|@ The difference between the hypocrites and those who believe 24:47-50
24:47 They say, ‘We believe in Allah and the Messenger and obey.’ But a party of them turn away after this. Those are not believers.
# وَيَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالرَّسُولِ وَأَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّى فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم مِّنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ وَمَا أُوْلَئِكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ 47
24:48 And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) so that he judges between them, a party of them swerve away.
# وَإِذَا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ 48
24:49 If the right is theirs, they would have hastened to him obediently.
# وَإِن يَكُن لَّهُمُ الحَقُّ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْهِ مُذْعِنِينَ 49
24:50 Is there a sickness in their hearts, or, are they in doubt? Do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust? No, but those they are the harm doers.
# أَفِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَمِ ارْتَابُوا أَمْ يَخَافُونَ أَن يَحِيفَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَسُولُهُ بَلْ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ 50
|@ Believers hear and obey Allah and His Messenger 24:51-56
24:51 But when the believers are called to Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), in order that he judges between them, their reply is, ‘We hear and obey.’ Such are the prosperous.
# إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ المُؤْمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن يَقُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ المُفْلِحُونَ 51
24:52 Those who obey Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah, and have awe of Him, shall be the winners.
# وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَخْشَ اللَّهَ وَيَتَّقْهِ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الفَائِزُونَ 52
24:53 They swear by Allah in the most earnest oaths, that if you order them, they would go forth. Say, ‘Do not swear, known obedience (is better). Allah is Aware of the things you do.’
# وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ أَمَرْتَهُمْ لَيَخْرُجُنَّ قُل لاَّ تُقْسِمُوا طَاعَةٌ مَّعْروفَةٌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 53
24:54 Say, ‘Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. If you turn away, upon him only rests what is laid upon him, and upon you rests what is laid on you. If you obey him, you shall be guided. It is only for the Messenger to deliver a clear message.’
# قُلْ أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيْكُم مَّا حُمِّلْتُمْ وَإِن تُطِيعُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِ إِلاَّ البَلاغُ المُبِينُ 54
24:55 Allah has promised those of you who believe and do good works that He will indeed make them successors in the land as He made those who were before them successors, and that He will indeed establish their religion for them; that which He has approved for them, and will exchange safety for them after their fear. They worship Me and associate nothing with Me. After that, those who disbelieve are the impious.
# وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْناً يَعْبُدُونَنِي لاَ يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئاً وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الفَاسِقُونَ 55
24:56 Establish the prayers, pay the charity, and obey the Messenger, in order to have mercy.
# وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ 56
|@ The unbelievers will never get the better of Allah 24:57
24:57 Never think that the unbelievers will be able to frustrate (Us) in the earth. Their refuge is the Fire, an evil arrival.
# لاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مُعْجِزِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَأْوَاهُمُ النَّارُ وَلَبِئْسَ المَصِيرُ 57
|@ Etiquette of privacy 24:58-59
24:58 Believers, let those your right hand owns and those who have not come of age ask permission of you three times before the dawn prayer, when you put aside your garments, in the heat of noon, and after the night prayer. These are the three occasions of privacy. There is no fault in you or them, apart from these, that they go about you, you are of each other. As such Allah makes plain to you His verses, Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
# يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِيَسْتَأْذِنكُمُ الَّذِينَ مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الحُلُمَ مِنكُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ مِّن قَبْلِ صَلاةِ الفَجْرِ وَحِينَ تَضَعُونَ ثِيَابَكُم مِّنَ الظَّهِيرَةِ وَمِنْ بَعْدِ صَلاةِ العِشَاءِ ثَلاثُ عَوْرَاتٍ لَّكُمْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلاَ عَلَيْهِمْ جُنَاحٌ بَعْدَهُنَّ طَوَّافُونَ عَلَيْكُم بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ 58
24:59 And when children reach the age of puberty, let them ask permission as those before them asked permission. As such Allah makes clear to you His verses. Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
# وَإِذَا بَلَغَ الأَطْفَالُ مِنكُمُ الحُلُمَ فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنُوا كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ 59
|@ Relaxed dress code for older women 24:60
24:60 (As for) women that are past childbearing who have no hope of marriage there is no fault in them that they discard their cloaks provided they do not reveal their adornments, but it is better if they abstain. Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
# وَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ اللاَّتِي لاَ يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحاً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَن يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَاتٍ بِزِينَةٍ وَأَن يَسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُنَّ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 60
|@ Etiquette of dinning 24:61
24:61 It shall be no fault for the blind, the lame, the sick and yourselves to eat from your houses. Nor the houses of your fathers’, your mothers’, your brothers’, your sisters’, your paternal uncles, your paternal aunts, your maternal uncles, your maternal aunts or in houses the keys of which you own, or in those of your friend, there is no fault in you that you all eat together, or separately. When you enter houses, greet (with peace) one another with a salutation from Allah, blessed and good. As such Allah makes clear to you His verses so that you understand.

