[Noor 24:54] Proclaim, "Obey Allah and obey the Noble Messenger; so if you turn away, then the Noble Messenger is bound only for what is obligatory upon him, and upon you is the duty placed upon you"; and if you obey the Noble Messenger, you will attain guidance; and the Noble Messenger is not liable except to plainly convey. [Noor 24:55] Allah has promised those among you who believe and do good deeds, that He will certainly give them the Caliphate in the earth the way He gave to those before them; and that He will certainly establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them, and will turn their prior fear into peace; they must worship Me and not ascribe anything as a partner to Me; and whoever is ungrateful after this – it is they who are the disobedient. [Noor 24:56] And keep the prayer established and pay the obligatory charity and obey the Noble Messenger, in the hope of attaining mercy. [Noor 24:57] Do not ever think that the disbelievers can escape from Our control in the land; and their destination is the fire; and indeed what a wretched outcome! Section 8
[Noor 24:58] O People who Believe! The slaves you possess
and those among you who have not attained adulthood, must seek your permission
on three occasions; before the dawn prayer, and when you remove your garments
in the afternoon, and after the night prayer; these three times are of
privacy for you; other than these three times, it is no sin for you or
for them; moving about around you and among each other; and this is how
Allah explains the verses for you; and Allah is All Knowing, Wise. |
