Surah An-Nur With English Translations

سُوْرَةٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهَا وَ فَرَضْنٰهَا وَ اَنْزَلْنَا فِیْهَاۤ اٰیٰتٍۭ بَیِّنٰتٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ(1)

[This is] a surah which We have sent down and made obligatory and in which We have revealed clear verses that you may remember. (1)

اَلزَّانِیَةُ وَ الزَّانِیْ فَاجْلِدُوْا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ۪-وَّ لَا تَاْخُذْكُمْ بِهِمَا رَاْفَةٌ فِیْ دِیْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۚ-وَ لْیَشْهَدْ عَذَابَهُمَا طَآىٕفَةٌ مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(2)

The [unmarried] woman or man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with one hundred stripes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion of Allah, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment. (2)

اَلزَّانِیْ لَا یَنْكِحُ اِلَّا زَانِیَةً اَوْ مُشْرِكَةً٘-وَّ الزَّانِیَةُ لَا یَنْكِحُهَاۤ اِلَّا زَانٍ اَوْ مُشْرِكٌۚ-وَ حُرِّمَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(3)

The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or a polytheist, and the [female] fornicator - none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheist, and that has been made unlawful to the believers. (3)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَرْمُوْنَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَاْتُوْا بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَ فَاجْلِدُوْهُمْ ثَمٰنِیْنَ جَلْدَةً وَّ لَا تَقْبَلُوْا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً اَبَدًاۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ(4)

And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses - lash them with eighty stripes and do not ever accept their testimony. And it is those who are the defiantly disobedient, (4)

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ وَ اَصْلَحُوْاۚ-فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(5)

Except for those who repent thereafter and reform, for indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (5)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَرْمُوْنَ اَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَ لَمْ یَكُنْ لَّهُمْ شُهَدَآءُ اِلَّاۤ اَنْفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَادَةُ اَحَدِهِمْ اَرْبَعُ شَهٰدٰتٍۭ بِاللّٰهِۙ-اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ(6)

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 Allah that indeed, he is of the truthful. (6)

وَ الْخَامِسَةُ اَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ(7)

And the fifth [testimony shall be] that the curse of Allah be upon him if he should be of the liars. (7)

وَ یَدْرَؤُا عَنْهَا الْعَذَابَ اَنْ تَشْهَدَ اَرْبَعَ شَهٰدٰتٍۭ بِاللّٰهِۙ-اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ(8)

But it averts punishment from her if she testifies four testimonies [swearing] by Allah that indeed, he is of the liars. (8)

وَ الْخَامِسَةَ اَنَّ غَضَبَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهَاۤ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ(9)

And the fifth [testimony shall be] that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he should be of the truthful. (9)

وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ تَوَّابٌ حَكِیْمٌ(10)

And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy... and because Allah is Accepting of repentance and Wise. (10)

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ جَآءُوْ بِالْاِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِّنْكُمْؕ-لَا تَحْسَبُوْهُ شَرًّا لَّكُمْؕ-بَلْ هُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْؕ-لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ مَّا اكْتَسَبَ مِنَ الْاِثْمِۚ-وَ الَّذِیْ تَوَلّٰى كِبْرَهٗ مِنْهُمْ لَهٗ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ(11)

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 of sin, and for him who took upon himself the main part thereof is a great punishment. (11)

لَوْ لَاۤ اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوْهُ ظَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتُ بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ خَیْرًاۙ-وَّ قَالُوْا هٰذَاۤ اِفْكٌ مُّبِیْنٌ(12)

Why, when you heard it, did not the believing men and believing women think good of one another and say, "This is an obvious falsehood"? (12)

لَوْ لَا جَآءُوْ عَلَیْهِ بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَۚ-فَاِذْ لَمْ یَاْتُوْا بِالشُّهَدَآءِ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الْكٰذِبُوْنَ(13)

Why did they [who slandered] not produce four witnesses upon it? So when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is those who are the liars in the sight of Allah. (13)

وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِیْ مَاۤ اَفَضْتُمْ فِیْهِ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ(14)

And if not for the favor of Allah 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 (14)

