24. Surah An-Nur The Light

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

سُورَةٌ اَنْزَلْنَاهَا وَفَرَضْنَاهَا وَاَنْزَلْنَا ف۪يهَٓا اٰيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Sooratun anzalnaha wafaradnahawaanzalna feeha ayatin bayyinatinlaAAallakum tathakkaroon

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

اَلزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّان۪ي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍۖ وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُمْ بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ ف۪ي د۪ينِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۚ وَلْيَشْهَدْ عَذَابَهُمَا طَٓائِفَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Azzaniyatu wazzaneefajlidoo kulla wahidin minhuma mi-atajaldatin wala ta/khuthkum bihima ra/fatunfee deeni Allahi in kuntum tu/minoona billahiwalyawmi al-akhiri walyashhad AAathabahumata-ifatun mina almu/mineen

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.

اَلزَّان۪ي لَا يَنْكِحُ اِلَّا زَانِيَةً اَوْ مُشْرِكَةًۘ وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنْكِحُهَٓا اِلَّا زَانٍ اَوْ مُشْرِكٌۚ وَحُرِّمَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Azzanee la yankihuilla zaniyatan aw mushrikatan wazzaniyatula yankihuha illa zanin awmushrikun wahurrima thalika AAalaalmu/mineen

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.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَٓاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَان۪ينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً اَبَداًۚ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَۙ

Wallatheena yarmoona almuhsanatithumma lam ya/too bi-arbaAAati shuhadaa fajlidoohumthamaneena jaldatan wala taqbaloo lahum shahadatanabadan waola-ika humu alfasiqoon

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 –

اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ تَابُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ وَاَصْلَحُواۚ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Illa allatheena taboomin baAAdi thalika waaslahoo fa-inna Allahaghafoorun raheem

except for those who after that make tawba and put things right. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَرْمُونَ اَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَٓاءُ اِلَّٓا اَنْفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَادَةُ اَحَدِهِمْ اَرْبَعُ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللّٰهِۙ اِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ

Wallatheena yarmoona azwajahumwalam yakun lahum shuhadao illa anfusuhum fashahadatuahadihim arbaAAu shahadatin billahiinnahu lamina assadiqeen

Those who make an accusation against their wives and have no witnesses except themselves, such people should testify four times by Allah that they are telling the truth

وَالْخَامِسَةُ اَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِب۪ينَ

Walkhamisatu anna laAAnata AllahiAAalayhi in kana mina alkathibeen

and a fifth time that Allah’s curse will be upon them if they are lying.

وَيَدْرَؤُ۬ا عَنْهَا الْعَذَابَ اَنْ تَشْهَدَ اَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللّٰهِۙ اِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِب۪ينَۙ

Wayadrao AAanha alAAathaba antashhada arbaAAa shahadatin billahiinnahu lamina alkathibeen

And the punishment is removed from her if she testifies four times by Allah that he is lying

وَالْخَامِسَةَ اَنَّ غَضَبَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهَٓا اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ

Walkhamisata anna ghadabaAllahi AAalayha in kana mina assadiqeen

and a fifth time that Allah’s anger will be upon her if he is telling the truth.

وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ تَـوَّابٌ حَك۪يمٌ۟

Walawla fadlu AllahiAAalaykum warahmatuhu waanna Allaha tawwabunhakeem

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

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ جَٓاؤُ۫ بِالْاِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْۜ لَا تَحْسَبُوهُ شَراًّ لَكُمْۜ بَلْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْۜ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا اكْتَسَبَ مِنَ الْاِثْمِۚ وَالَّذ۪ي تَوَلّٰى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظ۪يمٌ

Inna allatheena jaoo bil-ifkiAAusbatun minkum la tahsaboohu sharran lakumbal huwa khayrun lakum likulli imri-in minhum ma iktasabamina al-ithmi wallathee tawalla kibrahuminhum lahu AAathabun AAatheem

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.

