24:1   A Surah - We (have) sent it down and We (have) made it obligatory, and We (have) revealed therein Verses clear, so that you may take heed.

24:2   The fornicatress and the fornicator, [then] flog each one of them (with) hundred lash(es). And (let) not withhold you for them pity concerning (the) religion (of) Allah if you believe in Allah and the Day the Last. And let witness their punishment a group of the believers.

24:3   The fornicator (will) not marry except a fornicatress, or a polytheist woman, and the fornicatress - (will) not marry her except a fornicator or a polytheist man. And is forbidden that to the believers.

24:4   And those who accuse the chaste women, then not they bring four witnesses, then flog them (with) eighty lashe(s) and (do) not accept their testimony ever. And those, they (are) the defiantly disobedient,

24:5   Except those who repent from after that and reform. Then indeed, Allah (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

24:6   And those who accuse their spouses and not have for them witnesses except themselves, then (the) testimony (of) one of them (is) four testimonies by Allah, that he (is) surely of the truthful.

24:7   And the fifth that (the) curse (of) Allah (be) upon him if he is of the liars.

24:8   But it would prevent from her the punishment that she bears witness four testimonies by Allah that he (is) surely of the liars.

24:9   And the fifth, that the wrath (of) Allah (be) upon her if he is of the truthful.

24:10   And if not (for) the Grace (of) Allah upon you and His Mercy - and that, Allah (is) Oft-Returning (to Mercy), All-Wise.

24:11   Indeed, those who brought the lie (are) a group among you. (Do) not think it bad for you; nay, it (is) good for you. For every person among them (is) what he earned of the sin, and the one who took upon himself a greater share of it among them - for him (is) a punishment great.

24:12   Why not, when you heard it, think the believing men and the believing women of themselves good and say, "This (is) a lie clear?"

24:13   Why (did) not they bring for it four witnesses? Then when not they brought the witnesses, then those near Allah, they (are) the liars.

24:14   And if not (for the) Grace (of) Allah upon you and His Mercy in the world and the Hereafter, surely would have touched you in what you had rushed glibly concerning it a punishment great.

24:15   When you received it with your tongues and you said with your mouths what not for you of it any knowledge, and you thought it (was) insignificant, while it (was) near Allah great.

24:16   And why not, when you heard it, you said, "Not it is for us that we speak of this. Glory be to You! This (is) a slander great?"

24:17   warns you Allah that you return (to the) like of it ever, if you are believers.

24:18   And makes clear Allah to you the Verses. And Allah (is) All-Knower, All-Wise.

24:19   Indeed, those who like that (should) spread the immorality among those who believe, for them (is) a punishment painful in the world and the Hereafter. And Allah knows, while you (do) not know.

24:20   And if not (for the) Grace (of) Allah upon you and His Mercy. And that Allah (is) Full of Kindness, Most Merciful.

24:21   O you who believe! (Do) not follow (the) footsteps (of) the Shaitaan, and whoever follows (the) footsteps (of) the Shaitaan then indeed, he commands the immorality and the evil. And if not (for the) Grace (of) Allah upon you and His Mercy not (would) have been pure among you from anyone ever, but Allah purifies whom He wills. And Allah (is) All-Hearer, All-Knower.

24:22   And not let swear those of virtue among you and the amplitude of means that they give (to) the near of kin, and the needy and the emigrants in (the) way (of) Allah. And let them pardon and let them overlook. (Do) not you like that should forgive Allah you? And Allah (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

24:23   Indeed, those who accuse the chaste women, the unaware women (and) the believing women, are cursed in the world and the Hereafter. And for them (is) a punishment great.

24:24   (On a) Day, will bear witness against them their tongues, and their hands and their feet for what they used (to) do.

24:25   That Day, will pay them in full Allah their recompense, the due, and they will know that Allah, He (is) the Truth the Manifest.

24:26   Evil women (are) for evil men, and evil men (are) for evil women. And good women (are) for good men and good men (are) for good women. Those (are) innocent of what they say. For them (is) forgiveness and a provision noble.

