 Background to the Revelation of Surah Al-Hujurat.

INTRODUCTION
Background to the Revelation of Surah Al-Hujurat.
(1)After the conquest of Makkah, many desert Arab tribes
(Bedouins) sent emissaries to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) to make
allegiance and accept islam.
(2)The Bedouins appeared unpolished in their manner of dress
and speech.
(3)They spoke loudly and in a manner which was disrespectful to
the prophet.
(4)Their approach to the Prophet displeased Allah.
(5) The Surah was revealed to reprimand them and to lay down
general code of behaviour for Muslims and for all people.
Surah Hujurat is the 49th surah of the Quran
that Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad in
the city of Medina, contains eighteen verses in
and due two sections. Hujurat is the plural of
Hujrah ‫)ُحجَر ة‬, )which means rooms or the
private apartment. Allah Almighty mentioned
some vital important ethics and rules of society
in this chapter.
 Verses and Translation
١ ‫َيٰٓـَأُّيَها ٱَّلِذ يَن َء اَم ُنو۟ا اَل ُتَقِّد ُم و۟ا َبْيَن َيَد ِى ٱِهَّلل َو َر ُسوِلِهۦۖ َو ٱَّتُقو۟ا ٱَهَّللۚ ِإَّن ٱَهَّلل َسِم يٌع َع ِل ٌۭمي‬
O believers! Do not proceed ˹in any matter˺ before ˹a decree from˺ Allah and His Messenger. And fear Allah.
Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

٢ ‫َيٰٓـَأُّيَها ٱَّلِذ يَن َء اَم ُنو۟ا اَل َتْر َفُع ٓو ۟ا َأْص َٰو َتُك ْم َفْو َق َص ْو ِت ٱلَّنِبِّى َو اَل َتْج َهُرو۟ا َل ۥُه ِبٱْلَقْو ِل َك َج ْهِر َبْع ِض ُك ْم ِلَبْع ٍض َأن َتْح َبَط َأْع َم ٰـ ُلُك ْم َو َأنُتْم اَل َتْش ُعُروَن‬
O believers! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak loudly to him as you do to one
another,1 or your deeds will become void while you are unaware.

٣ ‫إَّن ٱَّلِذ يَن َيُغ ُّض وَن َأْص َٰو َتُهْم ِع نَد َر ُسوِل ٱِهَّلل ُأ۟و َلٰٓـِئَك ٱَّلِذ يَن ٱْم َتَح َن ٱُهَّلل ُقُلوَبُهْم ِللَّتْقَو ٰى ۚ َلُهم َّم ْغ ِفَر ٌۭة َو َأْج ٌر َع ِظ يٌم‬
Indeed, those who lower their voices in the presence of Allah’s Messenger are the ones whose hearts Allah has
refined for righteousness. They will have forgiveness and a great reward.
٤ ‫ِإَّن ٱَّلِذ يَن ُيَناُد وَنَك ِم ن َو َر ٓاِء ٱْلُحُج َٰر ِت َأْك َثُر ُهْم اَل َيْع ِقُلوَن‬
Indeed, most of those who call out to you ˹O Prophet˺ from outside ˹your˺ private quarters have no understanding ˹of
manners˺
 ٥ ‫َو َلْو َأَّنُهْم َصَبُرو۟ا َح َّتٰى َتْخ ُر َج ِإَلْيِهْم َلَك اَن َخ ْيًۭر ا َّلُهْم ۚ َو ٱُهَّلل َغ ُفوٌۭر َّر ِح يٌۭم‬
Had they been patient until you could come out to them, it would have certainly been better for them. And Allah
is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
٦ ‫َفَتَبَّيُنٓو ۟ا َأن ُتِص يُبو۟ا َقْو ًۢم ا ِبَج َهٰـ َلٍۢة َفُتْص ِبُحو۟ا َع َلٰى َم ا َفَع ْلُتْم َنٰـ ِدِم يَن‬ ‫َيٰٓـَأُّيَها ٱَّلِذ يَن َء اَم ُنٓو ۟ا ِإن َج ٓاَء ُك ْم َفاِس ٌۢق ِبَنَبٍۢإ‬

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.

