يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاءٌ مِّن نِّسَاءٍ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّ ۖ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ ۖ بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ ۚ وَمَن لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ ١١

O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zalimun (wrong-doers, etc.).

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا

O you who believe!

يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰ

Let not a group scoff at another group,

أَن يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا

it may be that the latter are better than the former;

نِسَاءٌ مِّن نِّسَاءٍ عَسَىٰ

nor let (some) women scoff at other women,

أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّ ۖ وَلَا

it may be that the latter are better than the former,

تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا

nor defame one another,

تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ ۖ بِئْسَ

nor insult one another by nicknames.

الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ ۚ وَمَن

How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith

لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ

And whosoever does not repent,

هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

then such are indeed Zalimun (wrong-doers, etc.).

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٢

O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا

O you who believe!

كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ

Avoid much suspicions,

indeed some suspicions are sins.

تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا

And spy not,

يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ

neither backbite one another.

أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ

Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother?

وَاتَّقُوا

You would hate it (so hate backbiting).

اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ

And fear Allah.

اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ ١٣

O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaqun (pious - see V. 2:2). Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
