O you who believe! Make not (a decision)
in advance before Allah
and His Messenger (SAW),
and fear Allah. Verily! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
O you who believe! Raise not your voices
above the voice of the Prophet (SAW),
nor speak aloud to him in talk as you speak aloud to one another,
lest your deeds may be rendered fruitless while you perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Verily! Those who lower their voices
in the presence of Allah's Messenger (SAW),
they are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for piety.
For them is forgiveness and a great reward. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Verily! Those who call you from behind
the dwellings, most of them have no sense. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And if they had patience till you could
come out to them, it would have been better for them. And Allah
is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
O you who believe! If a Fasiq (liar-evil person) comes to you with any news,
verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards
you become regretful for what you have done. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 7. |
And know that, among you there is the
Messenger of Allah (SAW).
If he were to obey you (i.e.
follow your opinions and desires) in much of the matter, you would surely be in trouble. But Allah
has endeared the Faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts,
and has made disbelief, wickedness and disobedience (to
Allah and His Messenger SAW) hateful to you. Such are they who are rightly guided. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 8. |
(This is) a Grace from Allah and His Favour. And Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And if two parties or groups among
the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both.
But if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which outrages till it complies with the Command
of Allah. Then if it complies, then make reconciliation between
them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allah loves those who
are the equitable. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
The believers are nothing else than
brothers (in Islamic religion).
So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah,
that you may receive mercy. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 11. |
O you who believe! Let not a group
scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than
the former. Nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than
the former. Nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames.
How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e.
to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner",
or "O wicked"]. And
whosever does not repent, then such are indeed Zalimun (wrong-doers, etc.). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion;
indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one
another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother?
You would hate it (so hate
backbiting). And fear Allah.
Verily, Allah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance,
Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
O mankind! We have created you from
a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you
may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah
is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2)].
Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 14. |
The bedouins say: "We believe."
Say: "You believe not but you only say, 'We have surrendered (in Islam),'
for Faith has not yet entered your hearts. But if you obey Allah
and His Messenger (SAW),
He will not decrease anything in reward for your deeds. Verily, Allah
is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 15. |
Only those are the believers who have
believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not
but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allah.
Those! They are the truthful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Say: "Will you inform Allah
of your religion While Allah knows all that is in the heavens
and all that is in the earth, and Allah is All-Aware of everything. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
They regard as favour to you (O Muhammad SAW) that they have embraced Islam. Say: "Count not your Islam
as a favour to me. Nay, but Allah has conferred a favour upon
you that He has guided you to the Faith if you indeed are true. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Verily, Allah knows the Unseen
of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is the All-Seer of
what you do. |
