Sahih International
And  those  who  accuse  their  wives  [of  adultery]  and  have  no  witnesses  except themselves  -   then  the  witness  of  one  of  them  [shall  be]  four  testimonies  [swearing]  by Allah that  indeed,  he  is  of  the  truthful.
Sahih International
And  the  fifth  [oath  will  be]  that  the  curse  of Allah be  upon  him  if  he  should  be  among the  liars.
Sahih International
But  it  will  prevent  punishment  from  her  if  she  gives  four  testimonies  [swearing]  by Allah that  indeed,  he  is  of  the  liars.
Sahih International
And  the  fifth  [oath  will  be]  that  the  wrath  of Allah be  upon  her  if  he  was  of  the  truthful.
Sahih International
And  if  not  for  the  favor  of Allah upon  you  and  His  mercy... and  because Allah is Accepting  of  repentance  and  Wise.
Sahih International
Indeed,  those  who  came  with  falsehood  are  a  group  among  you.  Do  not  think  it  bad  for you;  rather  it  is  good  for  you.  For  every  person  among  them  is  what  [punishment]  he has  earned  from  the  sin,  and  he  who  took  upon  himself  the  greater  portion  thereof  - for  him  is  a  great  punishment.
Sahih International
Why,  when  you  heard  it,  did  not  the  believing  men  and  believing  women  think  good  of one  another  and  say,  "This  is  an  obvious  falsehood"?
Sahih International
Why  did  they  [who  slandered]  not  produce  for  it  four  witnesses?  And  when  they  do  not produce  the  witnesses,  then  it  is  they,  in  the  sight  of Allah ,  who  are  the  liars.
Sahih International
And  if  it  had  not  been  for  the  favor  of Allah upon  you  and  His  mercy  in  this  world  and the  Hereafter,  you  would  have  been  touched  for  that  [lie]  in  which  you  were  involved by  a  great  punishment
Sahih International
When  you  received  it  with  your  tongues  and  said  with  your  mouths  that  of  which  you had  no  knowledge  and  thought  it  was  insignificant  while  it  was,  in  the  sight  of Allah , tremendous.
Sahih International
And  why,  when  you  heard  it,  did  you  not  say,  "It  is  not  for  us  to  speak  of  this.  Exalted are  You,  [O Allah ];  this  is  a  great  slander"?
Sahih International
Allah warns  you  against  returning  to  the  likes  of  this  [conduct],  ever,  if  you  should  be believers.
Sahih International
And Allah makes  clear  to  you  the  verses,  and Allah is  Knowing  and  Wise.
Sahih International
Indeed,  those  who  like  that  immorality  should  be  spread  [or  publicized]  among  those who  have  believed  will  have  a  painful  punishment  in  this  world  and  the  Hereafter.  And Allah knows  and  you  do  not  know.
Sahih International
And  if  it  had  not  been  for  the  favor  of Allah upon  you  and  His  mercy... and  because Allah is  Kind  and  Merciful.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  do  not  follow  the  footsteps  of  Satan.  And  whoever  follows  the footsteps  of  Satan  -   indeed,  he  enjoins  immorality  and  wrongdoing.  And  if  not  for  the favor  of Allah upon  you  and  His  mercy,  not  one  of  you  would  have  been  pure,  ever,  but Allah purifies  whom  He  wills,  and Allah is  Hearing  and  Knowing.
Sahih International
And  let  not  those  of  virtue  among  you  and  wealth  swear  not  to  give  [aid]  to  their relatives  and  the  needy  and  the  emigrants  for  the  cause  of Allah ,  and  let  them  pardon and  overlook.  Would  you  not  like  that Allah should  forgive  you?  And Allah is  Forgiving and  Merciful.
Sahih International
Indeed,  those  who  [falsely]  accuse  chaste,  unaware  and  believing  women  are  cursed  in this  world  and  the  Hereafter;  and  they  will  have  a  great  punishment
Sahih International
On  a  Day  when  their  tongues,  their  hands  and  their  feet  will  bear  witness  against them  as  to  what  they  used  to  do.
