| 1. O Ye who believe! 
												Put not yourselves forward 
												before Allah and His Messenger. 
												but fear Allah. for Allah is He 
												Who hears and knows all things.
 2. O ye who believe! Raise not 
												your voices above the voice of 
												the Prophet, nor speak aloud to 
												him in talk, as ye may speak 
												aloud to one another, lest your 
												deeds become vain and ye 
												perceive not.
 
 3. Those that lower their voices 
												in the presence of Allah.s 
												Messenger,- their hearts has 
												Allah tested for piety: for them 
												is Forgiveness and a great 
												Reward.
 
 4. Those who shout out to thee 
												from without the inner 
												apartments - most of them lack 
												understanding.
 
 5. If only they had patience 
												until thou couldst come out to 
												them, it would be best for them: 
												but Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most 
												Merciful.
 
 6. O ye who believe! If a wicked 
												person comes to you with any 
												news, ascertain the truth, lest 
												ye harm people unwittingly, and 
												afterwards become full of 
												repentance for what ye have 
												done.
 
 7. And know that among you is 
												Allah.s Messenger. were he, in 
												many matters, to follow your 
												(wishes), ye would certainly 
												fall into misfortune: But Allah 
												has endeared the Faith to you, 
												and has made it beautiful in 
												your hearts, and He has made 
												hateful to you Unbelief, 
												wickedness, and rebellion: such 
												indeed are those who walk in 
												righteousness;-
 
 8. A Grace and Favour from 
												Allah. and Allah is full of 
												Knowledge and Wisdom.
 
 9. If two parties among the 
												Believers fall into a quarrel, 
												make ye peace between them: but 
												if one of them transgresses 
												beyond bounds against the other 
												then fight ye (all) against the 
												one that transgresses until it 
												complies with the command of 
												Allah; but if it complies then 
												make peace between them with 
												justice and be fair: for Allah 
												loves those who are fair (and 
												just).
 
 10. The Believers are but a 
												single Brotherhood: So make 
												peace and reconciliation between 
												your two (contending) brothers; 
												and fear Allah, that ye may 
												receive Mercy.
 
 11. O ye who believe! Let not 
												some men among you laugh at 
												others: It may be that the 
												(latter) are better than the 
												(former): Nor let some women 
												laugh at others: It may be that 
												the (latter are better than the 
												(former): Nor defame nor be 
												sarcastic to each other, nor 
												call each other by (offensive) 
												nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name 
												connoting wickedness, (to be 
												used of one) after he has 
												believed: And those who do not 
												desist are (indeed) doing wrong.
 
 12. O ye who believe! Avoid 
												suspicion as much (as possible): 
												for suspicion in some cases is a 
												sin: And spy not on each other 
												behind their backs. Would any of 
												you like to eat the flesh of his 
												dead brother? Nay, ye would 
												abhor it...But fear Allah. For 
												Allah is Oft-Returning, Most 
												Merciful.
 
 13. O mankind! We created you 
												from a single (pair) of a male 
												and a female, and made you into 
												nations and tribes, that ye may 
												know each other (not that ye may 
												despise (each other). Verily the 
												most honoured of you in the 
												sight of Allah is (he who is) 
												the most righteous of you. And 
												Allah has full knowledge and is 
												well acquainted (with all 
												things).
 
 14. The desert Arabs say, "We 
												believe." Say, "Ye have no 
												faith; but ye (only)say, 'We 
												have submitted our wills to 
												Allah,' For not yet has Faith 
												entered your hearts. But if ye 
												obey Allah and His Messenger, He 
												will not belittle aught of your 
												deeds: for Allah is 
												Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
 
 15. Only those are Believers who 
												have believed in Allah and His 
												Messenger, and have never since 
												doubted, but have striven with 
												their belongings and their 
												persons in the Cause of Allah. 
												Such are the sincere ones, Were 
												We then weary with the first 
												Creation, that they should be in 
												confused doubt about a new 
												Creation?
 
 16. Say: "What! Will ye instruct 
												Allah about your religion? But 
												Allah knows all that is in the 
												heavens and on earth: He has 
												full knowledge of all things.
 
 17. They impress on thee as a 
												favour that they have embraced 
												Islam. Say, "Count not your 
												Islam as a favour upon me: Nay, 
												Allah has conferred a favour 
												upon you that He has guided you 
												to the faith, if ye be true and 
												sincere.
 
 18. "Verily Allah knows the 
												secrets of the heavens and the 
												earth: and Allah Sees well all 
												that ye do."
