- O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and
His messenger, and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Hearer,
Knower.
- O ye who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of
the Prophet, nor shout when speaking to him as ye shout one to
another, lest your works be rendered vain while ye perceive not.
- Lo! they who subdue their voices in the presence of the
messenger of Allah, those are they whose hearts Allah hath proven unto
righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward.
- Lo! those who call thee from behind the private apartments,
most of them have no sense.
- And if they had had patience till thou camest forth unto them,
it had been better for them. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
- O ye who believe! If an evil-liver bring you tidings, verify
it, lest ye smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent of what
ye did.
- And know that the messenger of Allah is among you. If he were
to obey you in much of the government, ye would surely be in trouble;
but Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in
your hearts, and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion
hateful unto you. Such are they who are the rightly guided.
- (It is) a bounty and a grace from Allah; and Allah is Knower,
Wise.
- And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make
peace between them. And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other,
fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of
Allah; then, if it return, make peace between them justly, and act
equitably. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable.
- The believers are naught else than brothers. Therefore make
peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that haply
ye may obtain mercy.
- O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be
better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be better
than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by
nicknames. Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoso turneth
not in repentance, such are evil-doers.
- O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion
is a crime. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of
you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother ? Ye abhor that (so
abhor the other)! And keep your duty (to Allah). Lo! Allah is
Relenting, Merciful.
- O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have
made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the
noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo!
Allah is Knower, Aware.
- The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O
Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith
hath not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if ye obey Allah and His
messenger, He will not withhold from you aught of (the reward of) your
deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
- The (true) believers are those only who believe in Allah and
His messenger and afterward doubt not, but strive with their wealth
and their lives for the cause of Allah. Such are the sincere.
- Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Would ye teach Allah your
religion, when Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that
is in the earth, and Allah is Aware of all things ?
- They make it a favour unto thee (Muhammad) that they have
surrendered (unto Him). Say: Deem not your Surrender a favour unto me;
but Allah doth confer a favour on you, inasmuch as He hath led you to
the Faith, if ye are earnest.
- Lo! Allah knoweth the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. And
Allah is Seer of what ye do.
