelief, so they would certainly
have given into their demand
and in this regard would not
have delayed but a little.
33:15. And indeed, before this
they had made a covenant with
Allah that they would not turn
their backs (from war); and the
covenant of Allah will be
questioned.
33:16. Say you (O Beloved),
‘Fleeing will never benefit you
if you flee from death or killing,
and even then, you will not be
given the benefit of this world
except a little.’
33:17. Say you (O Beloved),
‘Who is he that can avert the
command of Allah from you, if
He wills to harm you or wills to
have mercy upon you?’ And
other than Allah, they will not
find any supporter nor helper.
33:18. Indeed, Allah knows
those (i.e. the hypocrites) among
you who prevent others from
fighting in the way of Allah,
and they say to their brothers,
‘(Leave the Muslims and) come
towards us.’ And they do not
come to fight, except a few.
33:19. They are reluctant in
helping you; then when the
time of fear comes, you will
observe them looking at you in
such a manner with their eyes
rolling like death has enclosed
someone. Then when the time
of fear is over, they begin to
taunt you with sharp tongues
in greed for the spoils of war;
these people have not accepted
faith; henceforth, Allah has
nullified their (good) deeds,
and this is easy for Allah.
33:20. They are assuming that the
armies of the disbelievers have
not yet gone. And if the armies
come again, so their wish would
be (not to stay in Madinah but)
somehow, to go out to a village
seeking information about you.
And if they had stayed amongst
you, even then they would not
have fought, except a few.
33:21. Indeed, for you following
the Messenger of Allah is best
for the one who has hope in
Allah and the Last Day, and
remembers Allah in abundance.
33:22. And when the Muslims
saw the armies of disbelievers,
they said, ‘This is that which
Allah and His
promised us. Allah and His
Messenger have spoken the truth.’
And it did not increase anything
for them (ie. the Muslims) but
faith and being pleased with the
contentment of Allah.
33:23. Amongst the Muslims
are some such men who have
proven true their pledge which
they made with Allah. So,
amongst them is the one who
has already fulfilled his pledge,
and amongst them is the one
still waiting, and they did not
change at all.
33:24. In order that Allah may
reward the truthful for their
truthfulness, and punish the
hypocrites if He wills, or give
them (a chance for) repentance.
Indeed, Allah is Most
Forgiving, Ever Merciful.
33:25. And Allah turned the
disbelievers back (from the battle
of Ahzaab as defeated) along
with the burning of their hearts,
that they gained no benefit; and
Allah sufficed for the Muslims in
their fight And Allah is
Almighty, Most Honourable.
33:26. And He brought down
those People of the Book from
their forts who had supported
them (i.e. the polytheists) and
instilled awe into their hearts.
You slay a group (of fighters)
amongst them, and another
group (of women, children, etc.)
you make captive.
33:27. And He made you inherit
their land, and their houses,
and their wealth, and the land
that you have not yet set foot
upon; and Allah is Able to do
all things.
33:28. O Conveyor of the
unseen (i.e. Prophet), say to
your wives, ‘If you desire
worldly life and its adornment,
so come, I shall give you wealth
and release (i.e. divorce) you in
a good manner.’
33:29. ‘And if you desire Allah
and His Messenger and the
abode of the Hereafter; so,
Allah has indeed kept prepared
an immense reward for the
virtuous amongst you.’
33:30. O Wives of the (Beloved)
Prophet, if any amongst you
dares to clearly commit an act
against morality, for her will be
double the punishment in
comparison to others (due to
her elevated status); and this is
easy for Allah.
33:31. And whosoever
you (O Wives of the Prophet)
remains obedient to Allah and
His Messenger and performs
good deeds, We shall give her
double the reward of others, and
We have kept prepared for her
an honourable sustenance.
33:32. O Wives of the Prophet,
you are not like other women.
If you fear Allah, so do not
speak with such softness (to
any strange man) lest the one in
whose heart is a disease (of
immorality) has any greed; yes,
speak good words.
33:33. And stay in your homes
and do not remain unveiled like
the former unveiling in the
times of ignorance, and keep
Salah established, and pay
Zakah, and obey Allah and His
Messenger. Allah wills only to
remove every impurity from
you, O People of the House of
the Prophet, and make you
absolutely pure by cleansing
you.
33:34. And remember those
verses of Allah and wisdom
which are recited in your
homes. Indeed, Allah knows
every subtlety, All-Aware.
