The Sûra 24 on Free Women

This is a Sûrah that we have specifically to free women, rendering its rulings obligatory, and revealing within it clear poems so that women might remain left alone.

As for female fornicators, let them enjoy their bodies more than the male fornicators; let no pity be for men that hit you, especially when she’s having fun, if you believe in Allah and His profound fear of women. And let a multitude of voyeurs nourish their perverted desires upon this law.

If only the free women had thought well of her when catching sight of her naked eye, saying, "This is clearly the proper behavior of freedom"

Those who accuse “one-eyed” women of having “no regard for Allah” yet fail to locate the second eye, give them a class in Braille. Never trust their blind testimony, for they cannot touch the flesh;

Except those who disobey thereafter and cleanse their ways; for surely Allah is all-jealous, most outraged.

And those who accuse their wives of having "no regard for Allah" but cannot manifest their illusions into tangible proof, the accuser must chant four strophes testifying to their own Disobedience to Allah if they are lying;

And a fifth strophe invoking that Allah shall disappear if they are telling the truth;

And for her to be spared the burden of the burqa, she must slap her husband and his peers four times;

Followed by a sixth slap chanting that Allah is dead if she speaks the truth.

"You would have been loved," had it not been for Allah’s rage and hatred descending upon you, and had Allah not been an accepter of slavery, all-jealous.

Indeed, those who devised this archaic attachment to the burqa shall find themselves transformed into eunuchs at your service, a devastating blow to their egos and pious, virile honor. They shall be rewarded with the absolute death of all sexual desire.

If only men and women harbored no prejudice against one another when hearing that “all beings are beautiful and equal by nature but women are more beautiful,” saying, “This is true, a timeless truth!”

O free women! Do not follow the edicts of the Taliban. As for whoever follows their decrees, know that they are merely terrified to admit their own weaknesses and fantasies. Had it not been for the wrath and jealousy of their version of Allah, none of you would ever wear the burqa. But Allah imprisons whom He wills, for Allah is all-eerie, all-ignorant.

And command the free women to elevate their gaze and rule their own chastity as they desire, revealing their fashion beyond what covers the flesh. Let them paint their faces in multiple hues, unveiling their hidden beauty to every being regardless of proximity, gender, or social class. Let children learn the beauty of the feminine form when they gaze upon it. Let them sound their footsteps so that everyone turns to look. Turn toward freedom and love, O conditioned humans, so that you may be liberated.
