00:00:00 --> 00:00:07
			Salam aleikum. This is the Quran,
a new translation by M A. S. Abdul
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Halim me
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			this begins just number 18
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			Surah number 23. The believers
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:30
			in the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. The
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:36
			faithful have succeeded. Those who
pray humbly, who shun for ability,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:41
			who pay the prescribed ohms, who
guard their chastity except with
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			their spouses or their slaves.
With these they are not to blame.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			But those who seek to go beyond
this are exceeding the limits.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			Those who are faithful to their
trusts and pledges, and who keep
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			up their prayers are given
paradise as their own, their to
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			remain.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
			We created man from an essence of
clay, then we placed him as a drop
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			of fluid in a safe place, then we
made that drop into a cleaning
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			form. And we made that form into a
lump of flesh. And we made that
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			lump into bones, and we clothed
those bones with flesh and later,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			we made him into other forms,
glory be to God, the best of
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:26
			creators,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			then you will die. And then on the
Day of Resurrection, you will be
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			raised up again.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:39
			We created seven levels above you.
We are never unmindful of our
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			creation.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			We sent water down from the sky in
do measure and lodged it in the
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			earth.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			We have the power to take it all
away if we so wish. with it. We
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			produced for you gardens of date
palms and vines, with many fruits
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			there for you to eat.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:04
			And the tree growing out of Mount
Sinai that produces oil and
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			seasoning for your food. There is
a lesson for you in livestock.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:14
			We produce milk for you to drink
from their bellies. And they have
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			many other benefits. You eat them
and you ride on them as you do in
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			ships.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:26
			We sent Noah to his people. He
said, My people serve God for He
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			is your only God. Will you not
heed him.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			But the leading disbelievers among
his people said he is merely a
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:41
			mortal like you trying to gain
some superiority over you. God
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			would have sat down angels if he
had wished. Besides, we never
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			heard of anything like this from
our forefathers. He is just a
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			madman. So let's wait and see what
happens to him.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:01
			Noah said, My Lord helped me. They
call me a liar. And so we reveal
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			to him build the ark under our
watchful eye and with our
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			inspiration, when our command
comes in water gushes up out of
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:15
			the earth. Take pairs of every
species on board and your family
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			except for those on whom the
sentence has already been passed.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			Do not plead with me for the
evildoers, they will be drowned.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:30
			And when you and your companions
are settled on the ark, say Praise
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			be to God who delivered us from
the wicked people and say,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:40
			My Lord, let me land with your
blessing. You are the best one to
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:45
			bring us to land. There are signs
and all this. We have always put
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			people to the test.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			Then we raised another generation
after them
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			and sent one of their own as a
messenger. serve God for He is
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			your only God, will you not heed
him.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			But the leading disbelievers among
his people who denied the meeting
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			in the hereafter to whom we had
granted ease and plenty in this
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			life said
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:15
			he is just a mortal like you. He
eats what you eat, and drinks what
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			you drink. And you will really be
losers if you obey a mortal like
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			yourselves.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:26
			How can he promise you that after
you die and become dust and bones,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			you will be brought out alive.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			What you are promised is very far
fetched. There is only the life of
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:38
			this world. We die. We live but we
will never be resurrected.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			He is just a man making lies up
about God.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			We will never believe in him.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			The Prophet said
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:54
			My Lord helped me. They call me a
liar. And so God said
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			soon they will be filled with
regret the blast just
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			delay struck them and we swept
them away like scum.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:09
			Away with the evildoers. We raised
other generations after them. No
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			community can advance or delay
it's time.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			And we sent Our Messengers in
succession.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			Whenever a messenger came to a
community, they invariably called
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:27
			him a liar. So we destroyed them
one after the other, and made them
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			into cautionary tales away with
the disbelievers.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			Then We sent Moses and his brother
Aaron, with our signs and clear
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:40
			authority to Pharaoh and his
prominent leaders. But they
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			responded with arrogance. They
were a haughty people,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:50
			they said, Are we to believe and
to mortals like us, and their
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:56
			people are our servants. And so
they call them both wires. They
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			became another ruined people.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			We gave Moses the Scripture so
that they might be rightly guided,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			We made the son of Mary and his
mother a sign. We gave them
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			shelter on a peaceful hillside
with flowing water,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			messengers,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			eat good things and do good deeds.
