THE ARMIES OF ENEMIES (
Al – Ahzab )
|
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
|
1.
O prophet! fear Allah and do not obey the infidels and the hypocrites,
Allah is certainly Knowing, Wise. |
2. And follow that which is communicated to you from your Fosterer, Allah is certainly informed of what you do. |
3.
And put your trust in Allah and Allah is sufficient as a Trustee. |
4.
Allah has not made for any man two hearts inside him, and He has not made
your wives, whom you orally declare to be your mothers, your (real) mothers,
and He has not made, those whom you adopt as sons, your (real) sons. Those
are (just) statements from your mouths and Allah speaks the truth and
He guides to the (right) way. |
5.
Call them by their father’s (name), that will be more just with Allah,
but if you do not know their father, then they are your brothers in religion
and your friends. And there is no sin on you in that which you did by
mistake in that (affair), but that which your hearts do intentionally
(is accountable), and Allah is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful. |
6.
The prophet is closer to the believers than their ownselves, and his wives
are (closer than) their mothers. And the Possessors of relationship are
closer, one to another in the decree of Allah, than the believers and
the immigrants, except that you do (some) recognized (good) to your friends,
that is written in the book. |
7.
And when We took their pledge from the prophets and from you and from
Nuh and Ibrahim and Musa and Isa the son of Maryam and We took a firm
pledge from them, |
8.
that He may ask the truthful about their truth; and He has prepared a
painful punishment for the infidels. (R 1) |
9.
O you who believe! remember Allah’s favor on you when the armies came
(against) you (at the battle of trench) {1},
and We sent against them wind and forces which you did not see while Allah
is a Seer of that which you do, |
10.
when they came to you from above you and from below you and when your
eyes deviated (from their normal looks) and the hearts reached the throats
and you (started) guessing about Allah, guesses, |
11.
there the believers were tested and shaken with a severe shaking, |
12.
and when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was a disease said,
“That which Allah and His messenger promised us is nothing but deception,” |
13.
and when a group from among them said, “O people of Yasrib (Madina) !
you have no stand, so return,” and a party from among them sought permission
of the prophet, saying, “Our houses are certainly exposed,” when they
were not exposed, they intended nothing but to run away. |
14.
And had (the enemy) entered upon them from all sides (of the city and)
then (if) persecution was demanded from them, they would have dome it
(against you) and (in that case) they would not have been allowed to stay
in it but for a short while, |
15.
they had indeed made an agreement with Allah earlier, that they would
not turn their backs, and (they) will be questioned regarding (the fulfillment
of their) agreement with Allah. |
16.
“Your running away will never benefit you if you are running away from
death or murder, and in that case you are not allowed to enjoy but a little,”
(because ultimately you have to die). |
17.
Say, “Who is it that can protect you from Allah if He intends evil for
you or He intends mercy for you.” And they will not find for themselves,
any guardian or helper besides Allah. |
18.
Allah indeed knows those among you who stop (others) and those who stop
to their brothers, “Come to us,” and they do not come to fight but a little, |
19.
being selfish with respect to you. So when the fear comes, you see them
looking at you with their eyes rolling like one under the cover of death,
then when the fear goes away, they meet you with sharp tongues, being
selfish for good things. Those are the persons who have not believed so
Allah has made their deeds fruitless, and that is easy for Allah. |
20.
They think that the armies of enemies have not gone away. And if the armies
of enemies should come (again) they would love to be (away) in the desert
among the desert Arabs, asking for news about you, and had they been among
you they would not have fought, except a little. (R 2) |
21.
In the messenger of Allah, there is indeed a good example for you to follow,
for him who expects (to meet) Allah and (the coming of) the period hereafter
and remembers Allah much. |
22.
And when the believers saw the armies of enemies, they said, “This is
what Allah and His messenger promised us and Allah and His messenger spoke
the truth.” And nothing increased in them except belief and submission. |
23.
Among the believers are men who are true to the agreement which they made
with Allah, so among them is he who has fulfilled his vow and among them
is he who waits, and they have not changed (by) changing (themselves), |
24.
therefore Allah will reward the truthful for their truth and punish the
hypocrites, if He wills, or turn to them (mercifully). Allah is certainly
Protectively Forgiving, Merciful. |
25.
