৩:১৩৫

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

আৰু যিসকলে কোনো অশ্লীল কাম কৰিলে বা নিজৰ প্ৰতি অন্যায় কৰিলে আল্লাহক স্মৰণ কৰে আৰু নিজৰ পাপ কাৰ্যৰ বাবে ক্ষমা প্ৰাৰ্থনা কৰে। আল্লাহৰ বাহিৰে আন কোন আছে যিয়ে পাপ ক্ষমা কৰিব পাৰিব? আৰু সিহঁতে যিটো কৰি পেলাইছে সেইটো জানি বুজি পুনৰ নকৰে।

XI.iii

fāḥishat — sexual immorality

faḥshā — sexual immorality

While this is translated variously by the Traditionalist, we do not 

have to guess as to the meaning. The Qur’an applies fāḥish (sg.) to 

three scenarios only: sex outside of marriage (17:32); marrying 

the wife of one’s father (4:22); and male homosexuality (7:80-

81, 27:54-55). 

Why there are two versions of this word I do not know.However,

the fact that they are synonyms is established at 7:28, and I 

render them identically.

XI.iv

dhanb — transgression

dhunūb — transgressions

The present translation renders this value as transgressions 

since the contexts at 3:11 and 8:50-54 make it clear that dhunūb 

signifies that denial or rejection of the proofs of God which can 

take a man to Hell if not repented of or forgiven.

11 Like the case of the house of Pharaoh and those before 

them: they denied Our proofs, so God seized them for 

their transgressions; and God is severe in retribution.

(3:11)

This value does not contradict those values which the 

Traditionalist typically uses, but is here consistently applied 

throughout.
