An-Nur

The fornicatress and the fornicator, inflict on each of them a hundred strokes on the skin,

الراٮٮه والراٮى ڡاحلدوا كل وحد مٮهما ماٮه حلده

and let no kindness for them seize you in the Law of God, if you believe in God and the Last Day;

ولا ٮاحدكم ٮهما راڡه ڡى دٮں الله اں كٮٮم ٮومٮوں ٮالله والٮوم الاحر

The fornicator takes as wife only a fornicatress or an associator,

الراٮى لا ٮٮكح الا راٮٮه او مسركه

and the fornicatress, only a fornicator or an associator takes her as wife;

والراٮٮه لا ٮٮكحها الا راں او مسرك

Those who came with the distortion are indeed a group from among you; do not think it is an ill for you,

اں الدٮں حاو ٮالاڡك عصٮه مٮكم لا ٮحسٮوه سرا لكم

no, it is a good for you.

ٮل هو حٮر لكم

To each person among them, what they have earned of transgression,

لكل امرى مٮهم ما اكٮسٮ مں الاٮم

If only they had brought four witnesses concerning it!

لولا حاو علٮه ٮارٮعه سهدا

And God makes the signs clear to you,

وٮٮٮں الله لكم الاٮٮ

Those who love that indecency should spread among those who believe will indeed have a painful punishment, in the present life and the last life,

اں الدٮں ٮحٮوں اں ٮسٮع الڡحسه ڡى الدٮں امٮوا لهم عداٮ الٮم ڡى الدٮٮا والاحره

and God knows,

والله ٮعلم

O you who have believed! Do not follow the footsteps of the Diverter;

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لا ٮٮٮعوا حطوٮ السٮطں

and whoever follows the footsteps of the Diverter — he indeed commands indecency and what is disavowed.

ومں ٮٮٮع حطوٮ السٮطں ڡاٮه ٮامر ٮالڡحسا والمٮكر

And were it not for the favor of God upon you and His benevolence, not one of you would ever have been purified,

ولولا ڡصل الله علٮكم ورحمٮه ما ركى مٮكم مں احد اٮدا

but God purifies whom He wills,

ولكں الله ٮركى مں ٮسا

And let not those among you who have favor and ampleness swear not to give to their relatives, the destitute, and those who emigrated in the way of God,

ولا ٮاٮل اولوا الڡصل مٮكم والسعه اں ٮوٮوا اولى الڡرٮى والمسكٮں والمهحرٮں ڡى سٮٮل الله

and let them rather overlook and turn the page.

ولٮعڡوا ولٮصڡحوا

Would you not love for God to forgive you?

الا ٮحٮوں اں ٮعڡر الله لكم

That day, God will faithfully repay them their just due,

ٮومٮد ٮوڡٮهم الله دٮٮهم الحٯ

The vile for the vile, and the vile for the vile;

الحٮٮٮٮ للحٮٮٮٮں والحٮٮٮوں للحٮٮٮٮ

and the wholesome for the wholesome, and the wholesome for the wholesome.

والطٮٮٮ للطٮٮٮں والطٮٮوں للطٮٮٮ

Those are made quit of what is said;

اولٮك مٮروں مما ٮڡولوں

O you who have believed! Do not enter houses other than your own until you have made yourselves known and greeted their occupants —

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لا ٮدحلوا ٮٮوٮا عٮر ٮٮوٮكم حٮى ٮسٮاٮسوا وٮسلموا على اهلها

If you find no one therein, do not enter until you are given permission;

ڡاں لم ٮحدوا ڡٮها احدا ڡلا ٮدحلوها حٮى ٮودں لكم

and if you are told: "Return," then return — it is purer for you.

واں ڡٮل لكم ارحعوا ڡارحعوا هو اركى لكم

No blame upon you for entering uninhabited houses in which there is a use for you.

لٮس علٮكم حٮاح اں ٮدحلوا ٮٮوٮا عٮر مسكوٮه ڡٮها مٮع لكم

Say to the believing men to cast down their sights and preserve their private parts — that is purer for them.

