33. Al-Ahzab (The Confederates)[73 verses]

Medina Period 90 [3-5 Hijrah]

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

وَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ وَدَعْ أَذَاهُمْ ...

33:48 And obey not (the behests) of the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and heed not their annoyances,

C3737. Men of little or no Faith will often lay down the law and tell better men than themselves what to do. In case of refusal they shower insults and injuries. No attention is to be paid to them. It is their way. All will be right under the government of Allah.

... وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ...

but put thy trust in Allah,

...وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا ﴿٤٨﴾

for enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.

Asad’s Version:

(33:48) and defer not to [the likes and dislikes of] the deniers of the truth and the hypocrites, and disregard their hurtful talk, 54 and place thy trust in God: for none is as worthy of trust as God.
