الزّانِيَةُ وَالزّانى فَاجلِدوا كُلَّ وٰحِدٍ مِنهُما مِا۟ئَةَ جَلدَةٍ ۖ وَلا تَأخُذكُم بِهِما رَأفَةٌ فى دينِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُم تُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الءاخِرِ ۖ وَليَشهَد عَذابَهُما طائِفَةٌ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

Saheeh International

The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion of Allah, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment.
24:3
الزّانى لا يَنكِحُ إِلّا زانِيَةً أَو مُشرِكَةً وَالزّانِيَةُ لا يَنكِحُها إِلّا زانٍ أَو مُشرِكٌ ۚ وَحُرِّمَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى المُؤمِنينَ

The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist, and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheist, and that has been made unlawful to the believers.

Saheeh International

And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses - lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient,

إِلَّا الَّذينَ تابوا مِن بَعدِ ذٰلِكَ وَأَصلَحوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Except for those who repent thereafter and reform, for indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَالَّذينَ يَرمونَ أَزوٰجَهُم وَلَم يَكُن لَهُم شُهَداءُ إِلّا أَنفُسُهُم فَشَهٰدَةُ أَحَدِهِم أَربَعُ شَهٰدٰتٍ بِاللَّهِ ۙ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقينَ

Saheeh International

And those who accuse their wives [of adultery] and have no witnesses except themselves - then the witness of one of them [shall be] four testimonies [swearing] by Allah that indeed, he is of the truthful.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ جاءو بِالإِفكِ عُصبَةٌ مِنكُم ۚ لا تَحسَبوهُ شَرًّا لَكُم ۖ بَل هُوَ خَيرٌ لَكُم ۚ لِكُلِّ امرِئٍ مِنهُم مَا اكتَسَبَ مِنَ الإِثمِ ۚ وَالَّذى تَوَلّىٰ كِبرَهُ مِنهُم لَهُ عَذابٌ عَظيمٌ

Saheeh International

Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof - for him is a great punishment.
24:12
لَولا إِذ سَمِعتُموهُ ظَنَّ المُؤمِنونَ وَالمُؤمِنٰتُ بِأَنفُسِهِم خَيرًا وَقالوا هٰذا إِفكٌ مُبينٌ

Saheeh International

Why did they [who slandered] not produce for it four witnesses? And when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is they, in the sight of Allah, who are the liars.
24:14
وَلَولا فَضلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم وَرَحمَتُهُ فِى الدُّنيا وَالءاخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُم فى ما أَفَضتُم فيهِ عَذابٌ عَظيمٌ

Saheeh International

When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allah, tremendous.

Saheeh International

O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allah purifies whom He wills, and Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
24:22
وَلا يَأتَلِ أُولُوا الفَضلِ مِنكُم وَالسَّعَةِ أَن يُؤتوا أُولِى القُربىٰ وَالمَسٰكينَ وَالمُهٰجِرينَ فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَليَعفوا وَليَصفَحوا ۗ أَلا تُحِبّونَ أَن يَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Saheeh International

And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give [aid] to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allah, and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَرمونَ المُحصَنٰتِ الغٰفِلٰتِ المُؤمِنٰتِ لُعِنوا فِى الدُّنيا وَالءاخِرَةِ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ عَظيمٌ

يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا لا تَدخُلوا بُيوتًا غَيرَ بُيوتِكُم حَتّىٰ تَستَأنِسوا وَتُسَلِّموا عَلىٰ أَهلِها ۚ ذٰلِكُم خَيرٌ لَكُم لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرونَ

O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own houses until you ascertain welcome and greet their inhabitants. That is best for you; perhaps you will be reminded.

There is no blame upon you for entering houses not inhabited in which there is convenience for you. And Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal.
24:30
قُل لِلمُؤمِنينَ يَغُضّوا مِن أَبصٰرِهِم وَيَحفَظوا فُروجَهُم ۚ ذٰلِكَ أَزكىٰ لَهُم ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبيرٌ بِما يَصنَعونَ

Saheeh International

And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
24:32
وَأَنكِحُوا الأَيٰمىٰ مِنكُم وَالصّٰلِحينَ مِن عِبادِكُم وَإِمائِكُم ۚ إِن يَكونوا فُقَراءَ يُغنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضلِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ وٰسِعٌ عَليمٌ

Saheeh International

But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty. And those who seek a contract [for eventual emancipation] from among whom your right hands possess - then make a contract with them if you know there is within them goodness and give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you. And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of worldly life. And if someone should compel them, then indeed, Allah is [to them], after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful.
24:34
وَلَقَد أَنزَلنا إِلَيكُم ءايٰتٍ مُبَيِّنٰتٍ وَمَثَلًا مِنَ الَّذينَ خَلَوا مِن قَبلِكُم وَمَوعِظَةً لِلمُتَّقينَ

Saheeh International

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.
24:36
فى بُيوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَن تُرفَعَ وَيُذكَرَ فيهَا اسمُهُ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فيها بِالغُدُوِّ وَالءاصالِ

رِجالٌ لا تُلهيهِم تِجٰرَةٌ وَلا بَيعٌ عَن ذِكرِ اللَّهِ وَإِقامِ الصَّلوٰةِ وَإيتاءِ الزَّكوٰةِ ۙ يَخافونَ يَومًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فيهِ القُلوبُ وَالأَبصٰرُ

لِيَجزِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَحسَنَ ما عَمِلوا وَيَزيدَهُم مِن فَضلِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَرزُقُ مَن يَشاءُ بِغَيرِ حِسابٍ

That Allah may reward them [according to] the best of what they did and increase them from His bounty. And Allah gives provision to whom He wills without account.

