Quraan
24. An-Noor - (The Light)

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:1]
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.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:2]
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.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:3]
Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry and 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.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:4]
And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-
English Yusuf Ali: [24:5]
Unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct); for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. PICKTHAL: Save those who afterward repent and make amends. (For such) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. SHAKIR: Except those who repent after this and act aright, for surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. KHALIFA: If they repent afterwards and reform, then GOD is Forgiver, Merciful.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:6]
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;
English Yusuf Ali: [24:7]
And the fifth (oath) (should be) that they solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on themselves if they tell a lie.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:8]
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;
English Yusuf Ali: [24:9]
And the fifth (oath) should be that she solemnly invokes the wrath of Allah on herself if (her accuser) is telling the truth.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:10]
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).
English Yusuf Ali: [24:11]
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.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:12]
Why did not the 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"?
English Yusuf Ali: [24:13]
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!
English Yusuf Ali: [24:14]
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.
English Yusuf Ali: [24:15]
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.
