An-Nur 24:21

An-Nur - The Light

النور

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَتَّبِعوا خُطُواتِ الشَّيطانِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّبِع خُطُواتِ الشَّيطانِ فَإِنَّهُ يَأمُرُ بِالفَحشاءِ وَالمُنكَرِ ۚ وَلَولا فَضلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم وَرَحمَتُهُ ما زَكىٰ مِنكُم مِن أَحَدٍ أَبَدًا وَلـٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُزَكّي مَن يَشاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

O you who believe, don’t follow Satan’s footsteps. Whoever follows Satan’s footsteps—he orders immorality and what’s objectionable. If not for God’s grace and mercy upon you, none of you would ever be purified. But God purifies whom He wills. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 22

وَلا يَأتَلِ أُولُو الفَضلِ مِنكُم وَالسَّعَةِ أَن يُؤتوا أُولِي القُربىٰ وَالمَساكينَ وَالمُهاجِرينَ في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَليَعفوا وَليَصفَحوا ۗ أَلا تُحِبّونَ أَن يَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

And let those of abundance and ample means among you not swear to withhold their help from their relatives, the needy, and the emigrants in the cause of God. Let them forgive and overlook. Don’t you wish for God to forgive you? God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 23

إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَرمونَ المُحصَناتِ الغافِلاتِ المُؤمِناتِ لُعِنوا فِي الدُّنيا وَالآخِرَةِ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ عَظيمٌ

Those who falsely accuse innocent, unsuspecting, believing women are cursed in this world and in the Hereafter, and for them is a terrible punishment.

Verse 24

يَومَ تَشهَدُ عَلَيهِم أَلسِنَتُهُم وَأَيديهِم وَأَرجُلُهُم بِما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

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

Verse 25

يَومَئِذٍ يُوَفّيهِمُ اللَّهُ دينَهُمُ الحَقَّ وَيَعلَمونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الحَقُّ المُبينُ

On that Day, God will settle their accounts in full, and they will know that God is the Evident Truth.

Verse 26

الخَبيثاتُ لِلخَبيثينَ وَالخَبيثونَ لِلخَبيثاتِ ۖ وَالطَّيِّباتُ لِلطَّيِّبينَ وَالطَّيِّبونَ لِلطَّيِّباتِ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ مُبَرَّءونَ مِمّا يَقولونَ ۖ لَهُم مَغفِرَةٌ وَرِزقٌ كَريمٌ

Wicked women are for wicked men, and evil men are for evil women. And good women are for good men, and virtuous men are for virtuous women. These are clear of what people say. For them, there is forgiveness and a generous provision.
