33. Al-Ahzab------The Confederates

33 – 90 – 73 – 9

Al-Ahzab------The Confederates

1 Fear Allah and do not obey the unbelievers and hypocrites. 

By word of mouth neither your wives become your mothers

nor adopted sons become your real sons. 

The Prophet's wives are the believers' mothers.

Blood relations have greater claims than others in the

Book of Allah. 

2 Favors of Allah during the battle of Trench. The attitude of the hypocrites during the battle of Trench. 

Those who discourage others from participating in the fight

against the unbelievers and don't participate in such a war

themselves have no faith and all their deeds will be void.

3 The life of Rasool Allah (Muhammad, pbuh) is the best

model for you. Allah helped the Muslims gain victory over the unbelievers

and the Jewish tribes in Madinah and Khaiber. 

4 Admonition to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). 

Allah's order to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). 

5 It is not fitting for believers to have an option in what has been

decided by Allah and His Rasool. 

Allah commanded the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to marry the

divorced wife of his adopted son Zaid.

Muhammad (pbuh) is not the father of any of your men

but a Rasool and Seal of the Prophethood. 

6 The Prophet is sent as a bearer of good news, a Warner and a

lamp spreading light. 

Divorce when no Iddat (waiting period for remarriage) is

required.

Special permission for the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

to marry more than four wives.

Restriction on the Prophet to marry or divorce one and

marry another after this commandment. 

7 Do not enter the houses of the Prophet without permission,

and if invited, do not seek long conversation.

Do not marry the Rasool's wives after his death.
Allah Himself and His angels send blessings on the Prophet,

O Believers invoke Allah's blessings for him. 

8 Commandment of Hijâb (dress code) for women. Punishment for the Hypocrites and scandal mongers. 

In Hell the unbelievers shall ask double punishment for their leaders. 

9 O Believers! Fear Allah and always say the right thing.

The heavens, earth and mountains refuse to take Allah's

Trust but Man took it.
