Surah Al-Hujurat

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُقَدِّمُوْا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ ۝١

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tuqoddimū baina yadayillāhi wa rosūlihī wattaqullāh, innallāha samī‘un ‘alīm

1. O you who believe! Do not place your opinions above that of Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah. Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَرْفَعُوْٓا اَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوْا لَهٗ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ اَنْ تَحْبَطَ اَعْمَالُكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُوْنَ ۝٢

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tarfa‘ū aṣwātakum fauqo ṣoutin-nabiyyi wa lā tajharū lahū bil-qouli kajahri ba‘ḍikum liba‘ḍin an taḥbaṭo a‘mālukum wa antum lā tasy‘urūn

2. O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, and do not speak loudly to him, as you speak loudly to one another, lest your works be in vain without you realizing.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَغُضُّوْنَ اَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ امْتَحَنَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوْبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوٰىۗ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ عَظِيْمٌ ۝٣

Innal-lażīna yaghuḍḍūna aṣwātahum ‘inda rosūlillāhi ulā-ikal-lażīnamtaḥanallāhu qulūbahum lit-taqwā, lahum maghfirotuw wa ajrun ‘aẓīm

3. Those who lower their voices before Allah’s Messenger—those are they whose hearts Allah has tested for piety. They will have forgiveness and a great reward.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُنَادُوْنَكَ مِنْ وَّرَاۤءِ الْحُجُرٰتِ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُوْنَ ۝٤

Innal-lażīna yunādūnaka miw warō-il-ḥujurōti akṡaruhum lā ya‘qilūn

4. Those who call you from behind the chambers—most of them do not understand.

وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوْا حَتّٰى تَخْرُجَ اِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ ۗوَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ۝٥

Wa lau annahum ṣobarū ḥattā takhruja ilaihim lakāna khoirol lahum, wallāhu ghofūrur roḥīm

5. Had they remained patient until you came out to them, it would have been better for them. But Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنْ جَاۤءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌۢ بِنَبَاٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوْٓا اَنْ تُصِيْبُوْا قَوْمًاۢ بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوْا عَلٰى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نٰدِمِيْنَ ۝٦

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū in jā-akum fāsiqum binaba'in fa tabayyanū an tuṣībū qoumam bijahālatin fa tuṣbiḥū ‘alā mā fa‘altum nādimīn

6. O you who believe! If a troublemaker brings you any news, investigate, lest you harm people out of ignorance, and you become regretful for what you have done.

وَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ فِيْكُمْ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ ۗ لَوْ يُطِيْعُكُمْ فِيْ كَثِيْرٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِ لَعَنِتُّمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ حَبَّبَ اِلَيْكُمُ الْاِيْمَانَ وَزَيَّنَهٗ فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَكَرَّهَ اِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوْقَ وَالْعِصْيَانَ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الرّٰشِدُوْنَۙ ۝٧

Wa‘lamū anna fīkum rosūlallāh, lau yuṭī‘ukum fī kaṡīrim minal-amri la‘anittum wa lākinnallāha ḥabbaba ilaikumul-īmāna wa zayyanahū fī qulūbikum wa karroha ilaikumul-kufro wal-fusūqo wal-‘iṣyān, ulā-ika humur-rōsyidūn

7. And know that among you is the Messenger of Allah. Had he obeyed you in many things, you would have suffered hardship. But Allah has given you the love of faith, and adorned it in your hearts, and made disbelief, mischief, and rebellion hateful to you. These are the rightly guided.

فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَنِعْمَةً ۗوَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ ۝٨

Faḍlam minallāhi wa ni‘mah, wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm

8. A grace and favor from Allah. Allah is Knowing and Wise.

وَاِنْ طَاۤىِٕفَتٰنِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ اقْتَتَلُوْا فَاَصْلِحُوْا بَيْنَهُمَاۚ فَاِنْۢ بَغَتْ اِحْدٰىهُمَا عَلَى الْاُخْرٰى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِيْ تَبْغِيْ حَتّٰى تَفِيْۤءَ اِلٰٓى اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ ۖفَاِنْ فَاۤءَتْ فَاَصْلِحُوْا بَيْنَهُمَا بِالْعَدْلِ وَاَقْسِطُوْا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِيْنَ ۝٩

Wa in ṭō-ifatāni minal-mu'minīnaqtatalū fa aṣliḥū bainahumā, fa im baghot iḥdāhumā ‘alal-ukhrō fa qōtilul-latī tabghī ḥattā tafī-a ilā amrillāh, fa in fā-at fa aṣliḥū bainahumā bil-‘adli wa aqsiṭū, innallāha yuḥibbul-muqsiṭīn

9. If two groups of believers fight each other, reconcile between them. But if one group aggresses against the other, fight the aggressing group until it complies with Allah’s command. Once it has complied, reconcile between them with justice, and be equitable. Allah loves the equitable.

