Quran 24:19 – Explanation

[Umer]

He has not reached teaching Chapter 24 yet. In the meanwhile you can read his translation and exegesis in the Javed Ahmed Ghamidi app.

[Daniyaa Khan]

Okay then Can you please tell me about surah An-Nur ayat 19

What is it about?

Verily, those who like that Fahishah should be circulated among those who believe, they will have a painful torment in this world and in the Hereafter. And Allah knows and you know not.

And does this ayat implement all times of people

[Umer]

The verse is in a particular context when certain people were trying to spread vulgarity amongst Muslims in the state of Madina. The applicability of punishment for the culprits is of course for all times.

[Daniyaa Khan]

So can we say media can be a part of it? if there is intimacy or kissing scenes in a story specially in muslim country they are doing the same right? Punishment will be applicable right

[Umer]

Anyone who spreads evil, more particularly vulgarity in this instance, shall be punishable by God.
