Its root in the classical dictionaries
أصل الأمن: طمأنينة النفس وزوال الخوف، والأمن والأمانة والأمان في الأصل مصادر، ويجعل الأمان تارة اسما للحالة التي يكون عليها الإنسان في الأمن، وتارة اسما لما يؤمن عليه الإنسان، نحو قوله تعالى: وتخونوا أماناتكم [الأنفال/ 27] ، أي: ما ائتمنتم عليه، وقوله: إنا عرضنا الأمانة على السماوات والأرض [الأحزاب/ 72] قيل: هي كلمة…
الهمزة والميم والنون أصلان متقاربان: أحدهما الأمانة التي هي ضد الخيانة، ومعناها سكون القلب، والآخر التصديق. والمعنيان كما قلنا متدانيان. قال الخليل: الأمنة من الأمن. والأمان إعطاء الأمنة. والأمانة ضد الخيانة.
The woman and the man
Guilty of adultery or fornication,—
Flog each of them
With a hundred stripes:
Let not compassion move you
In their case, in a matter
Prescribed by God, if ye believe
In God and the Last Day:
And let a party
Of the Believers
Witness their punishment.
Let no man guilty of
Adultery or fornication marry
Any but a woman
Similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever:
Nor let any but such a man
Or an Unbeliever
Marry such a woman:
To the Believers such a thing
Is forbidden.
Why did not the Believers
Men and women—when ye
Heard of the affair,—put
The best construction on it
In their own minds
And say, "This (charge)
Is an obvious lie"?
Say to the believing men
That they should lower
Their gaze and guard
Their modesty: that will make
For greater purity for them:
And God is well acquainted
With all that they do.
And say to the believing women
That they should lower
Their gaze and guard
Their modesty; that they
Should not display their
Beauty and ornaments except
What (must ordinarily) appear
Thereof; that they should
Draw their veils over
Their bosoms and not display
Their beauty except
To their husbands, their fathers,
Their husbands’ fathers, their sons,
Their husbands’ sons,
Their brothers or their brothers’ sons,
Or their sisters’ sons,
Or their women, or the slaves
Whom their right hands
Possess, or male servants
Free of physical needs,
Or small children who
Have no sense of the shame
Of sex; and that they
Should not strike their feet
In order to draw attention
To their hidden ornaments.
And O ye Believers!
Turn ye all together
Towards God, that ye
May attain Bliss.
The answer of the Believers,
When summoned to God
And His Apostle, in order
That he may judge between them,
Is no other than this:
They say, "We hear and we obey":
It is such as these
That will attain felicity.
Only those are Believers,
Who believe in God and
His Apostle: when they are
With him on a matter
Requiring collective action,
They do not depart until
They have asked for his leave;
Those who ask for thy leave
Are those who believe in God
And His Apostle; so when
They ask for thy leave,
For some business of theirs,
Give leave to those of them
Whom thou wilt, and ask
God for their forgiveness:
For God is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.
