AN-NOOR

وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلَّا أَنْفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ أَرْبَعُ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللَّهِ ۙ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿٦﴾

٦ - اور جو لوگ اپنی عورتوں پر بدکاری کی تہمت لگائیں اور خود ان کے سوا ان کے گواہ نہ ہوں تو ہر ایک کی شہادت یہ ہے کہ پہلے تو چار بار خدا کی قسم کھائے کہ بےشک وہ سچا ہے .

[24:6] 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.

[Transliteration] Wallazeena yarmoona azwaajahum wa lam yakul lahum shuhadaaa'u illaaa anfusuhum fashahaadatu ahadihim arb'u shahaadaatim billaahi innahoo laminas saadiqeen

وَالْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ ﴿٧﴾

٧ - اور پانچویں بار یہ (کہے) کہ اگر وہ جھوٹا ہو تو اس پر خدا کی لعنت .

[24:7] And the fifth [oath will be] that the curse of Allah be upon him if he should be among the liars.

[Transliteration] Wal khaamisatu anna la'natal laahi 'alaihi in kaana minal kaazibeen

وَيَدْرَأُ عَنْهَا الْعَذَابَ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللَّهِ ۙ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ ﴿٨﴾

٨ - اور عورت سے سزا کو یہ بات ٹال سکتی ہے کہ وہ پہلے چار بار خدا کی قسم کھائے کہ بےشک یہ جھوٹا ہے .

[24:8] But it will prevent punishment from her if she gives four testimonies [swearing] by Allah that indeed, he is of the liars.

[Transliteration] Wa yadra'u anhal 'azaaba an tashhada arba'a shahaa daatim billaahi innahoo laminal kaazibeen

وَالْخَامِسَةَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿٩﴾

٩ - اور پانچویں دفعہ یوں (کہے) کہ اگر یہ سچا ہو تو مجھ پر خدا کا غضب (نازل ہو) .

[24:9] And the fifth [oath will be] that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he was of the truthful.

[Transliteration] Wal khaamisata anna ghadabal laahi 'alaihaaa in kaana minas saadiqeen