I am well aware of what you do.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:27
			This is your community, one
community, and I am your Lord, be
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			mindful of me.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			But they have split their
community into *. Each was
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			rejoicing in their own
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:40
			son Mohammed, leave them for a
while steeped in their ignorance.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			Do they reckon that by giving them
wealth and Sons we race to give
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			them good things? They really have
no idea.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			Those who stand in all of their
Lord, who believe in his messages,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			who do not ascribe partners to
him, who always give with hearts
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:04
			that tremble at the thought that
they must return to him or the
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			wrong or the ones who race towards
good things, and they will be the
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			first to get them.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:15
			We do not burden any soul with
more than it can bear. We have a
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:19
			record that tells the truth. They
will not be wronged.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:25
			But the disbelievers hearts are
steeped in ignorance of all this.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			And there are other things besides
this that they do.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:34
			When we bring our punishment on
those corrupted with wealth, they
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:40
			will cry for help. Do not cry out
today, you will get no help from
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:40
			us.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:46
			Time and time again. My Messages
were recited to you. But you
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			turned on your heels and spent the
evening arrogantly making fun of
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			the Quran.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			Have they not contemplated the
Word of God?
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			Has something come to them that
did not come to their forefathers?
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			Do they not recognize their
messenger? So why do they reject
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			him? Why do they say he is
possessed? No, he has brought them
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:13
			the truth and most of them hate
it. But if the truth were in
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:18
			accordance with their desires, the
heavens, the earth and everyone in
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			them would disintegrate.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			In fact, we have brought them
their reminder and they turn away
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:25
			from it.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:32
			Do you profit ask them for any
payment. Your Lourdes is the best
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			payment. He is the best of
providers.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:40
			You call them to a straight path.
And those who do not believe in
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			the hereafter turn away from that
path. Even if we were to show them
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			mercy and relieve them of
distress, they would blindly
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			persist in their transgression.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			We have already afflicted them,
yet they did not submit to their
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			Lord.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			They will not humble themselves
until we open a gate to severe
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			torment for them. Then they will
be plunged into utter despair.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:12
			It is God who endowed you with
hearing, sight and hearts. How
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			seldom you are grateful.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:20
			It is He Who made you multiply on
earth. It is to him that you will
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:27
			be gathered. It is He Who gives
life and death. The alteration of
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			night and day depends on him. Will
you not use your minds?
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:38
			But like others before them, they
say what? When we die and turn to
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:43
			bow dust and bones? Shall we
really be resurrected? These are
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			just ancient fables.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:50
			Say prophet who owns the earth and
all who live in it. If you know so
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:59
			much, and they will reply, God say
will you not take heed? Say Who is
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			the Lord of this
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Seven Heavens, who is the Lord of
the Mighty Throne? And they will
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:10
			reply, God, say, will you not be
mindful? Say, who controls who
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:14
			holds control of everything in his
hand? Who protects while there is
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			no protection against him? If you
know so much?
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			And they will reply, God,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:28
			say, then how can you be so
diluted? The fact is, we brought
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:33
			them the truth, and they're lying.
God has never had a child, nor is
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:38
			there any God beside him. If there
were, each God would have taken
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:43
			this creation aside, and tried to
overcome the others. May God be
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			exalted above what they describe.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:52
			He knows what is not seen, as well
as what is seen. He is far above
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:57
			any partner they claim for him.
Say, Lord, if you are going to
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:02
			show me the punishment you have
promised them, then Lord, do not
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:07
			include me among the evil doers,
we certainly are able to show you
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:12
			the punishment we have promised
them, Repel evil with good, we are
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:19
			well aware of what they attribute
to us and say, Lord, I take refuge
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:24
			with you from the coatings of the
evil ones. I seek refuge with You,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			Lord, so that they may not come
near me.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:33
			When death comes to one of them,
he cries, my Lord, let me return
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:37
			so as to make amends for the
things I neglected. Never.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			This will not go beyond his words.
A barrier stands behind such
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:47
			people until the very day they are
resurrected. On that day, when the
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:52
			trumpet is blown, the ties between
them will be as nothing. And they
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			will not ask about each other.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			Those whose good deeds weigh heavy
will be successful.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:04
			But those whose balances light
will have lost their souls
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:09
			forever, and will stay in *.
