YUSUFALI: Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body:

adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths. But Allah
tells (you) the Truth, and He shows the (right) Way.
PICKTHAL: Allah hath not assigned unto any man two hearts within his
body, nor hath He made your wives whom ye declare (to be your mothers) your mothers, nor

mouths. But Allah saith the truth and He showeth the way.
SHAKIR: Allah has not made for any man two hearts within him; nor has He

YUSUFALI: Call them by (the names of) their fathers: that is juster in
the sight of Allah. But if ye know not their father's (names, call them) your Brothers in

counts is) the intention of your hearts: and Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: Proclaim their real parentage. That will be more equitable in
the sight of Allah. And if ye know not their fathers, then (they are) your brethren in the

Forgiving, Merciful.

(of Allah).

his wives are (as) their mothers. And the owners of kinship are closer one to another in

nature).
SHAKIR: The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than they have on
themselves, and his wives are (as) their mothers; and the possessors of relationship have

some good to your friends; this is written in the Book.

PICKTHAL: And when a party of them said: O folk of Yathrib! There is no

who say to their brethren: Come to us; and they come not to the fight but a little,
033.019
YUSUFALI: Covetous over you. Then when fear comes, thou wilt see them
looking to thee, their eyes revolving, like (those of) one over whom hovers death: but
when the fear is past, they will smite you with sharp tongues, covetous of goods. Such men
have no faith, and so Allah has made their deeds of none effect: and that is easy for
Allah.
PICKTHAL: Being sparing of their help to you (believers). But when the
fear cometh, then thou (Muhammad) seest them regarding thee with rolling eyes like one who

033.036
YUSUFALI: It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter
has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if

YUSUFALI: Behold! Thou didst say to one who had received the grace of
Allah and thy favour: "Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah." But
thou didst hide in thy heart that which Allah was about to make manifest: thou didst fear
the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zaid had
dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in
marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the Believers in
(the matter of) marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have
dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command
must be fulfilled.
PICKTHAL: And when thou saidst unto him on whom Allah hath conferred
favour and thou hast conferred favour: Keep thy wife to thyself, and fear Allah. And thou
didst hide in thy mind that which Allah was to bring to light, and thou didst fear mankind
whereas Allah hath a better right that thou shouldst fear Him. So when Zeyd had performed
that necessary formality (of divorce) from her, We gave her unto thee in marriage, so that
(henceforth) there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons,
when the latter have performed the necessary formality (of release) from them. The
commandment of Allah must be fulfilled.
SHAKIR: And when you said to him to whom Allah had shown favor and to
whom you had shown a favor: Keep your wife to yourself and be careful of (your duty to)
Allah; and you concealed in your soul what Allah would bring to light, and you feared men,
and Allah had a greater right that you should fear Him. But when Zaid had accomplished his
want of her, We gave her to you as a wife, so that there should be no difficulty for the
believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished their
want of them; and Allah's command shall be performed.
033.038
YUSUFALI: There can be no difficulty to the Prophet in what Allah has
indicated to him as a duty. It was the practice (approved) of Allah amongst those of old
that have passed away. And the command of Allah is a decree determined.
PICKTHAL: There is no reproach for the Prophet in that which Allah maketh
his due. That was Allah's way with those who passed away of old - and the commandment of
Allah is certain destiny -
SHAKIR: There is no harm in the Prophet doing that which Allah has
ordained for him; such has been the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone
before; and the command of Allah is a decree that is made absolute:
033.039
YUSUFALI: (It is the practice of those) who preach the Messages of Allah,
and fear Him, and fear none but Allah. And enough is Allah to call (men) to account.
PICKTHAL: Who delivered the messages of Allah and feared Him, and feared
none save Allah. Allah keepeth good account.
SHAKIR: Those who deliver the messages of Allah and fear Him, and do not
fear any one but Allah; and Allah is sufficient to take account.

and He has prepared for them an honourable reward.

