ONE AYAT A DAY
Surah 24 · 64 ayahs · Medinan
سُوْرَةٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهَا وَفَرَضْنٰهَا وَاَنْزَلْنَا فِيْهَآ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ
Sūratun anzalnāhā wa faraḍnāhā wa anzalnā fīhā āyātim bayyinātil la‘allakum tażakkarūn(a).
[This is] a sūrah which We have sent down and made [that within it] obligatory and revealed therein verses of clear evidence that you might remember.
اَلزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِيْ فَاجْلِدُوْا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ ۖوَّلَا تَأْخُذْكُمْ بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ فِيْ دِيْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۚ وَلْيَشْهَدْ عَذَابَهُمَا طَاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
Az-zāniyatu waz-zānī fajlidū kulla wāḥidim minhumā mi'ata jaldah(tan), wa lā ta'khużkum bihimā ra'fatun fī dīnillāhi in kuntum tu'minūna billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhir(i), walyasyhad ‘ażābahumā ṭā'ifatum minal-mu'minīn(a).
The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion [i.e., law] of Allāh, if you should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment.
اَلزَّانِيْ لَا يَنْكِحُ اِلَّا زَانِيَةً اَوْ مُشْرِكَةً ۖوَّالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنْكِحُهَآ اِلَّا زَانٍ اَوْ مُشْرِكٌ ۚوَحُرِّمَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
Az-zānī lā yankiḥu illā zāniyatan au musyrikah(tan), waz-zāniyatu lā yankiḥuhā illā zānin au musyrik(un), wa ḥurrima żālika ‘alal-mu'minīn(a).
The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist, and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheist, and that [i.e., marriage to such persons] has been made unlawful to the believers.
وَالَّذِيْنَ يَرْمُوْنَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوْا بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاۤءَ فَاجْلِدُوْهُمْ ثَمٰنِيْنَ جَلْدَةً وَّلَا تَقْبَلُوْا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً اَبَدًاۚ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ ۙ
Wal-lażīna yarmūnal-muḥṣanāti ṡumma lam ya'tū bi'arba‘ati syuhadā'a fajlidūhum ṡamānīna jaldataw wa lā taqbalū lahum syahādatan abadā(n), wa ulā'ika humul-fāsiqūn(a).
And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses - lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient,
اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ تَابُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ وَاَصْلَحُوْاۚ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
Illal-lażīna tābū mim ba‘di żālika wa aṣlaḥū, fa innallāha gafūrur raḥīm(un).
Except for those who repent thereafter and reform, for indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
وَالَّذِيْنَ يَرْمُوْنَ اَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُمْ شُهَدَاۤءُ اِلَّآ اَنْفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَادَةُ اَحَدِهِمْ اَرْبَعُ شَهٰدٰتٍۢ بِاللّٰهِ ۙاِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ
Wal-lażīna yarmūna azwājahum wa lam yakul lahum syuhadā'u illā anfusuhum fa syahādatu aḥadihim arba‘u syahādātim billāh(i), innahū laminaṣ-ṣādiqīn(a).
And those who accuse their wives [of adultery] and have no witnesses except themselves - then the witness of one of them [shall be] four testimonies [swearing] by Allāh that indeed, he is of the truthful.
وَالْخَامِسَةُ اَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ
Wal-khāmisatu anna la‘natallāhi ‘alaihi in kāna minal-kāżibīn(a).
And the fifth [oath will be] that the curse of Allāh be upon him if he should be of the liars.
وَيَدْرَؤُا عَنْهَا الْعَذَابَ اَنْ تَشْهَدَ اَرْبَعَ شَهٰدٰتٍۢ بِاللّٰهِ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ ۙ
Wa yadra'u ‘anhal-‘ażāba an tasyhada arba‘a syahādātim billāhi innahū laminal-kāżibīn(a).
But it will prevent punishment from her if she gives four testimonies [swearing] by Allāh that indeed, he is of the liars.
وَالْخَامِسَةَ اَنَّ غَضَبَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهَآ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ
Wal-khāmisata anna gaḍaballāhi ‘alaihā in kāna minaṣ-ṣādiqīn(a).
And the fifth [oath will be] that the wrath of Allāh be upon her if he was of the truthful.
وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ تَوَّابٌ حَكِيْمٌ ࣖ
Wa lau lā faḍlullāhi ‘alaikum wa raḥmatuhū wa annallāha tawwābun ḥakīm(un).
And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy... and because Allāh is Accepting of Repentance and Wise.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ جَاۤءُوْ بِالْاِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِّنْكُمْۗ لَا تَحْسَبُوْهُ شَرًّا لَّكُمْۗ بَلْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْۗ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ مَّا اكْتَسَبَ مِنَ الْاِثْمِۚ وَالَّذِيْ تَوَلّٰى كِبْرَهٗ مِنْهُمْ لَهٗ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌ
Innal-lażīna jā'ū bil-ifki ‘uṣbatum minkum, lā taḥsabūhu syarral lakum, bal huwa khairul lakum, likullimri'im minhum maktasaba minal-iṡm(i), wal-lażī tawallā kibrahū minhum lahū ‘ażābun ‘aẓīm(un).
Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather, it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof - for him is a great punishment [i.e., Hellfire].
لَوْلَآ اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوْهُ ظَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتُ بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ خَيْرًاۙ وَّقَالُوْا هٰذَآ اِفْكٌ مُّبِيْنٌ
Lau lā iż sami‘tumūhu ẓannal-mu'minūna wal-mu'minātu bi'anfusihim khairā(n), wa qālū hāżā ifkum mubīn(un).
Why, when you heard it, did not the believing men and believing women think good of themselves [i.e., one another] and say, "This is an obvious falsehood"?
لَوْلَا جَاۤءُوْ عَلَيْهِ بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاۤءَۚ فَاِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوْا بِالشُّهَدَاۤءِ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الْكٰذِبُوْنَ
Lau lā jā'ū ‘alaihi bi'arba‘ati syuhadā'(a), fa iż lam ya'tū bisy-syuhadā'i fa ulā'ika ‘indallāhi humul-kāżibūn(a).
Why did they [who slandered] not produce for it four witnesses? And when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is they, in the sight of Allāh, who are the liars.
وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيْ مَآ اَفَضْتُمْ فِيْهِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌ
Wa lau lā faḍlullāhi ‘alaikum wa raḥmatuhū fid-dun-yā wal-ākhirati lamassakum fīmā afaḍtum fīhi ‘ażābun ‘aẓīm(un).
And if it had not been for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy in this world and the Hereafter, you would have been touched for that [lie] in which you were involved by a great punishment
اِذْ تَلَقَّوْنَهٗ بِاَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَتَقُوْلُوْنَ بِاَفْوَاهِكُمْ مَّا لَيْسَ لَكُمْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ وَّتَحْسَبُوْنَهٗ هَيِّنًاۙ وَّهُوَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ عَظِيْمٌ ۚ
Iż talaqqaunahū bi'alsinatikum wa taqūlūna bi'afwāhikum mā laisa lakum bihī ‘ilmuw wa taḥsabūnahū hayyinā(n), wa huwa ‘indallāhi ‘aẓīm(un).
When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allāh, tremendous.
وَلَوْلَآ اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوْهُ قُلْتُمْ مَّا يَكُوْنُ لَنَآ اَنْ نَّتَكَلَّمَ بِهٰذَاۖ سُبْحٰنَكَ هٰذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِيْمٌ
Wa lau lā iż sami‘tumūhu qultum mā yakūnu lanā an natakallama bihāżā, subḥānaka hāżā buhtānun ‘aẓīm(un).
And why, when you heard it, did you not say, "It is not for us to speak of this. Exalted are You, [O Allāh]; this is a great slander"?
يَعِظُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تَعُوْدُوْا لِمِثْلِهٖٓ اَبَدًا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ ۚ
Ya‘iẓukumullāhu an ta‘ūdū limiṡlihī abadan in kuntum mu'minīn(a).
Allāh warns you against returning to the likes of this [conduct], ever, if you should be believers.
وَيُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰيٰتِۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ
Wa yubayyinullāhu lakumul-āyāt(i), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).
And Allāh makes clear to you the verses [i.e., His rulings], and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ تَشِيْعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِى الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌۙ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ
Innal-lażīna yuḥibbūna an tasyī‘al-fāḥisyatu fil-lażīna āmanū lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un), fid-dun-yā wal-ākhirah(ti), wallāhu ya‘lamu wa antum lā ta‘lamūn(a).
Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread [or publicized] among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allāh knows and you do not know.
وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ࣖ
Wa lau lā faḍlullāhi ‘alaikum wa raḥmatuhū wa annallāha ra'ūfur raḥīm(un).
And if it had not been for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy... and because Allāh is Kind and Merciful.
۞ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّيْطٰنِۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَّبِعْ خُطُوٰتِ الشَّيْطٰنِ فَاِنَّهٗ يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاۤءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِۗ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ مَا زَكٰى مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَبَدًاۙ وَّلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُزَكِّيْ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُۗ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tattabi‘ū khuṭuwātisy-syaiṭān(i), wa may yattabi‘ khuṭuwātisy-syaiṭāni fa innahū ya'muru bil-faḥsyā'i wal-munkar(i), wa lau lā faḍlullāhi ‘alaikum wa raḥmatuhū mā zakā minkum min aḥadin abadā(n), wa lākinnallāha yuzakkī may yasyā'(u), wallāhu samī‘un ‘alīm(un).
