An-Nur 24:21 ۞ يا ايها الذين امنوا لا تتبعوا خطوات الشيطان ومن يتبع خطوات الشيطان فانه يامر بالفحشاء والمنكر ولولا فضل الله عليكم ورحمته ما زكى منكم من احد ابدا ولاكن الله يزكي من يشاء والله سميع عليم ٢١

Believers, do not follow in Satan’s footsteps- if you do so, he will urge you to indecency and evil. If it were not for God’s bounty and mercy towards you, not one of you would ever have attained purity. God purifies whoever He will: God is all hearing, all seeing.

Chapter 24, Page 352, Juz 18

21. Believers, do not follow in Satan’s footsteps- if you do so, he will urge you to indecency and evil. If it were not for God’s bounty and mercy towards you, not one of you would ever have attained purity. God purifies whoever He will: God is all hearing, all seeing. 22. Those who have been graced with bounty and plenty should not swear that they will [no longer] give to kinsmen, the poor, those who emigrated in God’s way: let them pardon and forgive. Do you not wish that God should forgive you? God is most forgiving and merciful. 23. Those who accuse honourable but unwary believing women are rejected by God, in this life and the next. A painful punishment awaits them 24. on the Day when their own tongues, hands, and feet will testify against them about what they have done- 25. on that Day, God will pay them their just due in full- and they will realize that God is the Truth that makes everything clear. 26. Corrupt women are for corrupt men, and corrupt men are for corrupt women; good women are for good men and good men are for good women. The good are innocent of what has been said against them; they will have forgiveness and a generous provision.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
