Ayah 1

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُقَدِّمُوْا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tuqaddimū baina yadayillāhi wa rasūlihī wattaqullāh(a), innallāha samī‘un ‘alīm(un).

O you who have believed, do not put [yourselves] before Allāh and His Messenger but fear Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

Ayah 2

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَرْفَعُوْٓا اَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوْا لَهٗ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ اَنْ تَحْبَطَ اَعْمَالُكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُوْنَ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tarfa‘ū aṣwātakum fauqa ṣautin-nabiyyi wa lā tajharū lahū bil-qauli kajahri ba‘ḍikum liba‘ḍin an taḥbaṭa a‘mālukum wa antum lā tasy‘urūn(a).

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.

Ayah 3

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَغُضُّوْنَ اَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ امْتَحَنَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوْبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوٰىۗ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ عَظِيْمٌ

Innal-lażīna yaguḍḍūna aṣwātahum ‘inda rasūlillāhi ulā'ikal-lażīnamtaḥanallāhu qulūbahum lit-taqwā, lahum magfiratuw wa ajrun ‘aẓīm(un).

Indeed, those who lower their voices before the Messenger of Allāh - they are the ones whose hearts Allāh has tested for righteousness. For them is forgiveness and great reward.

Ayah 4

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُنَادُوْنَكَ مِنْ وَّرَاۤءِ الْحُجُرٰتِ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُوْنَ

Innal-lażīna yunādūnaka miw warā'il-ḥujurāti akṡaruhum lā ya‘qilūn(a).

Indeed, those who call you, [O Muḥammad], from behind the chambers - most of them do not use reason.

Ayah 5

وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوْا حَتّٰى تَخْرُجَ اِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ ۗوَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

Wa lau annahum ṣabarū ḥattā takhruja ilaihim lakāna khairal lahum, wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).

And if they had been patient until you [could] come out to them, it would have been better for them. But Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Ayah 6

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنْ جَاۤءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌۢ بِنَبَاٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوْٓا اَنْ تُصِيْبُوْا قَوْمًاۢ بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوْا عَلٰى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نٰدِمِيْنَ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū in jā'akum fāsiqum binaba'in fa tabayyanū an tuṣībū qaumam bijahālatin fa tuṣbiḥū ‘alā mā fa‘altum nādimīn(a).

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.

Ayah 7

وَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ فِيْكُمْ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ ۗ لَوْ يُطِيْعُكُمْ فِيْ كَثِيْرٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِ لَعَنِتُّمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ حَبَّبَ اِلَيْكُمُ الْاِيْمَانَ وَزَيَّنَهٗ فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَكَرَّهَ اِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوْقَ وَالْعِصْيَانَ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الرّٰشِدُوْنَۙ

Wa‘lamū anna fīkum rasūlallāh(i), lau yuṭī‘ukum fī kaṡīrim minal-amri la‘anittum wa lākinnallāha ḥabbaba ilaikumul-īmāna wa zayyanahū fī qulūbikum wa karraha ilaikumul-kufra wal-fusūqa wal-‘iṣyān(a), ulā'ika humur-rāsyidūn(a).

And know that among you is the Messenger of Allāh. If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would be in difficulty, but Allāh 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.

Ayah 8

فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَنِعْمَةً ۗوَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ

Faḍlam minallāhi wa ni‘mah(tan), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

[It is] as bounty from Allāh and favor. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.

Ayah 9

وَاِنْ طَاۤىِٕفَتٰنِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ اقْتَتَلُوْا فَاَصْلِحُوْا بَيْنَهُمَاۚ فَاِنْۢ بَغَتْ اِحْدٰىهُمَا عَلَى الْاُخْرٰى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِيْ تَبْغِيْ حَتّٰى تَفِيْۤءَ اِلٰٓى اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ ۖفَاِنْ فَاۤءَتْ فَاَصْلِحُوْا بَيْنَهُمَا بِالْعَدْلِ وَاَقْسِطُوْا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِيْنَ

Wa in ṭā'ifatāni minal-mu'minīnaqtatalū fa aṣliḥū bainahumā, fa im bagat iḥdāhumā ‘alal-ukhrā fa qātilul-latī tabgī ḥattā tafī'a ilā amrillāh(i), fa in fā'at fa aṣliḥū bainahumā bil-‘adli wa aqsiṭū, innallāha yuḥibbul-muqsiṭīn(a).

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 Allāh. And if it returns, then make settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.

Ayah 10

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ اِخْوَةٌ فَاَصْلِحُوْا بَيْنَ اَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ ࣖ

Innamal-mu'minūna ikhwatun fa aṣliḥū baina akhawaikum wattaqullāha la‘allakum turḥamūn(a).

