In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. (Here is) a surah which We have revealed and enjoined, and wherein We have revealed plain tokens, that haply ye may take heed.
Arabic
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم سورة أنزلناها وفرضناها وأنزلنا فيها آيات بينات لعلكم تذكرون
The adulterer and the adulteress, scourge ye each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of believers witness their punishment.
Arabic
الزانية والزاني فاجلدوا كل واحد منهما مائة جلدة ۖ ولا تأخذكم بهما رأفة في دين الله إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر ۖ وليشهد عذابهما طائفة من المؤمنين
The adulterer shall not marry save an adulteress or an idolatress, and the adulteress none shall marry save an adulterer or an idolater. All that is forbidden unto believers.
Arabic
الزاني لا ينكح إلا زانية أو مشركة والزانية لا ينكحها إلا زان أو مشرك ۚ وحرم ذلك على المؤمنين
And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony - They indeed are evil - doers -
Arabic
والذين يرمون المحصنات ثم لم يأتوا بأربعة شهداء فاجلدوهم ثمانين جلدة ولا تقبلوا لهم شهادة أبدا ۚ وأولئك هم الفاسقون
As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses except themselves; let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies, (swearing) by Allah that he is of those who speak the truth;
Arabic
والذين يرمون أزواجهم ولم يكن لهم شهداء إلا أنفسهم فشهادة أحدهم أربع شهادات بالله ۙ إنه لمن الصادقين
Lo! they who spread the slander are a gang among you. Deem it not a bad thing for you; nay, it is good for you. Unto every man of them (will be paid) that which he hath earned of the sin; and as for him among them who had the greater share therein, his will be an awful doom.
Arabic
إن الذين جاءوا بالإفك عصبة منكم ۚ لا تحسبوه شرا لكم ۖ بل هو خير لكم ۚ لكل امرئ منهم ما اكتسب من الإثم ۚ والذي تولى كبره منهم له عذاب عظيم
Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you in the world and the Hereafter an awful doom had overtaken you for that whereof ye murmured.
Arabic
ولولا فضل الله عليكم ورحمته في الدنيا والآخرة لمسكم في ما أفضتم فيه عذاب عظيم
When ye welcomed it with your tongues, and uttered with your mouths that whereof ye had no knowledge, ye counted it a trifle. In the sight of Allah it is very great.
Arabic
إذ تلقونه بألسنتكم وتقولون بأفواهكم ما ليس لكم به علم وتحسبونه هينا وهو عند الله عظيم
Lo! those who love that slander should be spread concerning those who believe, theirs will be a painful punishment in the world and the Hereafter. Allah knoweth. Ye know not.
Arabic
إن الذين يحبون أن تشيع الفاحشة في الذين آمنوا لهم عذاب أليم في الدنيا والآخرة ۚ والله يعلم وأنتم لا تعلمون
O ye who believe! Follow not the footsteps of the devil. Unto whomsoever followeth the footsteps of the devil, lo! he commandeth filthiness and wrong. Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, not one of you would ever have grown pure. But Allah causeth whom He will to grow. And Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Arabic
۞ يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تتبعوا خطوات الشيطان ۚ ومن يتبع خطوات الشيطان فإنه يأمر بالفحشاء والمنكر ۚ ولولا فضل الله عليكم ورحمته ما زكى منكم من أحد أبدا ولكن الله يزكي من يشاء ۗ والله سميع عليم
And let not those who possess dignity and ease among you swear not to give to the near of kin and to the needy, and to fugitives for the cause of Allah. Let them forgive and show indulgence. Yearn ye not that Allah may forgive you ? Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
ولا يأتل أولو الفضل منكم والسعة أن يؤتوا أولي القربى والمساكين والمهاجرين في سبيل الله ۖ وليعفوا وليصفحوا ۗ ألا تحبون أن يغفر الله لكم ۗ والله غفور رحيم
Lo! as for those who traduce virtuous, believing women (who are) careless, cursed are they in the world and the Hereafter. Theirs will be an awful doom
Arabic
إن الذين يرمون المحصنات الغافلات المؤمنات لعنوا في الدنيا والآخرة ولهم عذاب عظيم
Vile women are for vile men, and vile men for vile women. Good women are for good men, and good men for good women; such are innocent of that which people say: For them is pardon and a bountiful provision.