Saheeh International

But those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allah before Him, and He will pay him in full his due; and Allah is swift in account.
24:40
أَو كَظُلُمٰتٍ فى بَحرٍ لُجِّىٍّ يَغشىٰهُ مَوجٌ مِن فَوقِهِ مَوجٌ مِن فَوقِهِ سَحابٌ ۚ ظُلُمٰتٌ بَعضُها فَوقَ بَعضٍ إِذا أَخرَجَ يَدَهُ لَم يَكَد يَرىٰها ۗ وَمَن لَم يَجعَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ نورًا فَما لَهُ مِن نورٍ

Saheeh International

Or [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light.
24:41
أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَن فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ وَالطَّيرُ صٰفّٰتٍ ۖ كُلٌّ قَد عَلِمَ صَلاتَهُ وَتَسبيحَهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ بِما يَفعَلونَ

Saheeh International

Do you not see that Allah is exalted by whomever is within the heavens and the earth and [by] the birds with wings spread [in flight]? Each [of them] has known his [means of] prayer and exalting [Him], and Allah is Knowing of what they do.

Saheeh International

Do you not see that Allah drives clouds? Then He brings them together, then He makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lightening almost takes away the eyesight.
24:44
يُقَلِّبُ اللَّهُ الَّيلَ وَالنَّهارَ ۚ إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَعِبرَةً لِأُولِى الأَبصٰرِ

Saheeh International

Allah has created every [living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
24:46
لَقَد أَنزَلنا ءايٰتٍ مُبَيِّنٰتٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَهدى مَن يَشاءُ إِلىٰ صِرٰطٍ مُستَقيمٍ

We have certainly sent down distinct verses. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.
24:47
وَيَقولونَ ءامَنّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالرَّسولِ وَأَطَعنا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلّىٰ فَريقٌ مِنهُم مِن بَعدِ ذٰلِكَ ۚ وَما أُولٰئِكَ بِالمُؤمِنينَ

Saheeh International

But the hypocrites say, "We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger, and we obey"; then a party of them turns away after that. And those are not believers.

Saheeh International

Is there disease in their hearts? Or have they doubted? Or do they fear that Allah will be unjust to them, or His Messenger? Rather, it is they who are the wrongdoers.
24:51
إِنَّما كانَ قَولَ المُؤمِنينَ إِذا دُعوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ لِيَحكُمَ بَينَهُم أَن يَقولوا سَمِعنا وَأَطَعنا ۚ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

Saheeh International

The only statement of the [true] believers when they are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say, "We hear and we obey." And those are the successful.

۞ وَأَقسَموا بِاللَّهِ جَهدَ أَيمٰنِهِم لَئِن أَمَرتَهُم لَيَخرُجُنَّ ۖ قُل لا تُقسِموا ۖ طاعَةٌ مَعروفَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبيرٌ بِما تَعمَلونَ

And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths that if you ordered them, they would go forth [in Allah 's cause]. Say, "Do not swear. [Such] obedience is known. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with that which you do."
24:54
قُل أَطيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعُوا الرَّسولَ ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَإِنَّما عَلَيهِ ما حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيكُم ما حُمِّلتُم ۖ وَإِن تُطيعوهُ تَهتَدوا ۚ وَما عَلَى الرَّسولِ إِلَّا البَلٰغُ المُبينُ

Saheeh International

Say, "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification."
24:55
وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا مِنكُم وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَيَستَخلِفَنَّهُم فِى الأَرضِ كَمَا استَخلَفَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُم دينَهُمُ الَّذِى ارتَضىٰ لَهُم وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِن بَعدِ خَوفِهِم أَمنًا ۚ يَعبُدونَنى لا يُشرِكونَ بى شَيـًٔا ۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعدَ ذٰلِكَ فَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الفٰسِقونَ

Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.
24:56
وَأَقيمُوا الصَّلوٰةَ وَءاتُوا الزَّكوٰةَ وَأَطيعُوا الرَّسولَ لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ

Saheeh International

And establish prayer and give zakah and obey the Messenger - that you may receive mercy.
24:57
لا تَحسَبَنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مُعجِزينَ فِى الأَرضِ ۚ وَمَأوىٰهُمُ النّارُ ۖ وَلَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

