(Here
is) a Surahh which We have revealed
and enjoined, and wherein We have revealed plain tokens, that haply
{by chance}
we may take heed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
The
adulterer and the adulteress, scourge you each one of them
(with) a hundred stripes. And
let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if
you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of believers
witness their punishment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
The
adulterer shall not marry save an adulteress or an idolatress, and
the adulteress none shall marry save an adulterer or an idolater.
All that is forbidden unto believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And
those who accuse honorable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge
them (with)
eighty stripes and never (afterward)
accept their testimony--They indeed are evildoers-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Save
those who afterward repent and make amends. (For
such) lo! Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
As
for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses except themselves;
let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies, (swearing)
by Allah that he is of those who speak the truth; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
yet a fifth, invoking the curse of Allah on him if he is of those
who lie. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And
it shall avert the punishment from her if she bear witness before
Allah four times that the thing he says is indeed false, |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And
a fifth (time)
that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he speaks truth. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And
had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, and
that Allah is Clement, Wise, (you
had been undone). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Lo!
they who spread the slander are a gang among you. Deem it not a bad
thing for you; say, it is good for you. Unto every man of them (will
be paid that which he has earned of the sin; and as for him among
them who had the greater share therein, his will be an awful doom. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Why
did not the believers, men and women, when you heard it, think good
of their own folk; and say: It is a manifest untruth? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Why
did they not produce four witnesses? Since they produce not witnesses,
they verily are liars in the sight of Allah. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Had
it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you in the world
and the Hereafter an awful doom had overtaken you for that whereof
you murmured. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
When
you welcomed it with your tongues, and uttered with your mouths that
whereof you had no knowledge, you counted it a trifle. In the sight
of Allah it is very great. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Wherefore,
when you heard it, said you not: It is not for us to speak of this.
Glory be to You (O Allah);
This is awful calumny. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Allah
admonishes you that you repeat not the like thereof ever, if you are
(in truth) believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
And
He expounds unto you His revelations. Allah is Knower, Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Lo!
those who love that slander should be spread concerning those who
believe, theirs will be a painful punishment in the world and the
Hereafter. Allah knoweth. You know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Had
it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, and that
Allah is Clement, Merciful, (you
had been undone) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
O
you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of the devil. Unto whomsoever
follows the footsteps of the devil, lo! he commands filthiness and
wrong. Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you,
not one of you would ever have grown pure. But Allah causes whom He
will to grow. And Allah is Hearer, Knower. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And
let not those who possess dignity and ease among you swear not to
give to the near of kin and to the needy, and to fugitives for the
cause of Allah. Let them forgive and show indulgence. Yearn you not
that Allah may forgive you? Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Lo!
as for those who traduce virtuous, believing women (who
are) careless, cursed are they
in the world and the Hereafter. Theirs will be an awful doom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
On
the day when their tongues and their hands and their feet testify
against them as to what they used to do, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
On
that day Allah will pay them their just due, and they will know that
Allah, He is the Manifest Truth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Vile
women are for vile men, and vile men for vile women. Good women are
for good men, and good men for good women; such are innocent of that
which people say: For them is pardon and a bountiful provision. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
O
you who believe! Enter not houses other than your own without first
announcing your presence and invoking peace upon the folk thereof.
That is better for you, that you may be heedful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
And
if you find no one therein, still enter not until permission has been
given. And if it be said unto you: Go away again, then go away, for
it is purer for you. Allah knowes what you do. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
(It
is) no sin for you to enter
uninhabited houses wherein is comfort for you. Allah knowes what you
proclaim and what you hide. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Tell
the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer
for them. Lo! Allah is Aware {Al-Khabir}
of what they do. |
