Section 2

11.
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la yaskhar qawmun min qawmin AAasa an yakoonoo khayran minhum wala nisaon min nisa-in AAasa an yakunna khayran minhunna wala talmizoo anfusakum wala tanabazoo biAl-alqabi bi/sa al-ismu alfusooqu baAAda al-eemani waman lam yatub faola-ika humu aL"thth"alimoonA

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.
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ijtaniboo katheeran mina aL"thth"anni inna baAAda aL"thth"anni ithmun wala tajassasoo wala yaghtab baAAdukum baAAdan ayuhibbu ahadukum an ya/kula lahma akheehi maytan fakarihtumoohu waIttaqoo Allaha inna Allaha tawwabun raheemUn

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,

Nor speak ill of 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 God:


For God is Oft-Returning,

Most Merciful.

13.
Ya ayyuha aLnnasu inna khalaqnakum min thakarin waontha wajaAAalnakum shuAAooban waqaba-ila litaAAarafoo inna akramakum AAinda Allahi atqakum inna Allaha AAaleemun khabeerUn

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 God

Is (he who is) the most

Righteous of you.

And God has full knowledge

And is well acquainted

(With all things).

14.
Qalati al-aAArabu amanna qul lam tu/minoo walakin qooloo aslamna walamma yadkhuli al-eemanu fee quloobikum wa-in tuteeAAoo Allaha warasoolahu la yalitkum min aAAmalikum shay-an inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemUn

14.
The desert Arabs say,

"We believe." Say, 'Ye

Have no faith; but ye

(Only) say, "We have submitted

Our wills to God,"

For not yet has Faith

Entered your hearts.

But if ye obey God

And His Apostle, He

Will not belittle aught

Of your deeds: for God

Is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

15. Innama almu/minoona allatheena amanoo biAllahi warasoolihi thumma lam yartaboo wajahadoo bi-amwalihim waanfusihim fee sabeeli Allahi ola-ika humu aLssadiqoonA

15.
Only those are Believers

Who have believed in God

And His Apostle, and have

Never since doubted, but

Have striven with their

Belongings and their persons

In the Cause of God:


Such are the sincere ones.

16.
Qul atuAAallimoona Allaha bideenikum waAllahu yaAAlamu ma fee aLssamawati wama fee al-ardi waAllahu bikulli shay-in AAaleemUn

16.
Say: "What! Will ye

Instruct God about your

Religion? But God knows

All that is in the heavens

And on earth: He has

Full knowledge of all things.

17.
Yamunnoona AAalayka an aslamoo qul la tamunnoo AAalayya islamakum bali Allahu yamunnu AAalaykum an hadakum lil-eemani in kuntum sadiqeenA

17.
They impress on thee

As favour that they

Have embraced Islam.

Say, "Count not your Islam

As a favour upon me:


Nay, God has conferred

A favour upon you

That He has guided you

To the Faith, if ye

Be true and sincere.

18.
Inna Allaha yaAAlamu ghayba aLssamawati waAl-ardi waAllahu baseerun bima taAAmaloonA

18.
\"Verily God knows

The secrets of the heavens

And the earth: and God

Sees well all

That ye do."
