SURA NOOR
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

A Sura which We have sent down and which We have ordained: In it have We sent down Clear Signs, in order that ye may receive admonition.
The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication, -- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: And let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry any but a woman similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever, nor let any but such a man or an Unbeliever marry such a woman: To the Believers such a thing is forbidden.
And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, (to support their allegation), flog them with eighty stripes: And reject their evidence ever after: For such men are wicked transgressors
Unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct): For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
And for those who launch a charge against their spouses, and have (in support) no evidence but their own, -- their solitary evidence (can be received) if they bear witness four times (with an oath) by Allah that they are solemnly telling the truth;
And the fifth (oath) (should be) that they solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on themselves if they tell a lie.
But it would avert the punishment from the wife, if she bears witness four times (with an oath) by Allah, that (her husband) is telling a lie;
And the fifth (oath) should be that she solemnly invokes the wrath of Allah on herself if (her accuser) is telling the truth.
If it were not for Allah's grace and mercy on you, and that Allah is Oft- Returning, Full of Wisdom, (ye would be ruined indeed).
Those who brought forward the lie are a body among yourselves: Think it not to be an evil to you: On the contrary it is good for you: To every man among them (will come the punishment) of the sin that he earned, and to him who took on himself the lead among them, will be a Penalty grievous.
Why did not Believers -- men and women -- when ye heard of the affair, -- put the best construction on it in their own minds and say, "This (charge) is an obvious lie"?
Why did they not bring four witnesses to prove it? When they have not brought the witnesses, such men, in the sight of Allah, (stand forth) themselves as liars!
Were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, in this world and the Hereafter, a grievous penalty would have seized you in that ye rushed glibly into this affair.
Behold, ye received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things of which ye had no knowledge; and ye thought it to be a light matter, while it was most serious in the sight of Allah.
And why did ye not, when ye heard it, say -- "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to Allah! this is a most serious slander!"
Allah doth admonish you, that ye may never repeat such (conduct), if ye are (true) Believers.
And Allah makes the Signs plain to you: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
Those who love (to see) scandal published broadcast among the Believers, will have a grievous Penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: Allah knows, and ye know not.
Were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, and that Allah is full of kindness and mercy (ye would be ruined indeed).
O ye who believe! follow not Satan's footsteps: If any will follow the footsteps of Satan, he will (but) command what is shameful and wrong: And were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, not one of you would ever have been pure: But Allah doth purify whom He pleases: And Allah is One Who hears and knows (all things).
Let not those among you who are endued with grace and amplitude of means resolve by oath against helping their kinsmen, those in want, and those who have left their homes in Allah's cause: Let them forgive and overlook: Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Those who slander chaste women, indiscreet but believing, are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter: for them is a grievous Penalty, --
On the Day when their tongues, their hands, and their feet will bear witness against them as to their actions.
On that Day Allah will pay them back (all) their just dues, and they will realize that Allah is the (very) Truth, that makes all things manifest.
