Quran recitation: Surah Al-Ahzab

This is a calming recitation of Surah Al-Ahzab (The Allies – from 33:35 to 33:42) by Abdulaziz Az-Zahrani.

There is a lot to say about these 8 Ayat, so let us focus on the verse 35:

“For men and women who are devoted to God- believing men and women, obedient men and women, truthful men and women, steadfast men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, chaste men and women, men and women who remember God often- God has prepared forgiveness and a rich reward.” [35:35]

When we see the translation: “devoted’ in the Quran it has a deeper meaning. Indeed Allah talks about the ones who submit, surrender themselves. It is a very strong message about how we should live our lives: by following Islam as a way of life. Which encompasses a whole set of rules and code of conduct.

In these Ayat, it is clear as well that the instructions given by Allah are not exclusively meant for men but for the whole Muslim society; hence it includes women.

For an explanation of the subject in the verses 36 till 40, you can have a look at the link below:

Seerah Of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) – Marriage To Zainab Bint Jaysh

English translation of the Surah :

[33:35] For men and women who are devoted to God- believing men and women, obedient men and women, truthful men and women, steadfast men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, chaste men and women, men and women who remember God often- God has prepared forgiveness and a rich reward.

[33:36] When God and His Messenger have decided on a matter that concerns them, it is not fitting for any believing man or woman to claim freedom of choice in that matter: whoever disobeys God and His Messenger is far astray.

[33:37] When you [Prophet] said to the man who had been favoured by God and by you, ‘Keep your wife and be mindful of God,’ you hid in your heart what God would later reveal: you were afraid of people, but it is more fitting that you fear God. When Zayd no longer wanted her, We gave her to you in marriage so that there might be no fault in believers marrying the wives of their adopted sons after they no longer wanted them. God’s command must be carried out:

[33:38] the Prophet is not at fault for what God has ordained for him. This was God’s practice with those who went before- God’s command must be fulfilled-

[33:39] [and with all] those who deliver God’s messages and fear only Him and no other: God’s reckoning is enough.

[33:40] Muhammad is not the father of any one of you men; he is God’s Messenger and the seal of the prophets: God knows everything.

[33:41] Believers, remember God often

[33:42] and glorify Him morning and evening
