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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 24:4

5

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

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 24:6

7

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

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 24:8

9

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

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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"?

F.Haque 24:12

13

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

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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."

F.Haque 24:16

17

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

F.Haque 24:17

18

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

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 24:24

25

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

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.

F.Haque 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.