24:27   O you who believe! (Do) not enter houses other (than) your houses until you have asked permission and you have greeted [on] its inhabitants. That (is) best for you so that you may pay heed.

24:28   But if not you find in it anyone, then (do) not enter it until permission has been given to you. And if it is said to you "Go back," then go back; it (is) purer for you. And Allah of what you do (is) All-Knower.

24:29   Not upon you (is) any blame that you enter houses not inhabited, in it (is) a provision for you. And Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal.

24:30   Say to the believing men they should lower from their gaze and they should guard their chastity. That (is) purer for them. Indeed, Allah (is) All-Aware of what they do.

24:31   And say to the believing women (that) they should lower [of] their gaze and they should guard their chastity, and not (to) display their adornment except what is apparent of it. And let them draw their head covers over their bosoms, and not (to) display their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers or fathers (of) their husbands or their sons or sons (of) their husbands or their brothers or sons (of) their brothers or sons (of) their sisters, or their women or what possess their right hands or the attendants having no (of) physical desire among [the] men or [the] children who (are) not aware of private aspects (of) the women. And not let them stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah altogether O believers! So that you may succeed.

24:32   And marry the single among you and the righteous among your male slaves, and your female slaves. If they are poor, will enrich them Allah from His Bounty. And Allah (is) All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.

24:33   And let be chaste those who (do) not find (means for) marriage until enriches them Allah from His Bounty. And those who seek the writing from (those) whom possess your right hands, then give them (the) writing if you know in them any good and give them from the wealth (of) Allah which He has given you. And (do) not compel your slave girls to [the] prostitution, if they desire chastity that you may seek temporary gain (of) the life (of) the world. And whoever compels them, then indeed, Allah from after their compulsion (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

24:34   And verily, We have sent down to you Verses clear, and an example of those who passed away from before you, and an admonition for those who fear (Allah).

24:35   Allah (is the) Light (of) the heavens and the earth. (The) example (of) His Light (is) like a niche in it (is) a lamp; the lamp (is) in a glass, the glass as if it were a star brilliant (which) is lit from a tree blessed - an olive, not (of the) east and not (of the) west, would almost its oil glow, even if not touched it fire. Light upon Light. guides Allah to His Light whom He wills. And sets forth Allah the examples for the mankind. And Allah of every thing (is) All-Knower.

24:36   In houses (which) ordered Allah that they be raised and be mentioned in them His name. Glorify [to] Him in them in the mornings and (in) the evenings.

24:37   Men - not distracts them trade and not sale from (the) remembrance (of) Allah and (from) establishing the prayer and giving zakah. They fear a Day will turn about therein the hearts and the eyes.

24:38   That may reward them Allah (with the) best (of) what they did, and increase them from His Bounty. And Allah provides whom He wills without measure.

24:39   But those who disbelieve, their deeds (are) like a mirage in a lowland, thinks it the thirsty one (to be) water, until when he comes to it, not he finds it (to be) anything, but he finds Allah before him, He will pay him in full his due. And Allah (is) swift (in) the account.

24:40   Or (is) like (the) darkness[es] in a sea deep, covers it a wave, (from) on it a wave, (from) on it a cloud, darkness[es] some of it on others. When he puts out his hand not hardly he (can) see it. And (for) whom not (has) made Allah for him a light, then not for him (is) any light.

24:41   Do not you see that Allah - glorify Him whoever (is) in the heavens and the earth and the birds (with) wings outspread? Each one verily knows its prayer and its glorification. And Allah (is) All-Knower of what they do.

24:42   And to Allah (belongs) (the) dominion (of) the heavens and the earth. And to Allah (is) the destination.

24:43   Do not you see that Allah drives clouds then joins between them then makes them (into) a mass, then you see the rain come forth from their midst? And He sends down from (the) sky, [from] mountains within it [of] (is) hail and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. Nearly (the) flash (of) its lighting takes away the sight.

24:44   alternates Allah the night and the day. Indeed, in that surely is a lesson for those who have the vision.

24:45   And Allah created every moving creature from water. Of them (is a kind) who walks on its belly, and of them (is a kind) who walks on two legs, and of them (is a kind) who walks on four. creates Allah what He wills. Indeed, Allah on every thing (is) All-Powerful.

