| 49:1 | | O ye who believe ! be not forward in the presence of ALLAH and HIS Messenger, but fear ALLAH. Verily, ALLAH is All-Hearing, All-Knowing |
| 49:2 | | O ye who believe ! raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak loudly to him as you speak loudly to one another, lest your works come to naught while you perceive not |
| 49:3 | | Verily, those who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger of ALLAH - those are they whose hearts ALLAH has purified for righteousness. For them is forgiveness and a great reward |
| 49:4 | | Those who call out to thee from without thy private apartments - most of them have no sense |
| 49:5 | | And if they had waited patiently until thou camest out to them, it would be better for them. But ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful |
| 49:6 | | O ye who believe ! if an unrighteous person brings you any news, investigate it fully, lest you harm a people in ignorance, and then you repent of what you did |
| 49:7 | | And know that among you is the Messenger of ALLAH; if he were to follow your wishes in many matters, you would, surely, come to trouble; but ALLAH has endeared the faith to you and has made it look beautiful to your hearts, and HE has made disbelief, wickedness and disobedience hateful to you. Such, indeed, are those who follow the right cours |
| 49:8 | | By ALLAH's grace and HIS favour. And ALLAH is ALL-Knowing, Wise |
| 49:9 | | And if two parties of believers fight each other, make peace between them; then if after that, one of them transgresses against the other, fight the party that transgress until it returns to the command of ALLAH. Then if it returns, make peace between them with equity, and act justly. Verily, ALLAH loves the just |
| 49:10 | | Surely, all believers are brothers. So make peace between your brothers, and fear ALLAH that mercy may be shown to you |
| 49:11 | | O ye who believe ! let not one people deride another people, haply they may be better than they, nor let one group of women deride other women, haply they may be better than they. And do not defame your people nor call one another by nick-names. It is an evil thing to be called by bad name after having believed; and those who repent not, such are the wrongdoers |
| 49:12 | | O ye who believe ! avoid much suspicion; for suspicion in some cases is a sin. And spy not on one another, neither back-bite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Certainly, you would loath it. And fear ALLAH, surely, ALLAH is oft-Returning with compassion and is Merciful |
| 49:13 | | O mankind, WE have created you from a male and a female; And WE have made you tribes and sub-tribes that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable among you, in the sight of ALLAH, is he who is the most righteous among you. Surely, ALLAH is All-Knowing, All-Aware |
| 49:14 | | The Arabs of the desert say, `We believe.' Say, `You have not truly believed yet, but rather say, `We have submitted, for true faith has not yet entered into your hearts.' But if you obey ALLAH and HIS Messenger, HE will not detract anything from your deeds. Surely, ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful |
| 49:15 | | The believers are only those who truly believe in ALLAH and HIS Messenger, and then doubt not, but strive with their possessions and their persons in the cause of ALLAH. It is they who are truthful |
| 49:16 | | Say, `Would you acquaint ALLAH with your faith, while ALLAH knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and ALLAH knows all things full well? |
| 49:17 | | They presume to regard it a favour to thee that they have embraced Islam. Say, `Deem not your embracing Islam as a favour unto me. On the contrary, ALLAH has bestowed a favour upon you in that HE has guided you to the true Faith, if you are truthful. |
| 49:18 | | Verily, ALLAH knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth. And ALLAH sees all what you do. |
