Ayah: 5

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ

5. And they who guard their private parts⁵,

5. This is the command of Allāh that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in honor and dignity, not in the passion of lust like the non-Muslims who do not know Allāh. No one transgresses in this matter, for Allāh has not called us for impurity, but in righteousness and honor. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but Allāh. Chastity is the dignity of the body, the ornament of morality, the bond of modesty, the peacefulness of home, the source of purity, the purity in conduct and intention and abstention from unlawful sexual intercourse.
