Sura 49 ( 1-18)Al-Hujurat”

(The Chambers)

• 1.

Believers do not be forward in the

presence of Allah and His Apostle.

Have fear of Allah: He hears all and

knows all.

• 2:

Believers, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud when speaking to him you

do to one another, lest your labours should

come to nothing, without your knowledge.

• 3:

Those who speak softly in the presence of Allah’s

Apostle are the men whose hearts Allah has tested for piety. They

shall receive forgiveness and a rich reward.

• 4.

Those who call out to you whilst you

are in your chambers, most

them lacking understanding.

• 5.

If they had waited until you went out to them, it would have been better

for them. But Allah is forgiving and

merciful.

• 6.

Believers, if an evil-doer brings you a piece of

news inquire first into its truth, lest you should

wrong others unwittingly and repent of what you have done.

• 7.Know that Allah’s apostle is among

you. If he were to obey you in many matters, you would surely fall into you into distress. But

Allah has endeared the Faith to you. And beautified it in your

hearts, making unbelief, wrongdoing, and disobedient

abhorrent to you. Such are those who are rightly guided

•8. A grace and favour from

Allah. Allah is wise and All

knowing.

• 9.

If two parties of believers take up arms against each other,

make peace between them. If either commits aggression

against the other, fight against the aggressors till they submit to Allah’s judgment. When they

submit, make peace between them in equity and justice, Allah loves the equitable.

• 10.

The believers are brethren. Make peace among your brethren

and fear Allah, so that you may be

shown mercy.

• 11.Believers, let no man

mock another man, who may perhaps who may perhaps be better then herself. Do not defame

one another, nor call one another by nicknames. It

is an evil things to be called by bad names after embracing the true faith. Those that do not repent

are wrongdoers.

• 12.Believers, avoid most of

suspicion, for in some cases Suspicion is a

crime. Donot spy (on one another), nor backbite one another. Would any

of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Surely you would loathe it. Have fear of Allah. He

is Forgiving and Merciful.

• 13.Men, we have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that you might get to

know one another. The noblest of you in Allah’

sight is the most righteous of you. Allah

is wise and All-knowing.

• 14.

The Arabs of the desert declare:

‘ We believe.’ Say: ‘You do not.’ Rather say: We profess Islam, for faith has not yet found its

way into your hearts. If you obey Allah and His

Apostle, he will not diminish a thing from (the rewards) of your

labours. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

• 15.

The true believers are those who have faith in Allah and His apostle and

never doubt; and who fight for His cause with their

wealth and persons. Such are the truthful ones.

• 16.

Say “ Would you tell Allah of your religion,

When Allah knows what the heavens and the earth contain? He has knowledge of all

things.”

• 17.They regard it as a

favour to you that they embraced Islam. Say: “ In accepting Islam you have confered on me no favour. It was Allah who

bestowed a favour on you in guiding you to the true faith. Admit

this, if you are men of truth.

• 18.

Allah knows all that is hidden in the heavens and the earth. He is

watching over all your actions.”