24:46   Verily, We have sent down Verses clear. And Allah guides whom He wills to a path straight.

24:47   And they say, "We believe in Allah and in the Messenger and we obey." Then turns away a party of them from after that. And not those (are) believers.

24:48   And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, to judge between them, behold, a party of them (is) averse.

24:49   But if is with them the truth, they come to him (as) promptly obedient.

24:50   Is (there) in their hearts a disease or do they doubt or they fear that will be unjust Allah to them and His Messenger? Nay, those [they] (are) the wrongdoers.

24:51   Only is (the) statement (of) the believers when they are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them (is) that they say, "We hear and we obey." And those [they] (are) the successful.

24:52   And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and fears Allah and (is) conscious of Him, then those [they] (are) the successful ones.

24:53   And they swear by Allah strong their oaths that if you ordered them, surely they (would) go forth. Say, "(Do) not swear. Obedience (is) known. Indeed, Allah (is) All-Aware of what you do."

24:54   Say, "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger, but if you turn away then only upon him (is) what (is) placed on him, and on you (is) what (is) placed on you. And if you obey him, you will be guided. And not (is) on the Messenger except the conveyance [the] clear."

24:55   (has) promised Allah those who believe among you and do righteous deeds, He will grant them succession in the earth, as He gave succession to those who from (were) before them, and He will surely establish for them their religion which He has approved for them, and surely He will change for them from after their fear, security (for) they worship Me, not they associate with Me anything. But whoever disbelieved after that, then those [they] (are) the defiantly disobedient.

24:56   And establish the prayer and give zakah and obey the Messenger, so that you may receive mercy.

24:57   (Do) not think those who disbelieve (can) escape in the earth. And their abode (will be) the Fire and wretched is the destination.

24:58   O you who believe! Let ask your permission those whom possess your right hands and those who (have) not reached puberty among you (at) three times, from before (the) prayer (of) dawn, and when you put aside your garments at noon and from after (the) prayer (of) night. (These) three (are) times of privacy for you. Not on you and not on them any blame after that (as) moving about among you, some of you among others. Thus makes clear Allah for you the Verses, and Allah (is) All-Knower, All-Wise.

24:59   And when reach the children among you the puberty then let them ask permission as asked permission those who (were) from (were) before them. Thus makes clear Allah for you His Verses. And Allah (is) All-Knower All-Wise.

24:60   And postmenopausal among the women who (do) not have desire (for) marriage, then not is on them any blame that they put aside their (outer) garments, not displaying their adornment. And that they modestly refrain (is) better for them. And Allah (is) All-Hearer, All-Knower.

24:61   Not is on the blind any blame and not on the lame any blame and not on the sick any blame and not on yourselves that you eat from your houses or houses (of) your fathers or houses (of) your mothers or houses (of) your brothers or houses (of) your sisters or houses (of) your paternal uncles or houses (of) your paternal aunts or houses (of) your maternal uncles or houses (of) your maternal aunts or what you possess its keys or your friend. Not is on you any blame that you eat together or separately. But when you enter houses then greet [on] yourselves a greeting from that Allah blessed (and) good. Thus makes clear Allah for you the Verses so that you may understand.

24:62   Only the believers (are) those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, and when they are with him for a matter (of) collective action, not they go until they (have) asked his permission. Indeed, those who ask your permission, those [those who] believe in Allah and His Messenger. So when they ask your permission for some affair of theirs, then give permission to whom you will among them, and ask forgiveness for them (of) Allah. Indeed, Allah (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

24:63   (Do) not make (the) calling (of) the Messenger among you as (the) call (of) some of you (to) others. Verily, knows Allah those who slip away among you under shelter. So let beware those who oppose [from] his orders lest befalls them a trial or befalls them a punishment painful.

24:64   No doubt! Indeed, to Allah (belongs) whatever (is) in the heavens and the earth. Verily, He knows what you (are) on [it], And (the) Day they will be returned to Him then He will inform them of what they did. And Allah of every thing (is) All-Knower.
