In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

| |1* A Srah which We have sent down and which We have ordained. In it have We sent down Clear Signs, in order that ye may receive admonition.  
| |2* The woman and the man guilty of fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.  
| |3* The adulterer cannot have sexual relations with any but an adulteress, or idolatress. And the adulteress, none can have sexual relations with her but an adulterer or an idolater: to the Believers such a thing is forbidden.  
| |4* And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-  
| |5* Except those who repent thereafter and mend (their conduct); for Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.  
| |6* And for those who launch a charge against their wives, and have (in support) no evidence but their own,- let one of them testify four times by Allah that he is of those who speak the truth;  
| |7* And the fifth (oath) (should be) that he solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on himself if he tell a lie.  
| |8* But it would avert the punishment from the wife, if she bears witness four times (with an oath) By Allah, that (her husband) is telling a lie;