O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allāh purifies whom He wills, and Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
وَلَا يَأْتَلِ اُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ اَنْ يُّؤْتُوْٓا اُولِى الْقُرْبٰى وَالْمَسٰكِيْنَ وَالْمُهٰجِرِيْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۖوَلْيَعْفُوْا وَلْيَصْفَحُوْاۗ اَلَا تُحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ يَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ ۗوَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
Wa lā ya'tali ulul-faḍli minkum was-sa‘ati ay yu'tū ulil-qurbā wal-masākīna wal-muhājirīna fī sabīlillāh(i), wal ya‘fū wal yaṣfaḥū, alā tuḥibbūna ay yagfirallāhu lakum, wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).
And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give [aid] to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allāh, and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allāh should forgive you? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَرْمُوْنَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ الْغٰفِلٰتِ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ لُعِنُوْا فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌ ۙ
Innal-lażīna yarmūnal-muḥṣanātil-gāfilātil-mu'mināti lu‘inū fid-dun-yā wal-ākhirah(ti), wa lahum ‘ażābun ‘aẓīm(un).
Indeed, those who [falsely] accuse chaste, unaware and believing women are cursed in this world and the Hereafter; and they will have a great punishment
يَّوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ اَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَاَيْدِيْهِمْ وَاَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ
Yauma tasyhadu ‘alaihim alsinatuhum wa aidīhim wa arjuluhum bimā kānū ya‘malūn(a).
On a Day when their tongues, their hands and their feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do.
يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يُّوَفِّيْهِمُ اللّٰهُ دِيْنَهُمُ الْحَقَّ وَيَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِيْنُ
Yauma'iżiy yuwaffīhimullāhu dīnahumul-ḥaqqa wa ya‘lamūna annallāha huwal-ḥaqqul-mubīn(u).
That Day, Allāh will pay them in full their true [i.e., deserved] recompense, and they will know that it is Allāh who is the manifest Truth [i.e., perfect in justice].
اَلْخَبِيْثٰتُ لِلْخَبِيْثِيْنَ وَالْخَبِيْثُوْنَ لِلْخَبِيْثٰتِۚ وَالطَّيِّبٰتُ لِلطَّيِّبِيْنَ وَالطَّيِّبُوْنَ لِلطَّيِّبٰتِۚ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ مُبَرَّءُوْنَ مِمَّا يَقُوْلُوْنَۗ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِيْمٌ ࣖ
Al-khabīṡātu lil-khabīṡīna wal-khabīṡūna lil-khabīṡāt(i), waṭ-ṭayyibātu liṭ-ṭayyibīna waṭ-ṭayyibūna liṭ-ṭayyibāt(i), ulā'ika mubarra'ūna mimmā yaqūlūn(a), lahum magfiratuw wa rizqun karīm(un).
Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words. And good words are for good men, and good men are [an object] of good words. Those [good people] are declared innocent of what they [i.e., slanderers] say. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَدْخُلُوْا بُيُوْتًا غَيْرَ بُيُوْتِكُمْ حَتّٰى تَسْتَأْنِسُوْا وَتُسَلِّمُوْا عَلٰٓى اَهْلِهَاۗ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tadkhulū buyūtan gaira buyūtikum ḥattā tasta'nisū wa tusallimū ‘alā ahlihā, żālikum khairul lakum la‘allakum tażakkarūn(a).
O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own houses until you ascertain welcome and greet their inhabitants. That is best for you; perhaps you will be reminded [i.e., advised].
فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَجِدُوْا فِيْهَآ اَحَدًا فَلَا تَدْخُلُوْهَا حَتّٰى يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ وَاِنْ قِيْلَ لَكُمُ ارْجِعُوْا فَارْجِعُوْا هُوَ اَزْكٰى لَكُمْ ۗوَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِيْمٌ
Fa illam tajidū fīhā aḥadan falā tadkhulūhā ḥattā yu'żana lakum wa in qīla lakumurji‘ū farji‘ū huwa azkā lakum, wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna ‘alīm(un).
And if you do not find anyone therein, do not enter them until permission has been given you. And if it is said to you, "Go back," then go back; it is purer for you. And Allāh is Knowing of what you do.
لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوْا بُيُوْتًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُوْنَةٍ فِيْهَا مَتَاعٌ لَّكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُوْنَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ
Laisa ‘alaikum junāḥun an tadkhulū buyūtan gaira maskūnatin fīhā matā‘ul lakum, wallāhu ya‘lamu mā tubdūna wa mā taktumūn(a).
There is no blame upon you for entering houses not inhabited in which there is convenience for you. And Allāh knows what you reveal and what you conceal.
قُلْ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ يَغُضُّوْا مِنْ اَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوْا فُرُوْجَهُمْۗ ذٰلِكَ اَزْكٰى لَهُمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا يَصْنَعُوْنَ
Qul lil-mu'minīna yaguḍḍū min abṡārihim wa yaḥfaẓū furūjahum, żālika azkā lahum, innallāha khabīrum bimā yaṣna‘ūn(a).
Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allāh is [fully] Aware of what they do.
وَقُلْ لِّلْمُؤْمِنٰتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ اَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِيْنَ زِيْنَتَهُنَّ اِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلٰى جُيُوْبِهِنَّۖ وَلَا يُبْدِيْنَ زِيْنَتَهُنَّ اِلَّا لِبُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اٰبَاۤىِٕهِنَّ اَوْ اٰبَاۤءِ بُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اَبْنَاۤىِٕهِنَّ اَوْ اَبْنَاۤءِ بُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ اَوْ بَنِيْٓ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ اَوْ بَنِيْٓ اَخَوٰتِهِنَّ اَوْ نِسَاۤىِٕهِنَّ اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُهُنَّ اَوِ التّٰبِعِيْنَ غَيْرِ اُولِى الْاِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ اَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِيْنَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوْا عَلٰى عَوْرٰتِ النِّسَاۤءِ ۖوَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِاَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِيْنَ مِنْ زِيْنَتِهِنَّۗ وَتُوْبُوْٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ جَمِيْعًا اَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ
Wa qul lil-mu'mināti yagḍuḍna min abṡārihinna wa yaḥfaẓna furūjahunna wa lā yubdīna zīnatahunna illā mā ẓahara minhā walyaḍribna bikhumurihinna ‘alā juyūbihinn(a), wa lā yubdīna zīnatahunna illā libu‘ūlatihinna au ābā'ihinna au abnā'ihinna au abnā'i bu‘ūlatihinna au ikhwānihinna au banī ikhwānihinna au nisā'ihinna au mā malakat aimānuhunna awit-tābi‘īna gairi ulil-irbati minar-rijāli awiṭ-ṭiflil-lażīna lam yaẓharū ‘alā ‘aurātin-nisā'(i), wa lā yaḍribna bi'arjulihinna liyu‘lama mā yukhfīna min zīnatihinn(a), wa tūbū ilallāhi jamī‘an ayyuhal-mu'minūna la‘allakum tufliḥūn(a).
And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment [i.e., beauty] except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess [i.e., slaves], or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allāh in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
وَاَنْكِحُوا الْاَيَامٰى مِنْكُمْ وَالصّٰلِحِيْنَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَاِمَاۤىِٕكُمْۗ اِنْ يَّكُوْنُوْا فُقَرَاۤءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيْمٌ
Wa ankiḥul-ayāmā minkum waṣ-ṣāliḥīna min ‘ibādikum wa imā'ikum, iy yakūnū fuqarā'a yugnihimullāhu min faḍlih(ī), wallāhu wāsi‘un ‘alīm(un).
And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allāh will enrich them from His bounty, and Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَجِدُوْنَ نِكَاحًا حَتّٰى يُغْنِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ يَبْتَغُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ فَكَاتِبُوْهُمْ اِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ فِيْهِمْ خَيْرًا وَّاٰتُوْهُمْ مِّنْ مَّالِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اٰتٰىكُمْ ۗوَلَا تُكْرِهُوْا فَتَيٰتِكُمْ عَلَى الْبِغَاۤءِ اِنْ اَرَدْنَ تَحَصُّنًا لِّتَبْتَغُوْا عَرَضَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۗوَمَنْ يُّكْرِهْهُّنَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اِكْرَاهِهِنَّ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
Walyasta‘fifil-lażīna lā yajidūna nikāḥan ḥattā yugniyahumullāhu min faḍlih(ī), wal-lażīna yabtagūnal-kitāba mimmā malakat aimānukum fa kātibūhum in ‘alimtum fīhim khairaw wa ātūhum mim mālillāhil-lażī ātākum, wa lā tukrihū fatayātikum ‘alal-bigā'i in aradna taḥaṣṣunal litabtagū ‘araḍal-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wa may yukrihhunna fa innallāha mim ba‘di ikrāhihinna gafūrur raḥīm(un).
But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allāh enriches them from His bounty. And those who seek a contract [for eventual emancipation] from among whom your right hands possess - then make a contract with them if you know there is within them goodness and give them from the wealth of Allāh which He has given you. And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of worldly life. And if someone should compel them, then indeed, Allāh is [to them], after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful.
وَلَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَآ اِلَيْكُمْ اٰيٰتٍ مُّبَيِّنٰتٍ وَّمَثَلًا مِّنَ الَّذِيْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ࣖ
Wa laqad anzalnā ilaikum āyātim mubayyinātiw wa maṡalam minal-lażīna khalau min qablikum wa mau‘iẓatal lil-muttaqīn(a).
And We have certainly sent down to you distinct verses and examples from those who passed on before you and an admonition for those who fear Allāh.
