• 33:1

  يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ ٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

  O Nabi ﷺ! Fear Allaah (at all times) and do not follow (the instructions of) the Kuffaar and the Munaafiqeen. Undoubtedly Allaah is ever the All Knowing, the Wise.

• 33:2

  وَٱتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

  (Instead of following their instructions), Follow what has been revealed to you from your Rabb. Allaah is Ever Informed about what you do (so you can do nothing but what He commands).

• 33:3

  وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلًا

  Rely only on Allaah (for assistance and to fulfil all your needs). Allaah is sufficient as a Helper (with Him, you need no one else).

• 33:4

  مَّا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِّن قَلْبَيْنِ فِى جَوْفِهِۦ ۚ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَزْوَٰجَكُمُ ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى تُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ ۚ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَدْعِيَآءَكُمْ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُم بِأَفْوَٰهِكُمْ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَقُولُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِى ٱلسَّبِيلَ

  Allaah has not placed two hearts within any man's chest (contrary to what the Mushrikeen of Makkah thought about a person whom they claimed had two hearts because of his intelligence), nor has He made your wives, with whom you practise "Zihaar," your mothers (an evil practice by which you consider your wives to be your mothers and you deny them their conjugal rights). Allaah has also not made your adopted sons your own sons. This (practice of referring to them as your own sons and giving them your name) is merely a statement from your lips (which does not change the fact that they have different fathers). Allaah speaks the truth and only He guides to the straight path.

• 33:5

  ٱدْعُوهُمْ لِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَمَوَٰلِيكُمْ ۚ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَآ أَخْطَأْتُم بِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

  Call them (your adopted children) by (the names of) their fathers. This is more just in the sight of your Rabb. If you do not know (who) their fathers (are), then they are your brothers in religion and your friends (and will still not become your real sons). There shall be no blame (sin) on you with regard to the errors you make (such as unintentionally referring to your adopted children as your own), but (you shall be sinful) only for what your hearts purposely intend (such as purposely violating Allaah's command and referring to them as your own children). Allaah is ever the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful (and forgives acts done in error or forgetfulness).

• 33:6

  ٱلنَّبِىُّ أَوْلَىٰ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُۥٓ أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمْ ۗ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِبَعْضٍ فِى كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُهَـٰجِرِينَ إِلَّآ أَن تَفْعَلُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَوْلِيَآئِكُم مَّعْرُوفًا ۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مَسْطُورًا

  The Nabi ﷺ has a greater relationship (of love) with the Mu'mineen than even their own selves, and his wives are their mothers (and therefore none may marry them even after his demise. As one's own mother, they deserve utmost respect from all Muslims). In Allaah's Book (the "Lowhul Mahfoodh"), relatives are closer to each other (and therefore have a greater right of inheriting from each other) than the (other) Mu'mineen (who are not related) and the Muhaajireen, (they will not receive any portion of your estate as inheritance) unless you wish to do a good turn to your (unrelated Mu'mineen or Muhaajireen) friends (in which case you may bequeath a maximum of one third of your estate to them). This (injunction) has been documented in the Book (the "Lowhul Mahfoodh").

• 33:7

  وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِيثَـٰقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ ۖ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَـٰقًا غَلِيظًا

  (Call to mind the time) When We took the pledge from the Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام from you (O Muhammad ﷺ), Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام, Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام, Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام and Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام, the son of Maryam (all the Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام pledged to worship only Allaah and to pass Allaah's message on to the people). We took a solemn pledge from them all...
