| 36. And it behoves not a believing man or a believing woman, when ALLAH and HIS Messenger have decided a matter, that they should exercise their own choice in the matter concerning them. And whoso disobeys ALLAH and HIS Messenger, surely, strays away in manifest error. 37. And call to mind when thou didst say to him on whom ALLAH had bestowed favours and on whom thou also hadst bestowed favours: `Keep thy wife to thyself, and fear ALLAH,' and thou didst conceal in thy heart what ALLAH was going to bring to light, and thou didst fear the people, whereas ALLAH has better right that thou shouldst fear HIM. Then, when Zaid had accomplished his want concerning her, WE joined her in marriage to thee, so that there may be no difficulty for the believers with regard to marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished their wants concerning them. And ALLAH's decree was bound to be fulfilled. 38. No blame can attach to the Prophet with respect to that which ALLAH has made incumbent upon him. Such, indeed, was the way of ALLAH with those who have passed before - and the command of ALLAH is a decree ordained - 39. Those who delivered the Messages of ALLAH and feared HIM, and feared none but ALLAH. And sufficient is ALLAH as a reckoner. 40. Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of ALLAH, and the seal of the Prophets and ALLAH has full knowledge of all things. 41. O ye who believe ! remember ALLAH much; 42. And glorify HIM morning and evening. 43. HE it is Who sends down HIS blessing on you, and HIS angels pray for you, that HE may bring you forth from all kinds of darkness into light. And HE is Merciful to the believers. |
