Chapter 33 Al-Aḥzāb: The Allies

1 O Prophet, keep thy duty to Allāh and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Surely Allāh is ever Knowing, Wise;

2 And follow that which is revealed to thee from thy Lord. Surely Allāh is ever Aware of what you do;

3 And trust in Allāh. And Allāh is enough as having charge (of affairs).

4 Allāh has not made for any man two hearts within him; nor has He made your wives whom you desert by Ẓihār, your mothers, nor has He made those whom you assert (to be your sons) your sons. These are the words of your mouths. And Allāh speaks the truth and He shows the way.

5 Call them by (the names of) their fathers; this is more equitable with Allāh; but if you know not their fathers, then they are your brethren in faith and your friends. And there is no blame on you in that wherein you make a mistake, but (you are answerable for) that which your hearts purpose. And Allāh is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

6 The Prophet is closer to the faithful than their own selves, and his wives are (as) their mothers. And the possessors of relationship are closer one to another in the ordinance of Allāh than (other) believers, and those who fled (their homes), except that you do some good to your friends. This is written in the Book.

7 And when We took a covenant from the prophets and from thee, and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, son of Mary, and We took from them a solemn covenant,

8 That He may question the truthful of their truth, and He has prepared for the disbelievers a painful chastisement.

9 O you who believe, call to mind the favour of Allāh to you when there came against you hosts, so We sent against them a strong wind and hosts that you saw not. And Allāh is ever Seer of what you do.

10 When they came upon you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes turned dull and the hearts rose up to the throats, and you began to think diverse thoughts about Allāh.