ڡل للمومٮٮں ٮعصوا مں اٮصرهم وٮحڡطوا ڡروحهم دلك اركى لهم

And say to the believing women to cast down their sights and preserve their private parts,

وڡل للمومٮٮ ٮعصصں مں اٮصرهں وٮحڡطں ڡروحهں

and not to make appear that which, in them, arouses desire, except what of it is uncovered,

ولا ٮٮدٮں رٮٮٮهں الا ما طهر مٮها

and let them multiply their covering cloth over the neckline of their chest,

ولٮصرٮں ٮحمرهں على حٮوٮهں

and let them not make appear what, in them, arouses desire, except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husbands' fathers, or their sons, or their husbands' sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or the women of their circle, or those bound by oath, or male attendants devoid of desire, or children to whom women's private matters are not yet uncovered.

ولا ٮٮدٮں رٮٮٮهں الا لٮعولٮهں او اٮاٮهں او اٮا ٮعولٮهں او اٮٮاٮهں او اٮٮا ٮعولٮهں او احوٮهں او ٮٮى احوٮهں او ٮٮى احوٮهں او ٮساٮهں او ما ملكٮ اٮمٮهں او الٮٮعٮں عٮر اولى الارٮه مں الرحال او الطڡل الدٮں لم ٮطهروا على عورٮ الٮسا

And let them not multiply their steps so as to make known what they hide of what arouses desire in them.

ولا ٮصرٮں ٮارحلهں لٮعلم ما ٮحڡٮں مں رٮٮٮهں

And marry the unmarried among you, as well as those who are sound among your male and female obedient ones.

واٮكحوا الاٮمى مٮكم والصلحٮں مں عٮادكم واماٮكم

If they are poor, God will enrich them from His favor.

اں ٮكوٮوا ڡڡرا ٮعٮهم الله مں ڡصله

And let those who do not find marriage refrain, until God enriches them from His favor.

ولٮسٮعڡڡ الدٮں لا ٮحدوں ٮكاحا حٮى ٮعٮٮهم الله مں ڡصله

And those, among those bound by oath, who seek the written deed of marriage, draw up that deed with them if you know good in them,

والدٮں ٮٮٮعوں الكٮٮ مما ملكٮ اٮمٮكم ڡكاٮٮوهم اں علمٮم ڡٮهم حٮرا

and give them from the goods of God which He has given you.

واٮوهم مں مال الله الدى اٮٮكم

And do not compel your young women to prostitution, if they wish to be protected, seeking merely the goods of the present life.

ولا ٮكرهوا ڡٮٮٮكم على الٮعا اں اردں ٮحصٮا لٮٮٮعوا عرص الحٮوه الدٮٮا

God is the Light of the heavens and the earth.

الله ٮور السموٮ والارص

The example of His Light is like a niche wherein is a lamp.

مٮل ٮوره كمسكوه ڡٮها مصٮاح

The lamp is in a glass.

المصٮاح ڡى رحاحه

The glass is like a brilliant heavenly body, kindled from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is about to glow forth even without fire touching it.

الرحاحه كاٮها كوكٮ درى ٮوڡد مں سحره مٮركه رٮٮوٮه لا سرڡٮه ولا عرٮٮه ٮكاد رٮٮها ٮصى ولو لم ٮمسسه ٮار

Light upon light.

ٮور على ٮور

God guides to His Light whom He wills,

ٮهدى الله لٮوره مں ٮسا

and God multiplies examples for mankind,

وٮصرٮ الله الامٮل للٮاس

fearing a day when the cores and the sights will capsize, so that God may recompense them according to the most beautiful of what they have done, and give them more of His favor.

ٮحاڡوں ٮوما ٮٮڡلٮ ڡٮه الڡلوٮ والاٮصر لٮحرٮهم الله احسں ما عملوا وٮرٮدهم مں ڡصله

And those who disown, their works are like a mirage in a desert plain, which the thirsty one takes for water, until, when he comes to it, he finds nothing, but he finds God there, who faithfully squares his account.

والدٮں كڡروا اعملهم كسراٮ ٮڡٮعه ٮحسٮه الطماں ما حٮى ادا حاه لم ٮحده سٮا ووحد الله عٮده ڡوڡٮه حساٮه

Or like darknesses on a deep, surging sea: a wave covers it, above which is another wave, above which is a cloud —

او كطلمٮ ڡى ٮحر لحى ٮعسٮه موح مں ڡوڡه موح مں ڡوڡه سحاٮ

darknesses, one above another:

طلمٮ ٮعصها ڡوٯ ٮعص

when he puts out his hand, he can hardly see it.

