33:1  Prophet, be cautious of God and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed God is knowledgeable and wise.

33:2  And follow what is revealed to you from your Master. Indeed God is well informed of what you do

33:3  And put your trust in God, and God is enough as an advocate

33:4  God did not give any man two hearts inside of him, and He did not make your wives, those you divorce by declaring them as your mother’s back, your mothers. And He did not make your adopted sons, your sons. That is only your words of your mouths, but God speaks the truth and He guides to the (right) way

33:5  Call them by their father’s (name), it is more just before God. And if you do not know their fathers, then they are your brothers in the religion and your friends. And there is no blame on you about what you made a mistake in it, but (you are responsible) for what your hearts intended (and you did intentionally). God is forgiving and kind

33:6  The prophet is more entitled to the believers than themselves, and his wives are (like) their mothers. And in God’s book, blood relatives (and close relatives) are more entitled to (inherit from) each other than the believers and the migrants unless you (want to) do some good to your friends. This is written in the book

33:7  And (remember) when We took from the prophets their commitment, and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus son of Mary, and We took a firm commitment from them.

33:8  So that He questions the truthful ones about their truthfulness, and He has prepared a painful punishment for the disbelievers

33:9  You who believe, remember God’s favor to you when troops came to you (and attacked you), so We sent a wind and troops against them that you did not see them. And God sees what you do

33:10  When they came to you (and attacked) from above you and from below you, and when the eyes turned aside (in fear) and the hearts reached up to the throats and you thought of God doubtfully

33:11  It was then that the believers were tested, and they were shaken, a strong shake

33:12  And (remember) when hypocrites and those who had a disease in their hearts said: God and His messenger did not promise us except a delusion

33:13  And (remember) when a group of them said: people of Yathreb (Medina), there is no place for you, so return. And a part of them asked permission from the prophet, saying: our homes are unprotected (and defenseless). While they were not unprotected, they only wanted to run away

33:14  And if they (the enemy) had entered upon them from its boroughs and they were asked for the disloyalty, they would have certainly done it, and they would have only hesitated a little

33:15  And they had certainly promised God in the past that they would not turn their backs (and run away). And promise to God is questioned (and is a responsibility)

33:16  Say: the escape would never benefit you if you escape from the death or the killing, and even then you only enjoy for a little while

33:17  Say: who is the one defending you against God if He wants harm for you or if He wants mercy for you? And they will not find any protector and no helper for them besides God

33:18  God also knows those holding others back among you, and those who say to their brothers: come to us. And only a few of them come to the battle

33:19  Covetous (and stingy) toward you, and when fear comes, you see them looking at you rolling their eyes like someone who faints because of the death , and when the fear goes away, they are going to slash you with the sharp tongues being covetous of the good (that comes to you). They did not believe, therefore God made their works useless, and that is easy for God

33:20  They think that the coalition forces did not go away, and if the coalition forces come they wish they were nomads among the desert Arabs asking about your news, and if they were among you, they would have fought a little

33:21  There has certainly been a good example in God's messenger for you and for anyone who hopes for God and the last day and remembers God often

33:22  And when the believers saw the coalition forces they said: this is what God and His messenger promised us, and God and His messenger told the truth. And it only increased their belief and their submission

33:23  There are men among the believers who were true to what they promised it to God, and some of them fulfilled their vows (and died) and some of them are waiting, and they did not change (their promise) by any changes

33:24  So that God rewards the truthful for their truth, and punishes the hypocrites if He wants, or turns to them (in mercy). Indeed God is forgiving and merciful

33:25  And God turned back those who disbelieved, in their rage and they did not gain any good. And God spared the believers of the fight. God is strong and powerful

33:26  And God brought down those among the people of the book who supported them (the coalition forces) from their fortresses, and He threw horror in their hearts, (so that) you kill a part of them and you capture a part of them

33:27  And He made you inherit their land and their houses and their possessions and a land that you did not yet set foot on it. And God is capable of everything

33:28  Prophet, say to your wives: if you want this world’s life and its decoration (and luxuries), then come, I compensate you and I let you go free (and divorce you), a nice leaving

33:29  And if you want God and His messenger and the home of the hereafter, then indeed God has prepared a great reward for the good doers among you

33:30  Wives of the prophet, anyone among you who commits an obvious indecency, the punishment is multiplied for her twofold. And that is easy for God

33:31  And anyone among you who is obedient to God and His messenger and does good works, We give her twice her reward, and We have prepared a noble provision for her.

33:32  Wives of the prophet, you are not like anyone of the women. If you are cautious (of God), then do not be soft in the speech so the one who has a disease in his heart does not desire (you), and speak in proper word (and manner)

33:33  And stay in your houses and do not display your beauties like displaying in the old days of ignorance, and perform the mandatory prayer and give to the mandatory charity and obey God and His messenger. God only wants to remove the filth from you, people of the household (of the prophet), and to cleanse you, a total cleansing

33:34  And remember what is read to you in your houses from God’s signs (verses) and the wisdom. Indeed God is nice and well informed

33:35  Indeed the submitted men and the submitted 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 persevering men and the persevering 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 guarding their private parts and the women guarding (theirs), and the men remembering God often and the women remembering (Him often), God has prepared forgiveness and a great reward for them

33:36  It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, that when God and His messenger decided on a matter, to have a choice in their matter. And whoever disobeys God and His messenger has certainly erred, an obvious error

33:37  And (remember) when you said to the one whom God favored upon him and you favored upon him: keep your wife for yourself, and be cautious of God. And you hid in yourself what God was to disclose it. And you feared people, while God is more deserving that you fear Him. So when Zaid finished with her (and divorced her), We married her to you so that there would be no difficulty for the believers about (marrying) wives of their adopted sons when they are finished with them (and have divorced them). And God’s command is to be done

33:38  There is no difficulty on the prophet about (doing) what God mandated to him. This is God’s way about those who passed away in the past. And God’s command is a mandated destiny

33:39  Those who preach God’s message and fear Him and do not fear anyone except God, (they know that) God is enough for accounting

33:40  Muhammad is not father of any of your men, but (he is) God’s messenger and the seal (and the last) of the prophets. And God knows everything.

