This is a chapter which We have sent down and decreed its commands, and in which We have sent down clear verses, in order that you may ponder.

A.R.Khan 24:1

2

The adulteress and the adulterer – punish each one of them with a hundred lashes; and may you not have pity on them in the religion to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day; and a group of believers must witness their punishment.

A.R.Khan 24:2

3

The adulterer shall not marry except an adulteress or a polytheist woman, and none shall marry an adulteress except an adulterer or a polytheist; and this is forbidden for the believers.

A.R.Khan 24:3

4

And those who accuse chaste women and do not bring four witnesses to testify – punish them with eighty lashes and do not ever accept their testimony; and it is they who are the wicked.

A.R.Khan 24:4

5

Except those who repent after this and reform themselves; so indeed Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.

A.R.Khan 24:5

6

And those who accuse their wives and do not have witnesses except their own statements – for such the testimony is that he bear the testimony four times by the name of Allah that he is truthful.

A.R.Khan 24:6

7

And the fifth time, that the curse of Allah be upon him if he is a liar.

A.R.Khan 24:7

8

And the punishment shall be averted from the woman if she bears the testimony four times by the name of Allah, that the man is a liar.

A.R.Khan 24:8

9

And the fifth time, that the wrath of Allah be upon her if the man is truthful.

A.R.Khan 24:9

10

And were it not for Allah’s munificence and His mercy upon you and that Allah is the Acceptor of Repentance, the Wise – He would then have unveiled you.

A.R.Khan 24:10

11

Indeed those who have brought this great accusation are a group from among you; do not consider it bad for you; on the contrary, it is good for you; for each man among them is the sin that he has earned; and for the one among them who played the greatest part in it – for him is a terrible punishment.

A.R.Khan 24:11

12

Why was it not that the believing men and women, when you heard it, thought good of their own people, and had said, “This is a clear accusation”?

A.R.Khan 24:12

13

Why did they not bring four witnesses upon it? Since they did not bring witnesses, they themselves are liars before Allah.

A.R.Khan 24:13

14

And were it not for Allah’s munificence and His mercy upon you in the world and in the Hereafter, a terrible punishment would have reached you for the discussions you fell into.

A.R.Khan 24:14

15

When you rumoured with your tongues after hearing such matters, and uttered with your mouths about which you had no knowledge, and you considered it light; and that, in the sight of Allah, is very great.

A.R.Khan 24:15

16

And why was it not that, when you heard it, you would have said, “It does not befit us to speak regarding this; Purity is to You, O Allah – this is a great accusation.”

A.R.Khan 24:16

17

Allah advises you never to speak like this again, if you have faith.

A.R.Khan 24:17

18

And Allah clearly explains the verses for you; and Allah is All Knowing, Wise.

A.R.Khan 24:18

19

Indeed those who wish that slander should spread among the Muslims – for them is a painful punishment in this world and in the Hereafter; and Allah knows, and you do not know.

A.R.Khan 24:19

20

And were it not for Allah’s munificence and His mercy upon you, and that Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful – you would have tasted its outcome.

A.R.Khan 24:20

21

O People who Believe! Do not follow the footsteps of the devil; and whoever follows the footsteps of the devil – so he will only bid the indecent and the evil; and were it not for Allah’s munificence and His mercy upon you, none of you would ever become pure – but Allah purifies whomever He wills; and Allah is All Hearing, All Knowing.

A.R.Khan 24:21

22

And may not those who possess superiority (in wealth) among you and possess capacity, swear not to give to the relatives and to the needy, and to immigrants in Allah's cause; and they should forgive and forbear; do you not like that Allah may forgive you? And Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.

A.R.Khan 24:22

23

Indeed those who accuse the innocent virtuous, believing women – upon them is a curse in this world and in the Hereafter; and for them is a terrible punishment.

A.R.Khan 24:23

24

On the day when their tongues and their hands and their feet will testify against them, regarding what they used to do.

A.R.Khan 24:24

25

On that day Allah will give them their true punishment, and they will know that Allah only is the Clear Truth.

A.R.Khan 24:25

26

Vile women for vile men, and vile men for vile women; and virtuous women for virtuous men, and virtuous men for virtuous women; such are innocent of what these people say; for them are forgiveness, and an honourable sustenance.

A.R.Khan 24:26

27

O People who Believe! Do not enter the houses except your own until you obtain permission and have conveyed peace upon its inhabitants; this is better for you, in order that you may ponder.

A.R.Khan 24:27

28

And if you do not find anyone in them, even then do not enter without the permission of their owners; and if it is said to you, “Go away” then go away – this is much purer for you; and Allah knows your deeds.

A.R.Khan 24:28

29

There is no sin upon you to enter houses not made especially for someone’s habitation, and you have permission for its use; and Allah knows what you disclose and what you hide.

A.R.Khan 24:29

30

Command the Muslim men to keep their gaze low and to protect their private organs; that is much purer for them; indeed Allah is Aware of their deeds.

A.R.Khan 24:30