ادا احرح ٮده لم ٮكد ٮرٮها

Have you not seen that God — He is glorified by those in the heavens and on the earth, and the birds aligning their wings?

الم ٮر اں الله ٮسٮح له مں ڡى السموٮ والارص والطٮر صڡٮ

Each one knows its Contact and its glorification,

كل ڡد علم صلاٮه وٮسٮٮحه

And to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth,

ولله ملك السموٮ والارص

Have you not seen that God makes the clouds glide, then joins them together, then makes them into a mass, and you see the shower come out from within it?

الم ٮر اں الله ٮرحى سحاٮا ٮم ٮولڡ ٮٮٮه ٮم ٮحعله ركاما ڡٮرى الودٯ ٮحرح مں حلله

And He sends down from the sky, from mountains therein, hail, with which He strikes whom He wills, and which He turns away from whom He wills;

وٮٮرل مں السما مں حٮال ڡٮها مں ٮرد ڡٮصٮٮ ٮه مں ٮسا وٮصرڡه عں مں ٮسا

God alternates the night and the day.

ٮڡلٮ الله الٮل والٮهار

And God created every living being from water.

والله حلٯ كل داٮه مں ما

Among them is one that walks on its belly,

ڡمٮهم مں ٮمسى على ٮطٮه

and among them is one that walks on two feet,

ومٮهم مں ٮمسى على رحلٮں

and among them is one that walks on four.

ومٮهم مں ٮمسى على ارٮع

God creates what He wills,

ٮحلٯ الله ما ٮسا

We have sent down clear signs,

لڡد اٮرلٮا اٮٮ مٮٮٮٮ

And they say: "We believe in God and in the messenger, and we defer" — then a fraction among them turns its back after that;

وٮڡولوں امٮا ٮالله وٮالرسول واطعٮا ٮم ٮٮولى ڡرٮٯ مٮهم مں ٮعد دلك

Is there a sickness in their cores, or do they doubt, or do they fear that God and His messenger will lean against them?

اڡى ڡلوٮهم مرص ام ارٮاٮوا ام ٮحاڡوں اں ٮحٮڡ الله علٮهم ورسوله

The only saying of the believers, when they are called to God and His messenger so that he may judge between them, is to say: "We have heard and we have deferred."

اٮما كاں ڡول المومٮٮں ادا دعوا الى الله ورسوله لٮحكم ٮٮٮهم اں ٮڡولوا سمعٮا واطعٮا

And they swore by God, with the utmost strength of their oaths, that if you ordered them, they would surely go forth.

واڡسموا ٮالله حهد اٮمٮهم لٮں امرٮهم لٮحرحں

Say: "Do not swear;

ڡل لا ٮڡسموا

a recognized deference!

طاعه معروڡه

Say: "Defer to God and defer to the messenger;

ڡل اطٮعوا الله واطٮعوا الرسول

but if you turn your backs, upon him rests only what he has been made to carry, and upon you rests only what you have been made to carry.

ڡاں ٮولوا ڡاٮما علٮه ما حمل وعلٮكم ما حملٮم

And if you defer to him, you will let yourselves be guided.

واں ٮطٮعوه ٮهٮدوا

And God has promised those among you who believe and do sound deeds that He will surely make them successors on the earth, as He made successors those before them, that He will surely establish firmly for them their Law which He has approved for them, and that He will surely change their state, after their fear, into security.

وعد الله الدٮں امٮوا مٮكم وعملوا الصلحٮ لٮسٮحلڡٮهم ڡى الارص كما اسٮحلڡ الدٮں مں ڡٮلهم ولٮمكٮں لهم دٮٮهم الدى ارٮصى لهم ولٮٮدلٮهم مں ٮعد حوڡهم امٮا

They obey Me without associating anything with Me.

ٮعٮدوٮٮى لا ٮسركوں ٮى سٮا

And maintain the Contact, and give pure liberality,

واڡٮموا الصلوه واٮوا الركوه

Do not ever think that those who disown can render Him powerless on the earth;

لا ٮحسٮں الدٮں كڡروا معحرٮں ڡى الارص

and their resort is the Fire,

وماوٮهم الٮار

O you who have believed! Let those bound by oath and those among you who have not yet reached the age of composure ask your permission at three times: before the Contact of dawn, when you lay aside your clothes at midday, and after the Contact of evening —

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لٮسٮدٮكم الدٮں ملكٮ اٮمٮكم والدٮں لم ٮٮلعوا الحلم مٮكم ٮلٮ مرٮ مں ڡٮل صلوه الڡحر وحٮں ٮصعوں ٮٮاٮكم مں الطهٮره ومں ٮعد صلوه العسا

three times of privacy for you.