لَوْلَٓا اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ ظَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ خَيْراًۙ وَقَالُوا هٰذَٓا اِفْكٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Lawla ith samiAAtumoohu thannaalmu/minoona walmu/minatu bi-anfusihim khayran waqaloohatha ifkun mubeen

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’?

لَوْلَا جَٓاؤُ۫ عَلَيْهِ بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَٓاءَۚ فَاِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِالشُّهَدَٓاءِ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ

Lawla jaoo AAalayhibi-arbaAAati shuhadaa fa-ith lam ya/too bishshuhada-ifaola-ika AAinda Allahi humu alkathiboon

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

وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُمْ ف۪ي مَٓا اَفَضْتُمْ ف۪يهِ عَذَابٌ عَظ۪يمٌۚ

Walawla fadlu AllahiAAalaykum warahmatuhu fee addunya wal-akhiratilamassakum fee ma afadtum feehi AAathabunAAatheem

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.

اِذْ تَلَقَّوْنَهُ بِاَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَتَقُولُونَ بِاَفْوَاهِكُمْ مَا لَيْسَ لَكُمْ بِه۪ عِلْمٌ وَتَحْسَبُونَهُ هَيِّناًۗ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ عَظ۪يمٌ

Ith talaqqawnahu bi-alsinatikumwataqooloona bi-afwahikum ma laysa lakum bihiAAilmun watahsaboonahu hayyinan wahuwa AAinda AllahiAAatheem

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.

وَلَوْلَٓا اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ قُلْتُمْ مَا يَكُونُ لَـنَٓا اَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ بِهٰذَاۗ سُبْحَانَكَ هٰذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظ۪يمٌ

Walawla ith samiAAtumoohuqultum ma yakoonu lana an natakallama bihathasubhanaka hatha buhtanun AAatheem

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!’?

يَعِظُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تَعُودُوا لِمِثْلِه۪ٓ اَبَداً اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَۚ

YaAAithukumu Allahu antaAAoodoo limithlihi abadan in kuntum mu/mineen

Allah warns you never to repeat the like of it again if you are muminun.

وَيُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰيَاتِۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

Wayubayyinu Allahu lakumu al-ayatiwallahu AAaleemun hakeem

Allah makes the Signs clear to you and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يُحِبُّونَ اَنْ تَش۪يعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌۙ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Inna allatheena yuhibboona antasheeAAa alfahishatu fee allatheena amanoolahum AAathabun aleemun fee addunya wal-akhiratiwallahu yaAAlamu waantum la taAAlamoon

People who love to see filth being spread about concerning those who have iman will have a painful punishment both in this world and the Next World. Allah knows and you do not know.

وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ رَؤُ۫فٌ رَح۪يمٌ۟

Walawla fadlu AllahiAAalaykum warahmatuhu waanna Allaha raoofun raheem

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

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِۜ وَمَنْ يَتَّبِـعْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَٓاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِۜ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ مَا زَكٰى مِنْكُمْ مِنْ اَحَدٍ اَبَداًۙ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُزَكّ۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ سَم۪يعٌ عَل۪يمٌ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tattabiAAoo khutuwati ashshaytaniwaman yattabiAA khutuwati ashshaytanifa-innahu ya/muru bilfahsha-i walmunkariwalawla fadlu Allahi AAalaykum warahmatuhuma zaka minkum min ahadin abadan walakinnaAllaha yuzakkee man yashao wallahusameeAAun AAaleem

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.

