Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattabiAAoo khutuwati alshshaytani waman yattabiAA khutuwati alshshaytani fa-innahu ya/muru bialfahsha-i waalmunkari walawla fadlu Allahi AAalaykum warahmatuhu ma zaka minkum min ahadin abadan walakinna Allaha yuzakkee man yashao waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun\n21. O ye who believe!\n Follow not Satan's footsteps:\n If any will follow the footsteps\n Of Satan, he will (but) command\n What is shameful and wrong:\n And were it not for the grace\n And mercy of God on you.\n Not one of you would ever\n Have been pure: but God\n Doth purify whom He pleases:\n And God is One Who\n Hears and knows (all things).\n22. Wala ya/tali oloo alfadli minkum waalssaAAati an yu/too olee alqurba waalmasakeena waalmuhajireena fee sabeeli Allahi walyaAAfoo walyasfahoo ala tuhibboona an yaghfira Allahu lakum waAllahu ghafoorun raheemun\n22. Let not those among you\n Who are endued with grace\n And amplitude of means\n Resolve by oath against helping\n Their kinsmen, those in want,\n And those who have left\nTheir homes in God's cause:\n Let them forgive and overlook,\n Do you not wish\n That God should forgive you?\n For God is Oft-Forgiving,\n Most Merciful.\n23. Inna allatheena yarmoona almuhsanati alghafilati almu/minati luAAinoo fee alddunya waal-akhirati walahum AAathabun AAatheemun\n23. Those who slander chaste women,\n Indiscreet but believing,\n Are cursed in this life\n And in the Hereafter:\n For them is a grievous Penalty,\u2014\n24. Yawma tashhadu AAalayhim alsinatuhum waaydeehim waarjuluhum bima kanoo yaAAmaloona\n24. On the Day when their tongues,\n Their hands, and their feet\n Will bear witness against them\n As to their actions.\n25. Yawma-ithin yuwaffeehimu Allahu deenahumu alhaqqa wayaAAlamoona anna Allaha huwa alhaqqu almubeenu\n25. On that Day God\n Will pay them back\n (All) their just dues,\n And they will realise\n That God is\n The (very) Truth,\n That makes all things manifest.\n26. Alkhabeethatu lilkhabeetheena waalkhabeethoona lilkhabeethati waalttayyibatu lilttayyibeena waalttayyiboona lilttayyibati ola-ika mubarraoona mimma yaqooloona lahum maghfiratun warizqun kareemun\n26. Women impure are for men impure\n And men impure for women impure\n And women of purity\n Are for men of purity,\n And men of purity\n Are for women of purity:\n These are not affected\nBy what people say:\n For them there is forgiveness,\n And a provision honourable.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXIV.: N\u016br, or Light.: Section 3 (21-26)","type":"page"}