The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allāh that you may receive mercy.

Ayah 11

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِّنْ قَوْمٍ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنُوْا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاۤءٌ مِّنْ نِّسَاۤءٍ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّۚ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوْٓا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوْا بِالْاَلْقَابِۗ بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوْقُ بَعْدَ الْاِيْمَانِۚ وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā yaskhar qaumum min qaumin ‘asā ay yakūnū khairam minhum wa lā nisā'um min nisā'in ‘asā ay yakunna khairam minhunn(a), wa lā talmizū anfusakum wa lā tanābazū bil-alqāb(i), bi'salismul-fusūqu ba‘dal-īmān(i), wa mal lam yatub fa ulā'ika humuẓ-ẓālimūn(a).

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 [i.e., mention] of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

Ayah 12

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوْا كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّۖ اِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ اِثْمٌ وَّلَا تَجَسَّسُوْا وَلَا يَغْتَبْ بَّعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًاۗ اَيُحِبُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ يَّأْكُلَ لَحْمَ اَخِيْهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوْهُۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanujtanibū kaṡīram minaẓ-ẓann(i), inna ba‘daẓ-ẓanni iṡmuw wa lā tajassasū wa lā yagtab ba‘ḍukum ba‘ḍā(n), ayuḥibbu aḥadukum ay ya'kula laḥma akhīhi maitan fa karihtumūh(u), wattaqullāh(a), innallāha tawwābur raḥīm(un).

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 Allāh; indeed, Allāh is Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.

Ayah 13

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ ذَكَرٍ وَّاُنْثٰى وَجَعَلْنٰكُمْ شُعُوْبًا وَّقَبَاۤىِٕلَ لِتَعَارَفُوْا ۚ اِنَّ اَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اَتْقٰىكُمْ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ خَبِيْرٌ

Yā ayyuhan-nāsu innā khalaqnākum min żakariw wa unṡā wa ja‘alnākum syu‘ūbaw wa qabā'ila lita‘ārafū, inna akramakum ‘indallāhi atqākum, innallāha ‘alīmun khabīr(un).

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 Allāh is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Aware.

Ayah 14

۞ قَالَتِ الْاَعْرَابُ اٰمَنَّا ۗ قُلْ لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوْا وَلٰكِنْ قُوْلُوْٓا اَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْاِيْمَانُ فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ ۗوَاِنْ تُطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ لَا يَلِتْكُمْ مِّنْ اَعْمَالِكُمْ شَيْـًٔا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

Qālatil-a‘rābu āmannā, qul lam tu'minū wa lākin qūlū aslamnā wa lammā yadkhulil-īmānu fī qulūbikum, wa in tuṭī‘ullāha wa rasūlahū lā yalitkum min a‘mālikum syai'ā(n), innallāha gafūrur raḥīm(un).

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 Allāh and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."

Ayah 15

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْتَابُوْا وَجَاهَدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الصّٰدِقُوْنَ

Innamal-mu'minūnal-lażīna āmanū billāhi wa rasūlihī ṡumma lam yartābū wa jāhadū bi'amwālihim wa anfusihim fī sabīlillāh(i), ulā'ika humuṣ-ṣādiqūn(a).

The believers are only the ones who have believed in Allāh and His Messenger and then doubt not but strive with their properties and their lives in the cause of Allāh. It is those who are the truthful.

Ayah 16

قُلْ اَتُعَلِّمُوْنَ اللّٰهَ بِدِيْنِكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ

Qul atu‘alimūnallāha bidīnikum, wallāhu ya‘lamu mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wallāhu bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

Say, "Would you acquaint Allāh with your religion while Allāh knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and Allāh is Knowing of all things?"

Ayah 17

يَمُنُّوْنَ عَلَيْكَ اَنْ اَسْلَمُوْا ۗ قُلْ لَّا تَمُنُّوْا عَلَيَّ اِسْلَامَكُمْ ۚبَلِ اللّٰهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ اَنْ هَدٰىكُمْ لِلْاِيْمَانِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

Yamunnūna ‘alaika an aslamū, qul lā tamunnū ‘alayya islāmakum, balillāhu yamunnu ‘alaikum an hadākum lil-īmāni in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).

They consider it a favor to you that they have accepted Islām. Say, "Do not consider your Islām a favor to me. Rather, Allāh has conferred favor upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if you should be truthful."

Ayah 18

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَاللّٰهُ بَصِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ

Innallāha ya‘lamu gaibas-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wallāhu baṣīrum bimā ta‘malūn(a).

Indeed, Allāh knows the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh is Seeing of what you do.