that giveth light.

light-giving torch.

have from Allah a very great Bounty.
PICKTHAL: And announce unto the believers the good tidings that they will
have great bounty from Allah.
SHAKIR: And give to the believers the good news that they shall have a
great grace from Allah.
033.048
YUSUFALI: And obey not (the behests) of the Unbelievers and the
Hypocrites, and heed not their annoyances, but put thy Trust in Allah. For enough is Allah
as a Disposer of affairs.
PICKTHAL: And incline not to the disbelievers and the hypocrites.
Disregard their noxious talk, and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee.
SHAKIR: And be not compliant to the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and
leave unregarded their annoying talk, and rely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient as a
Protector.
033.049
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! When ye marry believing women, and then
divorce them before ye have touched them, no period of 'Iddat have ye to count in respect
of them: so give them a present. And set them free in a handsome manner.

divorce them before you touch them, you have in their case no term which you should
reckon; so make some provision for them and send them forth a goodly sending forth.

YUSUFALI: O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou
hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of
war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and
daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any
believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;-
this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed
for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that
there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto
whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom
Allah hath given thee as spoils of war, and the daughters of thine uncle on the father's
side and the daughters of thine aunts on the father's side, and the daughters of thine
uncle on the mother's side and the daughters of thine aunts on the mother's side who
emigrated with thee, and a believing woman if she give herself unto the Prophet and the
Prophet desire to ask her in marriage - a privilege for thee only, not for the (rest of)
believers - We are Aware of that which We enjoined upon them concerning their wives and
those whom their right hands possess - that thou mayst be free from blame, for Allah is
ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you
have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah
has given to you as prisoners 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 fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave
herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her-- specially for you, not for
the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and
those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; and Allah
is Forgiving, Merciful.
033.051
YUSUFALI: Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest,
and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest: and there is no blame on thee if thou invite
one whose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to the cooling of their eyes, the
prevention of their grief, and their satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which
thou hast to give them: and Allah knows (all) that is in your hearts: and Allah is
All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
PICKTHAL: Thou canst defer whom thou wilt of them and receive unto thee
whom thou wilt, and whomsoever thou desirest of those whom thou hast set aside
(temporarily), it is no sin for thee (to receive her again); that is better; that they may
be comforted and not grieve, and may all be pleased with what thou givest them. Allah
knoweth what is in your hearts (O men), and Allah is ever Forgiving, Clement.
SHAKIR: You may put off whom you please of them, and you may take to you
whom you please, and whom you desire of those whom you had separated provisionally; no
blame attaches to you; this is most proper, so that their eyes may be cool and they may
not grieve, and that they should be pleased, all of them with what you give them, and
Allah knows what is in your hearts; and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.
033.052
YUSUFALI: It is not lawful for thee (to marry more) women after this, nor
to change them for (other) wives, even though their beauty attract thee, except any thy
right hand should possess (as handmaidens): and Allah doth watch over all things.
PICKTHAL: It is not allowed thee to take (other) women henceforth, nor
that thou shouldst change them for other wives even though their beauty pleased thee, save
those whom thy right hand possesseth. And Allah is ever Watcher over all things.
SHAKIR: It is not allowed to you to take women afterwards, nor that you
should change them for other wives, though their beauty be pleasing to you, except what
your right hand possesses and Allah is Watchful over all things.
033.053
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses,- until leave
is given you,- for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation: but
when ye are invited, enter; and when ye have taken your meal, disperse, without seeking
familiar talk. Such (behaviour) annoys the Prophet: he is ashamed to dismiss you, but
Allah is not ashamed (to tell you) the truth. And when ye ask (his ladies) for anything ye