Arabic
الخبيثات للخبيثين والخبيثون للخبيثات ۖ والطيبات للطيبين والطيبون للطيبات ۚ أولئك مبرءون مما يقولون ۖ لهم مغفرة ورزق كريم
O ye who believe! Enter not houses other than your own without first announcing your presence and invoking peace upon the folk thereof. That is better for you, that ye may be heedful.
Arabic
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تدخلوا بيوتا غير بيوتكم حتى تستأنسوا وتسلموا على أهلها ۚ ذلكم خير لكم لعلكم تذكرون
And if ye find no - one therein, still enter not until permission hath been given. And if it be said unto you: Go away again, then go away, for it is purer for you. Allah knoweth what ye do.
Arabic
فإن لم تجدوا فيها أحدا فلا تدخلوها حتى يؤذن لكم ۖ وإن قيل لكم ارجعوا فارجعوا ۖ هو أزكى لكم ۚ والله بما تعملون عليم
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands' fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigour, or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that ye may succeed.
Arabic
وقل للمؤمنات يغضضن من أبصارهن ويحفظن فروجهن ولا يبدين زينتهن إلا ما ظهر منها ۖ وليضربن بخمرهن على جيوبهن ۖ ولا يبدين زينتهن إلا لبعولتهن أو آبائهن أو آباء بعولتهن أو أبنائهن أو أبناء بعولتهن أو إخوانهن أو بني إخوانهن أو بني أخواتهن أو نسائهن أو ما ملكت أيمانهن أو التابعين غير أولي الإربة من الرجال أو الطفل الذين لم يظهروا على عورات النساء ۖ ولا يضربن بأرجلهن ليعلم ما يخفين من زينتهن ۚ وتوبوا إلى الله جميعا أيه المؤمنون لعلكم تفلحون
And marry such of you as are solitary and the pious of your slaves and maid - servants. If they be poor, Allah will enrich them of His bounty. Allah is of ample means, Aware.
Arabic
وأنكحوا الأيامى منكم والصالحين من عبادكم وإمائكم ۚ إن يكونوا فقراء يغنهم الله من فضله ۗ والله واسع عليم
And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave - girls to whoredom that ye may seek enjoyment of the life of the world, if they would preserve their chastity. And if one force them, then (unto them), after their compulsion, lo! Allah will be Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
وليستعفف الذين لا يجدون نكاحا حتى يغنيهم الله من فضله ۗ والذين يبتغون الكتاب مما ملكت أيمانكم فكاتبوهم إن علمتم فيهم خيرا ۖ وآتوهم من مال الله الذي آتاكم ۚ ولا تكرهوا فتياتكم على البغاء إن أردن تحصنا لتبتغوا عرض الحياة الدنيا ۚ ومن يكرههن فإن الله من بعد إكراههن غفور رحيم
And verily We have sent down for you revelations that make plain, and the example of those who passed away before you. An admonition unto those who ward off (evil).
Arabic
ولقد أنزلنا إليكم آيات مبينات ومثلا من الذين خلوا من قبلكم وموعظة للمتقين
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star. (This lamp is) kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon light. Allah guideth unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories, for Allah is Knower of all things.
Arabic
۞ الله نور السماوات والأرض ۚ مثل نوره كمشكاة فيها مصباح ۖ المصباح في زجاجة ۖ الزجاجة كأنها كوكب دري يوقد من شجرة مباركة زيتونة لا شرقية ولا غربية يكاد زيتها يضيء ولو لم تمسسه نار ۚ نور على نور ۗ يهدي الله لنوره من يشاء ۚ ويضرب الله الأمثال للناس ۗ والله بكل شيء عليم
(This lamp is found) in houses which Allah hath allowed to be exalted and that His name shall be remembered therein. Therein do offer praise to Him at morn and evening.
Arabic
في بيوت أذن الله أن ترفع ويذكر فيها اسمه يسبح له فيها بالغدو والآصال
Men whom neither merchandise nor sale beguileth from remembrance of Allah and constancy in prayer and paying to the poor their due; who fear a day when hearts and eyeballs will be overturned;
Arabic
رجال لا تلهيهم تجارة ولا بيع عن ذكر الله وإقام الصلاة وإيتاء الزكاة ۙ يخافون يوما تتقلب فيه القلوب والأبصار
That Allah may reward them with the best of what they did, and increase reward for them of His bounty. Allah giveth blessings without stint to whom He will.
