24. Surah An-Nur (the 24th chapter of the Quran) translates directly to "The Light." Containing 64 verses, this chapter is heavily legislative, focusing on social engineering, communal ethics, privacy, and public morality. It is named after one of the most sublime and profound passages in the Quran—the Verse of Light (Ayat an-Nur, verse 35)—which contrasts a healthy, transparent society with the spiritual darkness of hypocrisy.
