بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
24:41 Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, including the birds that fly in ranks? Each one knows his own prayer and his own method of glorification. Allah knows well what they do.
24:42 To Allah belongs the government of the heavens and the earth. And to Allah is the return.
24:43 Do you not know that Allah drives the clouds, then He gathers them together, then He piles them one upon another and you see the rain coming out of them? He sends down hail from the sky in great masses, and He causes it to fall on whom He wills, and He keeps it away from whom He wills, and the flash of His lightning is almost eye-catching.
24:44 Allah controls the night and the day. Surely there is a lesson in this for those who have eyes.
24:45 Allah creates every living creature from water. Some of them walk on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some walk on four legs. Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah is all-powerful.
24:46 We have sent down clear signs. Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.
24:47 "They say: "We believe in Allah and the messenger and obey". But then, after that, a group of them turn away; they are not believers."
24:48 When they are called to Allah and His messenger to judge between them, a group of them dislike.
24:49 But if the decision is in their favor, they run to it willingly.
24:50 Is there a disease in their hearts? Do they doubt? Do they fear that Allah and His messenger will do them injustice? Indeed they are wrongdoers.
24:51 "When they are called to Allah and His messenger to judge between them, the believers say only this: "We have heard and obeyed."These are the winners."
24:52 Those who obey Allah and His messenger, and honor Allah and listen to Him, it is they who are the overcomers.
24:53 "They swore by Allah with the most solemn of oaths that they would leave if You commanded them. Say, "Do not swear. It is clear how you obey. Allah is aware of everything you do."
24:54 "Say, "Obey Allah and the messenger. If you refuse, he is responsible for his duty and you are responsible for yours. If you follow him, you will find the truth. The messenger´s only duty is to make the message clear."
24:55 Allah has promised those of you who believe and do righteous deeds that He will make them sovereign as He made those before them sovereign, and establish for them the religion He has chosen for them, and turn their fear into security. For they serve me and associate nothing in common with me. Those who disbelieve after that are those who have gone astray.
24:56 Observe the prayer and pay the zakat and follow the messenger that you may be shown mercy.
24:57 Do not think that those who disbelieve will overpower Us. Their destination is the Fire; what an evil destination.
24:58 O you who believe, those who work under you and those of you who have not yet reached puberty should take permission three times: Before the Fajr prayer, at noon when you take off your clothes to rest, and after the Evening prayer. These are your three special times. Other than these, there is no harm in going in and out of each other´s company. This is how Allah explains the verses to you. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
24:59 When your children reach the age of puberty, let them ask permission (before entering your private rooms) as the adults before them asked permission. Thus does Allah make clear to you His Verses. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
24:60 There is no harm for old women who have no expectation of marriage to leave their outer garments, provided that they do not expose their attractive parts. It is better for them to behave chastely. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
