O ye who believe!\n Put not yourselves forward\n Before God and His Apostle;\n But fear God: for God\n Is He Who hears\n And knows all things.\n2. O ye who believe!\n Raise not your voices!\n Above the voice of the Prophet,\n Nor speak aloud to him\n In talk, as ye may\n Speak aloud to one another,\n Lest your deeds become!\n Vain and ye perceive not.\n3. Those that lower their voice\n In the presence of\n God's Apostle,\u2014their hearts\n Has God tested for piety:\n For them is Forgiveness\n And a great Reward.\n4. Those who shout out\n To thee from without\nThe Inner Apartments\u2014\n Most of them lack understanding.\n5. If only they had patience\n Until thou couldst\n Come out to them,\n It would be best\n For them: but God is\n Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.\n6. O ye who believe!\n If a wicked person comes\n To you with any news,\n Ascertain the truth, lest\n Ye harm people unwittingly,\n And afterwards become\n Full of repentance for\n What ye have done.\n7. And know that among you\n Is God's Apostle: were he,\n In many matters, to follow\n Your (wishes), ye would\n Certainly fall into misfortune:\n But God has endeared\n The Faith to you, and\n Has made it beautiful\n In your hearts, and He\n Has made hateful to you\n Unbelief, wickedness, and\n Rebellion: such indeed are\n Those who walk in righteousness;\u2014\n8. A grace and favour\n From God; and God\n Is full of Knowledge\n And Wisdom.\n9. If two parties among\n The Believers fall into\n A quarrel, make ye peace\n Between them: but if\n One of them transgresses\n Beyond bounds against the other,\n Then fight ye (all) against\n The one that transgresses\n Until it complies with\n The command of God;\n But if it complies, then\n Make peace between them\n With justice, and be fair:\n For God loves those\n Who are fair (and just).\n10. The Believers are but\n A single Brotherhood:\n So make peace and\n Reconciliation between your\n Two (contending) brothers;\n And fear God, that ye\n May receive Mercy.\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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. \"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 Holy Quran: S\u016bra XLIX. \u1e24ujur\u0101t, or th...","type":"page"}
