Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la yaskhar qawmun min qawmin AAasa an yakoonoo khayran minhum wala nisaon min nisa-in AAasa an yakunna khayran minhunna wala talmizoo anfusakum wala tanabazoo bial-alqabi bi/sa al-ismu alfusooqu baAAda al-eemani waman lam yatub faola-ika humu alththalimoona\n11. O ye who believe!\n Let not some men\n Among you laugh at others:\n It may be that\n The (latter) are better\n Than the (former):\n Nor let some women\n Laugh at others:\nIt may be that\n The (latter) are better\n Than the (former):\n Nor defame nor be\n Sarcastic to each other,\n Nor call each other\n By (offensive) nicknames:\n Ill-seeming is a name\n Connoting wickedness,\n (To be used of one)\n After he has believed:\n And those who\n Do not desist are\n (Indeed) doing wrong.\n12. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ijtaniboo katheeran mina alththanni inna baAAda alththanni ithmun wala tajassasoo wala yaghtab baAAdukum baAAdan ayuhibbu ahadukum an ya/kula lahma akheehi maytan fakarihtumoohu waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha tawwabun raheemun\n12. O ye who believe!\n Avoid suspicion as much\n (As possible): for suspicion\n In some cases is a sin:\n And spy not on each other,\n Nor speak ill of each other\n Behind their backs. Would any\n Of you like to eat\n The flesh of his dead\n Brother? Nay, ye would\n Abhor it\u2026 But fear God:\n For God is Oft-Returning,\n Most Merciful.\n13. Ya ayyuha alnnasu inna khalaqnakum min thakarin waontha wajaAAalnakum shuAAooban waqaba-ila litaAAarafoo inna akramakum AAinda Allahi atqakum inna Allaha AAaleemun khabeerun\n13. O mankind! We created\n You from a single (pair)\n Of a male and a female,\n And made you into\n Nations and tribes, that\n Ye may know each other\n (Not that ye may despise\n (Each other). Verily\n The most honoured of you\n In the sight of God\n Is (he who is) the most\n Righteous of you.\n And God has full knowledge\n And is well acquainted\n (With all things).\n14. Qalati al-aAArabu amanna qul lam tu/minoo walakin qooloo aslamna walamma yadkhuli al-eemanu fee quloobikum wa-in tuteeAAoo Allaha warasoolahu la yalitkum min aAAmalikum shay-an inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun\n14. The desert Arabs say,\n \"We believe.\" Say, ''Ye\n Have no faith; but ye\n (Only) say, \"We have submitted\n Our wills to God,\"\n For not yet has Faith\n Entered your hearts.\n But if ye obey God\n And His Apostle, He\n Will not belittle aught\n Of your deeds: for God\n Is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.\"\n15. Innama almu/minoona allatheena amanoo biAllahi warasoolihi thumma lam yartaboo wajahadoo bi-amwalihim waanfusihim fee sabeeli Allahi ola-ika humu alssadiqoona\n15. Only those are Believers\n Who have believed in God\n And His Apostle, and have\n Never since doubted, but\n Have striven with their\n Belongings and their persons\n In the Cause of God:\n Such are the sincere ones.\n16. Qul atuAAallimoona Allaha bideenikum waAllahu yaAAlamu ma fee alssamawati wama fee al-ardi waAllahu bikulli shay-in AAaleemun\n16. Say: \"What! Will ye\n Instruct God about your\n Religion? But God knows\n All that is in the heavens\n And on earth: He has\n Full knowledge of all things.\n17. Yamunnoona AAalayka an aslamoo qul la tamunnoo AAalayya islamakum bali Allahu yamunnu AAalaykum an hadakum lil-eemani in kuntum sadiqeena\n17. They impress on thee\n As favour that they\n Have embraced Islam.\n Say, \"Count not your Islam\n As a favour upon me:\n Nay, God has conferred\n A favour upon you\n That He has guided you\n To the Faith, if ye\n Be true and sincere.\n18. Inna Allaha yaAAlamu ghayba alssamawati waal-ardi waAllahu baseerun bima taAAmaloona\n18. \"Verily God knows\n The secrets of the heavens\n And the earth: and God\n Sees well all\n That ye do.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XLIX.: \u1e24ujur\u0101t, or the Inner Apartments.: Section 2 (11-18)","type":"page"}
