SURAH
AL-HUJURAT
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. 'O believers! Exceed not over Allah and his Messenger
and fear Allah. Undoubtedly Allah Hears, Knows
2. 'O believers! Raise not your voices above the voice of
the Communicator of unseen (the Prophet) and speak not aloud
in presence of him as you shout to one another, lest your works
become vain while you are unaware.
3. Undoubtedly, those who lower down their voices in the
presence of the messenger of Allah those are they whose hearts
Allah has tested for piety. For them is forgiveness and great
reward.
4. Undoubtedly, those who call you from behind your private
apartments, most of them are stupid.
5. And if they had patience, until you yourself come out
to them that had been better for them. And Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
6. 'O believers! If any disobedient comes to you with any
news make a strict inquiry lest you may hurt any people improperly
then remain repenting on what you have done.
7. And know that the Messenger of Allah is among you. If
he were to do according to your liking in much of the affairs,
you would then surely be in trouble, but Allah has endeared
the faith to you and has adorned it in your hearts and He has
made infidelity, and iniquity and disobedience hateful to you
such persons are on the right course.
8. A grace and favour of Allah. And Allah is Knowing, Wise.
9. And if two groups of the Muslims fight each other, then
make peace between them, but if one of them commits excessiveness
against the other, then fight the one that has committed excessiveness
till it reverts to the command of Allah. Then if it reverts
rectify between them with justice and do justice. Verily Allah
loves the equitable.
10. Muslims are brothers, therefore make peace between the
two brothers and fear Allah that the mercy may be shown to you.
11. 'O believers! Let not the men scoff at the men, perchance
they may be better than those who scoff, and nor the women at
other women, perchance that they may be better than those women
who scoff, and do not taunt one another and nor call one another
by nick-names. What a bad name is, to be called a disobedient
after being a Muslim, and those who repent not, they are the
unjust.
12. 'O believers! Avoid most suspicions, verily some suspicion
is a sin and do not look out for faults and do not backbite
one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead
brother? You would abominate it. And fear Allah, Verily Allah
is Oft Returning, Merciful.
13. 'O people! We created you from one man and one woman
and made you branches and tribes that you may recognize one
another. Undoubtedly, the most respected among you in the sight
of Allah is he who is more pious, verily, Allah is knowing,
Aware.
14. The villagers said 'we have believed'. Say, you, 'you
believed not, yes, you rather say, we have surrendered', for
the belief has not yet entered in your hearts. But if you shall
obey Allah ends His Messenger, He will not make you to lose
anything of your works. Surely, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
15. The believers are only those who have believed in Allah
and His Messenger and then, have never doubted and have struggled
with their possession and their persons in the way of Allah.
It is they who are truthful.
16. Say you, 'do you tell Allah your religion? And Allah
knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth.
And Allah knows everything.
17. 'O beloved (prophet)! They take it as a favour to you
that they have become Muslims. Say you, 'do not place the favour
of your Islam on me; but rather Allah confers a favour upon
you in that He has guided you to Islam, if you are truthful.
18. Undoubtedly, Allah knows the unseen of the heaven and
of the earth, and Allah is seeing your works.
