The Rooms) - سورة الحجرات

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ
يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ
عَلِيمٌ ( 1 )
O you who have believed, do not put [yourselves]
before Allah and His Messenger but fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Hearing
and Knowing.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَرْفَعُوا
أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ
كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَن تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لَا
تَشْعُرُونَ ( 2 )
O you who have believed, do not raise your voices
above the voice of the Prophet or be loud to him in speech like the
loudness of some of you to others, lest your deeds become worthless
while you perceive not.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِندَ
رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ
لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ( 3 )
Indeed, those who lower their voices before the
Messenger of Allah - they are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for
righteousness. For them is forgiveness and great reward.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَكَ مِن وَرَاءِ الْحُجُرَاتِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ ( 4 )
Indeed, those who call you, [O Muhammad], from behind the chambers - most of them do not use reason.

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّىٰ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ( 5 )
And if they had been patient until you [could]
come out to them, it would have been better for them. But Allah is
Forgiving and Merciful.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءَكُمْ
فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ
فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ ( 6 )
O you who have believed, if there comes to you a
disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people
out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful.

وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ۚ لَوْ
يُطِيعُكُمْ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْرِ لَعَنِتُّمْ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ
حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَزَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَكَرَّهَ
إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوقَ وَالْعِصْيَانَ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ
الرَّاشِدُونَ ( 7 )
And know that among you is the Messenger of
Allah. If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would be in
difficulty, but Allah has endeared to you the faith and has made it
pleasing in your hearts and has made hateful to you disbelief, defiance
and disobedience. Those are the [rightly] guided.

فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَنِعْمَةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ( 8 )
[It is] as bounty from Allah and favor. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

وَإِن طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ فَإِن بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى
الْأُخْرَىٰ فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّىٰ تَفِيءَ إِلَىٰ أَمْرِ
اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن فَاءَتْ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا بِالْعَدْلِ
وَأَقْسِطُوا ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ ( 9 )
And if two factions among the believers should
fight, then make settlement between the two. But if one of them
oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it
returns to the ordinance of Allah. And if it returns, then make
settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allah loves
those who act justly.

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ( 10 )
The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ
قَوْمٌ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاءٌ
مِّن نِّسَاءٍ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّ ۖ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا
أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ ۖ بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ
الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ ۚ وَمَن لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ
الظَّالِمُونَ ( 11 )
O you who have believed, let not a people
ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let
women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And
do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive]
nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And
whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا
كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا
وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ
لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ
اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ ( 12 )
O you who have believed, avoid much [negative]
assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite
each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when
dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of
repentance and Merciful.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن
ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ
إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ
خَبِيرٌ ( 13 )
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male
and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one
another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most
righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

قَالَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ آمَنَّا ۖ قُل لَّمْ
تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَٰكِن قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْإِيمَانُ
فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ ۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَا يَلِتْكُم
مِّنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ شَيْئًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ( 14 )
The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You
have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for
faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His
Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed,
Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْتَابُوا وَجَاهَدُوا بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ
وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ ( 15 )
The believers are only the ones who have believed
in Allah and His Messenger and then doubt not but strive with their
properties and their lives in the cause of Allah. It is those who are
the truthful.

قُلْ أَتُعَلِّمُونَ اللَّهَ بِدِينِكُمْ
وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ
بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ( 16 )
Say, "Would you acquaint Allah with your religion
while Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the
earth, and Allah is Knowing of all things?"

يَمُنُّونَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ أَسْلَمُوا ۖ قُل لَّا
تَمُنُّوا عَلَيَّ إِسْلَامَكُم ۖ بَلِ اللَّهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ
هَدَاكُمْ لِلْإِيمَانِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ( 17 )
They consider it a favor to you that they have
accepted Islam. Say, "Do not consider your Islam a favor to me. Rather,
Allah has conferred favor upon you that He has guided you to the faith,
if you should be truthful."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ( 18 )
Indeed, Allah knows the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Seeing of what you do.
