A Surah

We (have) sent it down

and We (have) made it obligatory

and We (have) revealed

therein

Verses

clear

so that you may

take heed

The fornicatress

and the fornicator

[then] flog

each

one

of them

(with) hundred

lash(es)

And (let) not

withhold you

pity for them

pity for them

concerning

(the) religion of Allah

(the) religion of Allah

if

you

believe

in Allah

and the Day

the Last

And let witness

their punishment

a group

of

the believers

The fornicator

(will) not

marry

except

a fornicatress

or

a polytheist woman

and the fornicatress

(will) not

marry her

except

a fornicator

or

a polytheist man

And is forbidden

that

to

the believers

And those who

accuse

the chaste women

then

not

they bring

four

witnesses

then flog them

(with) eighty

lashe(s)

and (do) not

accept

their

testimony

ever

And those

they

(are) the defiantly disobedient

Except

those who

repent

after

after

that

and reform

Then indeed

Allah

(is) Oft-Forgiving

Most Merciful

And those who

accuse

their spouses

and not

have

for them

witnesses

except

themselves

then (the) testimony

(of) one of them

(is) four

testimonies

by Allah

that he

(is) surely of

the truthful

And the fifth

that

(the) curse of Allah

(the) curse of Allah

(be) upon him

if

he is

of

the liars

But it would prevent

from her

the punishment

that

she bears witness

four

testimonies

by Allah

that he

(is) surely of

the liars

And the fifth

that

the wrath of Allah

the wrath of Allah

(be) upon her

if

he is

of

the truthful

And if not

(for) the Grace of Allah

(for) the Grace of Allah

upon you

and His Mercy

and that

Allah

(is) Oft-Returning (to Mercy)

All-Wise
