An-Nur - The Light

النور
Verse 52

وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ وَيَخشَ اللَّهَ وَيَتَّقهِ فَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الفائِزونَ

Those who obey God and His Messenger, who fear God and are mindful of Him, are the successful ones.

Verse 53

وَأَقسَموا بِاللَّهِ جَهدَ أَيمانِهِم لَئِن أَمَرتَهُم لَيَخرُجُنَّ ۖ قُل لا تُقسِموا ۖ طاعَةٌ مَعروفَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبيرٌ بِما تَعمَلونَ

They swear solemnly by God that they would mobilize if you were to command them. Say, “Don’t swear; true obedience will be recognized. God is fully aware of what you do.”

Verse 54

قُل أَطيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعُوا الرَّسولَ ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَإِنَّما عَلَيهِ ما حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيكُم ما حُمِّلتُم ۖ وَإِن تُطيعوهُ تَهتَدوا ۚ وَما عَلَى الرَّسولِ إِلَّا البَلاغُ المُبينُ

Say, “Obey God and obey the Messenger.” But if they turn away, he is accountable for his duty, and you are accountable for yours. If you obey, you will be guided. It is only incumbent upon the Messenger to deliver the clear message.

Verse 55

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ آمَنوا مِنكُم وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ لَيَستَخلِفَنَّهُم فِي الأَرضِ كَمَا استَخلَفَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُم دينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارتَضىٰ لَهُم وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِن بَعدِ خَوفِهِم أَمنًا ۚ يَعبُدونَني لا يُشرِكونَ بي شَيئًا ۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعدَ ذٰلِكَ فَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الفاسِقونَ

God promises those among you who believe and do good deeds that He will grant them sovereignty on earth, as He did to those before them. And He will establish for them their religion, which He has preferred for them, and replace their fear with security. They will worship Me alone, not associating anything with Me. However, those who disbelieve after this—these are the sinful.

Verse 56

وَأَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكاةَ وَأَطيعُوا الرَّسولَ لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ

Establish prayer, give charity, and obey the Messenger, so that you may receive mercy.

لا تَحسَبَنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مُعجِزينَ فِي الأَرضِ ۚ وَمَأواهُمُ النّارُ ۖ وَلَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

Don’t think that those who disbelieve can escape on earth. Their final abode is the Fire—a terrible destination.

Verse 58

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لِيَستَأذِنكُمُ الَّذينَ مَلَكَت أَيمانُكُم وَالَّذينَ لَم يَبلُغُوا الحُلُمَ مِنكُم ثَلاثَ مَرّاتٍ ۚ مِن قَبلِ صَلاةِ الفَجرِ وَحينَ تَضَعونَ ثِيابَكُم مِنَ الظَّهيرَةِ وَمِن بَعدِ صَلاةِ العِشاءِ ۚ ثَلاثُ عَوراتٍ لَكُم ۚ لَيسَ عَلَيكُم وَلا عَلَيهِم جُناحٌ بَعدَهُنَّ ۚ طَوّافونَ عَلَيكُم بَعضُكُم عَلىٰ بَعضٍ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآياتِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

O you who believe, let your dependents and those who haven’t reached puberty ask for permission in three instances: before the dawn prayer, when you undress at noon, and after the evening prayer. These are three occasions of privacy for you. At other times, it’s not improper for you or them to move about freely, mingling with each other. Thus, God clarifies His verses for you. God is All-Knowing, Most Wise.

Verse 59

وَإِذا بَلَغَ الأَطفالُ مِنكُمُ الحُلُمَ فَليَستَأذِنوا كَمَا استَأذَنَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُم آياتِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

When your children reach puberty, they must also ask for permission, as those before them did. Thus, God makes His commandments clear to you. God is All-Knowing, Most Wise.

Verse 60

وَالقَواعِدُ مِنَ النِّساءِ اللّاتي لا يَرجونَ نِكاحًا فَلَيسَ عَلَيهِنَّ جُناحٌ أَن يَضَعنَ ثِيابَهُنَّ غَيرَ مُتَبَرِّجاتٍ بِزينَةٍ ۖ وَأَن يَستَعفِفنَ خَيرٌ لَهُنَّ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

Elderly women who are past the prospect of marriage can relax their dress code, provided they don’t flaunt their beauty. However, it’s better for them to maintain modesty. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 61

لَيسَ عَلَى الأَعمىٰ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى الأَعرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى المَريضِ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِكُم أَن تَأكُلوا مِن بُيوتِكُم أَو بُيوتِ آبائِكُم أَو بُيوتِ أُمَّهاتِكُم أَو بُيوتِ إِخوانِكُم أَو بُيوتِ أَخَواتِكُم أَو بُيوتِ أَعمامِكُم أَو بُيوتِ عَمّاتِكُم أَو بُيوتِ أَخوالِكُم أَو بُيوتِ خالاتِكُم أَو ما مَلَكتُم مَفاتِحَهُ أَو صَديقِكُم ۚ لَيسَ عَلَيكُم جُناحٌ أَن تَأكُلوا جَميعًا أَو أَشتاتًا ۚ فَإِذا دَخَلتُم بُيوتًا فَسَلِّموا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِكُم تَحِيَّةً مِن عِندِ اللَّهِ مُبارَكَةً طَيِّبَةً ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآياتِ لَعَلَّكُم تَعقِلونَ

There is no blame on the blind, the disabled, the sick, nor upon yourselves if you eat in your own houses, or the houses of your fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, paternal uncles and aunts, maternal uncles and aunts, or in houses whose keys you possess, or in your friends’ houses. There is no blame upon you whether you eat together or separately. When you enter houses, greet each other with a greeting blessed and pure from God. Thus, God clarifies His revelations to you, so you may understand.

Verse 62

إِنَّمَا المُؤمِنونَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ وَإِذا كانوا مَعَهُ عَلىٰ أَمرٍ جامِعٍ لَم يَذهَبوا حَتّىٰ يَستَأذِنوهُ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَستَأذِنونَكَ أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ۚ فَإِذَا استَأذَنوكَ لِبَعضِ شَأنِهِم فَأذَن لِمَن شِئتَ مِنهُم وَاستَغفِر لَهُمُ اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

True believers are those who have faith in God and His Messenger, and when they are with him on a matter of common interest, they don’t leave without seeking his permission. Those who ask your permission are the ones who believe in God and His Messenger. If they request your permission for some of their affairs, grant permission to whomever you wish among them, and ask God for forgiveness for them. God is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.