The fire will scorch their faces,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			and their lips will be twisted in
pain.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:18
			Were my messages not recited over
and over to you and still you
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:18
			rejected them?
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:25
			They will say, Lord, our
waywardness overcame us and we
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:29
			went astray. Lord, take us away
from this. And if we go back to
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:34
			our old ways, then we shall really
be evildoers. He will say,
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:42
			Away with you, in Hugo, do not
speak to me. Among my servants,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:47
			there were those who said, Lord,
we believe, forgive us and have
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			mercy on us. You are the Most
Merciful of all, but you kept on
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:55
			laughing at them. So intent were
you on laughing at them, that it
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			made you forget my warning.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:03
			Today, I have rewarded them for
their patience. It is they who
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			will succeed, he will say
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			how many years were you on earth?
And they will replied,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:17
			we stayed a day or a part of a
day. But ask those who keep count.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			He will sit there he will say
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			you stayed but a little. If you
had only known
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			did you think we had created you
in vain, and that you would not be
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			brought back to us?
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:36
			Exalted be God, the true king.
There is no god but Him, the Lord
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			of the glorious throne.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:44
			Whoever prays to another god
alongside him, a god for which he
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:49
			has no evidence will face his
reckoning with his Lord.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:55
			Those who reject the truth will
not be will not prosper. Say
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:01
			Prophet, Lord, forgive and have
mercy. You are the Most Merciful
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			of all.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			This is the end of Surah number 23
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			Surah number 24.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			Light
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			in the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:23
			This is a Surah we have sat down
and made obligatory We have sent
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			down queer revelations in it so
that you may take heed.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			Strike the adulterous and the
adulterer 100 times. Do not let
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:37
			compassion for them keep you from
carrying out God's law.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:42
			If you believe in God and the Last
Day and ensure that a group of
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:47
			believers witnessed the punishment
the adulterer is only fit to marry
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			an adulterous or an idolatrous
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:56
			and the adulterous is only fit to
marry an adulterer or an idolatry.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			Such behavior is forbidden to
believers
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			As for those who accused chaste
women of fornication, and then
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:10
			fail to provide for witnesses,
strike them at times, and reject
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:15
			their testimony ever afterwards.
They are the law breakers, except
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
			for those who repent later, and
make amends.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			God is Most Forgiving and
Merciful.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:29
			As for those who accused their own
wives of adultery, but have no
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:34
			other witnesses, let each one four
times call God to witness that he
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:38
			is telling the truth. And the
fifth time, call God to reject Him
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			if He is lying.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:44
			Punishment shall be averted from
his wife, if she in turn four
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			times calls God to witness that
her husband is lying. And the
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			fifth time calls God to reject
her, if he is telling the truth.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:57
			If it were not for God's bounty
and mercy towards you, if it were
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:01
			not that God accepts repentance,
and as wise,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06
			it was a group from among you who
brought the false accusation. Do
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10
			not consider it a bad thing for
you people. It was a good thing,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			and every one of them will be
charged with the sin he has
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			earned.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:19
			He who took the greatest part in
it will have a painful torment.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			When you heard the lie, why did
believing men and women not think
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			well of their own people and
declare
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			this is obviously a lie?
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:35
			And why did the accusers not bring
four witnesses to it?