33:35. Indeed, the Muslim men
and the Muslim women, and the
believing men. and the believing
women, and the obedient men
and the obedient women, and
the truthful men and the truthful
women, and the patient men
and the patient women, and the
humble men and the humble
women, and the charitable men
and the charitable women, and
the fasting men and the fasting
women, and the men who guard
their chastity and the women
who guard their chastity, and
the men who abundantly
remember Allah and the women
who abundantly remember
Allah; for all of them, Allah has
kept prepared forgiveness and
an enormous reward.
33:36. And it does not befit a
Muslim man nor a Muslim
woman, that when Allah and
His Messenger have ordered any
command (regarding something
concerning them); so, any choice
may remain for them in their
matter. And whoever does not
obey the command of Allah and
His Messenger, he has indeed
gone astray in clear misguidance.
33:37. And OO _ Beloved,
remember when you were
saying to him upon whom Allah
has bestowed favour and you
had bestowed favour, ‘Keep
your wife with you, and fear
Allah,’ and you kept in your
heart that what Allah willed to
make known, and you feared
criticism. from the people; and
Allah has more right that you
should fear Him. Then when
Zaid’s purpose (i.e. divorcing his
wife) was completed, so We
gave her to you in marriage
(after her ‘Iddah period), so that
(in future) there may be no
difficulty for the believers in
respect of (getting married to)
the wives of their adopted sons,
when their act (of divorce) is
completed. And the command
of Allah must take place.
33:38. There is no blame upon
the Prophet regarding the
matter which Allah has decreed
for him. And Allah’s tradition is
continuing amongst those who
passed before, and _ the
command of Allah is fixed
destiny.
33:39. Those who deliver the
messages of Allah, and fear
Him, and do not fear anyone
except Allah; and Allah is
Sufficient to take account.
33:40. (The Beloved Prophet)
Muhammad is not the father of
any man amongst you. Yes, he is
the Messenger of Allah and the
Final amongst all the Prophets.
And Allah knows everything.
33:41. O believers! Remember
Allah abundantly.
33:42, And _ glorify Him,
morning and evening.
33:43. It is He Who sends
blessings upon you (O
companions of the Prophet),
and (so do) His angels; that He
may bring you out from
darknesses into light. And He is
Merciful upon the Muslims.
33:44. For them, the greeting at
the time of meeting is ‘Salaam
(i.e. peace be upon you);’ and
an honourable reward is kept
prepared for them.
33:45. O Conveyor of the
unseen news (i.e. Prophet), We
have indeed sent you (as a)
Present Eyewitness and a
Conveyor of glad tidings and
warning.
33:46. And as a Caller towards
Allah by His command, and
(as) an Illuminating Sun.
33:47. And give glad tidings to
the believers, that for them is
Allah’s great Benevolence.
33:48. And do not please the
disbelievers and the hypocrites,
and overlook the pain they
cause. And rely upon Allah,
and Allah is sufficient as the
Disposer of matters.
33:49. O believers! When you
marry Muslim women and then
divorce them without having
touched them, so (in this case)
there is no waiting period for
you, which you may count
(concerning them). Therefore,
give them some benefit and
release them in an honourable
manner.
33:50. O Conveyor of the unseen
news (ie. Prophet), We have
made lawful for you those of
your wives to whom you have
paid their dowry, and the
bondswomen you possess whom.
Allah granted you as spoils of
war, and the daughters of your
paternal uncles, and _ the
daughters of your paternal
aunts, and the daughters of your
maternal uncles, and _ the
daughters of your maternal
aunts who migrated with you;
and. the believing woman. if she
gifts herself to the Prophet, if the
Prophet wants to take her in
marriage. This (ie. marrying
without a dowry) is distinctively
for you, not for the Ummah. We
know what We have fixed for
the Muslims concerning their
wives and the bondswomen they
possess; this is distinctively for
you so that you may not have
any hardship. And Allah is Most
Forgiving, Ever Merciful.
33:51. Keep aside whomsoever
you (O Beloved) wish (of your
wives) from amongst them, and
bring closer to you whomsoever
you wish, And the one you had
set aside, (if) your heart desires
her (you can bring her close);
so, there is no sin upon you in
that also. This matter is best;
that their eyes may get coolness
and they do not grieve. And
whatever you bestow upon
them, all of them should remain
pleased on it. And (O people)
Allah knows what is in the
hearts of all of you; and Allah is
All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
33:52. After them, more women
are not lawful for you, nor this;
that you change them for other
wives instead, even if their
beauty pleases you except the
bondswomen whom you
possess. And Allah is the
Guardian over all things.
