Read Surah Al-Ahzab

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِیْ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ اُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَنْ كَانَ یَرْجُوا اللّٰهَ وَ الْیَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَ ذَكَرَ اللّٰهَ كَثِیْرًاؕ۝۲۱

You have indeed a noble paradigm in the Apostle of God for him who fears God and the Day of Resurrection, and remembers God frequently.

وَ لَمَّا رَاَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الْاَحْزَابَ ۙ قَالُوْا هٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗ وَ صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗ ؗ وَ مَا زَادَهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اِیْمَانًا وَّ تَسْلِیْمًاؕ۝۲۲

When the faithful saw (the armies of) the allied tribes, they said: "This is what God and His Apostle had promised us; and God and His Apostle say the truth;" and this enhanced their faith and obedience.

مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوْا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللّٰهَ عَلَیْهِ ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ قَضٰی نَحْبَهٗ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّنْتَظِرُ ۖؗ وَ مَا بَدَّلُوْا تَبْدِیْلًاۙ۝۲۳

There are men among the faithful who have been true to the covenant they had made with God; and some of them fulfilled their vows (by dying in His cause), and some still wait (prepared for death), and stand firm,

لِّیَجْزِیَ اللّٰهُ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَ یُعَذِّبَ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ اِنْ شَآءَ اَوْ یَتُوْبَ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًاۚ۝۲۴

That God may recompense the truthful for their truthfulness, and punish the hypocrites or relent towards them, as He will. God is surely forgiving and kind.

وَ رَدَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِغَیْظِهِمْ لَمْ یَنَالُوْا خَیْرًا ؕ وَ كَفَی اللّٰهُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ الْقِتَالَ ؕ وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ قَوِیًّا عَزِیْزًاۚ۝۲۵

God drove the unbelievers back in their fury, and they gained no advantage. God was sufficient (to help) the believers in the battle. God is all-powerful and all-mighty.

وَ اَنْزَلَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَاهَرُوْهُمْ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ مِنْ صَیَاصِیْهِمْ وَ قَذَفَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ فَرِیْقًا تَقْتُلُوْنَ وَ تَاْسِرُوْنَ فَرِیْقًاۚ۝۲۶

He made those of the people of the Book who had helped (the tribes) descend from their forts, and filled their hearts with dread, so that you killed some and made many captive;

وَ اَوْرَثَكُمْ اَرْضَهُمْ وَ دِیَارَهُمْ وَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ وَ اَرْضًا لَّمْ تَطَـُٔوْهَا ؕ وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرًا۠۝۲۷

And He made you inherit their lands and mansions and wealth, and a country you had not traversed before, for God has power over everything.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ قُلْ لِّاَزْوَاجِكَ اِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا وَ زِیْنَتَهَا فَتَعَالَیْنَ اُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَ اُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِیْلًا۝۲۸

O Prophet, say to your wives: "In case you desire the life and pomp of this world, come, I will provide you handsomely, and let you go with a grace.

وَ اِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ وَ الدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنٰتِ مِنْكُنَّ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًا۝۲۹

But if you desire God, His Apostle, and the joys of life to come, then God has verily set apart for those of you who are good, a great reward."

یٰنِسَآءَ النَّبِیِّ مَنْ یَّاْتِ مِنْكُنَّ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَیِّنَةٍ یُّضٰعَفْ لَهَا الْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَیْنِ ؕ وَ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ یَسِیْرًا۝۳۰

O wives of the Prophet, whosoever of you commits an act of clear shamelessness, her punishment will be doubled. This is how (the innate law of) God works inevitably.
