Prophet, be mindful of God and do not give in to the disbelievers and the hypocrites: God is all knowing, all wise.

Follow what your Lord reveals to you: God is well aware of all your actions.

Put your trust in God: God is enough to trust.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمࣰا

وَٱتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرࣰا

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلࣰا

God does not put two hearts within a man’s breast. He does not turn the wives you reject and liken to your mothers’ backs into your real mothers; nor does He make your adopted sons into real sons. These are only words from your mouths, while God speaks the truth and guides people to the right path.

Name your adopted sons after their real fathers: this is more equitable in God’s eyes––if you do not know who their fathers are [they are your] ‘brothers-in-religion’ and proteges. You will not be blamed if you make a mistake, only for what your hearts deliberately intend; God is most forgiving and merciful.

مَّا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِرَجُلࣲ مِّن قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِۦۚ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَزْوَٰجَكُمُ ٱلَّٰٓـِٔي تُظَٰهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمْۚ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَدْعِيَآءَكُمْ أَبْنَآءَكُمْۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُم بِأَفْوَٰهِكُمْۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَقُولُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِي ٱلسَّبِيلَ

ٱدْعُوهُمْ لِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ فَإِن لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ فِي ٱلدِّينِ وَمَوَٰلِيكُمْۚ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحࣱ فِيمَآ أَخْطَأْتُم بِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِيمًا

The Prophet is more protective towards the believers than they are themselves, while his wives are their mothers. In God’s Scripture, blood-relatives have a stronger claim than other believers and emigrants, though you may still bestow gifts on your proteges. All this is written in the Scripture.

We took a solemn pledge from the prophets- from you [Muhammad], from Noah, from Abraham, from Moses, from Jesus, son of Mary- We took a solemn pledge from all of them:

God will question [even] the truthful about their sincerity, and for those who reject the truth He has prepared a painful torment.

ٱلنَّبِيُّ أَوْلَىٰ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْۖ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُۥٓ أُمَّهَٰتُهُمْۗ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِبَعْضࣲ فِي كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُهَٰجِرِينَ إِلَّآ أَن تَفْعَلُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَوْلِيَآئِكُم مَّعْرُوفࣰاۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مَسْطُورࣰا

وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِيثَٰقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحࣲ وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَۖ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَٰقًا غَلِيظࣰا

لِّيَسْـَٔلَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ عَن صِدْقِهِمْۚ وَأَعَدَّ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمࣰا

You who believe, remember God’s goodness to you when mighty armies massed against you: We sent a violent wind and invisible forces against them. God sees all that you do.

They massed against you from above and below; your eyes rolled [with fear], your hearts rose into your throats, and you thought [ill] thoughts of God.

There the believers were sorely tested and deeply shaken:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ جَآءَتْكُمْ جُنُودࣱ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحࣰا وَجُنُودࣰا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَاۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرًا

إِذْ جَآءُوكُم مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتِ ٱلْأَبْصَٰرُ وَبَلَغَتِ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٱلْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلظُّنُونَا۠

هُنَالِكَ ٱبْتُلِيَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُوا۟ زِلْزَالࣰا شَدِيدࣰا

the hypocrites and the sick at heart said, ‘God and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusions!’

Some of them said, ‘People of Yathrib, you will not be able to withstand [the attack], so go back!’ Some of them asked the Prophet’s permission to leave, saying, ‘Our houses are exposed,’ even though they were not- they just wanted to run away:

had the city been invaded from all sides, and the enemy invited them to rebel, they would have done so almost without hesitation.

Yet they had already promised God that they would not turn tail and flee, and a promise to God will be answered for.

وَإِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضࣱ مَّا وَعَدَنَا ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ إِلَّا غُرُورࣰا

وَإِذْ قَالَت طَّآئِفَةࣱ مِّنْهُمْ يَٰٓأَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَٱرْجِعُوا۟ۚ وَيَسْتَـْٔذِنُ فَرِيقࣱ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلنَّبِيَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةࣱ وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍۖ إِن يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارࣰا

وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُئِلُوا۟ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ لَـَٔاتَوْهَا وَمَا تَلَبَّثُوا۟ بِهَآ إِلَّا يَسِيرࣰا

وَلَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ عَٰهَدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبْلُ لَا يُوَلُّونَ ٱلْأَدْبَٰرَۚ وَكَانَ عَهْدُ ٱللَّهِ مَسْـُٔولࣰا
