Read Surah An-Noor

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اِذَا دُعُوْۤا اِلَی اللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ لِیَحْكُمَ بَیْنَهُمْ اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَ اَطَعْنَا ؕ وَ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ۝۵۱

The answer of the believers when they are called to God and His Apostle that he may judge between them, is: "We hear and obey." And they are the ones who will prosper.

وَ مَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ وَ یَخْشَ اللّٰهَ وَ یَتَّقْهِ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفَآىِٕزُوْنَ۝۵۲

Whoever obeys God and His Prophet, fears God and does his duty to Him, will surely find success.

وَ اَقْسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَیْمَانِهِمْ لَىِٕنْ اَمَرْتَهُمْ لَیَخْرُجُنَّ ؕ قُلْ لَّا تُقْسِمُوْا ۚ طَاعَةٌ مَّعْرُوْفَةٌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِیْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۵۳

They swear solemnly by God: "If you command us we shall go forth." Say: "Do not swear. What is wanted is obedience, as should be. God is certainly aware of what you do."

قُلْ اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اَطِیْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ ۚ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنَّمَا عَلَیْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَ عَلَیْكُمْ مَّا حُمِّلْتُمْ ؕ وَ اِنْ تُطِیْعُوْهُ تَهْتَدُوْا ؕ وَ مَا عَلَی الرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِیْنُ۝۵۴

Say: "Obey God and obey the Apostle. If you turn away, then for him is his duty to fulfil, and for you the burden that you carry; yet if you obey him you will be rightly guided. The duty of the Messenger is to convey the message clearly.

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْ وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَیَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۪ وَ لَیُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِیْنَهُمُ الَّذِی ارْتَضٰی لَهُمْ وَ لَیُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ اَمْنًا ؕ یَعْبُدُوْنَنِیْ لَا یُشْرِكُوْنَ بِیْ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَ مَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ۝۵۵

God has promised to make those of you who believe and do the right, leaders in the land, as He had made those before them, and will establish their faith which He has chosen for them and change their fear into security. They will worship Me and not associate any one with Me. But those who disbelieve after this will be reprobates.

وَ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَ اَطِیْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ۝۵۶

So observe your devotional obligations, pay the zakat, and obey the Apostle so that you may be shown mercy.

لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مُعْجِزِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ ۚ وَ مَاْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُ ؕ وَ لَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ۠۝۵۷

Do not think that unbelievers will subvert (the authority of God) on earth. Their abode is Hell; and what an evil destination!

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لِیَسْتَاْذِنْكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ وَ الَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یَبْلُغُوا الْحُلُمَ مِنْكُمْ ثَلٰثَ مَرّٰتٍ ؕ مِنْ قَبْلِ صَلٰوةِ الْفَجْرِ وَ حِیْنَ تَضَعُوْنَ ثِیَابَكُمْ مِّنَ الظَّهِیْرَةِ وَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ صَلٰوةِ الْعِشَآءِ ؕ۫ ثَلٰثُ عَوْرٰتٍ لَّكُمْ ؕ لَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ لَا عَلَیْهِمْ جُنَاحٌۢ بَعْدَهُنَّ ؕ طَوّٰفُوْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۵۸

O you who believe, let your dependants and those who have not yet reached the age of puberty, ask permission (to enter your presence) on three occasions: Before the early morning prayer; when you disrobe for the mid-day siesta; and after prayer at night. These are the three occasions of dishabille for you. There is no harm if you or they visit one another at other times (without permission). God thus explains things to you clearly, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.

وَ اِذَا بَلَغَ الْاَطْفَالُ مِنْكُمُ الْحُلُمَ فَلْیَسْتَاْذِنُوْا كَمَا اسْتَاْذَنَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۵۹

When your children have reached the age of puberty, they should similarly ask your leave (for entering) as others did before them. God thus clearly explains His commands to you, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.

وَ الْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ الّٰتِیْ لَا یَرْجُوْنَ نِكَاحًا فَلَیْسَ عَلَیْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ یَّضَعْنَ ثِیَابَهُنَّ غَیْرَ مُتَبَرِّجٰتٍۭ بِزِیْنَةٍ ؕ وَ اَنْ یَّسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَیْرٌ لَّهُنَّ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ۝۶۰

As for your women past the age of bearing children, who have no hope of marriage, there is no harm if they take off their outer garments, but in such a way that they do not display their charms; yet if they avoid this it would be better for them. God is all-hearing and all-knowing.
