49.1 . O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and His messenger , and keep your duty to Allah . Lo! Allah is Hearer , Knower .

49.2 . O ye who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of the Prophet , nor shout when speaking to him as ye shout one to another , lest your works be rendered vain while ye perceive not .

49.3 . Lo! they who subdue their voices in the presence of the messenger of Allah , those are they whose hearts Allah hath proven unto righteousness . Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward .

49.4 . Lo! those who call thee from behind the private apartment , most of them have no sense .

49.5 . And if they had patience till thou camest forth unto them , it had been better for them . And Allah is Forgiving , Merciful .

49.6 . O ye who believe! If an evil liver bring you tidings , verify it , lest ye smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent of what ye did .

49.7 . And know that the messenger of Allah is among you . If he were to obey you in much of the government , ye would surely be in trouble ; but Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in your hearts , and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful unto you . Such are they who are rightly guided .

49.8 . ( It is ) a bounty and a grace from Allah ; and Allah is Knower , Wise .

49.9 . And if two parties of believers fall to fighting , then make peace between them . And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other , fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah ; then , if it return , make peace between them justly , and act equitably . Lo! Allah loveth the equitable .

49.10 . The believers are naught else than brothers . Therefore make peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that haply ye may obtain mercy .

49.11 . O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they ( are ) , nor let women ( deride ) women who may be better than they are ; neither defame one another , nor insult one another by nicknames . Bad is the name of lewdness after faith . And whoso turneth not in repentance , such are evil doers .

49.12 . O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion ; for lo! some suspicion is a crime . And spy not , neither backbite one another . Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Ye abhor that ( so abhor the other ) ! And keep your duty ( to Allah ) . Lo! Allah is Relenting , Merciful .

49.13 . O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female , and have made nations and tribes that ye may know one another . Lo! the noblest of you , in the sight of Allah , is the best in conduct . Lo! Allah is Knower , Aware .

49.14 . The wandering Arabs say : We believe . Say ( unto them , O Muhammad ) : Ye believe not , but rather say submit , ' for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts . Yet , if ye obey Allah and His messenger , He will not withhold from you aught of ( the reward of ) your deeds . Lo! Allah is Forgiving , Merciful .

49.15 . The ( true ) believers are those only who believe in Allah and His messenger and afterward doubt not , but strive with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah . Such are the sincere .

49.16 . Say ( unto them , O Muhammad ) : Would ye teach Allah your religion , when Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth , and Allah is Aware of all things?

49.17 . They make it favor unto thee ( Muhammad ) that they have surrendered ( unto Him ) . Say : Deem not your Surrender a favor unto me ; nay , but Allah doth confer a favor on you , inasmuch as He hath led you to the Faith , if ye are earnest .

49.18 . Lo! Allah knoweth the Unseen of the heavens and the earth . And Allah is Seer of what ye do .
