Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
There is no blame on you for subtly showing interest in ˹divorced or widowed˺ women
1 or for hiding ˹the intention˺ in your hearts. Allah knows that you are considering them ˹for marriage˺. But do not make a secret commitment with them—you can only show interest in them appropriately. Do not commit to the bond of marriage until the waiting period expires. Know that Allah is aware of what is in your hearts, so beware of Him. And know that Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

Those ˹are the same people˺ who say, “Allah has commanded us not to believe in any messenger unless he brings us an offering to be consumed by fire ˹from the sky˺.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Other prophets did in fact come to you

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Righteousness is not in turning your faces towards the east or the west. Rather, the righteous are those who believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Books, and the prophets; who give charity out of their cherished wealth to relatives, orphans, the poor, ˹needy˺ travellers, beggars, and for freeing captives; who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and keep the pledges they make; and who are patient in times of suffering, adversity, and in ˹the heat of˺ battle. It is they who are true ˹in faith˺, and it is they who are mindful ˹of Allah˺.
3:152 - Ali 'Imran

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Indeed, Allah fulfilled His
promise to you when you ˹initially˺ swept them away by His Will, then your courage weakened and you disputed about the command and disobeyed,
1 after Allah had brought victory within your reach. Some of you were after worldly gain while others desired a heavenly reward. He denied you victory over them as a test, yet He has pardoned you. And Allah is Gracious to the believers.
7:135 - Al-A'raf

As for Abraham’s prayer for his father’s forgiveness, it was only in fulfilment of a
promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to Abraham that his father was an enemy of Allah, he broke ties with him.
1 Abraham was truly tender-hearted, forbearing.

١١١
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Allah has indeed purchased from the believers their lives and wealth in exchange for Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah and kill or are killed. This is a true
promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. And whose
promise is truer than Allah’s? So rejoice in the exchange you have made with Him. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Surely to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Surely Allah’s

So be patient ˹O Prophet˺, ˹for˺ Allah’s

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Allah has
promised those of you who believe and do good that He will certainly make them successors in the land, as He did with those before them; and will surely establish for them their faith which He has chosen for them; and will indeed change their fear into security—˹provided that˺ they worship Me, associating nothing with Me. But whoever disbelieves after this ˹
promise˺, it is they who will be the rebellious.

Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Have you considered your associate-gods which you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created on earth! Or do they have a share in ˹the creation of˺ the heavens? Or have We given the polytheists a Book, which serves as a clear proof for them? In fact, the wrongdoers

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
If there were a recitation that could cause mountains to move, or the earth to split, or the dead to speak, ˹it would have been this Quran˺. But all matters are by Allah’s Will. Have the believers not yet realized that had Allah willed, He could have guided all of humanity? And disasters will continue to afflict the disbelievers or strike close to their homes for their misdeeds, until Allah’s
promise comes to pass. Surely Allah never fails in His
promise.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And Satan will say ˹to his followers˺ after the judgment has been passed, “Indeed, Allah has made you a true
promise. I too made you a
promise, but I failed you. I did not have any authority over you. I only called you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; blame yourselves. I cannot save you, nor can you save me. Indeed, I denounce your previous association of me with Allah ˹in loyalty˺. Surely the wrongdoers will suffer a painful punishment.”

When the believers saw the enemy alliance, they said, “This is what Allah and His Messenger had

That is how We caused them to be discovered so that their people might know that Allah’s
promise ˹of resurrection˺ is true and that there is no doubt about the Hour.
1 When the people disputed with each other about the case of the youth ˹after their death˺,

But some scold their parents, “Enough with you! Are you warning me that I will be brought forth ˹from the grave˺, while many generations had already perished before me ˹for good˺?” The parents cry to Allah for help, ˹and warn their child,˺ “Pity you. Have faith! Surely Allah’s

Those who stayed behind will say, when you ˹believers˺ set out to take the spoils of war, “Let us accompany you.” They wish to change Allah’s

O humanity! Indeed, Allah’s
promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
To Him is your return all together. Allah’s
promise is ˹always˺ true. Indeed, He originates the creation then resurrects it so that He may justly reward those who believe and do good. But those who disbelieve will have a boiling drink and a painful punishment for their disbelief.