33:53. O believers! Do not be
present in the houses of the
Prophet until you get
permission; for instance, when
invited for a meal, not to (come
early and) wait for it to be
cooked. Yes, when you are
invited, then present yourself;
and when you have eaten, so
disperse; not hanging around
taking pleasure in conversation.
Indeed, there used to be harm
to the Prophet in this, so he was
considerate towards you. And
Allah does not hesitate in
proclaiming the truth, and
when you ask them (i.e. the
Wives of the Prophet) for
anything of use, so ask for it
from the outer side of a curtain;
there is more purity in this for
your hearts and for their hearts.
And you have no right to
trouble the Messenger of Allah,
nor ever to marry any of his
wives after him; indeed, that is
a very severe matter according
33:54. Whether you disclose a
thing or keep it hidden; so,
Allah indeed knows everything.
33:55. There is no blame on
them (if the Muslim women
remain partly unveiled eg.
forearms, etc. in front of) their
fathers, or sons, or brothers, or
brother’s sons, or sister’s sons
or women of their own religion,
or their bondswomen. And (O
women) keep fearing Allah;
indeed, everything is in the
presence of Allah.
33:56. Indeed, Allah and His
angels send blessings upon the
Conveyor of the unseen news
(ie. Prophet). O believers! (You
too) send blessings and
abundant salutations upon him.
33:57. Indeed, those who (desire
to) annoy Allah and (annoy)
His Messenger, upon them is
the curse of Allah in the world
and in the Hereafter; and Allah
has kept prepared a disgraceful
punishment for them.
33:58. And whoever pesters
Muslim men and women;
without them having done
anything (wrong), they have
burdened themselves with false
accusation and open sin.
33:59. O Prophet, command
your wives, and your
daughters, and the women of
the Muslims to keep their faces
covered with a part of their
shawls; this is closest that they
are recognised (as_ being
modest); hence, they are not
harassed. And Allah is Most
Forgiving, Ever Merciful.
33:60. If the hypocrites, and
those in whose hearts is a
disease (of indecent desires),
and who circulate lies in
Madinah do not abstain, so We
shall definitely encourage you
(to fight) against them, then
they will not remain with you in
Madinah except for a few days.
33:61. Accursed; wherever they
(i.e. the transgressors) are found,
they should be captured and be
slain one by one.
33:62. The tradition of Allah has
been ongoing among those who
passed before; and you will
never find the traditions of
Allah changing.
33:63. People ask you regarding
the Last Day. Say you (O
Beloved), ‘Its knowledge is only
with Allah (on His own
accord). And what do you
know (on your own accord);
perhaps the Last Day is near.’
33:64. Allah has indeed cursed
the disbelievers and has kept
prepared for them a blazing
Fire.
33:65. They will remain forever
in it; therein they will neither
find a supporter nor any helper.
33:66. On the Day when their
faces will be turned over, again
and again, being fried in the
Fire, they will say, ‘Alas! If only
we had obeyed Allah and
obeyed His Messenger.
33:67. And they will say, ‘0 our
Lord! We _ followed our
(disbelieving) chiefs and our
elders, so they misled us from
the (right) path.’
33:68. ‘O our Lord! Give them
double the punishment of the
fire and send upon them a
mighty curse.’
33:69. O believers! Do not be like
the people who troubled Moosa,
so Allah freed him from that
allegation they had mentioned.
And Moosa is honourable in the
sight of Allah.
33:70. O believers! Fear Allah,
and talk straight.
33:71. He will rectify your
deeds for you and will forgive
your sins. And whosoever
obeys Allah and His Messenger
has indeed achieved a great
success.
33:72. We indeed offered the
trust to the heavens and the
earth and the mountains, but
they refused to bear it and
became afraid of it, and man
bore it. Indeed, he puts himself
into hardship, extremely
unwise.
33:73. In order that Allah may
punish the hypocrite men, and
the hypocrite women, and the
polytheist men, and _ the
polytheist women, and accept
the repentance of the believing
men and the believing women.
And Allah is Most Forgiving,
Ever Merciful.