اِذْ تَلَقَّوْنَهٗ بِاَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَ تَقُوْلُوْنَ بِاَفْوَاهِكُمْ مَّا لَیْسَ لَكُمْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ وَّ تَحْسَبُوْنَهٗ هَیِّنًا ﳓ وَّ هُوَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ عَظِیْمٌ(15)

When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allah, tremendous. (15)

وَ لَوْ لَاۤ اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوْهُ قُلْتُمْ مَّا یَكُوْنُ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نَّتَكَلَّمَ بِهٰذَا ﳓ سُبْحٰنَكَ هٰذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِیْمٌ(16)

And why, when you heard it, did you not say, "It is not for us to speak of this; exalted are You [O Allah]! This is a great slander."? (16)

یَعِظُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تَعُوْدُوْا لِمِثْلِهٖۤ اَبَدًا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ(17)

Allah warns you against returning to the likes of this [conduct] ever again, if you are believers. (17)

وَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ(18)

And Allah makes clear to you the verses, and Allah is Knowing and Wise. (18)

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یُحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ تَشِیْعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِی الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌۙ-فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ وَ اَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ(19)

Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah knows and you do not know. (19)

وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(20)

And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy... and because Allah is Kind and Merciful. (20)

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّتَّبِـعْ خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِ فَاِنَّهٗ یَاْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَآءِ وَ الْمُنْكَرِؕ-وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ مَا زَكٰى مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَبَدًاۙ-وَّ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُزَكِّیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(21)

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 Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure ever, but Allah purifies whom He wills, and Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (21)

وَ لَا یَاْتَلِ اُولُوا الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَ السَّعَةِ اَنْ یُّؤْتُوْۤا اُولِی الْقُرْبٰى وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنَ وَ الْمُهٰجِرِیْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ﳚ-وَ لْیَعْفُوْا وَ لْیَصْفَحُوْاؕ-اَلَا تُحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ یَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(22)

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 Allah, but let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (22)

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَرْمُوْنَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ الْغٰفِلٰتِ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ لُعِنُوْا فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ۪-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ(23)

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 (23)

یَّوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَیْهِمْ اَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ اَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(24)

On the Day when their tongues, their hands and their feet will testify against them as to what they used to do. (24)

یَوْمَىٕذٍ یُّوَفِّیْهِمُ اللّٰهُ دِیْنَهُمُ الْحَقَّ وَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِیْنُ(25)

That Day, Allah will pay them in full their deserved recompense, and they will know that it is Allah who is the perfect truth. (25)

اَلْخَبِیْثٰتُ لِلْخَبِیْثِیْنَ وَ الْخَبِیْثُوْنَ لِلْخَبِیْثٰتِۚ-وَ الطَّیِّبٰتُ لِلطَّیِّبِیْنَ وَ الطَّیِّبُوْنَ لِلطَّیِّبٰتِۚ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ مُبَرَّءُوْنَ مِمَّا یَقُوْلُوْنَؕ-لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّ رِزْقٌ كَرِیْمٌ(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 noble provision. (26)

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَدْخُلُوْا بُیُوْتًا غَیْرَ بُیُوْتِكُمْ حَتّٰى تَسْتَاْنِسُوْا وَ تُسَلِّمُوْا عَلٰۤى اَهْلِهَاؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ(27)

O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own until you have asked permission and greeted their inhabitants. That is best for you; perhaps you will remember. (27)

فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَجِدُوْا فِیْهَاۤ اَحَدًا فَلَا تَدْخُلُوْهَا حَتّٰى یُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ قِیْلَ لَكُمُ ارْجِعُوْا فَارْجِعُوْا هُوَ اَزْكٰى لَكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِیْمٌ(28)

And if you do not find anyone therein, then do not enter them 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 is Knowing of what you do. (28)

لَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوْا بُیُوْتًا غَیْرَ مَسْكُوْنَةٍ فِیْهَا مَتَاعٌ لَّكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُوْنَ وَ مَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ(29)

There is no blame upon you for entering houses not inhabited in which there is convenience for you. And Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal. (29)