|@ Etiquette between the believer and the Prophet 24:62-63
24:62 The believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, and who, when gathered with him upon a common matter do not depart till they have asked his permission. Surely, those who ask your permission are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger. When they ask your permission for some of their affairs, grant it to whomever you please and ask Allah for forgiveness for them; Allah is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
# إِنَّمَا المُؤْمِنُونَ الَذِىنَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِذَا كَانُوا مَعَهُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ جَامِعٍ لَّمْ يَذْهَبُوا حَتَّى يَسْتَأْذِنُوهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَكَ أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَإِذَا اسْتَأْذَنُوكَ لِبَعْضِ شَأْنِهِمْ فَأْذَن لِّمَن شِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمُ اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 62
24:63 Do not make the calling of the Messenger among yourselves like your calling to one another. Allah knows those of you who slip away surreptitiously, so let those who disobey His command beware, lest they are struck by sedition, or, they are stricken with a painful punishment.
# لاَ تَجْعَلُوا دُعَاءَ الرَّسُولِ بَيْنَكُمْ كَدُعَاءِ بَعْضِكُم بَعْضاً قَدْ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ يَتَسَلَّلُونَ مِنكُمْ لِوَاذاً فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ أَن تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 63

24:64 To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. He has knowledge of what state you are upon. On the Day when they shall be returned to Him, He will tell them all what they have done. And Allah has knowledge of everything.
# أَلاَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَا أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَيَوْمَ يُرْجَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ 64

# فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَا إِلَى القَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا فَدَمَّرْنَاهُمْ تَدْمِيراً 36
|@ Noah’s people were drowned because they belied him 25:37-40
25:37 The nation of Noah, We drowned them when they belied their Messenger, and made of them a sign to the nation. For the harm doers We have prepared a painful punishment
# وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ أَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ آيَةً وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ عَذَاباً أَلِيماً 37
$ Aad, Thamood and the nation of Er Rass were destroyed because they belied their prophets, it was not an act of the so called “Mother Nature” 23:38-40
25:38 also to Aad and Thamood, and the nation of Er Rass and many generations in between;
# وَعَاداً وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُوناً بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ كَثِيراً 38
25:39 to each of them We gave examples, and each of them We utterly ruined.
# وَكُلاًّ ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الأَمْثَالَ وَكُلاًّ تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيراً 39
25:40 They have surely passed by the village which was rained upon by evil rain (of stones); what, have they never seen it? No, they look for no resurrection.
# وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا عَلَى القَرْيَةِ الَتِي أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِ أَفَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَرَوْنَهَا بَلْ كَانُوا لاَ يَرْجُونَ نُشُوراً 40
|@ Who is further astray from the Straight Path? 25:41-42
25:41 Whenever they (the unbelievers) see you (Prophet Muhammad), they mock you (saying), ‘Is this whom Allah has sent as a Messenger?
# وَإِذَا رَأَوْكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلاَّ هُزُواً أَهَذَا الَّذِي بَعَثَ اللَّهُ رَسُولاً 41
25:42 He would have mislead us from our gods, if we had not been steadfast to them.’ But they shall know who is further astray from the Path when they see the punishment.
# إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا لَوْلا أَن صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوْنَ العَذَابَ مَنْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلاً 42
|@ Those who consider their own brains superior to the Revelation 25:43-44
25:43 Have you seen him who has made gods of his own desires? Would you be a guardian over him?
# أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلاً 43
25:44 Do you think that most of them can hear or understand? They are like cattle, no, they are further astray from the Path.
# أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ إِنْ هُمْ إِلاَّ كَالأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلاً 44
|@ The signs of Allah in the heavens and earth 25:45-50
25:45 Do you not see how your Lord stretches the shadow? Had it been His will, He could have made it constant. Then He appointed the sun to be a guide to it;
# أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَجَعَلَهُ سَاكِناً ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلاً 45
25:46 thereafter We seize it to Us withdrawing it gently.
# ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَاهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضاً يَسِيراً 46
25:47 It is He who has appointed the night a mantle for you and sleep for a rest. The day He has appointed for rising.
# وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِبَاساً وَالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتاً وَجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُوراً 47
25:48 It is He who loosens the winds, bearing glad tidings before the Hands of His Mercy, and We have sent down pure water from the heaven,
# وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْراً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُوراً 48
25:49 so, that with it We revive dead lands and provide drink for the cattle and the human We created.
# لِنُحْيِيَ بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتاً وَنُسْقِيَهُ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَا أَنْعَاماً وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيراً 49
25:50 We have indeed turned it about them, so that they remember; yet most people refuse all except disbelief.
# وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَاهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا فَأَبَى أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلاَّ كُفُوراً 50
25:51 Had it been Our will, We could have raised a warner in every village.
# وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ نَّذِيراً 51
|@ Seek only the guidance of believing authorities 25:52
25:52 So do not obey the unbelievers, but struggle mightily with it (the Koran).
# فَلاَ تُطِعِ الكَافِرِينَ وَجَاهِدْهُم بِهِ جِهَاداً كَبِيراً 52
|@ The miracle of osmosis unknown at the time of the revelation of the Koran 25:53
25:53 It was He (Allah) who let forth the two seas, this one is palatably sweet and this salt, a bitter taste, and He set a barrier between them, and a refuge which is forbidden.
# وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَرَجَ البَحْرَيْنِ هَذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخاً وَحِجْراً مَّحْجُوراً 53
25:54 And it is He who created the human from water and gave him kindred of blood and of marriage. Your Lord is the Powerful.
# وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ المَاءِ بَشَراً فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَباً وَصِهْراً وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيراً 54
25:55 Yet they (the unbelievers) worship, other than Allah, that which can neither benefit nor harm them. Surely, the unbeliever is ever a partisan against his Lord.
# وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ يَنفَعُهُمْ وَلاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ وَكَانَ الكَافِرُ عَلَى رَبِّهِ ظَهِيراً 55
|@ Prophet Muhammad was sent as a bearer of glad tidings and as a warner for all mankind 25:56-59
25:56 We did not send you (Prophet Muhammad) but as a bearer of glad tidings and as a warner.
# وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلاَّ مُبَشِّراً وَنَذِيراً 56
25:57 Say, ‘I demand of you no wage for this except for he who wishes to take the Path to his Lord.’
# قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلاَّ مَن شَاءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلاً 57
25:58 Put your trust in the All Living who never dies, and exalt with His praise, He is sufficiently aware of His worshipers’ sins.
# وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الحَيِّ الَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِ وَكَفَى بِهِ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيراً 58
25:59 (It is) He who, in six days created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and then He willed to the Throne. The Merciful; ask about Him from he who knows Him.
# الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى العَرْشِ الرَّحْمَنُ فَاسْئَلْ بِهِ خَبِيراً 59
|@ Pride 25:60
25:60 When it is said to them, ‘Prostrate yourselves before the Merciful’, they ask, ‘And what is the Merciful? Shall we prostrate ourselves to whatever you bid us?’ And it increases their aversion.
# وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمَنِ قَالُوا وَمَا الرَّحْمَنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُوراً 60
|@ The signs in the earthly heaven 25:61-62
25:61 Blessed be He (Allah) who has set the constellations in the heaven, and set amongst them a sun, and an illuminating moon.
# تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجاً وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَاجاً وَقَمَراً مُّنِيراً 61
25:62 It is He who has made the night and day follow each other for he who desires to remember or he who desires to be thankful.
# وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُوراً 62
