The Believers Are But Brothers
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
O you who have believed! Do not put yourselves before God and His messenger.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تقدموا بين يدى الله ورسوله
And guard yourselves toward God.
واتقوا الله
God is indeed the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
ان الله سميع عليم
O you who have believed! Do not elevate your voices above the voice of the Informant, and do not say your saying aloud to him as you do among yourselves, lest your works collapse without your sensing it.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا ترفعوا اصوتكم فوق صوت النبي ولا تجهروا له بالقول كجهر بعضكم لبعض ان تحبط اعملكم وانتم لا تشعرون
Those who hush their voices in the presence of the messenger of God are indeed those whose cores God has examined for guardedness.
ان الذين يغضون اصوتهم عند رسول الله اوليك الذين امتحن الله قلوبهم للتقوى
They will have forgiveness and an immense reward.
لهم مغفرة واجر عظيم
Those who call out to you from behind the chambers, most of them do not reason.
ان الذين ينادونك من وراء الحجرت اكثرهم لا يعقلون
And had they been patient until you came out to them, it would have been better for them.
ولو انهم صبروا حتى تخرج اليهم لكان خيرا لهم
And God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
والله غفور رحيم
O you who have believed! If an overstepper brings you a piece of information, distinguish clearly, lest you set upon a people out of ignorance and then become, over what you have done, full of regret.
يايها الذين ءامنوا ان جاءكم فاسق بنبا فتبينوا ان تصيبوا قوما بجهلة فتصبحوا على ما فعلتم ندمين
And know that the messenger of God is among you; were he to defer to you in many matters, you would be overwhelmed.
واعلموا ان فيكم رسول الله لو يطيعكم في كثير من الامر لعنتم
But God has made you love faith and embellished it in your cores, and has made you detest the disowning, overstepping, and disobedience.
ولكن الله حبب اليكم الايمن وزينه في قلوبكم وكره اليكم الكفر والفسوق والعصيان
Those are the ones who have rectitude, by a favor and a blessing from God.
اوليك هم الرشدون فضلا من الله ونعمة
And God is All-Knowing, Wise.
والله عليم حكيم
And if two groups of believers fight each other, reconcile between them.
وان طايفتان من المومنين اقتتلوا فاصلحوا بينهما
If one of the two commits iniquity against the other, fight the one that commits iniquity until it returns to the command of God.
فان بغت احدىهما على الاخرى فقتلوا التي تبغي حتى تفيء الى امر الله
If it returns, reconcile between them with justice, and be equitable.
فان فاءت فاصلحوا بينهما بالعدل واقسطوا
God indeed loves the equitable.
ان الله يحب المقسطين
The believers are but brothers; so reconcile between your two brothers.
انما المومنون اخوة فاصلحوا بين اخويكم
And guard yourselves toward God, perhaps benevolence will be shown to you.
واتقوا الله لعلكم ترحمون
O you who have believed! Let not a people scoff at a people: it may be that they are better than them; nor let women scoff at women: it may be that they are better than them.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا يسخر قوم من قوم عسى ان يكونوا خيرا منهم ولا نساء من نساء عسى ان يكن خيرا منهن
And do not disparage yourselves by insinuation, and do not call each other by nicknames.
ولا تلمزوا انفسكم ولا تنابزوا بالالقب
What a wretched attribute is overstepping, after faith!
بيس الاسم الفسوق بعد الايمن
And whoever does not repent, those are the wrongdoers.
ومن لم يتب فاوليك هم الظلمون
O you who have believed! Avoid much presumption.
يايها الذين ءامنوا اجتنبوا كثيرا من الظن
Some presumption is a transgression.
ان بعض الظن اثم
And do not spy.
ولا تجسسوا
And let none of you backbite another.
ولا يغتب بعضكم بعضا
Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would have an aversion to it.
ايحب احدكم ان ياكل لحم اخيه ميتا فكرهتموه
And guard yourselves toward God.
واتقوا الله
God is indeed the Ever-Accepter of repentance, Benevolent.
ان الله تواب رحيم
O mankind! We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may recognize one another.
يايها الناس انا خلقنكم من ذكر وانثى وجعلنكم شعوبا وقبايل لتعارفوا
The most noble of you, with God, is indeed the most guarded.
ان اكرمكم عند الله اتقىكم
God is All-Knowing, Intimately Acquainted.
ان الله عليم خبير
The notables said: "We have believed." Say: "You have not believed; rather say: 'We have become true to God alone,' for faith has not yet entered your cores.
قالت الاعراب ءامنا قل لم تومنوا ولكن قولوا اسلمنا ولما يدخل الايمن في قلوبكم
And if you defer to God and His messenger, He will not curtail your works in anything.
وان تطيعوا الله ورسوله لا يلتكم من اعملكم شيا
God is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent."
ان الله غفور رحيم
The believers are only those who have believed in God and His messenger, then have not doubted, and have striven with their goods and their Selves in the way of God.
انما المومنون الذين ءامنوا بالله ورسوله ثم لم يرتابوا وجهدوا بامولهم وانفسهم في سبيل الله
Those are the veracious.
اوليك هم الصدقون
Say: "Do you inform God of your Law, while God knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth?
قل اتعلمون الله بدينكم والله يعلم ما في السموت وما في الارض
And God is All-Knowing of all things."
والله بكل شىء عليم
They think they grace you by having become true to God alone.
يمنون عليك ان اسلموا
Say: "Do not think you grace me with your being true to God alone.
قل لا تمنوا على اسلمكم
Rather, it is God who graces you by having guided you to faith, if you are veracious."
بل الله يمن عليكم ان هدىكم للايمن ان كنتم صدقين
God indeed knows what escapes the senses in the heavens and the earth.
ان الله يعلم غيب السموت والارض
And God is All-Seeing of what you do.
والله بصير بما تعملون