۞ اَللّٰهُ نُوْرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ مَثَلُ نُوْرِهٖ كَمِشْكٰوةٍ فِيْهَا مِصْبَاحٌۗ اَلْمِصْبَاحُ فِيْ زُجَاجَةٍۗ اَلزُّجَاجَةُ كَاَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُّوْقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُّبٰرَكَةٍ زَيْتُوْنَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَّلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍۙ يَّكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيْۤءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌۗ نُوْرٌ عَلٰى نُوْرٍۗ يَهْدِى اللّٰهُ لِنُوْرِهٖ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُۗ وَيَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ ۙ
Allāhu nūrus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), maṡalu nūrihī kamisykātin fīhā miṣbāḥ(un), al-miṣbāḥu fī zujājah(tin), az-zujājatu ka'annahā kaukabun durriyyuy yūqadu min syajaratim mubārakatin zaitūnatil lā syarqiyyatiw wa lā garbiyyah(tin), yakādu zaituhā yuḍī'u wa lau lam tamsashu nār(un), nūrun ‘alā nūr(in), yahdillāhu linūrihī may yasyā'(u), wa yaḍribullāhul-amṡāla lin-nās(i), wallāhu bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).
Allāh is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp; the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allāh guides to His light whom He wills. And Allāh presents examples for the people, and Allāh is Knowing of all things.
فِيْ بُيُوْتٍ اَذِنَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيْهَا اسْمُهٗۙ يُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ فِيْهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْاٰصَالِ ۙ
Fī buyūtin ażinallāhu an turfa‘a wa yużkara fīhasmuh(ū), yusabbiḥu lahū fīhā bil-guduwwi wal-āṣāl(i).
[Such niches are] in houses [i.e., mosques] which Allāh has ordered to be raised and that His name be mentioned [i.e., praised] therein; exalting Him within them in the morning and the evenings
رِجَالٌ لَّا تُلْهِيْهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَّلَا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَاِقَامِ الصَّلٰوةِ وَاِيْتَاۤءِ الزَّكٰوةِ ۙيَخَافُوْنَ يَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِيْهِ الْقُلُوْبُ وَالْاَبْصَارُ ۙ
Rijālul lā tulhīhim tijāratuw wa lā bai‘un ‘an żikrillāhi wa iqāmiṣ-ṣalāti wa ītā'iz-zakāh(ti), yakhāfūna yauman tataqallabu fīhil-qulūbu wal-abṣār(u).
[Are] men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allāh and performance of prayer and giving of zakāh. They fear a Day in which the hearts and eyes will [fearfully] turn about -
لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوْا وَيَزِيْدَهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
Liyajziyahumullāhu aḥsana mā ‘amilū wa yazīduhum min faḍlih(ī), wallāhu yarzuqu may yasyā'u bigairi ḥisāb(in).
That Allāh may reward them [according to] the best of what they did and increase them from His bounty. And Allāh gives provision to whom He wills without account [i.e., limit].
وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍۢ بِقِيْعَةٍ يَّحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْاٰنُ مَاۤءًۗ حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا جَاۤءَهٗ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْـًٔا وَّوَجَدَ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗ فَوَفّٰىهُ حِسَابَهٗ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ سَرِيْعُ الْحِسَابِ ۙ
Wal-lażīna kafarū a‘māluhum kasarābim biqī‘atiy yaḥsabuhuẓ-ẓam'ānu mā'ā(n), ḥattā iżā jā'ahū lam yajidhu syai'aw wa wajadallāha ‘indahū fa waffāhu ḥisābah(ū), wallāhu sarī‘ul-ḥisāb(i).
But those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allāh before him, and He will pay him in full his due; and Allāh is swift in account.
اَوْ كَظُلُمٰتٍ فِيْ بَحْرٍ لُّجِّيٍّ يَّغْشٰىهُ مَوْجٌ مِّنْ فَوْقِهٖ مَوْجٌ مِّنْ فَوْقِهٖ سَحَابٌۗ ظُلُمٰتٌۢ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍۗ اِذَآ اَخْرَجَ يَدَهٗ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرٰىهَاۗ وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَجْعَلِ اللّٰهُ لَهٗ نُوْرًا فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ نُّوْرٍ ࣖ
Au kaẓulumātin fī baḥril lujjiyyiy yagsyāhu maujum min fauqihī maujum min fauqihī saḥāb(un), ẓulumātum ba‘ḍuhā fauqa ba‘ḍ(in), iżā akhraja yadahū lam yakad yarāhā, wa mal lam yaj‘alillāhu lahū nūran famā lahū min nūr(in).