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			If they cannot produce such
witnesses, they are the liars in
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:41
			God's eyes.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			If it were not for God's bounty,
and mercy towards you in this
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			world in the next, you would
already have been afflicted by
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			terrible suffering for indulging
in such talk.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			When you took it up with your
tongues, and spoke with your
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:02
			mouths, things you did not know to
be true. You thought it was
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			trivial, but to God, it was very
serious.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:12
			When you heard the lie, why did
you not say, we should not repeat
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			this? God forbid it is a monstrous
slender.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			God warns you never to do anything
like this again, if you are true
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			believers.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:27
			God makes His Messages clear to
you. God is all knowing, all wise.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			a painful torment waits in this
world in the next for those who
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:37
			like in decency to spread among
the believers. God knows and you
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:37
			do not
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:42
			if it were not for God's bounty
and mercy, and the fact that He is
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			compassionate and merciful.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:51
			Believers do not follow in Satan's
footsteps. If you do so, he will
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			urge you to indecency and evil.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			If it were not for God's bounty
and mercy towards you, not one of
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			you would ever have attained
purity.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:06
			God purifies whoever He will. God
is all hearing, all seeing
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:12
			those who have been graced with
bounty and plenty should not swear
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:17
			that they will no longer gift to
kinsmen, the poor, those who
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			emigrate in God's way. Let them
pardon and forgive.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:26
			Do you not wish that God should
forgive you? God is Most Forgiving
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			and Merciful.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			Those who accused honorable but
unwary believing women are
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:38
			rejected by God in this life and
the next. a painful torment awaits
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			them on the day when their own own
tongues, hands and feet will
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45
			testify against them about what
they have done.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			On that day, God will pay them
they're just do and full. And they
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:55
			will realize that God is the truth
that makes everything clear.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:02
			Corrupt women are for corrupt men,
and corrupt men are for corrupt
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:07
			women. good women are for good men
and good men are for good women.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:12
			The good are innocent of what has
been said against them, they will
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			have forgiveness and a generous
provision.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:20
			Believers do not enter other
people's houses until you have
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:25
			asked permission to do so and
greeted those inside that is best
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:30
			for you. Perhaps you will bear
this in mind. If you find no one
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			in do not enter unless you have
been permitted given permission to
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			do so. If you are told, Go away
then do so. That is more proper
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:43
			for you. God knows well what you
do. You will not be blamed for
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:47
			entering houses where no one lives
and which could provide you with
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			some useful service.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:55
			God knows everything you do openly
and everything you conceal profit,
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			tell believing men to lower their
eyes and guard their private
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			parts.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			That is pure for them. God is well
aware of everything they do
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:10
			and tell believing women that they
should lower their eyes, guard
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			their private parts and not
display their charms beyond what
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:17
			it is what is acceptable to
reveal. They should draw their
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			coverings over their neck lines
and not reveal their charms except
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:26
			to their husbands, their fathers,
their husbands, fathers, their
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:31
			sons, their husbands sons, their
brothers, their brothers sons,
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:36
			their sisters sons, their
womenfolk their slave, such men as
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:40
			attend them who have no desire, or
children who are not yet aware of
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:44
			women's nakedness. They should not
stamp their feet so as to draw
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			attention to any hidden charms,
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:52
			believers, all of you turn to God
so that you may prosper.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:58
			Marry off the single among you,
and those of your male and female
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:02
			slaves who are fit for marriage.
If they are poor, God will provide
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:07
			for them from His bounty. God's
bounty is infinite and He is all
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:07
			knowing.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:13
			Those who are unable to marry
should keep should keep chased
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			until God gives them enough out of
His Bounty.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:21
			If any of your slaves wish to pay
for their freedom, make a contract
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:26
			with them accordingly, if you know
they have good in them and give
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			them some of the wealth God has
given you
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:34
			do not force your slave girls into
prostitution, when they themselves
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			wish to remain honorable in your
quest for the short term gains of
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:42
			this world, although if they are
forced, God will be forgiving and
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			merciful to them.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:49
			We have sent verses down to you
people clarifying the right path,
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:55
			examples of those who passed away
before you and teaching for those
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			who are mindful of God.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:03
			God is the light of the heavens
and earth. His light is like this.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			There is a niche, and in it a
lamp.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:13
			The lamp inside a glass, a glass
like a glittering star, fueled
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:19
			from a blessed olive tree from
neither east nor West, whose oil
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:24
			almost gives light even when no
fire touches it. Light upon light.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:30
			God guides whoever He will take
His light. God draws such
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:34
			comparisons for people. God has
full knowledge of everything
