Sura-33 [Al Ahzab madina 90]


The Quranic Text & Ali’s version:




الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالَاتِ اللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا اللَّهَ...

33:39 [Ali] . (It is the practice of those) who preach the Messages of Allah, and fear Him, and fear none but Allah:

...وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا ﴿٣٩﴾

and enough is Allah to call (men) to account.

C3730. Our responsibility is to Allah, not to men. Men's opinions may have a bearing on our own interpretation of duty, but when that duty is clear, our only course is to obey Allah rather than men.

Asad’s Version:


33:38 [Asad] (Hence,] no blame whatever attaches to the Prophet for [having done] what God has ordained for him. 48 [Indeed, such was] God's way with those that have passed away aforetime" - and [remember that] God's will is always destiny absolute -;


(33:39) [and such will always be His way with] those who convey God's messages (to the world], and stand in awe of Him, and hold none but God in awe: for none can take count [of man's doings] as God does!