And those who did not believe were turned back by Allah in their anger,
they did not attain any good, and Allah was sufficient for the believers
in the fighting, and Allah is certainly Strong, Mighty. |
26.
And He brought down those from among the owners of the book who helped
the (enemies), from their fortresses, and He cast terror into their hearts,
a party (of them) you killed and a party you took as prisoners. |
27.
And He made you heirs of their land and their houses and their wealth
and the land on which you had not (even) put your feet (earlier), and
Allah has power over everything. (R 3) |
28.
O prophet! say to your wives, “ If you intend (to seek the benefits of)
the life of this world and its pomp, then come I will provide for you
and let you go a good going away,” |
29.
but if you intend (to seek) Allah and His messenger and the home of the
hereafter, then Allah has certainly prepared a great reward for those
who are doers of good among you.” |
30.
O wives of the prophet! whoever among you comes with an open indecency,
the punishment will be increased for her (by) doubling (it), and that
is easy for Allah. ( P 21 ) |
31.
And she among you who is obedient to Allah and His messenger and does
righteous work, We will give her twice her reward and We have prepared
for her an honored provision. |
32.
O wives of the prophet! you are not like any other of the women. If you
(wish to) guard (against evil), then do not be soft in your speech (when
you talk to other men), lest he in whose heart is a disease, (misunderstandingly)
hope, but speak (in) words recognized (as good). |
33.
And stay in your houses and do not expose yourselves (in the manner of
the) exposition of the earlier days of ignorance (before Islam), and establish
worship (salat) and give charity (zakat) and obey Allah and His messenger.
Allah only intends to remove the uncleanliness from you, O people of the
house, and clean you (with a good) cleaning. |
34.
And remember that which is recited in your houses of the signs of Allah
and the wisdom (its explanation by the messenger of Allah). Allah is certainly
Subtilety Informed. (R 4) |
35.
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 men who give charity and the
women who give charity, and the men who fast and the women who fast and
the chaste men and the chaste women and the men who remember Allah much
and the women who remember; Allah is certainly (ready for their) protective
forgiveness and has prepared a great reward for them. |
36.
It does not befit a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and
His messenger have decided an affair, to have for themselves any choice in their affair, and he who disobeys Allah and His messenger,
has indeed gone astray (into) clear error. |
37.
And when you said to him (Zaid) whom Allah had favored and whom you (too)
had favored, “Retain your wife with you and fear Allah.” And you kept
secret in your soul that which Allah was to expose and you did fear human
beings while Allah has the greater right that you should fear Him. Then,
when Zaid fulfilled the necessary (formalities) of (divorcing) her, We
joined her to you in marriage, so that there should be no blame on the
believers in marrying the wives of their adopted sons, when they fulfill
the necessary (formalities) of (divorcing) them, and the order of Allah
was to be executed. |
38.
And there is no blame on the prophet in (doing) that which Allah has appointed
for him. (That was) Allah’s procedure with those who passed away earlier.
And the order of Allah is destiny destined. |
39.
Those who convey the messages of Allah and fear Him, they fear none except
Allah. And Allah is sufficient to take account. |
40.
Muhammed is not the father of any of your men but he is the messenger
of Allah and the seal (last) of the prophets {2},
and Allah is the Knower of everything. (R 5) |
41.
O you who believe! remember Allah, remembering Him much |
42.
and glorify Him morning and evening. |
43.
He it is Who showers His mercy on you and (also) His angles, so as to
bring you out of darkness towards light, and He is merciful to the believers. |
44.
Their greeting on the day they meet Him will be “Peace,” and He has prepared
an honorable reward for them. |
45.
O prophet! We have certainly sent you as a witness and a conveyer of good
news and a warner, |
46.
and an inviter towards Allah by His permission, and a lamp giving light. |
47.
And convey good news to the believers that they will have great grace
from Allah. |
48.
And do not obey the infidels and the hypocrites and disregard their annoyances,
and put your trust in Allah, and Allah is sufficient as a Trustee. |
49.
O you who believe! when you marry believing women then divorce them before
having touched them, then it is not incumbent on you to count for them
the period of (waiting for the next marriage), so provide for them and
let them go a good going away. |
50.
