O you who believe! Obey God and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you dispute over anything, refer it to God and the Messenger, if you believe in God and the Last Day. That is best, and a most excellent determination.
What does the Qur'an say about obeying those in authority?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 4:59 O ye who believe, OBEY GOD, AND OBEY THE MESSENGER AND THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY; AND IF YE HAVE A DISPUTE CONCERNING ANY MATTER, REFER IT TO GOD AND THE MESSENGER. In because it is the only verse commanding obedience to human authority, and because its second half supplies a referral that the first half does not close over.
- 02 4:83 And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, come unto them, they noise it abroad; whereas IF THEY HAD REFERRED IT TO THE MESSENGER AND SUCH OF THEM AS ARE IN AUTHORITY, THOSE OF THEM WHO ARE ABLE TO THINK OUT THE MATTER WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT. In because it is the only other verse using the phrase, and it describes the function of those in authority as working something out rather than commanding.
- 03 31:15 But if they strive with thee to make thee ascribe unto Me as partner that of which thou hast no knowledge, THEN OBEY THEM NOT - yet consort with them in the world kindly. This verse limits obedience to parents: if they strive to make one ascribe partners to God, obey them not, yet consort with them kindly. It also appears in What is the unforgivable sin (shirk) in the Qur'an?; the verse before it, 31:14, is in What does the Qur'an say about the treatment of parents?
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
One verse commands it, and the same verse limits it.
4:59: obey God, and obey the messenger, AND THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY. That is the whole textual basis for obedience to human rulers in the Qur'an - one clause.
Three things about it deserve a reader's attention.
First, the grammar. The four translators handle it alike: the verb OBEY is repeated for God and for the messenger, and is NOT repeated before those in authority. They are attached to the messenger's clause rather than given a command of their own. Whether that is significant is an interpretive question, but the reader should be able to see it.
Second, the second half. AND IF YE HAVE A DISPUTE CONCERNING ANY MATTER, REFER IT TO GOD AND THE MESSENGER, if ye are believers in God and the Last Day. The verse that commands obedience provides, in the same breath, a route past the person being obeyed.
Third, 4:83 - the only other verse using the phrase - does not describe those in authority as issuing orders at all. It describes referring a report to them because THOSE WHO ARE ABLE TO THINK OUT THE MATTER would know what to make of it. The role is analytic.
31:15 supplies the one stated limit on obedience to any human being, and it is given about the strongest natural claim - a parent's. If they press you toward ascribing partners to God, DO NOT OBEY THEM; and be kind to them anyway.
What is not here: any account of how authority is acquired, what forfeits it, or what a subject may do about an unjust ruler. Speaking to one is carried by What does the Qur'an say about speaking truth to an unjust ruler?, and the text there is more forthcoming than it is here.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 4:59, widening across 3 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 3 passages, each with every cleared translation
3 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Ω, σεις που πιστεύετε! Υπακούστε τον Αλλάχ, και υπακούστε τον Αγγελιαφόρο και εκείνους ανάμεσά σας που έχουν την ηγεσία. Εάν διαφωνείτε γι' οτιδήποτε, παραπέμψτε το στον Αλλάχ (στο Βιβλίο Του) και στον Αγγελιαφόρο (στη Σούννα -παράδοση- του), εάν πράγματι πιστεύετε στον Αλλάχ και στην Έσχατη Ημέρα.

ऐ ईमान वालो! अल्लाह का आज्ञापालन करो और रसूल का आज्ञापालन करो और अपने में से अधिकार वालों (शासकों) का। फिर यदि तुम आपस में किसी चीज़ में मतभेद कर बैठो, तो उसे अल्लाह और रसूल की ओर लौटाओ, यदि तुम अल्लाह तथा अंतिम दिन (परलोक) पर ईमान रखते हो। यह (तुम्हारे लिए) बहुत बेहतर है और परिणाम की दृष्टि से बहुत अच्छा है।

59. O jūs, kurie tikite! Pakluskite Allahui ir pakluskite Pasiuntiniui (Muchammedui ﷺ ) ir tiems iš jūsų (musulmonams), kurie yra valdžioje.

О вы, которые уверовали! Повинуйтесь Аллаху, повинуйтесь Посланнику и обладающим властью среди вас[32]. А если вы станете спорить о чём-либо, то возвращайте это к Аллаху и Посланнику.
О ви који верујете, покоравајте се Аллаху и покоравајте се Посланику и надлежнима између вас. А ако се у нечему не слажете, обратите се Аллаху и Посланику, ако верујете у Аллаха и Последњи дан. Тако је боље и лепше поступити.