want, ask them from before a screen: that makes for greater purity for your hearts and for
theirs. Nor is it right for you that ye should annoy Allah's Messenger, or that ye should
marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in Allah's sight an
enormity.
PICKTHAL: O Ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the Prophet for a
meal without waiting for the proper time, unless permission be granted you. But if ye are
invited, enter, and, when your meal is ended, then disperse. Linger not for conversation.
Lo! that would cause annoyance to the Prophet, and he would be shy of (asking) you (to
go); but Allah is not shy of the truth. And when ye ask of them (the wives of the Prophet)
anything, ask it of them from behind a curtain. That is purer for your hearts and for
their hearts. And it is not for you to cause annoyance to the messenger of Allah, nor that
ye should ever marry his wives after him. Lo! that in Allah's sight would be an enormity.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless
permission is given to you for a meal, not waiting for its cooking being finished-- but
when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken the food, then disperse-- not seeking
to listen to talk; surely this gives the Prophet trouble, but he forbears from you, and
Allah does not forbear from the truth And when you ask of them any goods, ask of them from
behind a curtain; this is purer for your hearts and (for) their hearts; and it does not
behove you that you should give trouble to the Messenger of Allah, nor that you should
marry his wives after him ever; surely this is grievous in the sight of Allah.
033.054
YUSUFALI: Whether ye reveal anything or conceal it, verily Allah has full
knowledge of all things.
PICKTHAL: Whether ye divulge a thing or keep it hidden, lo! Allah is ever
Knower of all things.
SHAKIR: If you do a thing openly or do it in secret, then surely Allah is
Cognizant of all things.
033.055
YUSUFALI: There is no blame (on these ladies if they appear) before their
fathers or their sons, their brothers, or their brother's sons, or their sisters' sons, or
their women, or the (slaves) whom their right hands possess. And, (ladies), fear Allah;
for Allah is Witness to all things.
PICKTHAL: It is no sin for them (thy wives) to converse freely) with
their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or the sons of
their sisters or of their own women, or their slaves. O women! Keep your duty to Allah.
Lo! Allah is ever Witness over all things.
SHAKIR: There is no blame on them in respect of their fathers, nor their
brothers, nor their brothers' sons, nor their sisters' sons nor their own women, nor of
what their right hands possess; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is a
witness of all things.
033.056
YUSUFALI: Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that
believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.
PICKTHAL: Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye
who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.
SHAKIR: Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe!
call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation.
033.057
YUSUFALI: Those who annoy Allah and His Messenger - Allah has cursed them
in this World and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating Punishment.
PICKTHAL: Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed
them in the world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained.
SHAKIR: Surely (as for) those who speak evil things of Allah and His
Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and the here after, and He has prepared for
them a chastisement bringing disgrace.
033.058
YUSUFALI: And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear
(on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin.
PICKTHAL: And those who malign believing men and believing women
undeservedly, they bear the guilt of slander and manifest sin.
SHAKIR: And those who speak evil things of the believing men and the
believing women without their having earned (it), they are guilty indeed of a false
accusation and a manifest sin.
033.059
YUSUFALI: O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing
women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that
is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of
the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be
better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of
the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper,
that they may be known, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
033.060
YUSUFALI: Truly, if the Hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a
disease, and those who stir up sedition in the City, desist not, We shall certainly stir
thee up against them: Then will they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbours for any
length of time:
PICKTHAL: If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and
the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then
they will be your neighbours in it but a little while.
SHAKIR: If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the
agitators in the city do not desist, We shall most certainly set you over them, then they
shall not be your neighbors in it but for a little while;
033.061
YUSUFALI: They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they
shall be seized and slain (without mercy).
