The relation of this verse with the previous verses is in this way that in the former holy verses the discussion focused on chastity, struggling against indecency by means of various ways, and since what guarantees the execution of all Divine ordinances, especially controlling unrestrained instincts, more importantly sexual instinct, which is the most powerful one, can not be done without having 'faith' as support, finally the [^1] The Commentary book: 'Nur', following of the verse, and for more information, you may refer to Kitab ul-Wafi, Vol.

9, verse 32: "... and Allah refuses but to perfect His Light, though the infidels detest it." The Prophet (p.b.u.h.): In Sura Al-Ahzab, No.
