A sura We have sent down and imposed. We have sent down Clear Signs in it so that hopefully you will pay heed.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:1

2

A woman and a man who commit fornication: flog both of them with one hundred lashes and do not let compassion for either of them possess you where Allah's deen is concerned, if you have iman in Allah and the Last Day. A number of muminun should witness their punishment.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:2

3

A man who has fornicated may only marry a woman who has fornicated or a woman of the idolaters. A woman who has fornicated may only marry a man who has fornicated or a man of the idolaters. Doing such a thing is haram for the muminun.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:3

But those who make accusations against chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses: flog them with eighty lashes and never again accept them as witnesses. Such people are deviators –

Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy ...and that Allah is Ever-Returning, All-Wise.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:10

11

There is a group of you who propagated the lie. Do not suppose it to be bad for you; rather it is good for you. Every one of them will incur the evil he has earned and the one who took it on himself to amplify it will receive a terrible punishment.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:11

12

Why, when you heard it, did you not, as men and women of the muminun, instinctively think good thoughts and say, 'This is obviously a lie'?

H.Abdalhaqq 24:12

Why did they not produce four witnesses to it? Since they did not bring four witnesses, in Allah's sight, they are liars.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:13

14

Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy, both in this world and the Next World, a terrible punishment would have afflicted you for your plunging headlong into it.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:14

You were bandying it about on your tongues, your mouths uttering something about which you had no knowledge. You considered it to be a trivial matter, but, in Allah's sight, it is immense.

Why, when you heard it, did you not say, 'We have no business speaking about this. Glory be to You! This is a terrible slander!'?

Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy . . . and that Allah is All-Gentle, Most Merciful.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:20

21

You who have iman! do not follow in the footsteps of Shaytan. Anyone who follows in Shaytan's footsteps should know that he commands indecency and wrongdoing. Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy, not one of you would ever have been purified. But Allah purifies whoever He wills. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:21

22

Those of you possessing affluence and ample wealth should not make oaths that they will not give to their relatives and the very poor and those who have made hijra in the way of Allah. They should rather pardon and overlook. Would you not love Allah to forgive you? Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:22

Those who accuse women who are chaste, but who are careless and yet have iman, are cursed both in this world and the Next World, and they will have a terrible punishment

You who have iman! do not enter houses other than your own until you have asked permission and greeted their inhabitants. That is better for you, so that hopefully you will pay heed.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:27

And if you find no one at home do not go in until permission has been granted you. And if you are told to go away then go away. That is purer for you. Allah knows what you do.

H.Abdalhaqq 24:28

29

There is nothing wrong in your entering houses where no one lives and where there is some service for you. Allah knows what you divulge and what you conceal.

Say to the muminun that they should lower their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Allah is aware of what they do.
