24. An-Noor - (The Light)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Recitation: 
English Yusuf Ali: [24:1]
A sura which We have sent down and which We have ordained in it have We sent down Clear Signs, in order that ye may receive admonition.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:2]
The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:3]
Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry and but a woman similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever: nor let any but such a man or an Unbeliever marry such a woman: to the Believers such a thing is forbidden.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:4]
And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:5]
Unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct); for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. PICKTHAL: Save those who afterward repent and make amends. (For such) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. SHAKIR: Except those who repent after this and act aright, for surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. KHALIFA: If they repent afterwards and reform, then GOD is Forgiver, Merciful.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:6]
And for those who launch a charge against their spouses, and have (in support) no evidence but their own,- their solitary evidence (can be received) if they bear witness four times (with an oath) by Allah that they are solemnly telling the truth;
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:7]
And the fifth (oath) (should be) that they solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on themselves if they tell a lie.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:8]
But it would avert the punishment from the wife, if she bears witness four times (with an oath) By Allah, that (her husband) is telling a lie;
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:9]
And the fifth (oath) should be that she solemnly invokes the wrath of Allah on herself if (her accuser) is telling the truth.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:10]
If it were not for Allah's grace and mercy on you, and that Allah is Oft-Returning, full of Wisdom,- (Ye would be ruined indeed).
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:11]
Those who brought forward the lie are a body among yourselves: think it not to be an evil to you; On the contrary it is good for you: to every man among them (will come the punishment) of the sin that he earned, and to him who took on himself the lead among them, will be a penalty grievous.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:12]
Why did not the believers - men and women - when ye heard of the affair,- put the best construction on it in their own minds and say, "This (charge) is an obvious lie"?
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:13]
Why did they not bring four witnesses to prove it? When they have not brought the witnesses, such men, in the sight of Allah, (stand forth) themselves as liars!
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:14]
Were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, in this world and the Hereafter, a grievous penalty would have seized you in that ye rushed glibly into this affair.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [24:15]
Behold, ye received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things of which ye had no knowledge; and ye thought it to be a light matter, while it was most serious in the sight of Allah.