وَلَا يَأْتَلِ اُو۬لُوا الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ اَنْ يُؤْتُٓوا اُو۬لِي الْقُرْبٰى وَالْمَسَاك۪ينَ وَالْمُهَاجِر۪ينَ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۖ وَلْيَعْفُوا وَلْيَصْفَحُواۜ اَلَا تُحِبُّونَ اَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Wala ya/tali oloo alfadliminkum wassaAAati an yu/too olee alqurba walmasakeenawalmuhajireena fee sabeeli AllahiwalyaAAfoo walyasfahoo ala tuhibboonaan yaghfira Allahu lakum wallahu ghafoorunraheem

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.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْغَافِلَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ لُعِنُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظ۪يمٌۙ

Inna allatheena yarmoona almuhsanatialghafilati almu/minati luAAinoo fee addunyawal-akhirati walahum AAathabun AAatheem

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

يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ اَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَاَيْد۪يهِمْ وَاَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Yawma tashhadu AAalayhim alsinatuhumwaaydeehim waarjuluhum bima kanoo yaAAmaloon

on the Day when their tongues and hands and feet will testify against them about what they were doing.

يَوْمَئِذٍ يُوَفّ۪يهِمُ اللّٰهُ د۪ينَهُمُ الْحَقَّ وَيَعْلَمُونَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُب۪ينُ

Yawma-ithin yuwaffeehimu Allahudeenahumu alhaqqa wayaAAlamoona anna Allaha huwa alhaqqualmubeen

On that Day Allah will pay them in full what is due to them, and they will know that Allah is the Clear Truth.

اَلْخَب۪يثَاتُ لِلْخَب۪يث۪ينَ وَالْخَب۪يثُونَ لِلْخَب۪يثَاتِۚ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلطَّيِّب۪ينَ وَالطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَاتِۚ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ مُبَرَّؤُ۫نَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَۜ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَر۪يمٌ۟

Corrupt women are for corrupt men and corrupt men are for corrupt women, Good women are for good men and good men are for good women. The latter are innocent of what they say. They will have forgiveness and generous provision.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتاً غَيْرَ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتّٰى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلٰٓى اَهْلِهَاۜ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tadkhuloo buyootan ghayra buyootikum hattatasta/nisoo watusallimoo AAala ahliha thalikumkhayrun lakum laAAallakum tathakkaroon

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.

فَاِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا ف۪يهَٓا اَحَداً فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا حَتّٰى يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْۚ وَاِنْ ق۪يلَ لَكُمُ ارْجِعُوا فَارْجِعُوا هُوَ اَزْكٰى لَكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَل۪يمٌ

Fa-in lam tajidoo feeha ahadanfala tadkhulooha hatta yu/thanalakum wa-in qeela lakumu irjiAAoo farjiAAoo huwa azkalakum wallahu bima taAAmaloona AAaleem

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.

لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتاً غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ ف۪يهَا مَتَاعٌ لَكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُونَ

Laysa AAalaykum junahun an tadkhuloobuyootan ghayra maskoonatin feeha mataAAun lakum wallahuyaAAlamu ma tubdoona wama taktumoon

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.

قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ اَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْۜ ذٰلِكَ اَزْكٰى لَهُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَب۪يرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ

Qul lilmu/mineena yaghuddoo min absarihumwayahfathoo furoojahum thalika azkalahum inna Allaha khabeerun bima yasnaAAoon

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.

وَقُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ اَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْد۪ينَ ز۪ينَتَهُنَّ اِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلٰى جُيُوبِهِنَّۖ وَلَا يُبْد۪ينَ ز۪ينَتَهُنَّ اِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اٰبَٓائِهِنَّ اَوْ اٰبَٓاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اَبْنَٓائِهِنَّ اَوْ اَبْنَٓاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ اَوْ بَن۪ٓي اِخْوَانِهِنَّ اَوْ بَن۪ٓي اَخَوَاتِهِنَّ اَوْ نِسَٓائِهِنَّ اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُهُنَّ اَوِ التَّابِع۪ينَ غَيْرِ اُو۬لِي الْاِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ اَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذ۪ينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلٰى عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَٓاءِۖ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِاَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْف۪ينَ مِنْ ز۪ينَتِهِنَّۜ وَتُوبُٓوا اِلَى اللّٰهِ جَم۪يعاً اَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Say to the mumin women that they should lower their eyes and guard their private parts and not display their adornments – except for what normally shows – and draw their head-coverings across their breasts. They should only display their adornments to their husbands or their fathers or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons or other women or those they own as slaves or their male attendants who have no sexual desire or children who still have no awareness of women’s private parts. Nor should they stamp their feet so that their hidden ornaments are known. Turn to Allah every one of you, muminun, so that hopefully you will have success.