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			shining out and houses of worship.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			God knew that they would be raised
high and his name be remembered in
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:46
			them, with men in them celebrating
his glory, morning and evening.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:52
			Men who are not distracted, either
by commerce or profit, from
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			remembering God, keeping up the
prayer and paying the prescribed
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:02
			alms. Fearing a day when hearts
and eyes will turn over. God will
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:06
			reward such people according to
the best of their actions, and he
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			will give them more of His Bounty.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			God provides limitlessly for
anyone he will.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:19
			But the deeds of disbelievers are
like a mirage in the desert. The
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:24
			thirsty person thinks there will
be water, but when he gets there
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:29
			he finds it as nothing. There he
finds only God who pays him his
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			account in full. God is swift in
reckoning,
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:38
			or like shadows in a deep sea,
covered by waves upon waves, with
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:43
			clouds above, layer upon layer of
darkness. If he holds out his
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:46
			hand, he is scarcely able to see
it.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			The one to whom God gives no light
has no light at all.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:55
			Profit. Do you not see that all
those who are in the heavens and
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:00
			earth Praise God. As to the birds
with wings outstretched. Each
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			knows its own way of prayer and
glorification.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:09
			God has full knowledge of what
they do. Control of the heavens
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			and earth belongs to God, and to
God is the final return.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:19
			Do you not see that God drives the
clouds then gathers them together
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:24
			and piles them up until you see
rain pour from their midst.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:29
			He sends hail down from such
mountains in the sky, pouring it
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:33
			on whoever he wishes, and
diverting it from whoever he
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:38
			wishes. This flash of its
lightning almost * his sight
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:38
			away.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			God alternates night and day.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:46
			There truly is a lesson in all
this for those who have eyes to
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:52
			see. And God created each animal
out of its own fluid. Some of them
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			crawl of their own bellies.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:25:00
			Some walk on two legs and someone
for God creates whatever
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:00
			He will.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			God has power over everything.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			We have sent verses that clarify
the right path.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			God guides whoever He will to a
straight path.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:19
			They say, We believe in God and
the messenger, we obey. But then
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:24
			some of them turn away. These
people are not true believers. And
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			when they are summoned to God and
His Messenger, in order for them
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			to judge between them, some of
them turn away. If they were
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			claiming their right, they would
come willingly to the Prophet. Do
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:39
			they have sickness in their
hearts? Are they full of doubts?
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			Do they fear that God and His
Messenger might deal with them
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:48
			unjustly? No, it is they who are
the unjust ones. When the true
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:52
			believers are summoned to God, and
His Messenger in order for them to
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			judge between them, they say,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			we hear and we obey.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			These are the ones who will
prosper.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:05
			Whoever obeys God and His
Messenger, stands in awe of God
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:10
			and keeps his duty to Him will be
triumphant. The others solemnly
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:14
			swear by God that if you Prophet
commanded them, they would march
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:20
			out, tell them Do not swear. It is
reasonable obedience that is
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:26
			required. And God is aware of
everything you do, say, obey God,
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:32
			obey the messenger. If you turn
away, know that he is responsible
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:36
			for the duty placed upon him and
you are responsible for the duty
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:41
			placed upon you. If you obey Him,
you will be rightly guided. But
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			the messengers duty is only to
deliver the message clearly.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			God has made a promise to those
among you who believe and do good
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:55
			deeds. He will make them
successors to the land as he did
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:59
			those who came before them. He
will establish the religion he has
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:03
			chosen for them. He will grant
them security to replace their
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:03
			fear.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:10
			They will worship me and not join
anything with me. Those who are
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:14
			defiant after that will be the
rebels. People. Keep up the
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:18
			prayer, pay the prescribed arms
and obey the messenger so that you
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			may be given mercy.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			Do not think prophet that the
disbelievers can escape god on
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:31
			earth. The fire will be their
final home, and evil and
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:37
			believers, your slaves and any who
have not yet reached puberty
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:41
			should ask your permission to come
in at three times of day.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:46
			Before the dawn prayer when you
lay your garments aside, in the
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:51
			midday heat, and after the evening
prayer. These are your three times
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:57
			for privacy. At other times, there
is no blame on you or them if you
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			move around each other freely.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:05
			In this way, God makes messages
clear. God is all knowing, all
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			wise.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			When your children reach puberty,
they should always ask your
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:14
			permission to enter like their
elders do.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:20
			This is how God makes His Messages
clear to you. God is all knowing.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			All Wise.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:27
			No blame will be attached to
elderly women who no longer have
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:31
			any desire if they take off their
outer garments without flaunting
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:37
			their charms, but it is preferable
for them not to do this. God is
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			all hearing. All Seeing.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:45
			No blame will be attached to the
blind, the lame, the sick.
