praises of their Lord, nor are they (ever) puffed up with pride.
032.016 Their limbs do forsake their beds of sleep, the while they call on their Lord, in Fear and Hope: and they spend
(in charity) out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them.
032.017 Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them - as a reward for their
(good) deeds.
032.018 Is then the man who believes no better than the man who is rebellious and wicked? Not equal are they.
032.019 For those who believe and do righteous deeds are Gardens as hospitable homes, for their (good) deeds.
032.020 As to those who are rebellious and wicked, their abode will be the Fire: every time they wish to get away
therefrom, they will be forced thereinto, and it will be said to them: "Taste ye the Penalty of the Fire, the which ye were
wont to reject as false."
032.021 And indeed We will make them taste of the Penalty of this (life) prior to the supreme Penalty, in order that
they may (repent and) return.
032.022 And who does more wrong than one to whom are recited the Signs of his Lord, and who then turns away
therefrom? Verily from those who transgress We shall exact (due) Retribution.
032.023 We did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: be not then in doubt of its reaching (thee): and We made
it a guide to the Children of Israel.
032.024 And We appointed, from among them, leaders, giving guidance under Our command, so long as they
persevered with patience and continued to have faith in Our Signs.
032.025 Verily thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment, in the matters wherein they differ (among
themselves)
032.026 Does it not teach them a lesson, how many generations We destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they
(now) go to and fro? Verily in that are Signs: Do they not then listen?
032.027 And do they not see that We do drive rain to parched soil (bare of herbage), and produce therewith crops,
providing food for their cattle and themselves? Have they not the vision?
032.028 They say: "When will this decision be, if ye are telling the truth?"
032.029 Say: "On the Day of Decision, no profit will it be to Unbelievers if they (then) believe! nor will they be
granted a respite."
032.030 So turn away from them, and wait: they too are waiting.
THE CLANS, THE COALITION, THE COMBINED FORCES, CHAPTER NO. 033
033.001 O Prophet! Fear God, and hearken not to the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites: verily God is full of Knowledge
and Wisdom.
033.002 But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord: for God is well acquainted with (all) that
ye do.
033.003 And put thy trust in God, and enough is God as a disposer of affairs.
033.004 God has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body: nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce
by Zihar your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your
mouths. But God tells (you) the Truth, and He shows the (right) Way.
033.005 Call them by (the names of) their fathers: that is juster in the sight of God. But if ye know not their father's
(names, call them) your Brothers in faith, or your maulas. But there is no blame on you if ye make a mistake therein:
(what counts is) the intention of your hearts: and God is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
033.006 The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers. Blood-relations
among each other have closer personal ties, in the Decree of God. Than (the Brotherhood of) Believers and Muhajirs:
nevertheless do ye what is just to your closest friends: such is the writing in the Decree (of God).
033.007 And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham,
Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:
033.008 That (God) may question the (custodians) of Truth concerning the Truth they (were charged with): And He
has prepared for the Unbelievers a grievous Penalty.
033.009 O ye who believe! Remember the Grace of God, (bestowed) on you, when there came down on you hosts (to