Or [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allāh has not granted light - for him there is no light.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَالطَّيْرُ صٰۤفّٰتٍۗ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهٗ وَتَسْبِيْحَهٗۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِمَا يَفْعَلُوْنَ
Alam tara annallāha yusabbiḥu lahū man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi waṭ-ṭairu ṣāffāt(in), kullun qad ‘alima ṣalātahū wa tasbīḥah(ū), wallāhu ‘alīmum bimā yaf‘alūn(a).
Do you not see that Allāh is exalted by whomever is within the heavens and the earth and [by] the birds with wings spread [in flight]? Each [of them] has known his [means of] prayer and exalting [Him], and Allāh is Knowing of what they do.
وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ الْمَصِيْرُ
Wa lillāhi mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa ilallāhil-maṣīr(u).
And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Allāh is the destination.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُزْجِيْ سَحَابًا ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهٗ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهٗ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلٰلِهٖۚ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مِنْ جِبَالٍ فِيْهَا مِنْۢ بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيْبُ بِهٖ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَصْرِفُهٗ عَنْ مَّنْ يَّشَاۤءُۗ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهٖ يَذْهَبُ بِالْاَبْصَارِ ۗ
Alam tara annallāha yuzjī saḥāban ṡumma yu'allifu bainahū ṡumma yaj‘aluhū rukāman fa taral-wadqa yakhruju min khilālih(ī), wa yunazzilu minas-samā'i min jibālin fīhā mim baradin fa yuṣību bihī may yasyā'u wa yaṣrifuhū ‘am may yasyā'(u), yakādu sanā barqihī yażhabu bil-abṣār(i).
Do you not see that Allāh drives clouds? Then He brings them together; then He makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lightning almost takes away the eyesight.
يُقَلِّبُ اللّٰهُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّاُولِى الْاَبْصَارِ
Yuqallibullāhul-laila wan-nahār(a), inna fī żālika la‘ibratal li'ulil-abṣār(i).
Allāh alternates the night and the day. Indeed in that is a lesson for those who have vision.
وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَاۤبَّةٍ مِّنْ مَّاۤءٍۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ عَلٰى بَطْنِهٖۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ عَلٰى رِجْلَيْنِۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ عَلٰٓى اَرْبَعٍۗ يَخْلُقُ اللّٰهُ مَا يَشَاۤءُۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ
Wallāhu khalaqa kulla dābbatim mim mā'(in), fa minhum may yamsyī ‘alā baṭinih(ī), wa minhum may yamsyī ‘alā rijlain(i), wa minhum may yamsyī ‘alā arba‘(in), yakhluqullāhu mā yasyā'(u), innallāha ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).
Allāh has created every [living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allāh creates what He wills. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَآ اٰيٰتٍ مُّبَيِّنٰتٍۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَهْدِيْ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
Laqad anzalnā āyātim mubayyināt(in), wallāhu yahdī may yasyā'u ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm(in).
We have certainly sent down distinct verses. And Allāh guides whom He wills to a straight path.
وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَبِالرَّسُوْلِ وَاَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلّٰى فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَۗ وَمَآ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
Wa yaqūlūna āmannā billāhi wa bir-rasūli wa aṭa‘nā ṡumma yatawallā farīqum minhum mim ba‘di żālik(a), wa mā ulā'ika bil-mu'minīn(a).
But they [i.e., the hypocrites] say, "We have believed in Allāh and in the Messenger, and we obey"; then a party of them turns away after that. And those are not believers.
وَاِذَا دُعُوْٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ اِذَا فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ
Wa iżā du‘ū ilallāhi wa rasūlihī liyaḥkuma bainahum iżā farīqum minhum mu‘riḍūn(a).
And when they are called to [the words of] Allāh and His Messenger to judge between them, at once a party of them turns aside [in refusal].
وَاِنْ يَّكُنْ لَّهُمُ الْحَقُّ يَأْتُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ مُذْعِنِيْنَ
Wa iy yakul lahumul-ḥaqqu ya'tū ilaihi muż‘inīn(a).
But if the right is theirs, they come to him in prompt obedience.
اَفِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ اَمِ ارْتَابُوْٓا اَمْ يَخَافُوْنَ اَنْ يَّحِيْفَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ۗبَلْ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ࣖ
Afī qulūbihim maraḍun amirtābū am yakhāfūna ay yaḥīfallāhu ‘alaihim wa rasūluh(ū), bal ulā'ika humuẓ-ẓālimūn(a).
Is there disease in their hearts? Or have they doubted? Or do they fear that Allāh will be unjust to them, or His Messenger? Rather, it is they who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].
اِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ اِذَا دُعُوْٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَاَطَعْنَاۗ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ
Innamā kāna qaulal-mu'minīna iżā du‘ū ilallāhi wa rasūlihī liyaḥkuma bainahum ay yaqūlū sami‘nā wa aṭa‘nā, wa ulā'ika humul-mufliḥūn(a).
The only statement of the [true] believers when they are called to Allāh and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say, "We hear and we obey." And those are the successful.
