33:36

And not(it) isfor a believing manand not(for) a believing womanwhenAllah has decidedAllah has decidedand His Messengera matterthat(there) should befor them(any) choiceaboutﱐﱑtheir affairAnd whoeverdisobeysAllahand His Messengercertainlyhe (has) strayed(into) errorclear(36)

It is not for a believing man or woman—when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter.1 Indeed, whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has clearly gone ˹far˺ astray.

33:37

And whenyou saidto the oneAllah bestowed favorAllah bestowed favoron himand you bestowed favoron himKeepto yourselfyour wifeand fearAllahBut you concealedwithinyourselfwhatAllah(was to) discloseAnd you fearthe peoplewhile Allahhas more rightthatﱳﱴyou (should) fear HimSo whenendedZaidfrom hernecessary (formalities)We married her to youso thatnotthere beonﱿthe believersany discomfortconcerningthe wives(of) their adopted sonswhenthey have endedfrom themﲇﲈnecessary (formalities)And is(the) Command(of) Allahaccomplished(37)

And ˹remember, O  Prophet,˺ when you said to the one1 for whom Allah has done a favour and you ˹too˺ have done a favour,2 “Keep your wife and fear Allah,” while concealing within yourself what Allah was going to reveal. And ˹so˺ you were considering the people, whereas Allah was more worthy of your consideration. So when Zaid totally lost interest in ˹keeping˺ his wife, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there would be no blame on the believers for marrying the ex-wives of their adopted sons after their divorce. And Allah’s command is totally binding.

33:38

There is no blame on the Prophet for doing what Allah has ordained for him. That has been the way of Allah with those ˹prophets˺ who had gone before. And Allah’s command has been firmly decreed.

33:39

Those whoconvey(the) Messages(of) Allahand fear Himand (do) notfearanyoneexceptﲰﲱAllahAnd sufficient is AllahAnd sufficient is Allah(as) a Reckoner(39)

˹That is His way with˺ those ˹prophets˺ who deliver the messages of Allah, and consider Him, and none but Allah. And sufficient is Allah as a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner.

33:40

Muḥammad is not the father of any of your men,1 but is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

33:41

He is the One Who showers His blessings upon you—and His angels pray for you—so that He may bring you out of darkness and into light. For He is ever Merciful to the believers.
