[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 you 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 "We 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 a favour unto thee (Muhammad) that
they have surrendered (unto Him). Say: Deem not your Surrender a favour unto
me; but Allah doth confer a favour 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.