وَاَنْكِحُوا الْاَيَامٰى مِنْكُمْ وَالصَّالِح۪ينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَاِمَٓائِكُمْۜ اِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَـرَٓاءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَل۪يمٌ

Waankihoo al-ayamaminkum wassaliheena min AAibadikumwa-ima-ikum in yakoonoo fuqaraa yughnihimu Allahumin fadlihi wallahu wasiAAun AAaleem

Marry off those among you who are unmarried and those of your slaves and slavegirls who are righteous. If they are poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.

وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحاً حَتّٰى يُغْنِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَبْتَغُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ فَكَاتِبُوهُمْ اِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ ف۪يهِمْ خَيْراًۗ وَاٰتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللّٰهِ الَّـذ۪ٓي اٰتٰيكُمْۜ وَلَا تُكْرِهُوا فَتَيَاتِكُمْ عَلَى الْبِغَٓاءِ اِنْ اَرَدْنَ تَحَصُّناً لِتَبْتَغُوا عَرَضَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۜ وَمَنْ يُكْرِهْهُنَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ مِنْ بَعْدِ اِكْرَاهِهِنَّ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Those who cannot find the means to marry should be abstinent until Allah enriches them from His bounty. If any slaves you own want to make a contract to free themselves, write it for them if you know of good in them and give them some of the wealth Allah has given you. Do not force your slavegirls to prostitute themselves if they desire to be virtuous women out of your desire for the goods of this world. If anyone forces them, then after they have been forced, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَلَقَدْ اَنْزَلْـنَٓا اِلَيْكُمْ اٰيَاتٍ مُبَيِّنَاتٍ وَمَثَلاً مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَمَوْعِظَةً لِلْمُتَّق۪ينَ۟

We have sent down Clear Signs to you and the example of those who passed away before you and an admonition for those who have taqwa.

اَللّٰهُ نُورُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ مَثَلُ نُورِه۪ كَمِشْكٰوةٍ ف۪يهَا مِصْبَاحٌۜ اَلْمِصْبَاحُ ف۪ي زُجَاجَةٍۜ اَلزُّجَاجَةُ كَاَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍۙ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُض۪ٓيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌۜ نُورٌ عَلٰى نُورٍۜ يَهْدِي اللّٰهُ لِنُورِه۪ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَيَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِۜ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌۙ

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The metaphor of His Light is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, the glass like a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, its oil all but giving off light even if no fire touches it. Light upon Light. Allah guides to His Light whoever He wills and Allah makes metaphors for mankind and Allah has knowledge of all things.

In houses which Allah has permitted to be built and in which His name is remembered, there are men who proclaim His glory morning and evening,

رِجَالٌۙ لَا تُلْه۪يهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَاِقَامِ الصَّلٰوةِ وَا۪يتَٓاءِ الزَّكٰوةِۙ يَخَافُونَ يَوْماً تَتَقَلَّبُ ف۪يهِ الْقُلُوبُ وَالْاَبْصَارُۙ

Rijalun la tulheehim tijaratunwala bayAAun AAan thikri Allahi wa-iqamiassalati wa-eeta-i azzakatiyakhafoona yawman tataqallabu feehi alquloobu wal-absar

not distracted by trade or commerce from the remembrance of Allah and the establishment of salat and the payment of zakat; fearing a day when all hearts and eyes will be in turmoil –

لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا وَيَز۪يدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Liyajziyahumu Allahu ahsana maAAamiloo wayazeedahum min fadlihi wallahuyarzuqu man yashao bighayri hisab

so that Allah can reward them for the best of what they did and give them more from His unbounded favour. Allah provides for anyone He wills without reckoning.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُٓوا اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِق۪يعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْاٰنُ مَٓاءًۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَٓاءَهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْـٔاً وَوَجَدَ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهُ فَوَفّٰيهُ حِسَابَهُۜ وَاللّٰهُ سَر۪يعُ الْحِسَابِۙ

Wallatheena kafaroo aAAmaluhumkasarabin biqeeAAatin yahsabuhu aththam-anumaan hatta itha jaahu lamyajidhu shay-an wawajada Allaha AAindahu fawaffahu hisabahuwallahu sareeAAu alhisab

But the actions of those who are kafir are like a mirage in the desert. A thirsty man thinks it is water but when he reaches it, he finds it to be nothing at all, but he finds Allah there. He will pay him his account in full. Allah is swift at reckoning.

اَوْ كَظُلُمَاتٍ ف۪ي بَحْرٍ لُجِّيٍّ يَغْشٰيهُ مَوْجٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه۪ مَوْجٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه۪ سَحَابٌۜ ظُلُمَاتٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍۜ اِذَٓا اَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرٰيهَاۜ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللّٰهُ لَهُ نُوراً فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ نُورٍ۟

Or they are like the darkness of a fathomless sea which is covered by waves above which are waves above which are clouds, layers of darkness, one upon the other. If he puts out his hand, he can scarcely see it. Those Allah gives no light to, they have no light.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُسَبِّـحُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَالطَّيْرُ صَٓافَّاتٍۜ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُ وَتَسْب۪يحَهُۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ

Alam tara anna Allaha yusabbihulahu man fee assamawati wal-ardiwattayru saffatin kullun qadAAalima salatahu watasbeehahu wallahuAAaleemun bima yafAAaloon

Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and earth glorifies Allah, as do the birds with their outspread wings? Each one knows its prayer and glorification. Allah knows what they do.

وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ الْمَص۪يرُ

Walillahi mulku assamawatiwal-ardi wa-ila Allahi almaseer

The kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs to Allah and Allah is the final destination.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُزْج۪ي سَحَاباً ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ رُكَاماً فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَالِه۪ۚ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مِنْ جِبَالٍ ف۪يهَا مِنْ بَرَدٍ فَيُص۪يبُ بِه۪ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَصْرِفُهُ عَنْ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِه۪ يَذْهَبُ بِالْاَبْصَارِۜ

Do you not see that Allah propels the clouds then makes them coalesce then heaps them up, and then you see the rain come pouring out of the middle of them? And He sends down mountains from the sky with hail inside them, striking with it anyone He wills and averting it from anyone He wills. The brightness of His lightning almost blinds the sight.

يُقَلِّبُ اللّٰهُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِاُو۬لِي الْاَبْصَارِ

Yuqallibu Allahu allayla wannaharainna fee thalika laAAibratan li-olee al-absar

Allah revolves night and day. There is surely a lesson in that for people with inner sight.

وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَٓابَّةٍ مِنْ مَٓاءٍۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْش۪ي عَلٰى بَطْنِه۪ۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْش۪ي عَلٰى رِجْلَيْنِۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْش۪ي عَلٰٓى اَرْبَعٍۜ يَخْلُقُ اللّٰهُ مَا يَشَٓاءُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Allah created every animal from water. Some of them go on their bellies, some of them on two legs, and some on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things.

لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْـنَٓا اٰيَاتٍ مُبَيِّنَاتٍۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَهْد۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍ

Laqad anzalna ayatinmubayyinatin wallahu yahdee man yashaoila siratin mustaqeem

We have sent down Signs making things clear. Allah guides whoever He wills to a straight path.