قُلْ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ یَغُضُّوْا مِنْ اَبْصَارِهِمْ وَ یَحْفَظُوْا فُرُوْجَهُمْؕ-ذٰلِكَ اَزْكٰى لَهُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِیْرٌۢ بِمَا یَصْنَعُوْنَ(30)

Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their chastity; that is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Aware of what they do. (30)

وَ قُلْ لِّلْمُؤْمِنٰتِ یَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ اَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَ یَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَهُنَّ وَ لَا یُبْدِیْنَ زِیْنَتَهُنَّ اِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ لْیَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلٰى جُیُوْبِهِنَّ۪-وَ لَا یُبْدِیْنَ زِیْنَتَهُنَّ اِلَّا لِبُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اٰبَآىٕهِنَّ اَوْ اٰبَآءِ بُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اَبْنَآىٕهِنَّ اَوْ اَبْنَآءِ بُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ اَوْ بَنِیْۤ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ اَوْ بَنِیْۤ اَخَوٰتِهِنَّ اَوْ نِسَآىٕهِنَّ اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُهُنَّ اَوِ التّٰبِعِیْنَ غَیْرِ اُولِی الْاِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ اَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یَظْهَرُوْا عَلٰى عَوْرٰتِ النِّسَآءِ۪-وَ لَا یَضْرِبْنَ بِاَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِیُعْلَمَ مَا یُخْفِیْنَ مِنْ زِیْنَتِهِنَّؕ-وَ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ جَمِیْعًا اَیُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ(31)

And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their chastity and not display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and they should extend their headcoverings over their bosoms and not display their 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, 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 Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed. (31)

وَ اَنْكِحُوا الْاَیَامٰى مِنْكُمْ وَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَ اِمَآىٕكُمْؕ-اِنْ یَّكُوْنُوْا فُقَرَآءَ یُغْنِهِمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(32)

And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. (32)

وَ لْیَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَجِدُوْنَ نِكَاحًا حَتّٰى یُغْنِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَبْتَغُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ فَكَاتِبُوْهُمْ اِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ فِیْهِمْ خَیْرًا ﳓ وَّ اٰتُوْهُمْ مِّنْ مَّالِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِیْۤ اٰتٰىكُمْؕ-وَ لَا تُكْرِهُوْا فَتَیٰتِكُمْ عَلَى الْبِغَآءِ اِنْ اَرَدْنَ تَحَصُّنًا لِّتَبْتَغُوْا عَرَضَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّكْرِهْهُّنَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اِكْرَاهِهِنَّ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(33)

But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty. And those who seek a contract [for eventual emancipation] from among those your right hands possess - then write it for them, if you know there is within them goodness. And give them from the wealth of Allah 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 the worldly life. And if someone compels them, then indeed, Allah after their compulsion is Forgiving and Merciful. (33)

وَ لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكُمْ اٰیٰتٍ مُّبَیِّنٰتٍ وَّ مَثَلًا مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَ مَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِیْنَ(34)

And We have certainly sent down to you distinct verses and an example from those who passed on before you and an admonition for the righteous. (34)

اَللّٰهُ نُوْرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-مَثَلُ نُوْرِهٖ كَمِشْكٰوةٍ فِیْهَا مِصْبَاحٌؕ-اَلْمِصْبَاحُ فِیْ زُجَاجَةٍؕ-اَلزُّجَاجَةُ كَاَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّیٌّ یُّوْقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُّبٰرَكَةٍ زَیْتُوْنَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِیَّةٍ وَّ لَا غَرْبِیَّةٍۙ-یَّكَادُ زَیْتُهَا یُضِیْٓءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌؕ-نُوْرٌ عَلٰى نُوْرٍؕ یَهْدِی اللّٰهُ لِنُوْرِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ(35)

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche [for a lamp], in which is a lamp, the lamp is in a 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. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things. (35)

فِیْ بُیُوْتٍ اَذِنَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَ یُذْكَرَ فِیْهَا اسْمُهٗۙ-یُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ فِیْهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْاٰصَالِ(36)

[Such niches are] in mosques which Allah has ordered to be raised and in which His name is mentioned; exalting Him therein in the morning and the evening - (36)

