Surah 33. Al-Ahzab, Ayah 27
| وَأَوْرَثَكُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيَارَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَأَرْضًا لَمْ تَطَئُوهَا ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- awratha -kum 'ard. -hum wa- diyaar -hum wa- amwaal -hum wa- 'ard.(an) lam tat.a'o -haa wa- kaana 'allaah calaa kull shay' qader(an) |
| Pickthall | : | And He caused you to inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and land ye have not trodden. Allah is Able to do all things. |
| Asad | : | and He made you heirs to their lands, and their houses, and their goods - and [promised you] lands on which you had never yet set foot:30 for God has indeed the Dower to will anvthine. |
| Malik | : | Thus He made you heirs of their lands, their houses and their goods, and also the land (Khayber) on which you had never set your foot before. Truly, Allah has power over all things. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And He made you heirs of their lands their houses and their goods and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things. 3705 |
Note - 30I.e., lands which the Muslims were to conquer and hold in
the future. This clause - with its allusion to yet more
prosperous times to come - provides a connection between
the present passage and the next.

Note - 3705This part of the Sura is considered a prophecy. It may
refer to the conquest of Khaibar. Khaibar is a Harrat or
volcanic tract, well-watered with many springs issuing
from its basaltic rocks. It has a good irrigation system
and produces good harvests of grain and dates in its wet
valleys, while the outcrop of rocks in the high ground
affords sites for numerous fortresses. In the holy
Prophet's time there were Jewish colonies settled here,
but they were a source of constant trouble especially
after Siege of Madinah. It became a nest of all the
hostile Jewish elements expelled for their treachery from
elsewhere. Its capital, Khaibar, is about 90 miles due
north of Madinah. Its inhabitants offered some
resistance, and Hadhrat 'Ali, though he had just risen
from a bed of illness, performed prodigies of valour.
After its surrender, a land settlement was made, which
retained the cultivators of the soil on the land, but
brought them under control, so that no further focus of
active hostility should remain near Madinah. The terms of
the settlement will be found in Waqidi.
