Al-Ahzab 33:40

He brought those People of the Book who supported them down from their strongholds and put panic into their hearts. Some of them you [believers] killed and some you took captive

Translation 1260

He passed on to you their land, their houses, their possessions, and a land where you had not set foot: God has power over everything

Translation 1260

Prophet, say to your wives,‘If your desire is for the present life and its finery, then come, I will make provision for you and release you with kindness

Translation 1260

but if you desire God, His Messenger, and the Final Home, then remember that God has prepared great rewards for those of you who do good.’

Translation 1260

Wives of the Prophet, if any of you does something clearly outrageous, she will be doubly punished- that is easy for God

Translation 1260

but if any of you is obedient to God and His Messenger and does good deeds, know that We shall give her a double reward and have prepared a generous provision for her

Translation 1260

Wives of the Prophet, you are not like any other woman. If you are truly mindful of God, do not speak too softly in case the sick at heart should lust after you, but speak in an appropriate manner

Translation 1260

stay at home, and do not flaunt your finery as they used to in the pagan past; keep up the prayer, give the prescribed alms, and obey God and His Messenger. God wishes to keep uncleanness away from you, people of the [Prophet’s] House, and to purify you thoroughly

Translation 1260

Remember what is recited in your houses of God’s revelations and wisdom, for God is all subtle, all aware

Translation 1260

For men and women who are devoted to God- believing men and women, obedient men and women, truthful men and women, steadfast men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, chaste men and women, men and women who remember God often- God has prepared forgiveness and a rich reward

Translation 1260

When God and His Messenger have decided on a matter that concerns them, it is not fitting for any believing man or woman to claim freedom of choice in that matter: whoever disobeys God and His Messenger is far astray

Translation 1260

When you [Prophet] said to the man who had been favoured by God and by you, ‘Keep your wife and be mindful of God,’ you hid in your heart what God would later reveal: you were afraid of people, but it is more fitting that you fear God. When Zayd no longer wanted her, We gave her to you in marriage so that there might be no fault in believers marrying the wives of their adopted sons after they no longer wanted them. God’s command must be carried out

Translation 1260

the Prophet is not at fault for what God has ordained for him. This was God’s practice with those who went before- God’s command must be fulfilled

Translation 1260

[and with all] those who deliver God’s messages and fear only Him and no other: God’s reckoning is enough

Translation 1260

Muhammad is not the father of any one of you men; he is God’s Messenger and the seal of the prophets: God knows everything

Translation 1260

Believers, remember God often

Translation 1260

and glorify Him morning and evening

Translation 1260

it is He who blesses you, as do His angels, in order to lead you out of the depths of darkness into the light. He is ever merciful towards the believers

Translation 1260

when they meet Him they will be greeted with ‘Peace’- and He has prepared a generous reward for them

Translation 1260

Prophet, We have sent you as a witness, as a bearer of good news and warning

Translation 1260

as one who calls people to God by His leave, as a light-giving lamp

Translation 1260

Give the believers the good news that great bounty awaits them from God

Translation 1260

Do not give in to the disbelievers and the hypocrites: ignore the harm they cause you and put your trust in God. God is enough to trust

Translation 1260

Believers, you have no right to expect a waiting period when you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them: make provision for them and release them in an honourable way

Translation 1260

Prophet, We have made lawful for you the wives whose bride gift you have paid, and any slaves God has assigned to you through war, and the daughters of your uncles and aunts on your father’s and mother’s sides, who migrated with you. Also any believing woman who has offered herself to the Prophet and whom the Prophet wishes to wed- this is only for you [Prophet] and not the rest of the believers: We know exactly what We have made obligatory for them concerning their wives and slave-girls- so you should not be blamed: God is most forgiving, most merciful
