Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tadkhuloo buyootan ghayra buyootikum hatta tasta/nisoo watusallimoo AAala ahliha thalikum khayrun lakum laAAallakum tathakkaroona\n27. O ye who believe!\n Enter not houses other than\n Your own, until ye have\n Asked permission and saluted\n Those in them: that is\n Best for you, in order that\n Ye may heed (what is seemly).\n28. Fa-in lam tajidoo feeha ahadan fala tadkhulooha hatta yu/thana lakum wa-in qeela lakumu irjiAAoo fairjiAAoo huwa azka lakum waAllahu bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun\n28. If ye find no one\n In the house, enter not\n Until permission is given\n To you: if ye are asked\n To go back, go back:\n That makes for greater purity\nFor yourselves: and God\n Knows well all that ye do.\n29. Laysa AAalaykum junahun an tadkhuloo buyootan ghayra maskoonatin feeha mataAAun lakum waAllahu yaAAlamu ma tubdoona wama taktumoona\n29. It is no fault on your part\n To enter houses not used\n For living in, which serve\n Some (other) use for you:\n And God has knowledge\n Of what ye reveal\n And what ye conceal.\n30. Qul lilmu/mineena yaghuddoo min absarihum wayahfathoo furoojahum thalika azka lahum inna Allaha khabeerun bima yasnaAAoona\n30. Say to the believing men\n That they should lower\n Their gaze and guard\n Their modesty: that will make\n For greater purity for them:\n And God is well acquainted\n With all that they do.\n31. Waqul lilmu/minati yaghdudna min absarihinna wayahfathna furoojahunna wala yubdeena zeenatahunna illa ma thahara minha walyadribna bikhumurihinna AAala juyoobihinna wala yubdeena zeenatahunna illa libuAAoolatihinna aw aba-ihinna aw aba-i buAAoolatihinna aw abna-ihinna aw abna-i buAAoolatihinna aw ikhwanihinna aw banee ikhwanihinna aw banee akhawatihinna aw nisa-ihinna aw ma malakat aymanuhunna awi alttabiAAeena ghayri olee al-irbati mina alrrijali awi alttifli allatheena lam yathharoo AAala AAawrati alnnisa-i wala yadribna bi-arjulihinna liyuAAlama ma yukhfeena min zeenatihinna watooboo ila Allahi jameeAAan ayyuha almu/minoona laAAallakum tuflihoona\n31. And say to the believing women\n That they should lower\n Their gaze and guard\n Their modesty; that they\n Should not display their\n Beauty and ornaments except\n What (must ordinarily) appear\n Thereof; that they should\nDraw their veils over\n Their bosoms and not display\n Their beauty except\n To their husbands, their fathers,\n Their husbands\u2019 fathers, their sons,\n Their husbands\u2019 sons,\n Their brothers or their brothers\u2019 sons,\n Or their sisters\u2019 sons,\n Or their women, or the slaves\n Whom their right hands\n Possess, or male servants\n Free of physical needs,\n Or small children who\n Have no sense of the shame\n Of sex; and that they\n Should not strike their feet\n In order to draw attention\n To their hidden ornaments.\n And O ye Believers!\n Turn ye all together\n Towards God, that ye\n May attain Bliss.\n32. Waankihoo al-ayama minkum waalssaliheena min AAibadikum wa-ima-ikum in yakoonoo fuqaraa yughnihimu Allahu min fadlihi waAllahu wasiAAun AAaleemun\n32. Marry those among you\n Who are single, or\n The virtuous ones among\n Your slaves, male or female:\n If they are in poverty,\n God will give them\n Means out of His grace:\n For God encompasseth all,\n And He knoweth all things.\n33. WalyastaAAfifi allatheena la yajidoona nikahan hatta yughniyahumu Allahu min fadlihi waallatheena yabtaghoona alkitaba mimma malakat aymanukum fakatiboohum in AAalimtum feehim khayran waatoohum min mali Allahi allathee atakum wala tukrihoo fatayatikum AAala albigha-i in aradna tahassunan litabtaghoo AAarada alhayati alddunya waman yukrihhunna fa-inna Allaha min baAAdi ikrahihinna ghafoorun raheemun\n33. Let those who find not\n The wherewithal for marriage\n Keep themselves chaste, until\n God gives them means\n Out of His grace.\n And if any of your slaves\n Ask for a deed in writing\n (To enable them to earn\n Their freedom for a certain sum),\n Give them such a deed\n If ye know any good\n In them; yea, give them\n Something yourselves\n Out of the means which\n God has given to you.\n But force not your maids\n To prostitution when they desire\n Chastity, in order that ye\n May make a gain\n In the goods of this life.\n But if anyone compels them,\n Yet, after such compulsion,\n Is God Oft-Forgiving,\n Most Merciful (to them).\n34. Walaqad anzalna ilaykum ayatin mubayyinatin wamathalan mina allatheena khalaw min qablikum wamawAAithatan lilmuttaqeena\n34. We have already sent down\n To you verses making things\n Clear, an illustration from (the story\n Of) people who passed away\n Before you, and an admonition\n For those who fear (God).","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXIV.: N\u016br, or Light.: Section 4 (27-34)","type":"page"}
