them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.
049.004 Those who shout out to thee from without the inner apartments - most of them lack understanding.
049.005 If only they had patience until thou couldst come out to them, it would be best for them: but God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
049.006 O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people
unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.
049.007 And know that among you is God's Apostle: were he, in many matters, to follow your (wishes), ye would
certainly fall into misfortune: But God has endeared the Faith to you, and has made it beautiful in your hearts, and He
has made hateful to you Unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion: such indeed are those who walk in righteousness;-
049.008 A Grace and Favour from God; and God is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
049.009 If two parties among the Believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them: but if one of them
transgresses
049.010 The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending)
brothers; and fear God, that ye may receive Mercy.
049.011 O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the
(former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor
be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness,
(to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.
049.012 O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not
on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor
it...But fear God: For God is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
049.013 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes,
that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God
is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
049.014 The desert Arabs say, "We believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only)say, 'We have submitted our wills to
God,' For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye obey God and His Apostle, He will not belittle aught of your
deeds: for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
049.015 Only those are Believers who have believed in God and His Apostle, and have never since doubted, but have
striven with their belongings and their persons in the Cause of God: Such are the sincere ones, Were We then weary
with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
049.016 Say: "What! Will ye instruct God about your religion? But God knows all that is in the heavens and on earth:
He has full knowledge of all things.
049.017 They impress on thee as a favour that they have embraced Islam. Say, "Count not your Islam as a favour upon
me: Nay, God has conferred a favour upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if ye be true and sincere.
049.018 "Verily God knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth: and God Sees well all that ye do."

050.001 Qaf: By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art God's Apostle).
050.002 But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This
is a wonderful thing!
050.003 "What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our
understanding)."
050.004 We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us is a record guarding (the full account).
050.005 But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in a confused state.
050.006 Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
050.007 And the earth- We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced therein every
kind of beautiful growth (in pairs)-
050.008 To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to God).
050.009 And We send down from the sky rain charted with blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and Grain for
