testimony ............. who hideth a testimony which he hath received from Allah? 1 That is more equitable in the sight of Allah and more sure for testimony, and the best way of avoiding doubt between you; 1 Hide not testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. 1 As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. 1 And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation). 1 But Allah (Himself) testifieth concerning that which He hath revealed unto thee; in His knowledge hath He revealed it; and the Angels also testify. And Allah is sufficient witness. 1 O ye who believe! Let there be witnesses between you when death draweth nigh unto one of you, at the time of bequest--- two witnesses, just men from among you, or two others from another tribe, in case ye are campaigning in the land and the calamity of death befall you. 1 But then, if it is afterwards ascertained that both of them merit (the suspicion of) sin, let two others take their place of those nearly concerned, and let them swear by Allah, (saying): Verily our testimony is truer than their testimony and we have not transgressed(the bounds of duty), for then indeed we should be of the evildoers 1 Thus it is more likely that they will hear true witness or fear that after their oath the oath (of others) will be taken. So be mindful of your duty (to Allah) and hearken 1 Say (O Muhammad) : What thing is of most weight in testimony? Say: Allah is witness between you and me. 1 Do ye in truth bear witness that there are gods beside Allah? Say : I bear no such witness 1 They will say: We testify against ourselves. And the life of the world beguiled them. And they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers. 1 Say: Come, bring your witnesses who can bear witness that Allah forbade (all) this. And if they bear witness, do not thou bear witness with them. Follow thou not the whims of those who deny Our revelations, those who believe not in the Hereafter and deem (others) equal with their Lord 1 Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah or denieth His tokens. (For such) their appointed portion of the Book (of destiny) reacheth them till, when Our messengers come to gather them, they say: Where (now) is that to which ye cried beside Allah? They say: They have departed from us. And they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers 1 And (remember) when thy Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their reins, their seed, and made them testify of themselves, (saying): Am I not your Lord? They said: Yea, verily. We testify. 1 And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear : We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars. 1 Main Page ....