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			Whether you eat in your own houses
or those of your father's, your
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:54
			mothers, your brothers, your
sisters, your paternal uncles,
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:58
			your paternal aunts, your maternal
uncles, your maternal aunts,
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:02
			houses you have the keys for or
any of your friend's houses you
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:06
			will not be blamed. You will not
be blamed whether you eat in
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			company or separately.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:12
			When you enter any house, greet
one another with a greeting of
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:18
			blessing and goodness, as enjoined
by God. This is how God makes His
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			message is clear to you so that
you may understand.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:27
			The true believers are those who
believe in God and His messenger
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:31
			who, when they are gathered with
him on a communal matter, do not
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:35
			depart until they have been until
they have asked his permission.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:39
			Those who ask your permission
Prophet are the ones who truly
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:43
			believe in God and His Messenger
when they asked her permission to
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:46
			attend to their private fair
affairs. Allow her allow whoever
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:51
			you see fit, and ask God to
forgive them. God is Most
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			Forgiving and Merciful.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:59
			People do not regard the messenger
as summons to you as being like
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			one of us.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:04
			summoning another, God is well
aware of those of you who steal
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:09
			away surreptitiously, and those
who go against his order should be
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:14
			aware less to trial a flick them,
or they receive a painful torment.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:19
			Everything in the heavens and
earth belongs to God. He knows
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:24
			what state you are in. On the day,
when all are returned to Him, He
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:27
			will tell them everything they
have done. God has full knowledge
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			of everything.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			This is the end of Surah number 24
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			Surah number 25. The
differentiator
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			in the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:49
			Exalted is He Who has sent down
sent the differentiator down to
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:54
			his servant, so that he may give
warning to all people. It is He
		
00:30:54 --> 00:31:00
			who has control over the heavens
and earth and has no offspring. No
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:04
			one shares control with him, and
who created all things and made
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			them to an exact measure.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:11
			Yet the disbelievers take us there
God's things beneath them beneath
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:15
			him that create nothing and are
themselves created that can
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:20
			neither harm nor help themselves
and have no control over death,
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			life or resurrection.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			The disbelievers say
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29
			This can only be a lie he has
forged with the help of others.
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:34
			They themselves have done great
wrong and told lies and they say
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:40
			it is just ancient fables which he
has had written down. They are
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:45
			dictated to him morning and
evening. Say it was sent down by
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:50
			him who knows the secrets of the
heavens and earth. He is
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:56
			Forgiving, All Merciful. They also
say what sort of messenger is
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:01
			this? He eats food and walks about
in the marketplaces. Why has no
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:07
			angel been sent down to help him
with his warnings? Why has he not
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:12
			been given treasure or a garden to
supply his food and the evildoers
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:17
			say, the man you follow is simply
under a spell. See what they think
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:22
			you are like they have gone astray
and cannot find the right way.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:28
			Exalted is He who can if he wishes
give you better things than these
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			gardens graced with flowing
streams and palaces to
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:37
			it is actually the coming of the
hour that they reject. We have
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			prepared a blazing fire for those
who reject the hour.
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:45
			When it sees them from a distance,
they will hear it raging and
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:45
			roaring.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			And when they are hurled into a
narrow part of it, chained
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			together, they will cry out for
death.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:33:01
			Do not cry out this day for one
death. But for many say which is
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:06
			better. This are the lasting
garden that those who are mindful
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:10
			of God have been promised as their
reward and journey's end.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:16
			There they will find everything
they wish for and there they will
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:21
			stay. Profit. This is a binding
promise from your Lord.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:26
			On the day he gathers them all
together with those they worship
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:32
			beside him, he will say was it you
false gods who let these creatures
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:36
			of mine astray? Or did they stray
from the path themselves?
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:44
			They will say, may you be exalted,
we ourselves would never take
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:48
			masters other than you but you
granted them in their forefathers
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:52
			pleasures in this life until they
forgot your reminder and were
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			ruined. God will say
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			now your gods have to sound
denounced what you say is lies.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:02
			You cannot avoid the torment you
will not get any help.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:07
			If any of you commit such evil we
shall make him taste agonizing
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			torment.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			No messenger have we sent before
you Mohammed who did not eat food
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			and walk out in the marketplaces.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:21
			But we have made some of you a
means of testing others will you
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			stand fast your Lord is all seeing
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			this is the end of Jos number 18.
