| 49:1 | | O you who believe! Don’t put forward (your decision in advance) before Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah. Surely! Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower (of everything). |
| 49:2 | | O you who believe! Don’t raise your voices above the voice of the prophet, nor speak aloud when talking to him as some of you speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds should become fruitless while you don’t perceive. |
| 49:3 | | Surely! Those who lower their voices in the presence of Allah’s Messenger, they are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for piety. They shall have forgiveness and a great reward. |
| 49:4 | | Surely! Those who call you (O Muhammad) from behind the residences, most of them have no common sense. |
| 49:5 | | If they had patience until you could come out to them, it would certainly be better for them. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |
| 49:6 | | O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done. |
| 49:7 | | Know that the Messenger of Allah is among you. If he were to follow you (opinions and desires) in most of the affairs, you would surely be in trouble. Allah has made the faith beloved to you and beautified it in your hearts, and has made disbelief, wickedness and disobedience (to Allah and His Messenger) hateful to you. Such are they who are rightly guided, |
| 49:8 | | (through) a grace from Allah and His Favor. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise. |
| 49:9 | | And if 2 parties among the believers begin fighting, then make peace between them. But if one of them transgresses against the other, then you fight against the one who has transgressed until it complies with the command of Allah. Then if it complies, make reconciliation between them justly and be fair. Surely! Allah loves those who are just and fair. |
| 49:10 | | The believers are only brothers (in Islam). So make reconciliation between your brothers and fear Allah, so that you may receive mercy. |
| 49:11 | | O you who believe! Let not a group mock at another group, it may be that the latter are better than them (former). Nor let (some) women mock at other women, it may be that they (latter) are better than them (former), nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it (to call) wicked name after having faith. Whoever does not repent, then such are indeed wrongdoers. |
| 49:12 | | O you who believe! Avoid much of suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. Don’t spy, nor backbite some of you to others. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of its dead brother? You would hate it. Fear Allah. Surely, Allah is the one who Accepts repentance, Merciful. |
| 49:13 | | O mankind! Surely We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Surely, the most honorable of you with Allah is the most pious of you. Surely, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware. |
| 49:14 | | The Bedouins say: "We believe." Say: "You don’t believe but you only say, we have submitted (in Islam), for the faith has not yet entered into your hearts. But if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not decrease anything in reward for your deeds. Surely, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." |
| 49:15 | | Only those are the believers who believe in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward don’t doubt but they strive with their wealth and their lives in the Way of Allah. They are those who are truthful. |
| 49:16 | | Say (O Muhammad): "Will you inform Allah about your religion? Allah knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and Allah is All-Aware of everything. |
| 49:17 | | They regard as favor upon you (O Muhammad) that they have embraced Islam. Say: "Don’t count your Islam as a favor upon me. Nay, but Allah has conferred a favor upon you that Allah has guided you to the faith; (agree) if you indeed are truthful. |
| 49:18 | | Surely, Allah knows the unseen of the heavens and the earth. Allah is the All-Seer of what you do. |
