وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ ۗ وَمَن يَعْصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَـٰلًا مُّبِينًا Qur’an Al-Ahzab (33:36)

Wama kana limuminin wala muminatin itha qada Allahu warasooluhu amran an yakoona lahumu alkhiyaratu min amrihim waman yaAAsi Allaha warasoolahu faqad dalla dalalan mubeenan

Now whenever God and His Apostle have decided a matter,⁴⁰ it is not for a believing man or a believing woman to claim freedom of choice insofar as they themselves are concerned:⁴¹ for he who [thus] rebels against God and His Apostle has already, most obviously, gone astray.

- Mohammad Asad

It is not fitting for a believing man or a believing woman to have an option in their affairs when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Rasool; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Rasool has indeed strayed into a clearly wrong path.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

It is not for a believing man or woman- when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter- to have any other choice in that matter.¹ Indeed, whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has clearly gone 'far' astray.

- Mustafa Khattab

And it becometh not a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His messenger have decided an affair (for them), that they should (after that) claim any say in their affair; and whoso is rebellious to Allah and His messenger, he verily goeth astray in error manifest.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

It is not fitting for a Believer man or woman when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Apostle to have any option about their decision: if anyone disobeys Allah and His Apostle he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path. ³⁷²¹