رِجَالٌۙ-لَّا تُلْهِیْهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَّ لَا بَیْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَ اِقَامِ الصَّلٰوةِ وَ اِیْتَآءِ الزَّكٰوةِ ﭪ--یَخَافُوْنَ یَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِیْهِ الْقُلُوْبُ وَ الْاَبْصَارُ(37)

Men whom neither commerce nor sale distract from the remembrance of Allah and performance of prayer and giving of zakah. They fear a Day in which hearts and eyes will [violently] turn about - (37)

لِیَجْزِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوْا وَ یَزِیْدَهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَرْزُقُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ(38)

That Allah may reward them for the best of what they did and increase them from His bounty. And Allah gives provision to whom He wills without account. (38)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍۭ بِقِیْعَةٍ یَّحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْاٰنُ مَآءًؕ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا جَآءَهٗ لَمْ یَجِدْهُ شَیْــٴًـا وَّ وَجَدَ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗ فَوَفّٰىهُ حِسَابَهٗؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ(39)

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 Allah before him, and He will pay him in full his due; and Allah is swift in account. (39)

اَوْ كَظُلُمٰتٍ فِیْ بَحْرٍ لُّجِّیٍّ یَّغْشٰىهُ مَوْجٌ مِّنْ فَوْقِهٖ مَوْجٌ مِّنْ فَوْقِهٖ سَحَابٌؕ-ظُلُمٰتٌۢ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍؕ-اِذَاۤ اَخْرَ جَ یَدَهٗ لَمْ یَكَدْ یَرٰىهَاؕ-وَ مَنْ لَّمْ یَجْعَلِ اللّٰهُ لَهٗ نُوْرًا فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ نُّوْرٍ(40)

Or [their deeds are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, upon which are clouds - darknesses, some of them above others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light. (40)

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ الطَّیْرُ صٰٓفّٰتٍؕ-كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهٗ وَ تَسْبِیْحَهٗؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِمَا یَفْعَلُوْنَ(41)

Do you not see that Allah is exalted by whomever is within the heavens and the earth and [by] the birds with wings spread [in flight]? Each has known his prayer and [way of] exalting [Him]. And Allah is Knowing of what they do. (41)

وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِۚ-وَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ الْمَصِیْرُ(42)

And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah is the [final] destination. (42)

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یُزْجِیْ سَحَابًا ثُمَّ یُؤَلِّفُ بَیْنَهٗ ثُمَّ یَجْعَلُهٗ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ یَخْرُ جُ مِنْ خِلٰلِهٖۚ-وَ یُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِنْ جِبَالٍ فِیْهَا مِنْۢ بَرَدٍ فَیُصِیْبُ بِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَصْرِفُهٗ عَنْ مَّنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-یَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهٖ یَذْهَبُ بِالْاَبْصَارِﭤ(43)

Do you not see that Allah 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 whomever He wills and averts it from whomever He wills. The flash of its lightning almost snatches away the sight. (43)

یُقَلِّبُ اللّٰهُ الَّیْلَ وَ النَّهَارَؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّاُولِی الْاَبْصَارِ(44)

Allah alternates the night and the day. Indeed in that is a lesson for those who have vision. (44)

وَ اللّٰهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَآبَّةٍ مِّنْ مَّآءٍۚ-فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّمْشِیْ عَلٰى بَطْنِهٖۚ-وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّمْشِیْ عَلٰى رِجْلَیْنِۚ-وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّمْشِیْ عَلٰۤى اَرْبَعٍؕ-یَخْلُقُ اللّٰهُ مَا یَشَآءُؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(45)

And Allah has created every [living] creature from water. And among them is that which walks on its belly, and among them is that which walks on two legs, and among them is that which walks on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. (45)

لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اٰیٰتٍ مُّبَیِّنٰتٍؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَهْدِیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(46)

We have certainly sent down distinct verses. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path. (46)

وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَ بِالرَّسُوْلِ وَ اَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ یَتَوَلّٰى فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَؕ-وَ مَاۤ اُولٰٓىٕكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(47)