Sahih International
That  Day, Allah will  pay  them  in  full  their  deserved  recompense,  and  they  will  know that  it  is Allah who  is  the  perfect  in  justice.
Sahih International
Evil  words  are  for  evil  men,  and  evil  men  are  [subjected]  to  evil  words.  And  good  words are  for  good  men,  and  good  men  are  [an  object]  of  good  words.  Those  [good  people]  are declared  innocent  of  what  the  slanderers  say.  For  them  is  forgiveness  and  noble provision.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  do  not  enter  houses  other  than  your  own  houses  until  you ascertain  welcome  and  greet  their  inhabitants.  That  is  best  for  you;  perhaps  you  will be  reminded.
Sahih International
And  if  you  do  not  find  anyone  therein,  do  not  enter  them  until  permission  has  been given  you.  And  if  it  is  said  to  you,  "Go  back,"  then  go  back;  it  is  purer  for  you.  And Allah is  Knowing  of  what  you  do.
Sahih International
There  is  no  blame  upon  you  for  entering  houses  not  inhabited  in  which  there  is convenience  for  you.  And Allah knows  what  you  reveal  and  what  you  conceal.
Sahih International
Tell  the  believing  men  to  reduce  [some]  of  their  vision  and  guard  their  private  parts. That  is  purer  for  them.  Indeed, Allah is  Acquainted  with  what  they  do.
Sahih International
And  tell  the  believing  women  to  reduce  [some]  of  their  vision  and  guard  their  private parts  and  not  expose  their  adornment  except  that  which  [necessarily]  appears  thereof and  to  wrap  [a  portion  of]  their  headcovers  over  their  chests  and  not  expose  their adornment  except  to  their  husbands,  their  fathers,  their  husbands'  fathers,  their  sons, their  husbands'  sons,  their  brothers,  their  brothers'  sons,  their  sisters'  sons,  their women,  that  which  their  right  hands  possess,  or  those  male  attendants  having  no physical  desire,  or  children  who  are  not  yet  aware  of  the  private  aspects  of  women. And  let  them  not  stamp  their  feet  to  make  known  what  they  conceal  of  their adornment.  And  turn  to Allah in  repentance,  all  of  you,  O  believers,  that  you  might succeed.
Sahih International
And  marry  the  unmarried  among  you  and  the  righteous  among  your  male  slaves  and female  slaves.  If  they  should  be  poor, Allah will  enrich  them  from  His  bounty,  and Allah is  all-Encompassing  and  Knowing.
Sahih International
But  let  them  who  find  not  [the  means  for]  marriage  abstain  [from  sexual  relations] until Allah enriches  them  from  His  bounty.  And  those  who  seek  a  contract  [for eventual  emancipation]  from  among  whom  your  right  hands  possess  -   then  make  a contract  with  them  if  you  know  there  is  within  them  goodness  and  give  them  from  the wealth  of Allah which  He  has  given  you.  And  do  not  compel  your  slave  girls  to prostitution,  if  they  desire  chastity,  to  seek  [thereby]  the  temporary  interests  of  worldly life.  And  if  someone  should  compel  them,  then  indeed, Allah is  [to  them],  after  their compulsion,  Forgiving  and  Merciful.
Sahih International
And  We  have  certainly  sent  down  to  you  distinct  verses  and  examples  from  those  who passed  on  before  you  and  an  admonition  for  those  who  fear Allah .
Sahih International
Allah is  the  Light  of  the  heavens  and  the  earth.  The  example  of  His  light  is  like  a  niche within  which  is  a  lamp,  the  lamp  is  within  glass,  the  glass  as  if  it  were  a  pearly  [white] star  lit  from  [the  oil  of]  a  blessed  olive  tree,  neither  of  the  east  nor  of  the  west,  whose oil  would  almost  glow  even  if  untouched  by  fire.  Light  upon  light. Allah guides  to  His light  whom  He  wills.  And Allah presents  examples  for  the  people,  and Allah is  Knowing of  all  things.
