Translation of Verse 11-18

11. No calamity befalls ˹anyone˺ except by Allah's Will. And whoever has faith in Allah, He will ˹rightly˺ guide their hearts ˹through adversity˺. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

12. Obey Allah and obey the Messenger! But if you turn away, then Our Messenger's duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.

13. Allah- there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

14. O believers! Indeed, some of your spouses and children are enemies to you, ¹²⁰⁴ so beware of them. But if you pardon, overlook, and forgive ˹their faults˺, then Allah is truly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

15. Your wealth and children are only a test, but Allah ˹alone˺ has a great reward.

16. So be mindful of Allah to the best of your ability, hear and obey, and spend in charity-that will be best for you. And whoever is saved from the selfishness of their own souls, it is they who are ˹truly˺ successful.

17. If you lend to Allah a good loan, He will multiply it for you and forgive you. For Allah is Most Appreciative, Most Forbearing.

18. ˹He is the˺ Knower of the seen and unseen-the Almighty, All-Wise.

Commentary

1204. This verse was revealed when some early Muslims were prevented from emigrating to Medina by their own spouses and children, so they could not join the Prophet ( ﷺ ) and the rest of the believers to practice their faith freely.
