SIPARA 18
 
SURA NOOR

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

  1. The answer of the Believers, when summoned to Allah and His Apostle, in order that He may judge between them is no other than this: they say, "We hear and we obey": It is such as these that will attain felicity.
  2. It is such as obey Allah and His Apostle, and fear Allah and do right, that will win (in the end).
  3. They swear their strongest oaths by Allah that, if only thou wouldst command them, they would leave (their homes). Say: "Swear ye not; obedience is (more) reasonable: Verily, Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do."
  4. Say: "Obey Allah, and obey the Apostle: But if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Apostle's duty is only to preach the clear (Message)."
  5. Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion -- the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: `They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me.' If any do reject faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.
  6. So establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity: And obey the Apostle; that ye may receive mercy.
  7. Never think thou that the Unbelievers are going to frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth: Their abode is the Fire, and it is indeed an evil refuge!
  8. O ye who believe! let those whom your right hands possess, and the (children) among you who have not come of age ask your permission (before they come to your presence), on three occasions, before morning prayer; the while ye doff your clothes for the noonday heat; and after the late-night prayer: These are your three times of undress: Outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about attending to each other: Thus does Allah make clear the Signs to you: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
  9. But when the children among you come of age, let them (also) ask for permission, as do those senior to them (in age): Thus does Allah make clear His Signs to you: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
  10. Such elderly women as are past the prospect of marriage, -- there is no blame on them if they lay aside their (outer) garments, provided they make not a wanton display of their beauty: but it is best for them to be modest: And Allah is One Who sees and knows all things.
  11. It is no fault in the blind nor in one born lame, nor in one afflicted with illness, nor in yourselves, that ye should eat in your own houses, or those of your fathers, or your mothers, or your brothers, or your sisters, or your father's brothers, or your father's sisters, or your mother's brothers, or your mother's sisters, or in houses of which the keys are in your possession, or in the house of a sincere friend of yours: There is no blame on you, whether ye eat in company or separately. But id ye enter houses, salute each other -- a greeting or blessing and purity as from Allah. Thus does Allah make clear the Signs to you: that ye may understand.
  12. Only those are Believers who believe in Allah and His Apostle: When they are with him on a matter requiring collective action, they do not depart until they have asked for his leave: those who ask for thy leave are those who believe in Allah and His Apostle; so when they ask for thy leave, for some business of theirs, give leave to those of them whom thou wilt, and ask Allah for their forgiveness: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
  13. Deem not the summons of the Apostle among yourselves like the summons of one of you to another: Allah doth know those of you who slip away under shelter of some excuse: Then let those beware who withstand the Apostle's order lest some trial befall them, or a grievous Penalty be inflicted on them.
  14. Be quite sure that to Allah doth belong whatever is in the heavens and on earth. Well doth He know what ye are intent upon: and one day they will be brought back to Him, and He will tell them the truth of what they did: For Allah doth know all things.
