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.
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.
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.
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.
يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَدخُلوا بُيوتًا غَيرَ بُيوتِكُم حَتّىٰ تَستَأنِسوا وَتُسَلِّموا عَلىٰ أَهلِها ۚ ذٰلِكُم خَيرٌ لَكُم لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرونَ
O you who believe, don’t enter homes other than your own until you have sought permission and greeted its inhabitants. This is better for you, that you may be mindful.
فَإِن لَم تَجِدوا فيها أَحَدًا فَلا تَدخُلوها حَتّىٰ يُؤذَنَ لَكُم ۖ وَإِن قيلَ لَكُمُ ارجِعوا فَارجِعوا ۖ هُوَ أَزكىٰ لَكُم ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ عَليمٌ
If you find no one therein, don’t enter until your permission has been granted. If you’re asked to leave, then turn back. God is fully aware of what you do.
لَيسَ عَلَيكُم جُناحٌ أَن تَدخُلوا بُيوتًا غَيرَ مَسكونَةٍ فيها مَتاعٌ لَكُم ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ ما تُبدونَ وَما تَكتُمونَ
There is no fault in you for entering houses not inhabited, where there is convenience for you. God knows what you disclose and what you conceal.
قُل لِلمُؤمِنينَ يَغُضّوا مِن أَبصارِهِم وَيَحفَظوا فُروجَهُم ۚ ذٰلِكَ أَزكىٰ لَهُم ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبيرٌ بِما يَصنَعونَ
Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their privates. That is purer for them, and God fully knows what they do.
وَقُل لِلمُؤمِناتِ يَغضُضنَ مِن أَبصارِهِنَّ وَيَحفَظنَ فُروجَهُنَّ وَلا يُبدينَ زينَتَهُنَّ إِلّا ما ظَهَرَ مِنها ۖ وَليَضرِبنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلىٰ جُيوبِهِنَّ ۖ وَلا يُبدينَ زينَتَهُنَّ إِلّا لِبُعولَتِهِنَّ أَو آبائِهِنَّ أَو آباءِ بُعولَتِهِنَّ أَو أَبنائِهِنَّ أَو أَبناءِ بُعولَتِهِنَّ أَو إِخوانِهِنَّ أَو بَني إِخوانِهِنَّ أَو بَني أَخَواتِهِنَّ أَو نِسائِهِنَّ أَو ما مَلَكَت أَيمانُهُنَّ أَوِ التّابِعينَ غَيرِ أُولِي الإِربَةِ مِنَ الرِّجالِ أَوِ الطِّفلِ الَّذينَ لَم يَظهَروا عَلىٰ عَوراتِ النِّساءِ ۖ وَلا يَضرِبنَ بِأَرجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعلَمَ ما يُخفينَ مِن زينَتِهِنَّ ۚ وَتوبوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَميعًا أَيُّهَ المُؤمِنونَ لَعَلَّكُم تُفلِحونَ
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze, to guard their chastity, and not to display their beauty beyond what appears thereof. They should draw their veils over their chests and not display their beauty except to their husbands, fathers, fathers-in-law, sons, stepsons, brothers, the sons of their sisters, female relatives, their dependents, male servants devoid of sexual desires, and children who are unaware of women’s nakedness. They shouldn’t stamp their feet to draw attention to their hidden beauty. O believers, turn to God in repentance, so you may succeed.
وَأَنكِحُوا الأَيامىٰ مِنكُم وَالصّالِحينَ مِن عِبادِكُم وَإِمائِكُم ۚ إِن يَكونوا فُقَراءَ يُغنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضلِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ واسِعٌ عَليمٌ
Marry off the singles among you, and the righteous among your male and female servants. If they are poor, God will enrich them from His bounty. God is Bountiful, All-Knowing.
وَليَستَعفِفِ الَّذينَ لا يَجِدونَ نِكاحًا حَتّىٰ يُغنِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضلِهِ ۗ وَالَّذينَ يَبتَغونَ الكِتابَ مِمّا مَلَكَت أَيمانُكُم فَكاتِبوهُم إِن عَلِمتُم فيهِم خَيرًا ۖ وَآتوهُم مِن مالِ اللَّهِ الَّذي آتاكُم ۚ وَلا تُكرِهوا فَتَياتِكُم عَلَى البِغاءِ إِن أَرَدنَ تَحَصُّنًا لِتَبتَغوا عَرَضَ الحَياةِ الدُّنيا ۚ وَمَن يُكرِههُنَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مِن بَعدِ إِكراهِهِنَّ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ
Let those who don’t find marriage abstain, until God enriches them from His grace. If any of your servants desire literacy, provide it, if you recognize any good in them. Give them from the wealth that God has given you. Don’t compel your maids into prostitution for worldly gains if they wish to remain virtuous. However, if anyone compels them, then after their compulsion, God is Forgiving and Merciful.
