A.R.Omar · MealMerkezi.Net

1

(This is) a (highly dignified) Sûrah which We have revealed and (the ordinances of) which We have made obligatory and We have revealed in it clear commandments so that you may rise to great eminence.

A.R.Omar 24:1

2

Strike the fornicatress and adulteress and the fornicator and adulterer on the body of each one of them a hundred times. (This is the extreme limit,) and let no feelings of pity for the two hold you from obedience to Allâh (in executing His judgment), if you believe in Allâh and the Last Day. And let a section of the believers be present (there at the time of the execution of) their punishment.

A.R.Omar 24:2

3

The fornicator and adulterer cannot have sexual relations (without lawful marriage) except with a fornicatress and adulteress or polytheistic woman (of low morality), and the fornicatress and adulteress, none can have sexual relations with her except a fornicator and adulterer or a polytheistic man (of low morality). And this (adultery and fornication) is forbidden to the believers.

A.R.Omar 24:3

4

Strike eighty times on the bodies of those who calumniate chaste women and who do not support (their accusation) with four witnesses, and never accept their testimony (because) it is they who are the disobedient (and break the law);

A.R.Omar 24:4

5

Except those who repent after this and make amends, they will find Allâh Great Protector, Ever Merciful.

A.R.Omar 24:5

6

And those who charge their wives of adultery and have no witnesses (to support their charge) except their own selves, let each (husband) bear testimony (repeating it) four times over calling Allâh to witness that he is surely of those who speak the truth in (the matter of) charging his wife (of adultery).

A.R.Omar 24:6

7

And the fifth (time he should say on oath) that Allâh's wrath be upon him if he be of the liars.

A.R.Omar 24:7

8

But it shall avert the punishment from her (the wife) if she calling Allâh to witness testifies four times over that he is of the liars (in bringing this charge against her).

A.R.Omar 24:8

9

And the fifth (time she should say on oath) that the wrath of Allâh be upon her if he (her husband) has spoken the truth (about her).

A.R.Omar 24:9

10

But for Allâh's grace and His mercy (which rests) upon you and (but for the fact) that Allâh is Oft-Returning (with compassion), All-Wise (you would have come to grief).

A.R.Omar 24:10

11

Verily, those (hypocrites) who brought the false accusation (against âishah, the wife of the Prophet), are a section of your own people. Do not think this (incident) to be bad for you, rather it is good for you. (As for the accusers,) everyone of them shall receive (his due punishment according to) that which he has accomplished in the form) of sin. As for him (Abdullâh bin Ubayy bin Salûl) who among them took the principal part thereof (in fabricating and spreading malicious scandal against her) there awaits him a grievous punishment.

A.R.Omar 24:11

12

When you heard of this (accusation) why did not the believing men and believing women have a better opinion in respect of their own people and say, 'This (charge) is an obvious lie?'

A.R.Omar 24:12

13

Why did they (the fabricators of this charge) not bring four witnesses in support of this (accusation of theirs)? Since they failed to produce the (required) witnesses, it is they who are the very liars in the sight of Allâh.

A.R.Omar 24:13

14

But for the fact that Allâh has shown His grace and mercy to you in the present world, and in the next a great punishment would have certainly befallen you on account of that (slander) which you spread.

A.R.Omar 24:14

15

When (some of) you began to learn this (slander) from each others tongues, you gave tongue to that (rumour and made statements) of which you had no knowledge; and you considered it a trivial thing while it was grave in the sight of Allâh.

A.R.Omar 24:15

16

And why did you not say as soon as you heard of it, 'It does not behove us to talk like this. Holy are You (O Gracious God). This is a monstrous calumny,'

A.R.Omar 24:16

17

If you are (true) believers (you should bear in mind that) Allâh admonishes you never to repeat such a thing again.

A.R.Omar 24:17

18

And Allâh explains to you (His) commandments and Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

A.R.Omar 24:18

19

Those who love to spread immorality among the disbelievers, will have a woeful punishment in this world and the next. And Allâh knows while you do not know (the consequences of this evil).

A.R.Omar 24:19

20

But for the grace of Allâh and His mercy (that rests) upon you and (but for the fact) that Allâh is most Compassionate, Ever Merciful (none of you would have ever been so chaste and pure).

A.R.Omar 24:20

21

O you who believe! do not follow the footsteps of satan. He that follows the footsteps of satan (should remember that) he (satan) surely enjoins immorality and indecency. But for the grace of Allâh and His mercy (that rests) upon you, not one of you would ever have been pure, but Allâh purifies him who wishes (to be purified). And Allâh is All-Hearing, All- Knowing.

A.R.Omar 24:21

22

And let not those of you who are possessed of grace (with moral virtue) and of plenty (of riches like Abû Bakr) swear that they will give nothing to the kindred, the needy and those who have left their homes for the cause of Allâh, but let them forgive and forbear (the offence). Do you not desire that Allâh should protect you (against your faults)? And Allâh is Great Protector, Ever Merciful.

A.R.Omar 24:22

23

Those who calumniate chaste, unwary, innocent believing women stand cursed in the present life and the Hereafter, and there awaits them a grievous punishment.

A.R.Omar 24:23

24

On the Day (of Requital) when their tongues and their hands and their feet shall bear witness against them for the (evil) deeds they used to do.

A.R.Omar 24:24

25

On that Day Allâh will pay them in full their just dues and they shall know that Allâh alone is the Absolute Truth, (and as well makes the Truth) manifest.

A.R.Omar 24:25

26

The evil and impure deeds are (a characteristic) of impure people and the bad and impure people are (inclined) towards the bad and impure deeds. Similarly good and pure deeds are (a characteristic) of good and pure people and the good and pure people are (inclined) towards good and pure deeds. It is they (the good and pure) who are innocent of all that they (the accusers) may allege (about them). There awaits them protection and an honourable and generous provision.

A.R.Omar 24:26

27

O you who believe! do not enter houses other than your own unless you have obtained willing permission and (mind!) you should greet the inmates of these (houses). That is better for you. You have been given this commandment that you may be heedful.

A.R.Omar 24:27

28

But if you find nobody in them do not enter therein, unless you have got (from the owners or the rightful care-taker previous) permission. And go back if you are told to go back, that would be pure and best for you. Indeed, Allâh is Well-Aware of all that you do.

A.R.Omar 24:28

29

It is no sin on your part to enter (freely) non-residential houses wherein your goods are lying. And Allâh knows all that you profess and all that you conceal.

A.R.Omar 24:29

30

Tell the believers to restrain their looks (in the presence of women not closely related to them and so lawful for marriage) and guard their chastity. That is purer and best for them. Surely, Allâh is Well-Aware of what they do.

A.R.Omar 24:30