وَمَنْ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَيَخْشَ اللّٰهَ وَيَتَّقْهِ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفَاۤىِٕزُوْنَ
Wa may yuṭi‘illāha wa rasūlahū wa yakhsyallāha wa yattaqhi fa ulā'ika humul-fā'izūn(a).
And whoever obeys Allāh and His Messenger and fears Allāh and is conscious of Him - it is those who are the attainers.
۞ وَاَقْسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَيْمَانِهِمْ لَىِٕنْ اَمَرْتَهُمْ لَيَخْرُجُنَّۗ قُلْ لَّا تُقْسِمُوْاۚ طَاعَةٌ مَّعْرُوْفَةٌ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ
Wa aqsamū billāhi jahda aimānihim la'in amartahum layakhrujunn(a), qul lā tuqsimū, ṭā‘atum ma‘rūfah(tun), innallāha khabīrum bimā ta‘malūn(a).
And they swear by Allāh their strongest oaths that if you ordered them, they would go forth [in Allāh's cause]. Say, "Do not swear. [Such] obedience is known. Indeed, Allāh is [fully] Aware of that which you do."
قُلْ اَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَۚ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ مَّا حُمِّلْتُمْۗ وَاِنْ تُطِيْعُوْهُ تَهْتَدُوْاۗ وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِيْنُ
Qul aṭī‘ullāha wa aṭī‘ur-rasūl(a), fa in tawallau fa innamā ‘alaihi mā ḥummila wa ‘alaikum mā ḥummiltum, wa in tuṭī‘ūhu tahtadū, wa mā ‘alar rasūli illal-balāgul-mubīn(u).
Say, "Obey Allāh and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification."
وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۖ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِيْنَهُمُ الَّذِى ارْتَضٰى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ اَمْنًاۗ يَعْبُدُوْنَنِيْ لَا يُشْرِكُوْنَ بِيْ شَيْـًٔاۗ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ
Wa‘adallāhul-lażīna āmanū minkum wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti layastakhlifannahum fil-arḍi kamastakhlafal-lażīna min qablihim, wa layumakkinanna lahum dīnahumul-lażirtaḍā lahum wa layubaddilannahum mim ba‘di khaufihim amnā(n), ya‘budūnanī lā yusyrikūna bī syai'ā(n), wa man kafara ba‘da żālika fa ulā'ika humul-fāsiqūn(a).
Allāh has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.
وَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَطِيْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ
Wa aqīmuṣ-ṣalāta wa ātuz-zakāta wa aṭī‘ur-rasūla la‘allakum turḥamūn(a).
And establish prayer and give zakāh and obey the Messenger - that you may receive mercy.
لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۚ وَمَأْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُۗ وَلَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ ࣖ
Lā taḥsabannal-lażīna kafarū mu‘jizīna fil-arḍ(i), wa ma'wāhumun-nār(u), wa labi'sal-maṣīr(u).
Never think that the disbelievers are causing failure [to Allāh] upon the earth. Their refuge will be the Fire - and how wretched the destination.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لِيَسْتَأْذِنْكُمُ الَّذِيْنَ مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ وَالَّذِيْنَ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحُلُمَ مِنْكُمْ ثَلٰثَ مَرّٰتٍۗ مِنْ قَبْلِ صَلٰوةِ الْفَجْرِ وَحِيْنَ تَضَعُوْنَ ثِيَابَكُمْ مِّنَ الظَّهِيْرَةِ وَمِنْۢ بَعْدِ صَلٰوةِ الْعِشَاۤءِۗ ثَلٰثُ عَوْرٰتٍ لَّكُمْۗ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ جُنَاحٌۢ بَعْدَهُنَّۗ طَوَّافُوْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍۗ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰيٰتِۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū liyasta'żinkumul-lażīna malakat aimānukum wal-lażīna lam yablugul-ḥuluma minkum ṡalāṡa marrāt(in), min qabli ṣalātil-fajri wa ḥīna taḍa‘ūna ṡiyābakum minaẓ-ẓahīrati wa mim ba‘di ṣalātil-‘isyā'(i), ṡalāṡu ‘aurātil lakum, laisa ‘alaikum wa lā ‘alaihim junāḥum ba‘dahunn(a), ṭawwāfūna ‘alaikum ba‘ḍukum ‘alā ba‘ḍ(in), każālika yubayyinullāhu lakumul-āyāt(i), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).
O you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does Allāh make clear to you the verses [i.e., His ordinances]; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
وَاِذَا بَلَغَ الْاَطْفَالُ مِنْكُمُ الْحُلُمَ فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنُوْا كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۗ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰيٰتِهٖۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ
Wa iżā balagal-aṭfālu minkumul-ḥuluma falyasta'żinū kamasta'żanal-lażīna min qablihim, każālika yubayyinullāhu lakum āyātih(ī),wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).