Troende! Lyd Gud och lyd sändebudet och dem bland er som har auktoritet. Om ni tvistar om något, låt då Gud och sändebudet avgöra frågan, om ni verkligen tror på Gud och den yttersta dagen. Detta är bättre och får de bästa följderna.
Ey iman edenler! Allah’a itaat edin. Peygamber’e itaat edin ve sizden olan ulu’l-emre (idarecilere) de. Herhangi bir hususta anlaşmazlığa düştüğünüz takdirde, Allah’a ve ahiret gününe gerçekten inanıyorsanız, onu Allah ve Rasûlüne arz edin. Bu, daha iyidir. Sonuç bakımından da daha güzeldir.
اے ایمان والو! فرمانبرداری کرو اللہ تعالیٰ کی اور فرمانبرداری کرو رسول (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) کی اور تم میں سے اختیار والوں کی[1] ۔ پھر اگر کسی چیز میں اختلاف کرو تو اسے لوٹاؤ، اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف اور رسول کی طرف، اگر تمہیں اللہ تعالیٰ پر اور قیامت کے دن پر ایمان ہے۔ یہ بہت بہتر ہے اور باعتبار انجام کے بہت اچھا ہے[2]۔

God instructs you to give back things entrusted to you to their owners. And when you judge between people, judge with justice. God's instructions to you are excellent. God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye restore deposits to their owners, and, if ye judge between mankind, that ye judge justly. Lo! comely is this which Allah admonisheth you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer, Seer
Verily, God bids you pay your trusts to their owners, and when ye judge between men to judge with justice. Verily, God, excellent is what He admonishes you with; verily, God both hears and sees
Verily, God enjoineth you to give back your trusts to their owners, and when ye judge between men, to judge with fairness. Excellent is the practice to which God exhorteth you. God Heareth, Beholdeth
Moreover God commandeth you to restore what ye are trusted with, to the owners; and when ye judge between men, that ye judge according to equity: And surely an excellent virtue it is to which God exhorteth you; for God both heareth and seeth

The translators word this verse differently
Have you not observed those who claim that they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, yet they seek Satanic sources for legislation, in spite of being commanded to reject them? Satan means to mislead them far away.
Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray
Do ye not see those who pretend that they believe in what has been revealed to them, and what was revealed before thee; they wish to refer their judgment to Taghut, but they are bidden to disbelieve therein, and Satan wishes to lead them into a remote error
Hast thou not marked those who profess that they believe in what hath been sent down to thee, and what hath been sent down before thee? Fain would they be judged before Thagout, though commanded not to believe in him; and fain would Satan make them wander with wanderings wide of truth
Hast thou not observed those who pretend they believe in what hath been revealed unto thee, and what been revealed before thee? They desire to go to judgment before Taghut, although they have been commanded not to believe in him; and Satan desireth to seduce them into a wide error

When some news of security or alarm comes their way, they broadcast it. But had they referred it to the Messenger, and to those in authority among them, those who can draw conclusions from it would have comprehended it. Were it not for God's blessing and mercy upon you, you would have followed the Devil, except for a few.

When any news cometh unto them, either of security or fear, they immediately divulge it; but if they told it to the apostle and to those who are in authority among them, such of them would understand the truth of the matter, as inform themselves thereof from the apostle and his chiefs. And if the favour of God and his mercy had not been upon you, ye had followed the devil, except a few of you

Po të mos ishte mirësia dhe mëshira e Allahut ndaj jush, ju do të pasonit shejtanin, përveç një pakice.
আর যখন তাদের (মুনাফিকদের) নিকট শান্তি কিংবা ভীতিজনক কোন সংবাদ আসে, (সত্য-মিথ্যা যাচাই না করেই) তখন তারা তা প্রচার করে বেড়ায়। আর যদি তারা সেটি রাসূলের কাছে এবং তাদের কর্তৃত্বের অধিকারীদের কাছে পৌঁছে দিত, তাহলে তাদের মধ্যে যারা তথ্য অনুসন্ধান (উদ্ভাবন) করে তারা সেটার যথার্থতা নির্ণয় করতে পারত। আর যদি তোমাদের ওপর আল্লাহর অনুগ্রহ ও তাঁর রহমত না থাকতো, তবে ( এ ধরনের প্রচারণার ফলে) অবশ্যই অল্প সংখ্যক লোক ছাড়া তোমরা অধিকাংশই শয়তানের (কুমন্ত্রণার) অনুসরণ করতে।

