Surah Al-'Aĥzāb (The Combined Forces) in English

1. تحيتهم يوم يلقونه سلام وأعد لهم أجرا كريما

   44

   The day they encounter Him, their greeting will be, ‘Peace,’ and He holds in store for them a noble reward.

   taḥiyyatuhum yawma yalqawnahū salāmun wa-ʾaʿadda lahum ʾajran karīman

2. يا أيها النبي إنا أرسلناك شاهدا ومبشرا ونذيرا

   45

   O Prophet! Indeed We have sent you as a witness, as a bearer of good news and as a warner

   yā-ʾayyuhā n-nabiyyu ʾinnā ʾarsalnāka shāhidan wa-mubashshiran wa-nadhīran

3. وداعيا إلى الله بإذنه وسراجا منيرا

   46

   and as a summoner to Allah by His permission, and as a radiant lamp.

   wa-dāʿiyan ʾilā llāhi bi-ʾidhnihī wa-sirājan munīran

4. وبشر المؤمنين بأن لهم من الله فضلا كبيرا

   47

   Announce to the faithful the good news that there will be for them a great grace from Allah.

   wa-bashshiri l-muʾminīna bi-ʾanna lahum mina llāhi faḍlan kabīran

5. ولا تطع الكافرين والمنافقين ودع أذاهم وتوكل على الله وكفى بالله وكيلا

   48

   Do not obey the faithless and the hypocrites, and disregard their torments, and put your trust in Allah, and Allah suffices as trustee.

   wa-lā tuṭiʿi l-kāfirīna wa-l-munāfiqīna wa-daʿ ʾadhāhum wa-tawakkal ʿalā llāhi wa-kafā bi-llāhi wakīlan

6. يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا نكحتم المؤمنات ثم طلقتموهن من قبل أن تمسوهن فما لكم عليهن من عدة تعتدونها فمتعوهن وسرحوهن سراحا جميلا

   49

   O you who have faith! When you marry faithful women and then divorce them before you touch them, there shall be no period for you to reckon. But provide for them and release them in a graceful manner.

   yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū ʾidhā nakaḥtumu l-muʾmināti thumma ṭallaqtumūhunna min qabli ʾan tamassūhunna fa-mā lakum ʿalayhinna min ʿiddatin taʿtaddūnahā fa-mattiʿūhunna wa-sarriḥūhunna sarāḥan jamīlan

7. يا أيها النبي إنا أحللنا لك أزواجك اللاتي آتيت أجورهن وما ملكت يمينك مما أفاء الله عليك وبنات عمك وبنات عماتك وبنات خالك وبنات خالاتك اللاتي هاجرن معك وامرأة مؤمنة إن وهبت نفسها للنبي إن أراد النبي أن يستنكحها خالصة لك من دون المؤمنين قد علمنا ما فرضنا عليهم في أزواجهم وما ملكت أيمانهم لكيلا يكون عليك حرج وكان الله غفورا رحيما

   O Prophet! Indeed We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand owns, of those whom Allah gave you as spoils of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncle, and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncle, and the daughters of your maternal aunts who migrated with you, and a faithful woman if she offers herself to the Prophet and the Prophet desires to take her in marriage (a privilege exclusively for you, not for [the rest of] the faithful; We know what We have made lawful for them with respect to their wives and those whom their right hands own, so that there may be no blame on you ), and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
