49:1 O' believers! Do not proceed (in any matter) before (a decree from) Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). And fear Allah. Surely Allah is All Hearing, All Knowing. 

49:2 O believers! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), nor speak aloud when talking to him as you speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds should come to nothing while you do not even perceive it. 

49:3 Indeed, those who lower their voices in the presence of Allah’s Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) are the ones whose hearts Allah has refined for righteousness.   They will have forgiveness and a great reward. 

49:4 Surely! Those who call you  from behind the residences, most of them have no common sense.

49:5 If only they had patience until you could come out to them, it would certainly be better for them. Allah is All Forgiving, Most Merciful. 

49:6 O' believers, if an evildoer brings you any news, verify (it) so you do not harm people unknowingly, becoming regretful for what you have done.

49:7 And know that Allah’s Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) is among you. If he were to follow you in most affairs, you would certainly be in trouble. Allah has endeared this faith to you and beautified it in your hearts, making unbelief, wrongdoing, and disobedience abhorrent to you. It is they who are rightly guided. 

49:8 (This is) a bounty and a blessing from Allah. And Allah is All Knowing, All Wise.  

49:9 And if two groups of believers fight with each other, make peace between them. But if one of them transgresses against the other, then fight against the transgressing group until they (are willing to) submit to the rule of Allah. If they do so, then make peace between both (groups) in all fairness and act justly.  Surely Allah loves those who uphold justice.  

49:10 The believers are brothers (in Islam). So make reconciliation between your brothers and fear Allah, so that you may receive mercy.  

49:11 O'Believers, (make sure that) no men shall ridicule others, for they may be better than them. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than them. Nor shall you slander one another, nor shall you call each other (by funny/insulting) names. How bad it is to be called disobedient after accepting faith! Those who do not repent of this behavior are unjust.  

49:12 O' believers! Avoid many assumptions, (for) indeed, some assumptions are sinful. And do not spy, nor backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of their dead brother?  You would despise that! And fear Allah. Surely, Allah is the one who Accepts repentance, and is Merciful. 

49:13 O' Mankind! Surely We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Surely, the most honorable of you with Allah is the most pious of you.  Surely, Allah is All Knowing, All Aware.

49:14 (Some of) the nomadic Arabs say, 'We believe.' Say, (O Prophet  ﷺ), 'You have not believed. But say, 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts. But if you obey Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) (wholeheartedly), He will not discount anything from (the reward of) your deeds. Allah is truly All Forgiving, Most Merciful.

49:15 The believers are those who believe in Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), leave all doubts behind, and strive with their wealth and their persons for Allah's cause. Those are the ones who are true to their word.

49:16 (O' Prophet  ﷺ) say to those who claim to have believed : 'Do you apprise Allah of your religion?  Whereas, Allah knows all that is in the heavens and the earth and He has full knowledge of everything.'

49:17 They consider 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 faith, if you are truly sincere.'

49:18 Surely Allah knows the unseen of the heavens and earth. And Allah is All Seeing of what you do.'