And they say, "We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger, and we have obeyed"; then a party of them turns away after that. And those are not believers. (47)

وَ اِذَا دُعُوْۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ لِیَحْكُمَ بَیْنَهُمْ اِذَا فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ(48)

And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them, at once a party of them turns away [in refusal]. (48)

وَ اِنْ یَّكُنْ لَّهُمُ الْحَقُّ یَاْتُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ مُذْعِنِیْنَﭤ(49)

But if the right is theirs, they come to him in willing submission. (49)

اَفِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ اَمِ ارْتَابُوْۤا اَمْ یَخَافُوْنَ اَنْ یَّحِیْفَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗؕ-بَلْ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ(50)

Is there disease in their hearts, or have they doubted, or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust to them? Rather, it is they who are the wrongdoers. (50)

اِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اِذَا دُعُوْۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ لِیَحْكُمَ بَیْنَهُمْ اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَ اَطَعْنَاؕ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ(51)

The only statement of the [true] 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 are the successful. (51)

وَ مَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ وَ یَخْشَ اللّٰهَ وَ یَتَّقْهِ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْفَآىٕزُوْنَ(52)

And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and fears Allah and is conscious of Him - it is those who are the attainers [of success]. (52)

وَ اَقْسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَیْمَانِهِمْ لَىٕنْ اَمَرْتَهُمْ لَیَخْرُجُنَّؕ-قُلْ لَّا تُقْسِمُوْاۚ-طَاعَةٌ مَّعْرُوْفَةٌؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِیْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(53)

And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths that if you ordered them [to march forth], they would surely go out [with you]. Say, "Do not swear. [Obedience is] known [to be expected]. Indeed, Allah is Aware of what you do." (53)

قُلْ اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اَطِیْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَۚ-فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنَّمَا عَلَیْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَ عَلَیْكُمْ مَّا حُمِّلْتُمْؕ-وَ اِنْ تُطِیْعُوْهُ تَهْتَدُوْاؕ-وَ مَا عَلَى الرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِیْنُ(54)

Say, "Obey Allah 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 guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [clear] conveyance." (54)

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْ وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰالِحٰتِ لَیَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ۪-وَ لَیُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِیْنَهُمُ الَّذِی ارْتَضٰى لَهُمْ وَ لَیُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ اَمْنًاؕ-یَعْبُدُوْنَنِیْ لَا یُشْرِكُوْنَ بِیْ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-وَ مَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ(55)

Allah 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. (55)

وَ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَ اَطِیْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ(56)

And establish prayer and give zakah and obey the Messenger - that you may receive mercy. (56)

لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مُعْجِزِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِۚ-وَ مَاْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُؕ-وَ لَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ(57)

Never think that those who disbelieve are causing failure [to Allah] upon the earth. Their refuge will be the Fire, and how wretched is the destination. (57)

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لِیَسْتَاْذِنْكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ وَ الَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یَبْلُغُوا الْحُلُمَ مِنْكُمْ ثَلٰثَ مَرّٰتٍؕ-مِنْ قَبْلِ صَلٰوةِ الْفَجْرِ وَ حِیْنَ تَضَعُوْنَ ثِیَابَكُمْ مِّنَ الظَّهِیْرَةِ وَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ صَلٰوةِ الْعِشَآءِ۫ؕ-ثَلٰثُ عَوْرٰتٍ لَّكُمْؕ-لَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ لَا عَلَیْهِمْ جُنَاحٌۢ بَعْدَهُنَّؕ-طَوّٰفُوْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ(58)

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 three times [a day]: 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 or upon them beyond these times, for they continually circulate among you - some of you among others. Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses, and Allah is Knowing and Wise. (58)

وَ اِذَا بَلَغَ الْاَطْفَالُ مِنْكُمُ الْحُلُمَ فَلْیَسْتَاْذِنُوْا كَمَا اسْتَاْذَنَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰیٰتِهٖؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ(59)

And when the children among you reach puberty, let them ask permission [at all times] as those before them have done. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses, and Allah is Knowing and Wise. (59)