And when the children among you reach puberty, let them ask permission [at all times] as those before them have done. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
وَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاۤءِ الّٰتِيْ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ نِكَاحًا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ يَّضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجٰتٍۢ بِزِيْنَةٍۗ وَاَنْ يَّسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُنَّۗ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ

And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments [but] not displaying adornment. But to modestly refrain [from that] is better for them. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
لَيْسَ عَلَى الْاَعْمٰى حَرَجٌ وَّلَا عَلَى الْاَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَّلَا عَلَى الْمَرِيْضِ حَرَجٌ وَّلَا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَنْ تَأْكُلُوْا مِنْۢ بُيُوْتِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوْتِ اٰبَاۤىِٕكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوْتِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوْتِ اِخْوَانِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوْتِ اَخَوٰتِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوْتِ اَعْمَامِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوْتِ عَمّٰتِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوْتِ اَخْوَالِكُمْ اَوْ بُيُوْتِ خٰلٰتِكُمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَكْتُمْ مَّفَاتِحَهٗٓ اَوْ صَدِيْقِكُمْۗ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَأْكُلُوْا جَمِيْعًا اَوْ اَشْتَاتًاۗ فَاِذَا دَخَلْتُمْ بُيُوْتًا فَسَلِّمُوْا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِكُمْ تَحِيَّةً مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ مُبٰرَكَةً طَيِّبَةً ۗ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰيٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ ࣖ

There is not upon the blind [any] constraint nor upon the lame constraint nor upon the ill constraint nor upon yourselves when you eat from your [own] 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 father's brothers or the houses of your father's sisters or the houses of your mother's brothers or the houses of your mother's sisters or [from houses] whose keys you possess or [from the house] of your friend. There is no blame upon you whether you eat together or separately. But when you enter houses, give greetings of peace upon each other - a greeting from Allāh, blessed and good. Thus does Allāh make clear to you the verses [of ordinance] that you may understand.
اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَاِذَا كَانُوْا مَعَهٗ عَلٰٓى اَمْرٍ جَامِعٍ لَّمْ يَذْهَبُوْا حَتّٰى يَسْتَأْذِنُوْهُۗ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَسْتَأْذِنُوْنَكَ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۚ فَاِذَا اسْتَأْذَنُوْكَ لِبَعْضِ شَأْنِهِمْ فَأْذَنْ لِّمَنْ شِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمُ اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
Innamal-mu'minūnal-lażīna āmanū billāhi wa rasūlihī wa iżā kānū ma‘ahū ‘alā amrin jāmi‘il lam yażhabū ḥattā yasta'żinūh(u), innal-lażīna yasta'żinūnaka ulā'ikal-lażīna yu'minūna billāhi wa rasūlih(ī), fa iżasta'żanūka liba‘ḍi sya'nihim fa'żal liman syi'ta minhum wastagfir lahumullāh(a), innallāha gafūrur raḥīm(un).
The believers are only those who believe in Allāh and His Messenger and, when they are [meeting] with him for a matter of common interest, do not depart until they have asked his permission. Indeed, those who ask your permission, [O Muḥammad] - those are the ones who believe in Allāh and His Messenger. So when they ask your permission due to something of their affairs, then give permission to whom you will among them and ask forgiveness for them of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
لَا تَجْعَلُوْا دُعَاۤءَ الرَّسُوْلِ بَيْنَكُمْ كَدُعَاۤءِ بَعْضِكُمْ بَعْضًاۗ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ يَتَسَلَّلُوْنَ مِنْكُمْ لِوَاذًاۚ فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِيْنَ يُخَالِفُوْنَ عَنْ اَمْرِهٖٓ اَنْ تُصِيْبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ اَوْ يُصِيْبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ
Lā taj‘alū du‘ā'ar-rasūli bainakum kadu‘ā'i ba‘ḍikum ba‘ḍā(n), qad ya'lamullāhul-lażīna yatasallalūna minkum liwāżā(n), falyaḥżaril-lażīna yukhālifūna ‘an amrihī an tuṣībahum fitnatun au yuṣībahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).
Do not make [your] calling of the Messenger among yourselves as the call of one of you to another. Already Allāh knows those of you who slip away, concealed by others. So let those beware who dissent from his [i.e., the Prophet's] order, lest fitnah strike them or a painful punishment.
اَلَآ اِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَآ اَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِۗ وَيَوْمَ يُرْجَعُوْنَ اِلَيْهِ فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوْاۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ ࣖ
Alā inna lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), qad ya‘lamu mā antum ‘alaih(i), wa yauma yurja‘ūna ilaihi fa yunabbi'uhum bimā ‘amilū, wallāhu bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).
Unquestionably, to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. Already He knows that upon which you [stand] and [knows] the Day when they will be returned to Him and He will inform them of what they have done. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.