Und wenn ihnen eine Angelegenheit zu (Ohren) kommt, die Sicherheit oder Furcht betrifft, geben sie es bekannt. Wenn sie es jedoch vor den Gesandten und die Befehlshaber unter ihnen brächten, würden es gewiss diejenigen unter ihnen wissen, die es (von ihnen) herausfinden (und erschließen) können. Und wenn nicht die Huld Allahs über euch und Seine Barmherzigkeit gewesen wären, wäret ihr sicherlich bis auf wenige dem Satan gefolgt.
Όποτε φτάνει σ' αυτούς (τους υποκριτές) κάποια είδηση για (το ότι οι Μουσουλμάνοι είναι σε) ασφάλεια (και χαρά) ή φόβο (και θλίψη), αμέσως τη διαδίδουν. Και αν (είχαν κάνει υπομονή και) την παρέπεμπαν στον Αγγελιαφόρο και σ' εκείνους που έχουν γνώση, τότε εκείνοι (οι άνθρωποι της γνώσης) που μπορούν να το ψάξουν (από τις πηγές του αν είναι αλήθεια ή ψεύδος) θα μάθαιναν την πραγματικότητά της! Αν δεν ήταν η χάρη και το έλεος του Αλλάχ σ' εσάς (ω, Μουσουλμάνοι), θα ακολουθούσατε (όπως αυτοί οι υποκριτές) τον Σατανά, εκτός από λίγους.
और जब उनके पास सुरक्षा या भय की कोई सूचना आती है, तो उसे चारों ओर फैला देते हैं। हालाँकि, यदि वे उसे अल्लाह के रसूल तथा अपने में से प्राधिकारियों की ओर लौटा देते, तो उनमें से जो लोग उसका सही निष्कर्ष निकाल सकते हैं, उसकी वास्तविकता को अवश्य जान लेते। और यदि तुमपर अल्लाह की अनुकंपा तथा दया न होती, तो तुममें से कुछ को छोड़कर, सब शैतान का अनुसरण करने लगते।[58]
E se arrivano loro notizie di pace o di paura, le diffondono, ma se le riferissero al Profeta e ai loro capi, l’avrebbero saputo quelli che, tra di loro, possono capirle. E se non fosse per la grazia di Allāh su di voi, e per la sua pietà, avreste seguito Satana, a eccezione di pochi tra voi.
83. Kai pasiekia juos koks dalykas, liečiantis (viešąjį) saugumą arba baimę, jie paskelbia tai (tarp žmonių). Jeigu tik jie būtų perdavę tai Pasiuntiniui arba tiems, kurie yra atsakingi valdžioje jiems, tinkami tyrėjai būtų sužinoję tai iš jų (tiesiogiai). Jei ne Allaho Malonė ir Gailestingumas jums, jūs pasektumėte Šaitan (Šėtonu), išskyrus kelis iš jūsų.

Когда к ним приходит весть о безопасности или страхе, они тут же разглашают её. А если бы они обратились с этим к Посланнику и обладателям власти среди них, то те из них, которые способны вникнуть в суть дела, узнали бы её [истинное значение]. И если бы не милость Аллаха к вам и не Его милосердие, вы бы — за исключением немногих — последовали за шайтаном.
А када им дође нешто што се односи на сигурност или страх, они то разгласе. А да то препусте Посланику или својим претпостављеним, то би сигурно од њих сазнали они који то испитују. А да није Аллахове доброте према вама и Његове милости, ви бисте, осим неколицине, ђавола следили.
Na linapowajia jambo lolote linalohusiana na amani au hofu, wao wanalitangaza. Na lau kuwa wangelipeleka hilo kwa Mtume na kwa wenye mamlaka kati yao, wale wanaochunguza miongoni mwao wangelijua. Na lau kuwa si fadhila ya Mwenyezi Mungu juu yenu na rehema yake, mngelimfuata Shetani isipokuwa wachache tu.
När de nås av uppgifter som rör säkerhet eller fara, sprider de dem genast vidare. Men om de i stället hade hänvisat dem till sändebudet och till de som har ansvar och auktoritet bland dem, skulle de som har förmåga att dra välgrundade slutsatser ha vetat hur man bör förhålla sig till dem. Om det inte vore för Guds godhet och barmhärtighet mot er, skulle nästan alla av er ha följt Satan.
Onlara güven veya korkuya dair bir haber gelince hemen onu yayarlar; halbuki onu, Rasûl'e veya emir sahibi olanlara götürselerdi, onlardan sonuç çıkarmaya kadir olanlar, onun ne olduğunu bilirlerdi. Allah'ın size lütuf ve rahmeti olmasaydı, pek azınız müstesna, şeytana uyup giderdiniz.
جہاں انہیں کوئی خبر امن کی یا خوف کی ملی انہوں نے اسے مشہور کرنا شروع کر دیا، حاﻻنکہ اگر یہ لوگ اسے رسول (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) کے اور اپنے میں سے ایسی باتوں کی تہہ تک پہنچنے والوں کے حوالے کر دیتے، تو اس کی حقیقت وه لوگ معلوم کر لیتے جو نتیجہ اخذ کرتے ہیں[1] اور اگر اللہ تعالیٰ کا فضل اور اس کی رحمت تم پر نہ ہوتی تو معدودے چند کے علاوه تم سب شیطان کے پیروکار بن جاتے۔