وَ الْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ الّٰتِیْ لَا یَرْجُوْنَ نِكَاحًا فَلَیْسَ عَلَیْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ یَّضَعْنَ ثِیَابَهُنَّ غَیْرَ مُتَبَرِّجٰتٍۭ بِزِیْنَةٍؕ-وَ اَنْ یَّسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَیْرٌ لَّهُنَّؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(60)

And as for women past childbearing who do not expect marriage, there is no blame upon them for putting aside their [outer] garments, provided that they do not display [any] adornment. But to restrain themselves is better for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (60)

لَیْسَ عَلَى الْاَعْمٰى حَرَجٌ وَّ لَا عَلَى الْاَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَّ لَا عَلَى الْمَرِیْضِ حَرَجٌ وَّ لَا عَلٰۤى اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَنْ تَاْكُلُوْا مِنْۢ بُیُوْتِكُمْ اَوْ بُیُوْتِ اٰبَآىٕكُمْ اَوْ بُیُوْتِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ اَوْ بُیُوْتِ اِخْوَانِكُمْ اَوْ بُیُوْتِ اَخَوٰتِكُمْ اَوْ بُیُوْتِ اَعْمَامِكُمْ اَوْ بُیُوْتِ عَمّٰتِكُمْ اَوْ بُیُوْتِ اَخْوَالِكُمْ اَوْ بُیُوْتِ خٰلٰتِكُمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَكْتُمْ مَّفَاتِحَهٗۤ اَوْ صَدِیْقِكُمْؕ-لَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَاْكُلُوْا جَمِیْعًا اَوْ اَشْتَاتًاؕ-فَاِذَا دَخَلْتُمْ بُیُوْتًا فَسَلِّمُوْا عَلٰۤى اَنْفُسِكُمْ تَحِیَّةً مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ مُبٰرَكَةً طَیِّبَةًؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ(61)

There is no blame upon the blind, nor upon the handicapped, nor upon the ill, nor upon yourselves for eating 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 paternal uncles or the houses of your paternal aunts or the houses of your maternal uncles or the houses of your maternal aunts 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 Allah, blessed and good. Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses [of law] that you may use reason. (61)

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ وَ اِذَا كَانُوْا مَعَهٗ عَلٰۤى اَمْرٍ جَامِعٍ لَّمْ یَذْهَبُوْا حَتّٰى یَسْتَاْذِنُوْهُؕ-اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَسْتَاْذِنُوْنَكَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖۚ-فَاِذَا اسْتَاْذَنُوْكَ لِبَعْضِ شَاْنِهِمْ فَاْذَنْ لِّمَنْ شِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمُ اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(62)

The [true] believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger and, when they are [gathered] with him for a common matter, do not depart until they have asked his permission. Indeed, those who ask your permission, [O Muhammad] - those are the ones who believe in Allah and His Messenger. So when they ask your permission for some of their affairs, then give permission to whom you will among them and ask forgiveness for them of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (62)

لَا تَجْعَلُوْا دُعَآءَ الرَّسُوْلِ بَیْنَكُمْ كَدُعَآءِ بَعْضِكُمْ بَعْضًاؕ-قَدْ یَعْلَمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ یَتَسَلَّلُوْنَ مِنْكُمْ لِوَاذًاۚ-فَلْیَحْذَرِ الَّذِیْنَ یُخَالِفُوْنَ عَنْ اَمْرِهٖۤ اَنْ تُصِیْبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ اَوْ یُصِیْبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(63)

Do not make [your] calling of the Messenger among yourselves as the call of one of you to another. Allah already knows those of you who slip away, concealed by others. So let those beware who dissent from his [i.e., Muhammad's] order, lest fitnah [trial, affliction, or punishment] strike them or a painful punishment strike them. (63)

اَلَاۤ اِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-قَدْ یَعْلَمُ مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ عَلَیْهِؕ-وَ یَوْمَ یُرْجَعُوْنَ اِلَیْهِ فَیُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوْاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ(64)

Unquestionably, to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. He already knows that upon which you [stand]. And [beware the] Day when they will be returned to Him, and He will inform them of what they have done. And Allah is Knowing of all things. (64)
