This is a chapter which We have sent down and appointed; and in it We have sent down clear verses in order that you will remember.
2
You shall lash the fornicatress and the fornicator each with a hundred lashes. In the religion of Allah, let no tenderness for them seize you if you believe in Allah and the Last Day; and let their punishment be witnessed by a party of believers.
3
The fornicator shall marry none but a fornicatress or an idolatress; and the fornicatress none shall marry her but a fornicator or an idolater; that is forbidden to the believers.
4
Those who accuse chaste women, and cannot produce four witnesses, you shall lash them with eighty lashes. And never accept their testimony, for they are evildoers,
5
except those among them that afterwards repent and mend their ways. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
6
And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves, let them testify by swearing by Allah four times that he is of the truthful,
7
and the fifth time, that the curse of Allah shall be upon him, if he should be of the liars.
8
But the punishment will be averted from her if she swears four times that he is of the liars,
9
and on the fifth time the Wrath of Allah shall be upon her if he is of the truthful.
10
If it were not for the bounty of Allah to you and His Mercy, and that Allah turns, and is the Wise,
11
those who came with the slander were a number of you. Do not regard it evil for you, rather it is good for you. Every person of them shall have the sin that he has earned charged to him. As for he who took upon himself the greater part there is a mightier punishment.
12
Had you heard it, and the believing men and women, thought good thoughts about one another said: 'This is a clear falsehood'
13
Why, did they not bring four witnesses against it? But since they did not bring the witnesses, before Allah they are the liars.
14
But for the bounty of Allah and His Mercy towards you in this life and in the Everlasting Life you would have been sternly punished for that which you were involved.
15
You carried with your tongues and uttered with your mouths what you did not know. You have thought it a trifle, but before Allah it was a mighty thing.
16
When you heard it, why did you not say: 'It is not right for us to speak of this. Exaltations to You! This is a mighty slander'
17
Allah exhorts you never again to repeat the like, if you are believers.
18
Allah makes plain to you His verses, and Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
19
Those who love that indecency should be broadcast about those who believe theirs is a painful punishment in this world and in the Everlasting Life. Allah knows, and you do not know.
20
If it was not for the bounty of Allah to you and His Mercy, and Allah is the Gentle, the Most Merciful.
21
Believers, do not follow in the steps of satan, for those who follow the steps of satan, he bids to indecency and dishonor. But for the bounty of Allah to you, and His Mercy no one of you would ever have been purified; but Allah purifies whom He will; Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
22
Do not let those of you who possess bounty and plenty swear not to give kinsmen, and the poor, and those who emigrate in the way of Allah. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not yearn that Allah forgives you? And Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
23
Surely, those who defame chaste, unsuspecting, believing women, shall be cursed in this world and in the Everlasting Life, and for them there is a mightypunishment.
24
On the Day when their tongues, hands and feet shall testify against them concerning what they were doing.
25
Upon that Day Allah will pay them their due in full, and they will know that Allah is the clear truth.
26
Evil women for evil men, and evil men for evil women; good women for good men, and good men for good women these are clear of what has been said; for them is forgiveness, and a generous provision.
27
Believers, do not enter houses other than your houses until you first ask permission and greet with peace the people thereof; that is better for you in order that you remember.
28
And if you do not find anyone there, do not enter it until permission is given to you. And if you are told 'Return', so return, that is purer for you; and Allah knows the things you do.
29
There is no fault in you that you enter uninhabited houses wherein there is benefit for you. Allah knows what you reveal and what you hide.
30
Say to the believers they should lower their gaze and guard their private parts that is purer for them. Allah is Aware of the things they do.
