33.21 . Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the last Day , and remembereth Allah much .

33.22 . And when the true believers saw the clans , they said : This is that which Allah and His messenger promised us . Allah and His messenger are true . It did but confirm them in their faith and resignation .

33.23 . Of the believers are men who are true to that which they covenanted with Allah . Some of them have paid their vow by death ( in battle ) , and some of them still are waiting ; and they have not altered in the least ;

33.24 . That Allah may reward the true men for their truth , and punish the hypocrites if He will , or relent toward them ( if He will ) . Lo! Allah is Forgiving , Merciful .

33.25 . And Allah repulsed the disbelievers in their wrath ; they gained no good . Allah averted their attack from the believers . Allah is Strong , Mighty .

33.26 . And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who supported them down from their strongholds , and cast panic into their hearts . Some ye slew , and ye made captive some .

33.27 . And He caused you to inherit their land and their houses and their wealth , and land ye have not trodden . Allah is Able to do all things .

33.28 . O Prophet! Say unto thy wives : If ye desire the world ' s life and its adornment , come! I will content you and will release you with a fair release .

33.29 . But if ye desire Allah and His messenger and the abode of the Hereafter , then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good among you an immense reward .

33.30 . O ye wives of the Prophet! Whosoever of you committeth manifest lewdness , the punishment for her will be doubled , and that is easy for Allah .

33.31 . And whosoever of you is submissive unto Allah and His messenger and doeth right , We shall give her reward twice over , and We have prepared for her a rich provision .

33.32 . O ye wives of the Prophet! Ye are not like any other women . If ye keep your duty ( to Allah ) , then be not soft of speech , lest he in whose heart is a disease aspire ( to you ) , but utter customary speech .

33.33 . And stay in your houses . Bedizen not yourselves with the bedizenment of the Time of ignorance . Be regular in prayer , and pay the poor due , and obey Allah and His messenger . Allah ' s wish is but to remove uncleanness far from you , O Folk of the Household , and cleanse you with a thorough cleansing .

33.34 . And bear in mind that which is recited in your houses of the revelations of Allah and wisdom . Lo! Allah is Subtile , Aware .

33.35 . Lo! men who surrender unto Allah , and women who surrender , and men who believe and women who believe , and men who obey and women who obey , and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth , and men who persevere ( in righteousness ) and women who persevere , and men who are humble and women who are humble , and men who give alms and women who give alms , and men who fast and women who fast , and men who guard their modesty and women who guard ( their modesty ) , and men who remember Allah much and women who remember Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward .

33.36 . And it becometh not a believing man or a believing woman , when Allah and His messenger have decided and affair ( for them ) , that they should ( after that ) claim any say in their affair ; and whoso is rebellious to Allah and His messenger , be verily goeth astray in error manifest .

33.37 . And when thou saidst unto him on whom Allah hath conferred favor and thou hast conferred favor : Keep thy wife to thyself , and fear Allah . And thou didst hide in thy mind that which Allah was to bring to light , and thou didst fear mankind whereas Allah had a better right that thou shouldst fear Him . So when Zeyd had performed the necessary formality ( of divorce ) from her , We gave her unto thee in marriage , so that ( henceforth ) there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons , when the latter have performed the necessary formality ( of release ) from them . The commandment of Allah must be fulfilled .

33.38 . There is no reproach for the Prophet in that which Allah maketh his due . That was Allah ' s way with those who passed away of old and the commandment of Allah is certain destiny .

33.39 . Who delivered the messages of Allah and feared Him , and feared none save Allah . Allah keepeth good account .

33.40 . Muhammad is not the father of any man among you , but he is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets ; and Allah is Aware of all things .