They profess obedience, but when they leave your presence, some of them conspire something contrary to what you said. But God writes down what they conspire. So avoid them, and put your trust in God. God is Guardian enough.
And they say: (It is) obedience; but when they have gone forth from thee a party of them spend the night in planning other than what thou sayest. Allah recordeth what they plan by night. So oppose them and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee
They say, 'Obedience!' but when they sally forth from you, a company of them brood by night over something else than that which thou hast said; but God writes down that over which they brood. Turn then from them and rely on God, for God sufficeth for a guardian
Moreover, they say: "Obedience!" but when they come forth from thy presence, a party of them brood by night over other than thy words; but God writeth down what they brood over: therefore separate thyself from them, and put thou thy trust in God. is a sufficient protector
They say, obedience: Yet when they go forth from thee, part of them meditate by night a matter different from what thou speakest; but God shall write down what they meditate by night: Therefore let them alone, and trust in God, for God is a sufficient protector

The translators word this verse differently
So fight in the cause of God; you are responsible only for yourself. And rouse the believers. Perhaps God will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. God is Stronger in Might, and More Punishing.
So fight (O Muhammad) in the way of Allah Thou art not taxed (with the responsibility for anyone) except thyself - and urge on the believers. Peradventure Allah will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. Allah is stronger in might and stronger in inflicting punishment
Fight, then, in the way of God; impose not aught on any but thyself, and urge on the believers; it may be that God will restrain the violence of those who misbelieve, for God is more violent and more severe to punish
Fight, therefore, on God's path: lay not burdens on any but thyself; and stir up the faithful. The might of the infidels haply will god restrain, for God is the stronger in prowess, and the stronger to punish
Fight therefore for the religion of God, and oblige not any to what is difficult, except thy self; however excite the faithful to war, perhaps God will restrain the courage of the unbelievers; for God is stronger than they, and more able to punish

Whoever intercedes for a good cause has a share in it, and whoever intercedes for an evil cause shares in its burdens. God keeps watch over everything.
Whoso interveneth in a good cause will have the reward thereof, and whoso interveneth in an evil cause will bear the consequence thereof. Allah overseeth all things
Whoso intercedes with a good intercession shall have a portion therefrom; but he who intercedes with a bad intercession shall have the like thereof, for God keeps watch over all things
He who shall mediate between men for a good purpose shall be the gainer by it. But he who shall mediate with an evil mediation shall reap the fruit of it. And God keepeth watch over everything

"O my son, even if it were the weight of a mustard-seed, in a rock, or in the heavens, or on earth, God will bring it to light. God is Kind and Expert.
O my dear son! Lo! though it be but the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Lo! Allah is Subtile, Aware

The translators word this verse differently
O my son, observe the prayer, advocate righteousness, forbid evil, and be patient over what has befallen you. These are of the most honorable traits.
O my dear son! Establish worship and enjoin kindness and forbid iniquity, and persevere whatever may befall thee. Lo! that is of the steadfast heart of things

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it5 of the 6 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 4:59, 4:83, 31:15, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - obey + god + obey + messenger + those + authority; in + authority + among + you; refer + it + god + messenger. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
Correction record, 2026-09-17. At 31:15, the reason named a study that does not carry the verse; it now names the verse that study carries, and a claim that this is the text's one limit on obedience was removed. The verses shown and their translations are unchanged.
