The Qur'an (Rodwell tr) : Sura 49 - The Apartments

SURA XLIX (49) - THE APARTMENTS (Medina - 18 Verses) (CXII - 468)

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

O Believers! enter not upon any affair ere God and His Apostle permit

you; and fear ye God: for God Heareth, Knoweth.

O Believers! raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet,

neither speak loud to him as ye speak loud one to another, lest your works come

to nought, and ye unaware of it.

They who lower their voices in the presence of the Apostle of God, are

the persons whose hearts God hath inclined to piety. Forgiveness shall be

theirs and a rich reward.

They who call out to thee while thou art within thine apartments, have

most of them no right perception of what is due to thee.

But if they wait patiently till thou come forth to them, it were far

better for them. But God is Indulgent, Merciful.

O Believers! if any bad man come to you with news, clear it up at once,

lest through ignorance ye harm others, and speedily have to repent of what ye

have done.

And know that an Apostle of God is among you! should he give way to you

in many matters ye would certainly become guilty of a crime. But God hath

endeared the faith to you, and hath given it favour in your hearts, and hath

made unbelief, and wickedness, and disobedience hateful to you. Such are they

who pursue a right course.

Through the bounty and grace which is from God: and God is Knowing,

Wise.

If two bodies of the faithful are at war, then make ye peace between

them: and if the one of them wrong the other, fight against that part which

doth the wrong, until they come back to the precepts of God: if they come back,

make peace between them with fairness, and act impartially; God loveth those

who act with impartiality.

49:10 Only the faithful are brethren; wherefore make peace between your

brethren; and fear God, that ye may obtain mercy.

O Believers! let not men laugh men to scorn who haply may be better

than themselves; neither let women laugh women to scorn who may haply be better

than themselves! Neither defame one another, nor call one another by

nicknames. Bad is it to be called wicked after having professed the faith:

and whoso repent not of this are doers of wrong.

O Believers! avoid frequent suspicions, for some suspicions are a crime;

and pry not: neither let the one of you traduce another in his absence. Would

any one of you like to eat the flesh of his death brother? Surely ye would

loathe it. And fear ye God: for God is Ready to turn, Merciful.

O men! verily, we have created you of a male and a female; and we have

divided you into peoples and tribes that ye might have knowledge one of

another. Truly, the most worthy of honour in the sight of God is he who

feareth Him most. Verily, God is Knowing, Cognisant.

The Arabs of the desert say, "We believe." Say thou: Ye believe not;

but rather say, "We profess Islam;" for the faith hath not yet found its way

into your hearts. But if ye obey God and His Apostle, he will not allow you to

lose any of your actions: for God is Indulgent, Merciful.

The true believers are those only who believe in God and His Apostle,

and afterwards doubt not; and who contend with their substance and their

persons on the path of God. These are the sincere.

Say: Will ye teach God about your religion? when God knoweth whatever

is in the Heavens and on the Earth: yea, God hath knowledge of all things.

They taunt thee with their having embraced Islam. Say: Taunt me not

with your having embraced Islam: God rather taunteth you with His having guided

you to the faith: acknowledge this if ye are sincere.

Verily, God knoweth the secrets of the Heavens and of the Earth: and God

beholdeth what ye do.