Saheeh International

Never think that the disbelievers are causing failure [to Allah] upon the earth. Their refuge will be the Fire - and how wretched the destination.
24:58
يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا لِيَستَـٔذِنكُمُ الَّذينَ مَلَكَت أَيمٰنُكُم وَالَّذينَ لَم يَبلُغُوا الحُلُمَ مِنكُم ثَلٰثَ مَرّٰتٍ ۚ مِن قَبلِ صَلوٰةِ الفَجرِ وَحينَ تَضَعونَ ثِيابَكُم مِنَ الظَّهيرَةِ وَمِن بَعدِ صَلوٰةِ العِشاءِ ۚ ثَلٰثُ عَورٰتٍ لَكُم ۚ لَيسَ عَلَيكُم وَلا عَلَيهِم جُناحٌ بَعدَهُنَّ ۚ طَوّٰفونَ عَلَيكُم بَعضُكُم عَلىٰ بَعضٍ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الءايٰتِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

O you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.
24:59
وَإِذا بَلَغَ الأَطفٰلُ مِنكُمُ الحُلُمَ فَليَستَـٔذِنوا كَمَا استَـٔذَنَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُم ءايٰتِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

And when the children among you reach puberty, let them ask permission [at all times] as those before them have done. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.
24:60
وَالقَوٰعِدُ مِنَ النِّساءِ الّٰتى لا يَرجونَ نِكاحًا فَلَيسَ عَلَيهِنَّ جُناحٌ أَن يَضَعنَ ثِيابَهُنَّ غَيرَ مُتَبَرِّجٰتٍ بِزينَةٍ ۖ وَأَن يَستَعفِفنَ خَيرٌ لَهُنَّ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

Saheeh International

And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments [but] not displaying adornment. But to modestly refrain [from that] is better for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
24:61
لَيسَ عَلَى الأَعمىٰ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى الأَعرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى المَريضِ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِكُم أَن تَأكُلوا مِن بُيوتِكُم أَو بُيوتِ ءابائِكُم أَو بُيوتِ أُمَّهٰتِكُم أَو بُيوتِ إِخوٰنِكُم أَو بُيوتِ أَخَوٰتِكُم أَو بُيوتِ أَعمٰمِكُم أَو بُيوتِ عَمّٰتِكُم أَو بُيوتِ أَخوٰلِكُم أَو بُيوتِ خٰلٰتِكُم أَو ما مَلَكتُم مَفاتِحَهُ أَو صَديقِكُم ۚ لَيسَ عَلَيكُم جُناحٌ أَن تَأكُلوا جَميعًا أَو أَشتاتًا ۚ فَإِذا دَخَلتُم بُيوتًا فَسَلِّموا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِكُم تَحِيَّةً مِن عِندِ اللَّهِ مُبٰرَكَةً طَيِّبَةً ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الءايٰتِ لَعَلَّكُم تَعقِلونَ

There is not upon the blind [any] constraint nor upon the lame constraint nor upon the ill constraint nor upon yourselves when you eat from your [own] houses or the houses of your fathers or the houses of your mothers or the houses of your brothers or the houses of your sisters or the houses of your father's brothers or the houses of your father's sisters or the houses of your mother's brothers or the houses of your mother's sisters or [from houses] whose keys you possess or [from the house] of your friend. There is no blame upon you whether you eat together or separately. But when you enter houses, give greetings of peace upon each other - a greeting from Allah, blessed and good. Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses [of ordinance] that you may understand.
24:62
إِنَّمَا المُؤمِنونَ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ وَإِذا كانوا مَعَهُ عَلىٰ أَمرٍ جامِعٍ لَم يَذهَبوا حَتّىٰ يَستَـٔذِنوهُ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَستَـٔذِنونَكَ أُولٰئِكَ الَّذينَ يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ۚ فَإِذَا استَـٔذَنوكَ لِبَعضِ شَأنِهِم فَأذَن لِمَن شِئتَ مِنهُم وَاستَغفِر لَهُمُ اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Saheeh International

The believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger and, when they are [meeting] with him for a matter of common interest, do not depart until they have asked his permission. Indeed, those who ask your permission, [O Muhammad] - those are the ones who believe in Allah and His Messenger. So when they ask your permission for something of their affairs, then give permission to whom you will among them and ask forgiveness for them of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
24:63
لا تَجعَلوا دُعاءَ الرَّسولِ بَينَكُم كَدُعاءِ بَعضِكُم بَعضًا ۚ قَد يَعلَمُ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ يَتَسَلَّلونَ مِنكُم لِواذًا ۚ فَليَحذَرِ الَّذينَ يُخالِفونَ عَن أَمرِهِ أَن تُصيبَهُم فِتنَةٌ أَو يُصيبَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Saheeh International

Do not make [your] calling of the Messenger among yourselves as the call of one of you to another. Already Allah knows those of you who slip away, concealed by others. So let those beware who dissent from the Prophet's order, lest fitnah strike them or a painful punishment.
24:64
أَلا إِنَّ لِلَّهِ ما فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ قَد يَعلَمُ ما أَنتُم عَلَيهِ وَيَومَ يُرجَعونَ إِلَيهِ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِما عَمِلوا ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَليمٌ

Saheeh International

Unquestionably, to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. Already He knows that upon which you [stand] and [knows] the Day when they will be returned to Him and He will inform them of what they have done. And Allah is Knowing of all things.