وَيَقُولُونَ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَبِالرَّسُولِ وَاَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلّٰى فَر۪يقٌ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَۜ وَمَٓا اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ بِالْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Wayaqooloona amanna billahiwabirrasooli waataAAna thumma yatawallafareequn minhum min baAAdi thalika wama ola-ikabilmu/mineen

They say, ‘We have iman in Allah and in the Messenger and we obey. ’ Then after that a group of them turn away. Such people are not muminun.

وَاِذَا دُعُٓوا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ اِذَا فَر۪يقٌ مِنْهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ

Wa-itha duAAoo ila Allahiwarasoolihi liyahkuma baynahum itha fareequn minhummuAAridoon

When they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger, so that he can judge between them, a group of them immediately turn away.

وَاِنْ يَكُنْ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّ يَأْتُٓوا اِلَيْهِ مُذْعِن۪ينَۜ

Wa-in yakun lahumu alhaqqu ya/tooilayhi muthAAineen

But if right is on their side, they come to him most submissively!

اَف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ اَمِ ارْتَابُٓوا اَمْ يَخَافُونَ اَنْ يَح۪يفَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَسُولُهُۜ بَلْ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ۟

Afee quloobihim maradun ami irtabooam yakhafoona an yaheefa Allahu AAalayhimwarasooluhu bal ola-ika humu aththalimoon

Is there a sickness in their hearts or do they have misgivings or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust to them? No, it is simply that they are wrongdoers.

اِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ اِذَا دُعُٓوا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ اَنْ يَقُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَاَطَعْنَاۜ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

Innama kana qawla almu/mineenaitha duAAoo ila Allahi warasoolihi liyahkumabaynahum an yaqooloo samiAAna waataAAna waola-ikahumu almuflihoon

The reply of the muminun when they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger so that he can judge between them, is to say, ‘We hear and we obey. ’ They are ones who are successful.

وَمَنْ يُطِـعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَخْشَ اللّٰهَ وَيَتَّقْهِ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْفَٓائِزُونَ

Waman yutiAAi Allahawarasoolahu wayakhsha Allaha wayattaqhi faola-ikahumu alfa-izoon

All who obey Allah and His Messenger and have awe of Allah and taqwa of Him, they are the ones who are victorious.

وَاَقْسَمُوا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ اَمَرْتَهُمْ لَيَخْرُجُنَّۜ قُلْ لَا تُقْسِمُواۚ طَاعَةٌ مَعْرُوفَةٌۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَب۪يرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Waaqsamoo billahi jahda aymanihimla-in amartahum layakhrujunna qul la tuqsimoo taAAatunmaAAroofatun inna Allaha khabeerun bima taAAmaloon

They have sworn by Allah with their most earnest oaths that if you give them the command, they will go out. Say: ‘Do not swear. Honourable obedience is enough. Allah is aware of what you do.’

قُلْ اَط۪يعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَط۪يعُوا الرَّسُولَۚ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ مَا حُمِّلْتُمْۜ وَاِنْ تُط۪يعُوهُ تَهْتَدُواۜ وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِ اِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُب۪ينُ

Say: ‘Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. Then if they turn away he is only responsible for what he is charged with and you are responsible for what you are charged with. If you obey him, you will be guided.’ The Messenger is only responsible for clear transmission.

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۖ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ د۪ينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضٰى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ اَمْناًۜ يَعْبُدُونَن۪ي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ ب۪ي شَيْـٔاًۜ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

Allah has promised those of you who have iman and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their deen with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. ‘They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.’ Any who are kafir after that, such people are deviators.

وَاَق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَط۪يعُوا الرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

Waaqeemoo assalata waatooazzakata waateeAAoo arrasoolalaAAallakum turhamoon

Establish salat and pay zakat and obey the Messenger so that hopefully mercy will be shown to you.

لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مُعْجِز۪ينَ فِي الْاَرْضِۚ وَمَأْوٰيهُمُ النَّارُۜ وَلَبِئْسَ الْمَص۪يرُ۟

La tahsabanna allatheenakafaroo muAAjizeena fee al-ardi wama/wahumu annaruwalabi/sa almaseer

Do not imagine that those who are kafir are able to escape Allah on earth. Their shelter will be the Fire. What an evil destination!

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لِيَسْتَأْذِنْكُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ وَالَّذ۪ينَ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحُلُمَ مِنْكُمْ ثَلٰثَ مَرَّاتٍۜ مِنْ قَبْلِ صَلٰوةِ الْفَجْرِ وَح۪ينَ تَضَعُونَ ثِيَابَكُمْ مِنَ الظَّه۪يرَةِ وَمِنْ بَعْدِ صَلٰوةِ الْعِشَٓاءِ۠ ثَلٰثُ عَوْرَاتٍ لَكُمْۜ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ جُنَاحٌ بَعْدَهُنَّۜ طَوَّافُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰيَاتِۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

You who have iman! those you own as slaves and those of you who have not yet reached puberty should ask your permission to enter at three times: before the Dawn Prayer, when you have undressed at noon, and after the Salat al-‘Isha’ – three times of nakedness for you. There is nothing wrong for you or them at other times in moving around among yourselves from one to another. In this way Allah makes the Signs clear to you. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

وَاِذَا بَلَغَ الْاَطْفَالُ مِنْكُمُ الْحُلُمَ فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنُوا كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰيَاتِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

Once your children have reached puberty, they should ask your permission to enter as those before them also asked permission. In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

As for women who are past child-bearing age and no longer have any hope of getting married, there is nothing wrong in their removing their outer clothes, provided they do not flaunt their adornments; but to refrain from doing so is better for them. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

لَيْسَ عَلَى الْاَعْمٰى حَرَجٌ وَلَا عَلَى الْاَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَلَا عَلَى الْمَر۪يضِ حَرَجٌ وَلَا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَنْ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوتِ اٰبَٓائِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوتِ اُمَّهَاتِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوتِ اِخْوَانِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوتِ اَخَوَاتِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوتِ اَعْمَامِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوتِ عَمَّاتِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوتِ اَخْوَالِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوتِ خَالَاتِكُمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَكْتُمْ مَفَاتِحَهُٓ اَوْ صَد۪يقِكُمْۜ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَأْكُلُوا جَم۪يعاً اَوْ اَشْتَاتاًۜ فَاِذَا دَخَلْتُمْ بُيُوتاً فَسَلِّمُوا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِكُمْ تَحِيَّةً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ مُبَارَكَةً طَيِّبَةًۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ۟

There is no objection to the blind, no objection to the lame, no objection to the sick nor to yourselves if you eat in your own houses or your fathers’ houses or your mothers’ houses or your brothers’ houses or your sisters’ houses or the houses of your paternal uncles or paternal aunts or the houses of your maternal uncles or maternal aunts or places to which you own the keys or those of your friends. There is nothing wrong in your eating together or eating separately. And when you enter houses greet one another with a greeting from Allah, blessed and good. In this way Allah makes the Signs clear to you so that hopefully you will use your intellect.

The muminun are those who have iman in Allah and His Messenger and who, when they are with him on a matter of common concern, do not leave until they have asked him for permission. Those people who ask you for permission are the ones who truly have iman in Allah and His Messenger. If they ask your permission to attend to their own affairs, give permission to any of them you please; and ask Allah’s forgiveness for them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Do not make your summoning of the Messenger the same as your summoning of one another. Allah knows those of you who sneak away. Those who oppose his command should beware of a testing trial coming to them or a painful punishment striking them.

اَلَٓا اِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَٓا اَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِۜ وَيَوْمَ يُرْجَعُونَ اِلَيْهِ فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُواۜ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ

Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He knows what you are engaged upon. On the Day when they are returned to Him, He will inform them of what they did. Allah has knowledge of all things.