33:41  You who believe, remember God, remembering ofte

33:42  and glorify Him morning and afternoon

33:43  He is the One who sends blessings to you and (so do) His angles to bring you out of the darkness to the light. And He is merciful to the believers

33:44  Their greeting on a day that they meet Him is: peace (and well-being). And He has prepared a noble (and generous) reward for them

33:45  Prophet, We sent you as a witness and a giver of good news and a warner

33:46  and a caller toward God by His permission, and as a shining lamp

33:47  And give good news to the believers that they have a great bounty from God

33:48  And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites and disregard their harassment and put your trust in God. God is enough as an advocate

33:49  You who believe, when you marry the believing women and then divorce them before you touch them, then they are not responsible for any waiting period for you that you count it, so compensate them and let them go free, a nice leaving

33:50  Prophet, We made lawful for you, your wives that you gave them their compensations (marriage portions), and those whom your right hand owns (slaves) from what God gave you as spoil, and daughters of your paternal uncle (your father’s brother), and daughters of your paternal aunts (your father’s sister), and daughters of your maternal uncles (your mother’s brother), and daughters of your maternal aunts (your mother’s sister) who migrated with you, and a believing woman who gives herself to the prophet (without asking for marriage portion) if the prophet wants to marry her, this (last group) is only for you and not the other believers. We also know what We mandated to them (the believers) regarding their wives and those whom their right hands own, so that there would be no difficulty (or blame) on you. And God is forgiving and merciful

33:51  You may put off anyone of them (your wives) you want, and take to yourself anyone you want. And there is no blame on you to desire anyone of those whom you set aside. That is more likely to delight their eyes and that they do not be sad and be pleased with what you give all of them. And God knows what is in your hearts. And God is knowledgeable and patient

33:52  Women are not lawful for you from now on, and neither is exchanging them for other wives, even though their beauty impresses you, except those your right hand owns. God is watchful over everything

33:53  You who believe, do not enter the prophet’s houses unless permission is given to you for a meal without waiting for its preparation. But when you are invited then enter, and when you ate then disperse and do not look for staying for a conversation. Indeed that is annoying the prophet, but he is shy from you, but God is not shy about the truth. And when you ask them (prophet’s wives) for anything, then ask them from behind a curtain (or a partition). That is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not for you to annoy God’s messenger, and do not ever marry his wives after him, indeed that is awful in God's sight.

33:54  If you disclose anything or hide it, indeed God is knowledgeable about everything

33:55  There is no blame on them about their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their brother’s son or their sister’s sons or their women, or those whom their right hands own. And (you, wives of the prophet) be cautious of God, for God is witness over everything

33:56  God and His angels send blessings to the prophet. You who believe, send blessings to him and great him, a respectful greeting (or submit to his instructions, completely)

33:57  Indeed those who harass God and His messenger, God curses them in this world and the hereafter and He has prepared a humiliating punishment for them

33:58  And those who harass the believing men and the believing women for other than what they did, then they have carried (the guilt of) a false accusation and an obvious sin

33:59  Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and women of the believers to draw their outer garment near over themselves. That is more likely that they are recognized and are not harassed. And God is forgiving and merciful

33:60  If the hypocrite and those who have a disease in their hearts and those who spread false rumors in the city do not stop, We shall provoke you against them, then they will only be your neighbors in there for a short while

33:61  They are cursed, and wherever they are found they are taken and they are killed

33:62  God’s way about those who passed away in the past. And you never find any change in God’s way

33:63  People ask you about the hour, say: its knowledge is only with God. And how would you know, the hour may be near

33:64  Indeed God cursed the disbelievers and has prepared a burning fire for them

33:65  remaining in there forever and ever, and they do not find any protector or any helper

33:66  In a day that their faces are turned over in the fire, they say: we wish we had obeyed God and obeyed the messenger.

33:67  And they say: our Master, we obeyed our leaders and our elders (and great ones), and they misled us from the way

33:68  Our Master, give them double the punishment and curse them, a great curse

33:69  You who believe, do not be like those who harassed Moses, then God cleared him of what they said, and he is respected before God

33:70  You who believe, be cautious of God and say right (and appropriate) word

33:71  so He corrects (and improves) you works for you, and to forgive your sins for you. And whoever obeys God and His messenger then he has achieved a great victory

33:72  Indeed We offered the trust to the skies and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to undertake it and they were afraid of it, but the human being undertook it. Indeed he is wrongdoer and ignorant

33:73  So that God punishes the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, and the polytheist men and the polytheist women, and He turns (in mercy) to the believing men and the believing women. And God is forgiving and merciful