O prophet! We have certainly made lawful to you your wives to whom you
have given their dowries and those whom your right hand possesses from
among the prisoners of war whom Allah has given to you, 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 a believing woman if she gave herself to the
prophet, if the prophet (too) intends (to seek) her in marriage, exclusively
for you not for the (other) believers, We know what We have appointed
for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess,
(this is clarified so) that there should not be any blame on you, and
Allah is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful. |
51.
You may differ (to invite) whom you will from among them, and you may
invite to you whom you will, and there is no sin on you, if you seek (one)
of those whom you had (temporarily) set aside (for inviting in future),
that is nearer for (providing them with) comfort of their eyes and that
they may not grieve and be pleased with that which you give to each one
of them; and Allah knows that which is in your hearts and Allah is Knowing,
Clement (Kind). |
52.
Women beyond these are not lawful for you, nor (is it lawful) that you
should change them for other wives, even if their beauty pleased you,
except those whom your right hand possesses, and Allah is Vigilant over
everything. (R 6) |
53.
O you who believe! do not enter the houses of the prophet unless permission
is given to you, do not wait for a meal (inside the house) till the time
it is cooked, but enter when you are invited and when you have (finished)
taking the meal then disperse and do not seek to get involved in conversation,
that certainly annoys the prophet but he feels shy of you (to ask you
to go) while Allah does not feel shy of the truth. And when you ask the
(ladies) for anything, then ask them from behind a curtain, that is cleaner
for your hearts and their hearts. And it does not befit you to annoy the
messenger of Allah, nor is it (permissible to you) that you should ever
marry his wives after him, that is certainly a great (sin) in the sight
of Allah. |
54.
Whether you make anything manifest or keep it a secret, Allah is certainly
the Knower of everything. |
55.
It is no sin for the ladies( to move freely) among their fathers or their
sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons
or their own women or whom their right hands possess, but fear Allah,
Allah is certainly a Witness over everything. |
56.
Allah and His angels certainly shower mercy on the prophet, O you who
believe! you (too) submissively ask for mercy and peace (to be showered)
on him. |
57.
Those who annoy Allah and His messenger, Allah has certainly cursed them
in the world and the hereafter and He has prepared a disgraceful punishment
for them. |
58.
And those who annoy the believing men and the believing women without
their having earned (it), then they indeed bear (the burden of) a false
charge and a clear sin. (R 7) |
59.
O prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women among the
believers to draw close over themselves (something in the form) of their
over garments, that will be better for their being recognized so that
they may not be annoyed, and Allah is Protectively, Forgiving, Merciful. |
60.
If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and those who
spread rumors in the city do not desist, We will definitely make you to
be after them, then they will not be your neighbours in it, except (for)
a little while, |
61.
accursed, wherever they are found they will be caught and killed by being
murdered. |
62.
That was the procedure of Allah in (the case of) those who passed away
earlier, and you will never find a change in the procedure of Allah. (
P 21 ¼ ) |
63.
People ask you about the hour of doom, say, “The knowledge about it is
only with Allah, and what will make you understand, perhaps the hour of
doom is near.” |
64.
Allah has certainly cursed the infidels and has prepared a blazing fire
for them, |
65.
in which they will remain for ever. They will find neither a guardian
nor a helper. |
66.
The day their faces will be turned in the fire, they will say, “O would
that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the messenger.” |
67.
And they will say, “Our Fosterer! We certainly obeyed our leaders and
our great men so they misled us from the way. |
68.
Our Fosterer! give them double the punishment and curse them with a great
curse.” (R 8) |
69.
O you who believe! do not be like those who annoyed Musa, so Allah made
him free from that which they said, and he was honorable in the sight
of Allah. |
70.
O you who believe! fear Allah and make statements to the point. |
71.
He will set right for you your deeds and protectively forgive you your
sins, and he who obeys Allah and His messenger, he indeed has achieved
a great achievement. |
72.
We certainly offered the trust (probably the power of decision to obey
or not to obey the orders of Allah) to the skies and the earth and the
mountains, but they refused to bear it and became afraid of it, and man
(undertook the responsibility of) bearing it (but) he was certainly unjust,
ignorant, |
73.
so Allah will punish the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women and the
polytheist men and the polytheist women, and Allah will turn (mercifully)
to the believing men and the believing women and Allah is Protectively
Forgiving, Merciful. (R 9) |