Arabic
ليجزيهم الله أحسن ما عملوا ويزيدهم من فضله ۗ والله يرزق من يشاء بغير حساب
As for those who disbelieve, their deeds are as a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one supposeth it to be water till he cometh unto it and findeth it naught, and findeth, in the place thereof, Allah Who payeth him his due; and Allah is swift at reckoning.
Arabic
والذين كفروا أعمالهم كسراب بقيعة يحسبه الظمآن ماء حتى إذا جاءه لم يجده شيئا ووجد الله عنده فوفاه حسابه ۗ والله سريع الحساب
Or as darkness on a vast, abysmal sea. There covereth him a wave, above which is a wave, above which is a cloud. Layer upon layer of darkness. When he holdeth out his hand he scarce can see it. And he for whom Allah hath not appointed light, for him there is no light.
Arabic
أو كظلمات في بحر لجي يغشاه موج من فوقه موج من فوقه سحاب ۚ ظلمات بعضها فوق بعض إذا أخرج يده لم يكد يراها ۗ ومن لم يجعل الله له نورا فما له من نور
Hast thou not seen that Allah, He it is Whom all who are in the heavens and the earth praise, and the birds in their flight ? Of each He knoweth verily the worship and the praise; and Allah is Aware of what they do.
Arabic
ألم تر أن الله يسبح له من في السماوات والأرض والطير صافات ۖ كل قد علم صلاته وتسبيحه ۗ والله عليم بما يفعلون
Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the clouds, then gathereth them, then maketh them layers, and thou seest the rain come forth from between them; He sendeth down from the heaven mountains wherein is hail, and smiteth therewith whom He will, and averteth it from whom He will. The flashing of His lightning all but snatcheth away the sight.
Arabic
ألم تر أن الله يزجي سحابا ثم يؤلف بينه ثم يجعله ركاما فترى الودق يخرج من خلاله وينزل من السماء من جبال فيها من برد فيصيب به من يشاء ويصرفه عن من يشاء ۖ يكاد سنا برقه يذهب بالأبصار
Allah hath created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind) that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
Arabic
والله خلق كل دابة من ماء ۖ فمنهم من يمشي على بطنه ومنهم من يمشي على رجلين ومنهم من يمشي على أربع ۚ يخلق الله ما يشاء ۚ إن الله على كل شيء قدير
Is there in their hearts a disease, or have they doubts, or fear they lest Allah and His messenger should wrong them in judgment ? Nay, but such are evil - doers.
Arabic
أفي قلوبهم مرض أم ارتابوا أم يخافون أن يحيف الله عليهم ورسوله ۚ بل أولئك هم الظالمون
The saying of (all true) believers when they appeal unto Allah and His messenger to judge between them is only that they say: We hear and we obey. And such are the .
Arabic
إنما كان قول المؤمنين إذا دعوا إلى الله ورسوله ليحكم بينهم أن يقولوا سمعنا وأطعنا ۚ وأولئك هم المفلحون
Say: Obey Allah and obey the messenger. But if ye turn away, then (it is) for him (to do) only that wherewith he hath been charged, and for you (to do) only that wherewith ye have been charged. If ye obey him, ye will go aright. But the messenger hath no other charge than to convey (the message) plainly.
Arabic
قل أطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول ۖ فإن تولوا فإنما عليه ما حمل وعليكم ما حملتم ۖ وإن تطيعوه تهتدوا ۚ وما على الرسول إلا البلاغ المبين
Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.
Arabic
وعد الله الذين آمنوا منكم وعملوا الصالحات ليستخلفنهم في الأرض كما استخلف الذين من قبلهم وليمكنن لهم دينهم الذي ارتضى لهم وليبدلنهم من بعد خوفهم أمنا ۚ يعبدونني لا يشركون بي شيئا ۚ ومن كفر بعد ذلك فأولئك هم الفاسقون
O ye who believe! Let your slaves, and those of you who have not come to puberty, ask leave of you at three times (before they come into your presence): Before the prayer of dawn, and when ye lay aside your raiment for the heat of noon, and after the prayer of night. Three times of privacy for you. It is no sin for them or for you at other times, when some of you go round attendant upon others (if they come into your presence without leave). Thus Allah maketh clear the revelations for you. Allah is Knower, Wise.
