Sūra 33: Aḥzāb, or The Confederates

Section 8 (59-68)


59. Ya ayyuha alnnabiyyu qul li-azwajika wabanatika wanisa-i almu/mineena yudneena AAalayhinna min jalabeebihinna thalika adna an yuAArafna fala yu/thayna wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman

59. 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.


60. La-in lam yantahi almunafiqoona waallatheena fee quloobihim maradun waalmurjifoona fee almadeenati lanughriyannaka bihim thumma la yujawiroonaka feeha illa qaleelan

60. 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:


61. MalAAooneena ayna ma thuqifoo okhithoo waquttiloo taqteelan

61. They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain (without mercy).


62. Sunnata Allahi fee allatheena khalaw min qablu walan tajida lisunnati Allahi tabdeelan

62. (Such was) the practice (approved) of Allah among those who lived aforetime: No change wilt thou find in the practice (approved) of Allah.


63. Yas-aluka alnnasu AAani alssaAAati qul innama AAilmuha AAinda Allahi wama yudreeka laAAalla alssaAAata takoonu qareeban

63. 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!


64. Inna Allaha laAAana alkafireena waaAAadda lahum saAAeeran

64. Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire,-


65. Khalideena feeha abadan la yajidoona waliyyan wala naseeran

65. To dwell therein for ever: no protector will they find, nor helper.


66. Yawma tuqallabu wujoohuhum fee alnnari yaqooloona ya laytana ataAAna Allaha waataAAna alrrasoola

66. 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."


67. Waqaloo rabbana inna ataAAna sadatana wakubaraana faadalloona alssabeela

67. And they would say: "Our Lord! We obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us as to the (right) Path.


68. Rabbana atihim diAAfayni mina alAAathabi wailAAanhum laAAnan kabeeran

68. "Our Lord! Give them double Penalty and curse them with a very great Curse!"
