Teach Your Children to Knock A Beautiful Command from the Quran

📖 Surah An-Nur (24:58–59) — English Translation

Verse 58:
“O believers! Let your servants and those among you who have not yet reached puberty ask permission (before entering your private rooms) during three times:
Before the Fajr prayer,
When you take off your clothes to rest at midday,
And after the ‘Isha’ prayer.
These are three times of privacy for you.
Beyond these times, there is no blame upon you or upon them, for you move around one another.
Thus Allah makes His commands clear to you.
And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”

Verse 59:
“And when your children reach the age of puberty, let them ask permission (to enter at all times), just as those before them were required to do.
Thus Allah makes His verses clear to you.
And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”

🌙 Urdu Translation

آیت 58:
اے ایمان والو!
تمہارے غلام اور وہ بچے جو ابھی بالغ نہیں ہوئے، وہ تین خاص وقتوں میں تمہارے کمروں میں آنے سے پہلے اجازت طلب کریں:

فجر سے پہلے

دوپہر کے آرام کے وقت

عشاء کے بعد
یہ تمہارے پردے اور پرائیویسی کے اوقات ہیں۔
باقی اوقات میں تم ایک دوسرے کے پاس آ جا سکتے ہو۔
اللہ تمہیں اپنے احکام واضح کر رہا ہے، اور وہ سب کچھ جاننے والا، حکمت والا ہے۔

آیت 59:
اور جب تمہارے بچے بالغ ہو جائیں تو وہ بھی ہر وقت اجازت لے کر داخل ہوں، جیسے بڑے لوگ اجازت لیتے ہیں۔
اللہ اپنے احکام واضح فرماتا ہے، اور وہ علم و حکمت والا ہے۔