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ اِخْوَةٌ فَاَصْلِحُوْا بَيْنَ اَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝١٠

Innamal-mu'minūna ikhwatun fa aṣliḥū baina akhowaikum wattaqullāha la‘allakum turḥamūn

10. The believers are brothers, so reconcile between your brothers, and remain conscious of Allah, so that you may receive mercy.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِّنْ قَوْمٍ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنُوْا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاۤءٌ مِّنْ نِّسَاۤءٍ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّۚ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوْٓا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوْا بِالْاَلْقَابِۗ بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوْقُ بَعْدَ الْاِيْمَانِۚ وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ۝١١

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā yaskhor qoumum min qoumin ‘asā ay yakūnū khoirom minhum wa lā nisā-um min nisā-in ‘asā ay yakunna khoirom minhunn, wa lā talmizū anfusakum wa lā tanābazū bil-alqōb, bi'salismul-fusūqu ba‘dal-īmān, wa mal lam yatub fa ulā-ika humuẓ-ẓōlimūn

11. O you who believe! No people shall ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you slander one another, nor shall you insult one another with names. Evil is the return to wickedness after having attained faith. Whoever does not repent—these are the wrongdoers.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوْا كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّۖ اِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ اِثْمٌ وَّلَا تَجَسَّسُوْا وَلَا يَغْتَبْ بَّعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًاۗ اَيُحِبُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ يَّأْكُلَ لَحْمَ اَخِيْهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوْهُۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ۝١٢

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanujtanibū kaṡīrom minaẓ-ẓonn, inna ba‘daẓ-ẓonni iṡmuw wa lā tajassasū wa lā yaghtab ba‘ḍukum ba‘ḍō, ayuḥibbu aḥadukum ay ya'kula laḥma akhīhi maitan fa karihtumūh, wattaqullāh, innallāha tawwābur roḥīm

12. O you who believe! Avoid most suspicion—some suspicion is sinful. And do not spy on one another, nor backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it. So remain mindful of Allah. Allah is Most Relenting, Most Merciful.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ ذَكَرٍ وَّاُنْثٰى وَجَعَلْنٰكُمْ شُعُوْبًا وَّقَبَاۤىِٕلَ لِتَعَارَفُوْا ۚ اِنَّ اَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اَتْقٰىكُمْ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ خَبِيْرٌ ۝١٣

Yā ayyuhan-nāsu innā kholaqnākum min żakariw wa unṡā wa ja‘alnākum syu‘ūbaw wa qobā-ila lita‘ārofū, inna akromakum ‘indallāhi atqōkum, innallāha ‘alīmun khobīr

13. O people! We created you from a male and a female, and made you races and tribes, that you may know one another. The best among you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous. Allah is All-Knowing, Well-Experienced.

قَالَتِ الْاَعْرَابُ اٰمَنَّا ۗ قُلْ لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوْا وَلٰكِنْ قُوْلُوْٓا اَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْاِيْمَانُ فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ ۗوَاِنْ تُطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ لَا يَلِتْكُمْ مِّنْ اَعْمَالِكُمْ شَيْـًٔا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ۝١٤

Qōlatil-a‘rōbu āmannā, qul lam tu'minū wa lākin qūlū aslamnā wa lammā yadkhulil-īmānu fī qulūbikum, wa in tuṭī‘ullāha wa rosūlahū lā yalitkum min a‘mālikum syai'ā, innallāha ghofūrur roḥīm

14. The Desert-Arabs say, “We have believed.” Say, “You have not believed; but say, ‘We have submitted,’ for faith has not yet entered into your hearts. But if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not diminish any of your deeds. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْتَابُوْا وَجَاهَدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الصّٰدِقُوْنَ ۝١٥

Innamal-mu'minūnal-lażīna āmanū billāhi wa rosūlihī ṡumma lam yartābū wa jāhadū bi'amwālihim wa anfusihim fī sabīlillāh, ulā-ika humuṣ-ṣōdiqūn

15. The believers are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, and then have not doubted, and strive for Allah’s cause with their wealth and their persons. These are the sincere.

قُلْ اَتُعَلِّمُوْنَ اللّٰهَ بِدِيْنِكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ ۝١٦

Qul atu‘alimūnallāha bidīnikum, wallāhu ya‘lamu mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ, wallāhu bikulli syai'in ‘alīm

16. Say, “Are you going to teach Allah about your religion, when Allah knows everything in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is aware of all things?”

يَمُنُّوْنَ عَلَيْكَ اَنْ اَسْلَمُوْا ۗ قُلْ لَّا تَمُنُّوْا عَلَيَّ اِسْلَامَكُمْ ۚبَلِ اللّٰهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ اَنْ هَدٰىكُمْ لِلْاِيْمَانِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝١٧

Yamunnūna ‘alaika an aslamū, qul lā tamunnū ‘alayya islāmakum, balillāhu yamunnu ‘alaikum an hadākum lil-īmāni in kuntum ṣōdiqīn

17. They regarded it a favor to you that they have submitted. Say, “Do not consider your submission a favor to me; it is Allah who has done you a favor by guiding you to the faith, if you are sincere.”

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَاللّٰهُ بَصِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ ۝١٨

Innallāha ya‘lamu ghoibas-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wallāhu baṣīrum bimā ta‘malūn

18. Allah knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Seeing of everything you do.
