وَإِن طَآئِفَتَانِ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٱقۡتَتَلُواْ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ فَإِنۢ بَغَتۡ إِحۡدَىٰهُمَا عَلَى ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ فَقَٰتِلُواْ ٱلَّتِي تَبۡغِي حَتَّىٰ تَفِيٓءَ إِلَىٰٓ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِۚ فَإِن فَآءَتۡ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَهُمَا بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَأَقۡسِطُوٓاْۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُقۡسِطِينَ 9

9 If two groups of believers happen to fight, then make peace between them (by eliminating the cause of the fight). However, if one group continues to wrong the other unfairly, then (all of) you fight against this group till it complies with the Command of Allah. Then if it complies, make reconciliation between them justly (i.e. simply  stopping the fight is not enough. Make them meet each other and advise them to avoid any future disputes). And judge with justice (let not any personal feelings influence your judgement). Indeed, Allah loves those who are just.

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ إِخۡوَةٞ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ أَخَوَيۡكُمۡۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ 10

10 Indeed, believers are brothers (in Islam i.e. they have spiritual and physical relation). Hence, make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah so that (His) Mercy be showered on you.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا يَسۡخَرۡ قَوۡمٞ مِّن قَوۡمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُواْ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا نِسَآءٞ مِّن نِّسَآءٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُنَّۖ وَلَا تَلۡمِزُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَلَا تَنَابَزُواْ بِٱلۡأَلۡقَٰبِۖ بِئۡسَ ٱلِٱسۡمُ ٱلۡفُسُوقُ بَعۡدَ ٱلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَتُبۡ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ 11

11 O you who believe! Men should not mock other men. Maybe the one you mocked is closer to Allah than you (then why should you put him down). And women should not mock other women. Maybe the one she mocked is closer to Allah than her (then why should you put her down). Don’t defame yourself. (Note the eloquence of the Quran here. If you defame others, they will defame you. Hence, you are actually defaming yourself). And don’t give nicknames to others to tease them. It is a terrible thing to insult your brother after having Faith. And whosoever does not repent, they are the wrong-doers.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱجۡتَنِبُواْ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعۡضَ ٱلظَّنِّ إِثۡمٞۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُواْ وَلَا يَغۡتَب بَّعۡضُكُم بَعۡضًاۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمۡ أَن يَأۡكُلَ لَحۡمَ أَخِيهِ مَيۡتٗا فَكَرِهۡتُمُوهُۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابٞ رَّحِيمٞ 12

12 O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion. Indeed, some sus--picions are sins. Don’t spy (to find others’ faults). Don’t backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? (Obviously) you will hate it. (Back-biting a brother is a similar thing). And fear Allah (quit back-biting and repent). Indeed, Allah accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٖ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ شُعُوبٗا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ أَكۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَىٰكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٞ 13

13 O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female [i.e. Adam ( peace be upon him )and Eve (peace be upon him ) ] (in this respect all people are equal). (The difference between the people is that) We made you into nations and (each nation has) tribes for your identification (there is lot of wisdom in it but it does not mean that you should act arrogantly to one another). Indeed, the most honourable from you with Allah is that (believer) who is the most pious among you. Allah is All-Knowing, Well-Acquainted with all things (Hence, don’t brag about your lineage or nationality).

۞قَالَتِ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابُ ءَامَنَّاۖ قُل لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُواْ وَلَٰكِن قُولُوٓاْ أَسۡلَمۡنَا وَلَمَّا يَدۡخُلِ ٱلۡإِيمَٰنُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمۡۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ لَا يَلِتۡكُم مِّنۡ أَعۡمَٰلِكُمۡ شَيۡ‍ًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ 14

14 Some villagers say: “We believe.” Say (to them): “You have not believed (since belief means to testify by heart). You (the villagers) may say: “We have embraced Islam (i.e. we quit the opposition and have surrendered).” And Faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) , Allah will not decrease the reward of your deeds even a little bit. Allah is Very-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَرۡتَابُواْ وَجَٰهَدُواْ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهِمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلصَّٰدِقُونَ 15

15 Indeed, the (sincere) believers are those who believe in Allah and His Mes-senger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)  and do not doubt about it (throughout their lives) and strive hard with their wealth and lives in the Cause of Allah. They are the truthful (in their claim for true Belief).

قُلۡ أَتُعَلِّمُونَ ٱللَّهَ بِدِينِكُمۡ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ 16

16 Say (to the villagers): “Are you trying to inform Allah about your religion while Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and in the earth?” And Allah is All-Knower of everything.

يَمُنُّونَ عَلَيۡكَ أَنۡ أَسۡلَمُواْۖ قُل لَّا تَمُنُّواْ عَلَيَّ إِسۡلَٰمَكُمۖ بَلِ ٱللَّهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَنۡ هَدَىٰكُمۡ لِلۡإِيمَٰنِ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ 17

17 They (the villagers) consider it a favour to you that they have embraced Is-lam (which is rude-ness). Say: “Don’t consider your Islam as a favour to me. In fact, Allah has done a favour to you Who guided you to the Faith if you care to speak the truth.”

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ غَيۡبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ 18

18 Indeed, Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is All-Seer of what you do.

قٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ٱلۡمَجِيدِ 1

1 Qaf. (Only Allah knows its meanings) By the Glorious Quran. (i.e. which is more esteemed than other Books).

بَلۡ عَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٌ 2

2 In fact, they wonder that a war-ner has come to them from among them-selves. So the dis-believers say: “This is a strange thing,

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗاۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجۡعُۢ بَعِيدٞ 3

3 When we are dead and have been reduced to dust (shall we be raised again?) This return is beyond common sense.”

قَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظُۢ 4

4 (Allah’s knowledge is  supreme) Verily, We know what earth eats of their bodies (bit by bit in the grave). And with Us is a Book which records and pre-serves everything.

بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيٓ أَمۡرٖ مَّرِيجٍ 5

5 In fact, they had denied the truth (the Quran) when it had reached them. So they are in a confused state of mind (sometimes wonder, sometimes deny and cannot differentiate between truth and falsehood).

أَفَلَمۡ يَنظُرُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوۡقَهُمۡ كَيۡفَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٖ 6

6 Have they not looked at the sky above them, how We have made it (high and big) and adorned it (with stars) and there is no rift in it (hence, it is very stable)?

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجِۢ بَهِيجٖ 7

7 And We have spread out the earth and have placed mountains on it firmly and produced in it every kind of lovely vegetations.

تَبۡصِرَةٗ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبۡدٖ مُّنِيبٖ 8

8 (Which are) for the reflection and as a reminder (of the Power of Allah) for every slave who turns to Allah in repentance

وَنَزَّلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ مُّبَٰرَكٗا فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٖ وَحَبَّ ٱلۡحَصِيدِ 9

9 And We send down blessed water (rain) from the sky, so We produce with it gardens and grain (from many kinds of crops) which are reaped.

وَٱلنَّخۡلَ بَاسِقَٰتٖ لَّهَا طَلۡعٞ نَّضِيدٞ 10

10 And very tall palm trees with new tender fruits packed one over the other,