Arabic
يا أيها الذين آمنوا ليستأذنكم الذين ملكت أيمانكم والذين لم يبلغوا الحلم منكم ثلاث مرات ۚ من قبل صلاة الفجر وحين تضعون ثيابكم من الظهيرة ومن بعد صلاة العشاء ۚ ثلاث عورات لكم ۚ ليس عليكم ولا عليهم جناح بعدهن ۚ طوافون عليكم بعضكم على بعض ۚ كذلك يبين الله لكم الآيات ۗ والله عليم حكيم
And when the children among you come to puberty then let them ask leave even as those before them used to ask it. Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations for you. Allah is Knower, Wise.
Arabic
وإذا بلغ الأطفال منكم الحلم فليستأذنوا كما استأذن الذين من قبلهم ۚ كذلك يبين الله لكم آياته ۗ والله عليم حكيم
As for women past child - bearing, who have no hope of marriage, it is no sin for them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show adornment. But to refrain is better for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower.

والقواعد من النساء اللاتي لا يرجون نكاحا فليس عليهن جناح أن يضعن ثيابهن غير متبرجات بزينة ۖ وأن يستعففن خير لهن ۗ والله سميع عليم
No blame is there upon the blind nor any blame upon the lame nor any blame upon the sick nor on yourselves if ye eat from your houses, or the houses of your fathers, or the houses of your mothers, or the houses of your brothers, or the houses of your sisters, or the houses of your fathers' brothers, or the houses of your fathers' sisters, or the houses of your mothers' brothers, or the houses of your mothers' sisters, or (from that) whereof ye hold the keys, or (from the house) of a friend. No sin shall it be for you whether ye eat together or apart. But when ye enter houses, salute one another with a greeting from Allah, blessed and sweet. Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations for you, that haply ye may understand.
Arabic
ليس على الأعمى حرج ولا على الأعرج حرج ولا على المريض حرج ولا على أنفسكم أن تأكلوا من بيوتكم أو بيوت آبائكم أو بيوت أمهاتكم أو بيوت إخوانكم أو بيوت أخواتكم أو بيوت أعمامكم أو بيوت عماتكم أو بيوت أخوالكم أو بيوت خالاتكم أو ما ملكتم مفاتحه أو صديقكم ۚ ليس عليكم جناح أن تأكلوا جميعا أو أشتاتا ۚ فإذا دخلتم بيوتا فسلموا على أنفسكم تحية من عند الله مباركة طيبة ۚ كذلك يبين الله لكم الآيات لعلكم تعقلون
They only are the true believers who believe in Allah and His messenger and, when they are with him on some common errand, go not away until they have asked leave of him. Lo! those who ask leave of thee, those are they who believe in Allah and His messenger. So, if they ask thy leave for some affair of theirs, give leave to whom thou wilt of them, and ask for them forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
إنما المؤمنون الذين آمنوا بالله ورسوله وإذا كانوا معه على أمر جامع لم يذهبوا حتى يستأذنوه ۚ إن الذين يستأذنونك أولئك الذين يؤمنون بالله ورسوله ۚ فإذا استأذنوك لبعض شأنهم فأذن لمن شئت منهم واستغفر لهم الله ۚ إن الله غفور رحيم
Make not the calling of the messenger among you as your calling one of another. Allah knoweth those of you who steal away, hiding themselves. And let those who conspire to evade orders beware lest grief or painful punishment befall them.

لا تجعلوا دعاء الرسول بينكم كدعاء بعضكم بعضا ۚ قد يعلم الله الذين يتسللون منكم لواذا ۚ فليحذر الذين يخالفون عن أمره أن تصيبهم فتنة أو يصيبهم عذاب أليم
Lo! verily unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. He knoweth your condition. And (He knoweth) the Day when they are returned unto Him so that He may inform them of what they did. Allah is Knower of all things.

ألا إن لله ما في السماوات والأرض ۖ قد يعلم ما أنتم عليه ويوم يرجعون إليه فينبئهم بما عملوا ۗ والله بكل شيء عليم