PICKTHAL: Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a
(fierce) slaughter.
SHAKIR: Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and
murdered, a (horrible) murdering.
033.062
YUSUFALI: (Such was) the practice (approved) of Allah among those who
lived aforetime: No change wilt thou find in the practice (approved) of Allah.
PICKTHAL: That was the way of Allah in the case of those who passed away
of old; thou wilt not find for the way of Allah aught of power to change.
SHAKIR: (Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who
have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.
033.063
YUSUFALI: Men ask thee concerning the Hour: Say, "The knowledge
thereof is with Allah (alone)": and what will make thee understand?- perchance the
Hour is nigh!
PICKTHAL: Men ask thee of the Hour. Say: The knowledge of it is with
Allah only. What can convey (the knowledge) unto thee? It may be that the Hour is nigh.
SHAKIR: Men ask you about the hour; say: The knowledge of it is only with
Allah, and what will make you comprehend that the : hour may be nigh.
033.064
YUSUFALI: Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a
Blazing Fire,-
PICKTHAL: Lo! Allah hath cursed the disbelievers, and hath prepared for
them a flaming fire,
SHAKIR: Surely Allah has cursed the unbelievers and has prepared for them
a burning fire,
033.065
YUSUFALI: To dwell therein for ever: no protector will they find, nor
helper.
PICKTHAL: Wherein they will abide for ever. They will find (then) no
protecting friend nor helper.
SHAKIR: To abide therein for a long time; they shall not find a protector
or a helper.
033.066
YUSUFALI: The Day that their faces will be turned upside down in the
Fire, they will say: "Woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the
Messenger!"
PICKTHAL: On the day when their faces are turned over in the Fire, they
say: Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and had obeyed His messenger!
SHAKIR: On the day when their faces shall be turned back into the fire,
they shall say: O would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!
033.067
YUSUFALI: And they would say: "Our Lord! We obeyed our chiefs and
our great ones, and they misled us as to the (right) Path.
PICKTHAL: And they say: Our Lord! Lo! we obeyed our princes and great
men, and they misled us from the Way.
SHAKIR: And they shall say: O our Lord! surely we obeyed our leaders and
our great men, so they led us astray from the path;
033.068
YUSUFALI: "Our Lord! Give them double Penalty and curse them with a
very great Curse!"
PICKTHAL: Our Lord! Oh, give them double torment and curse them with a
mighty curse.
SHAKIR: O our Lord! give them a double punishment and curse them with a
great curse.
033.069
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Be ye not like those who vexed and insulted
Moses, but Allah cleared him of the (calumnies) they had uttered: and he was honourable in
Allah's sight.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Be not as those who slandered Moses, but
Allah proved his innocence of that which they alleged, and he was well esteemed in Allah's
sight.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! be not like those who spoke evil things of
Musa, but Allah cleared him of what they said, and he was worthy of regard with Allah.
033.070
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and (always) say a word directed
to the Right:
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Guard your duty to Allah, and speak words
straight to the point;
SHAKIR: O you who believe! be careful of(your duty to) Allah and speak
the right word,
033.071
YUSUFALI: That He may make your conduct whole and sound and forgive you
your sins: He that obeys Allah and His Messenger, has already attained the highest
achievement.
PICKTHAL: He will adjust your works for you and will forgive you your
sins. Whosoever obeyeth Allah and His messenger, he verily hath gained a signal victory.
SHAKIR: He will put your deeds into a right state for you, and forgive
you your faults; and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, he indeed achieves a mighty
success.
033.072
YUSUFALI: We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and
the Mountains; but they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook
it;- He was indeed unjust and foolish;-
PICKTHAL: Lo! We offered the trust unto the heavens and the earth and the
hills, but they shrank from bearing it and were afraid of it. And man assumed it. Lo! he
hath proved a tyrant and a fool.
SHAKIR: Surely We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the
mountains, but they refused to be unfaithful to it and feared from it, and man has turned
unfaithful to it; surely he is unjust, ignorant;
033.073
YUSUFALI: (With the result) that Allah has to punish the Hypocrites, men
and women, and the Unbelievers, men and women, and Allah turns in Mercy to the Believers,
men and women: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: So Allah punisheth hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and
idolatrous men and idolatrous women. But Allah pardoneth believing men and believing
women, and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: So Allah will chastise the hypocritical men and the hypocritical
women and the polytheistic men and the polytheistic women, and Allah will turn
(mercifully) to the believing women, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