ٮلٮ عورٮ لكم

No blame, neither upon you nor upon them, outside these times,

لٮس علٮكم ولا علٮهم حٮاح ٮعدهں

being visitors among you,

طوڡوں علٮكم

one with another.

ٮعصكم على ٮعص

Thus does God make the signs clear to you,

كدلك ٮٮٮں الله لكم الاٮٮ

And when the children among you reach the age of composure, let them ask permission as those before them asked permission.

وادا ٮلع الاطڡل مٮكم الحلم ڡلٮسٮدٮوا كما اسٮدں الدٮں مں ڡٮلهم

Thus does God make His signs clear to you,

كدلك ٮٮٮں الله لكم اٮٮه

And the elderly women, among women, who no longer hope for marriage, no blame upon them for laying aside their clothes, without ostentatiously displaying what, in them, arouses desire;

والڡوعد مں الٮسا الٮى لا ٮرحوں ٮكاحا ڡلٮس علٮهں حٮاح اں ٮصعں ٮٮاٮهں عٮر مٮٮرحٮ ٮرٮٮه

but that they refrain is better for them.

واں ٮسٮعڡڡں حٮر لهں

There is no discomfort for the blind, nor discomfort for the lame, nor discomfort for the sick, nor for yourselves, in eating in your own houses, or the houses of your fathers, or the houses of your mothers, or the houses of your brothers, or the houses of your sisters, or the houses of your paternal uncles, or the houses of your paternal aunts, or the houses of your maternal uncles, or the houses of your maternal aunts, or in what you hold the keys of, or at your friend's.

لٮس على الاعمى حرح ولا على الاعرح حرح ولا على المرٮص حرح ولا على اٮڡسكم اں ٮاكلوا مں ٮٮوٮكم او ٮٮوٮ اٮاٮكم او ٮٮوٮ امهٮكم او ٮٮوٮ احوٮكم او ٮٮوٮ احوٮكم او ٮٮوٮ اعممكم او ٮٮوٮ عمٮكم او ٮٮوٮ احولكم او ٮٮوٮ حلٮكم او ما ملكٮم مڡاٮحه او صدٮڡكم

No blame upon you for eating together or separately.

لٮس علٮكم حٮاح اں ٮاكلوا حمٮعا او اسٮاٮا

And when you enter houses, greet one another with a greeting from God, blessed and wholesome.

ڡادا دحلٮم ٮٮوٮا ڡسلموا على اٮڡسكم ٮحٮه مں عٮد الله مٮركه طٮٮه

The believers are only those who believe in God and His messenger, and who, when they are with him for a common matter, do not leave until they have asked his permission.

اٮما المومٮوں الدٮں امٮوا ٮالله ورسوله وادا كاٮوا معه على امر حامع لم ٮدهٮوا حٮى ٮسٮدٮوه

Those who ask your permission, those are indeed the ones who believe in God and His messenger.

اں الدٮں ٮسٮدٮوٮك اولٮك الدٮں ٮومٮوں ٮالله ورسوله

And when they ask your permission for some matter concerning them, grant it to whom you will among them, and ask God's forgiveness for them.

ڡادا اسٮدٮوك لٮعص ساٮهم ڡادں لمں سٮٮ مٮهم واسٮعڡر لهم الله

Do not consider the call of the messenger among yourselves as the call of one of you to another.

لا ٮحعلوا دعا الرسول ٮٮٮكم كدعا ٮعصكم ٮعصا

God will surely distinguish those among you who slip away furtively.

ڡد ٮعلم الله الدٮں ٮٮسللوں مٮكم لوادا

Is it not so: to God belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth.

الا اں لله ما ڡى السموٮ والارص

He will surely know the state you are in,

ڡد ٮعلم ما اٮٮم علٮه

and the day when they are returned to Him, He will inform them of what they did.

وٮوم ٮرحعوں الٮه ڡٮٮٮٮهم ٮما عملوا
