(This is) a Sura (in Quran) which We have sent down and which We have enjoined its laws: And in it have We revealed clear Signs (verses), so that you may remember and receive warning (about the laws so enjoined).

S.V.Ahamed 24:1

2

The woman and the man guilty of adultery (unlawful sexual relations) severely whip each of them with a hundred stripes: Do not let kindness move you in their case In a matter that is already decided by Allah, if you (truly) believe in Allah and the Last Day: And let a party of the believers witness their punishment.

S.V.Ahamed 24:2

3

Let not any man guilty of adultery (unlawful sexual relations) marry anybody except a woman similarly guilty, or a disbeliever (woman): Let not any such guilty woman marry anybody except a man similarly guilty or a disbeliever (man): But such a thing (marriage to the guilty or to the disbelievers) is forbidden to the believers (men and women).

S.V.Ahamed 24:3

4

And those who start a charge against pure women, and do not have four witnesses (in support of the accusation) Severely whip them with eighty stripes; And do not ever accept their testimony afterwards: Because such men are wicked transgressors

S.V.Ahamed 24:4

5

Except those who repent afterwards and change and do righteous deeds verily, Allah is Often Forgiving (Ghafoor), Most Merciful (Raheem).

S.V.Ahamed 24:5

6

And for those who start a case (of adultery) against their wives, and do not have witnesses (in support) except their own (testimony) (Then, the) only evidence (from such a man is) if he testifies (under oath) four times, by Allah that he is honestly saying the truth;

S.V.Ahamed 24:6

7

And the fifth (oath should be) that he truly bring the curse of Allah upon himself if he is telling a lie.

S.V.Ahamed 24:7

8

But it would save the punishment on the wife, if she testifies (under oath) four times, by Allah, that (her husband) is telling a lie;

S.V.Ahamed 24:8

9

And the fifth (oath should be) that she truly brings the Anger of Allah upon herself if (her husband) is telling the truth.

S.V.Ahamed 24:9

10

If it was not because of Allah's grace and mercy upon you, (a painful penalty would have overtaken you): And Allah forgives and accepts repentance (Tawwab), Full of Wisdom (Hakeem).

S.V.Ahamed 24:10

11

Verily, those who brought out the slander (lie) are a group from yourselves: Do not think (of the incident) to be an evil for you; No! It is good for you: For every man from them (is the punishment) of the sin that he has earned, and for him who took on himself the lead from them, the penalty (for him) will be great.

S.V.Ahamed 24:11

12

Why then, did not the believers men and women When you heard of the incident Put the best reasons after it in their own minds and say, "This (slander) is an open lie?"

S.V.Ahamed 24:12

13

Why did they (the accusers) not bring four witnesses to prove it (the blame)? When they have not brought the witnesses: In the Sight of Allah, such men (hold) themselves as liars!

S.V.Ahamed 24:13

14

If it was not because of the grace and mercy of Allah on you, in this world and the Hereafter, a painful penalty would have caught you because you so easily spoke about this affair.

S.V.Ahamed 24:14

15

When you move it forward with your tongues, and said from your mouths things of which you had no knowledge; And you thought it to be a light matter, when it was most serious in the Sight of Allah.

S.V.Ahamed 24:15

16

And why did you not, when you heard it, say "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to Allah! This is a most serious lie (against any person)!"

S.V.Ahamed 24:16

17

Allah does warn and forbids you, that you may never repeat such (actions), if you are true believers.

S.V.Ahamed 24:17

18

And Allah makes the Signs plain (and clear) to you: And Allah is All Knowing, (Aleem), All Wise (Hakeem).

S.V.Ahamed 24:18

19

Verily, those who love (to see) lies circulated openly among the believers, they will have a painful penalty in this life and in the hereafter: And Allah knows, and you do not know.

S.V.Ahamed 24:19

20

If it was not because of Allah's grace and mercy upon you, and that Allah is full of kindness (Ra'uf), Most Merciful (Raheem); (You would be truly lost).

S.V.Ahamed 24:20

21

O you who believe! Do not follow Satan's footsteps: If any will follow the footsteps of Satan's, verily, he will command what is shameful and wrong: And if it was not because of Allah's grace and mercy upon you, not (even) one of you would ever have been pure: But Allah does purify whomsoever He pleases: And Allah is All Hearing (Sami'), All Knowing (Aleem).

S.V.Ahamed 24:21

22

And let not those from you who are blessed with grace and abundance of means resolve by oath against helping their relatives, those in want, and poor and those who have left their homes in Allah's cause: Let them forgive and overlook, do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Often Forgiving (Ghafoor), Most Merciful (Raheem).

S.V.Ahamed 24:22

23

Verily, those who spread accusations (about the character of) chaste believing women, who are (truly) pure (in their character) Are cursed in this life, and in the Hereafter: And for them is a painful penalty

S.V.Ahamed 24:23

24

On the Day when their tongues, their hands, and their legs will bear witness (and speak out) against them about their actions.

S.V.Ahamed 24:24

25

On that Day, Allah will pay them back (all) their dues in full, and they will realize that Allah is the (Very) Clearest Truth (Al-Haq-ul-Mubeen).

S.V.Ahamed 24:25

26

Bad words are for bad people; [Disbelieving (or impure) women for disbelieving (or impure) men], bad people are for bad words; [Disbelieving (or impure) men for disbelieving (or impure) women], good words are for good people; [Also implied is that good women are for good men;] good people are for good words; [Also implied is that good men are for good women;] such are the (truly) innocent of the bad words they say: For them there is forgiveness, and a honored provision.

S.V.Ahamed 24:26

27

O you who believe! Do not enter houses other than your own, until you have asked for permission (to enter) and greeted those (who are) inside them: That is best for you, so that you may remember.

S.V.Ahamed 24:27

28

And if you find no one in there (the house), still do not enter until permission is given to you: And if you are asked to go back, go back: That makes for greater (piety) purity for yourselves: And Allah is All Knowing (Aleem) of all that you do.

S.V.Ahamed 24:28

29

It is not a fault on your part to enter houses not used for living (or uninhabited), (but) which serve some (other) use for you: And Allah has knowledge of what you say and what you hide.

S.V.Ahamed 24:29

30

Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their shyness (and looks) and protect themselves and their privacy (from illicit sex): That will make for greater purity for them: Verily, Allah is familiar with all that they do.

S.V.Ahamed 24:30
