Al-Hujurat
Distinguish Clearly
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. O you who have believed! do not put yourselves before God and His messenger.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تقدموا بين يدى الله ورسولهAnd guard yourselves toward God.
واتقوا اللهGod is indeed the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
ان الله سميع عليمO you who have believed! do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, and do not speak loudly to him as you speak loudly to one another, lest your deeds collapse without your realizing it.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا ترفعوا اصوتكم فوق صوت النبي ولا تجهروا له بالقول كجهر بعضكم لبعض ان تحبط اعملكم وانتم لا تشعرونThose who lower their voices in the presence of the messenger of God are those whose cores God has examined for guardedness.
ان الذين يغضون اصوتهم عند رسول الله اوليك الذين امتحن الله قلوبهم للتقوىThey will have forgiveness and an immense reward.
لهم مغفرة واجر عظيمThose who call out to you from behind the [private] chambers, most of them do not reason.
ان الذين ينادونك من وراء الحجرت اكثرهم لا يعقلونHad they been patient until you came out to them, it would have been better for them.
ولو انهم صبروا حتى تخرج اليهم لكان خيرا لهمGod is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
والله غفور رحيمO you who have believed! if an overstepper brings you a piece of information, distinguish clearly, lest you harm 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 ندمينKnow that the messenger of God is among you; were he to obey you in many matters, you would be in great difficulty.
واعلموا ان فيكم رسول الله لو يطيعكم في كثير من الامر لعنتمBut God has made faith dear to you and embellished it in your cores, and has made you detest the disowning [of the truth], overstepping, and disobedience.
ولكن الله حبب اليكم الايمن وزينه في قلوبكم وكره اليكم الكفر والفسوق والعصيانThose are the ones who have rectitude, by a favor and a blessing from God.
اوليك هم الرشدون فضلا من الله ونعمةGod is All-Knowing, Wise.
والله عليم حكيمAnd if two groups of believers fight each other, reconcile between them.
وان طايفتان من المومنين اقتتلوا فاصلحوا بينهماIf one of the two commits aggression against the other, fight the one that commits aggression until it returns to the command of God.
فان بغت احدىهما على الاخرى فقتلوا التي تبغي حتى تفيء الى امر اللهIf it returns, reconcile between them with justice, and be equitable.
فان فاءت فاصلحوا بينهما بالعدل واقسطواGod indeed loves the equitable.
ان الله يحب المقسطينThe believers are but brothers; so reconcile between your two brothers.
انما المومنون اخوة فاصلحوا بين اخويكمAnd guard yourselves toward God, so that you may receive benevolence.
واتقوا الله لعلكم ترحمونO you who have believed! let not a people mock [another] people: it may be that they are better than them; nor let women mock [other] 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 منهنDo not disparage yourselves by insinuation, and do not call each other by offensive nicknames.
ولا تلمزوا انفسكم ولا تنابزوا بالالقبWhat a wretched attribute is overstepping, after faith!
بيس الاسم الفسوق بعد الايمنAnd whoever does not repent, those are the wrongdoers.
ومن لم يتب فاوليك هم الظلمونO you who have believed! avoid much conjecture.
يايها الذين ءامنوا اجتنبوا كثيرا من الظنFor some conjecture is a transgression.
ان بعض الظن اثمAnd do not spy.
ولا تجسسواAnd let none of you backbite another.
ولا يغتب بعضكم بعضاWould any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it.
ايحب احدكم ان ياكل لحم اخيه ميتا فكرهتموهAnd guard yourselves toward God.
واتقوا اللهGod is indeed the Ever-Accepter of repentance, Benevolent.
ان الله تواب رحيمO mankind! We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes, so that you may recognize one another.
يايها الناس انا خلقنكم من ذكر وانثى وجعلنكم شعوبا وقبايل لتعارفواThe most noble of you, with God, is the most guarded.
ان اكرمكم عند الله اتقىكمGod is indeed All-Knowing, Informed.
ان الله عليم خبيرThe 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 قلوبكمAnd if you obey God and His messenger, He will not diminish your deeds in anything.
وان تطيعوا الله ورسوله لا يلتكم من اعملكم شياGod is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
ان الله غفور رحيمThe 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 اللهThose are the truthful.
اوليك هم الصدقونSay: "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 الارضGod is All-Knowing of all things.
والله بكل شىء عليمThey regard it as a favor to you that they have become true to God alone.
يمنون عليك ان اسلمواSay: "Do not regard your true adherence to God alone as a favor to me."
قل لا تمنوا على اسلمكمRather, it is God who bestows a favor upon you in that He has guided you to faith, if you are truthful.
بل الله يمن عليكم ان هدىكم للايمن ان كنتم صدقينGod knows what escapes the senses in the heavens and the earth.
ان الله يعلم غيب السموت والارضGod sees perfectly what you do.
والله بصير بما تعملون