‫َو ٱْع َلُمٓو ۟ا َأَّن ِفيُك ْم َر ُسوَل ٱِهَّللۚ َلْو ُيِط يُع ُك ْم ِفى َك ِثيٍۢر ِّم َن ٱَأْلْم ِر َلَعِنُّتْم َو َلٰـ ِكَّن ٱَهَّلل َح َّبَب ِإَلْيُك ُم ٱِإْل يَم ٰـ َن َو َز َّيَن ۥُه ِفى ُقُلوِبُك ْم َو َك َّر َه ِإَلْيُك ُم ٱْلُك ْفَر‬
٧ ‫َو ٱْلُفُسوَق َو ٱْلِع ْص َياَن ۚ ُأ۟و َلٰٓـِئَك ُهُم ٱلَّٰر ِش ُد وَن‬

And keep in mind that Allah’s Messenger is ˹still˺ in your midst. If he were to yield to you in many matters, you
would surely suffer ˹the consequences˺.1 But Allah has endeared faith to you, making it appealing in your hearts.
And He has made disbelief, rebelliousness, and disobedience detestable to you. Those are the ones rightly guided.
٨ ‫َفْض اًۭل ِّم َن ٱِهَّلل َو ِنْع َم ًۭة ۚ َو ٱُهَّلل َع ِليٌم َحِكيٌۭم‬
˹This is˺ a bounty and a blessing from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise .
/١

‫َو ِإن َطٓاِئَفَتاِن ِم َن ٱْلُم ْؤ ِمِنيَن ٱْقَتَتُلو۟ا َفَأْص ِلُحو۟ا َبْيَنُهَم اۖ َفِإۢن َبَغ ْت ِإْح َد ٰى ُهَم ا َع َلى ٱُأْلْخ َر ٰى َفَقٰـ ِتُلو۟ا ٱَّلِتى َتْبِغ ى َح َّتٰى َتِفٓى َء ِإَلٰٓى َأْم ِر ٱِهَّللۚ َفِإن َفٓاَء ْت‬
٩ ‫َفَأْص ِلُحو۟ا َبْيَنُهَم ا ِبٱْلَع ْد ِل َو َأْقِس ُطٓو ۟ا ۖ ِإَّن ٱَهَّلل ُيِح ُّب ٱْلُم ْقِس ِط يَن‬
And if two groups of believers fight each other, then 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.

١٠ ‫ِإَّنَم ا ٱْلُم ْؤ ِم ُنوَن ِإْخ َوٌۭة َفَأْص ِلُحو۟ا َبْيَن َأَخ َو ْيُك ْم ۚ َو ٱَّتُقو۟ا ٱَهَّلل َلَع َّلُك ْم ُتْر َح ُم وَن‬
The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may
be shown mercy.

‫َيٰٓـَأُّيَها ٱَّلِذ يَن َء اَم ُنو۟ا اَل َيْس َخ ْر َقْو ٌۭم ِّم ن َقْو ٍم َع َس ٰٓى َأن َيُك وُنو۟ا َخ ْيًۭر ا ِّم ْنُهْم َو اَل ِنَس ٓاٌۭء ِّم ن ِّنَس ٓاٍء َع َس ٰٓى َأن َيُك َّن َخ ْيًۭر ا ِّم ْنُهَّن ۖ َو اَل َتْلِم ُز ٓو ۟ا َأنُفَس ُك ْم َو اَل‬
١١ ‫َتَناَبُز و۟ا ِبٱَأْلْلَقٰـ ِبۖ ِبْئَس ٱٱِلْس ُم ٱْلُفُسوُق َبْع َد ٱِإْل يَم ٰـ ِن ۚ َو َم ن َّلْم َيُتْب َفُأ۟و َلٰٓـِئَك ُهُم ٱلَّظٰـ ِلُم وَن‬
O believers! Do not let some ˹men˺ ridicule others, they may be better than them, nor let ˹some˺ women ridicule
other women, they may be better than them. Do not defame one another, nor call each other by offensive
nicknames. How evil it is to act rebelliously after having faith! And whoever does not repent, it is they who are
the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.

O believers! Avoid many suspicions, ˹for˺ indeed, some suspicions 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! 1 And fear Allah.
Surely Allah is ˹the˺ Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful

١٣ ‫َيٰٓـَأُّيَها ٱلَّناُس ِإَّنا َخ َلْقَنٰـ ُك م ِّم ن َذ َك ٍۢر َو ُأنَثٰى َو َجَع ْلَنٰـ ُك ْم ُش ُعوًۭب ا َو َقَبٓاِئَل ِلَتَع اَر ُفٓو ۟ا ۚ ِإَّن َأْك َر َم ُك ْم ِع نَد ٱِهَّلل َأْتَقٰى ُك ْم ۚ ِإَّن ٱَهَّلل َع ِليٌم َخ ِبيٌۭر‬

O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may
˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah
is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.1

۞ ‫َقاَلِت ٱَأْلْع َر اُب َء اَم َّناۖ ُقل َّلْم ُتْؤ ِم ُنو۟ا َو َلٰـ ِكن ُقوُلٓو ۟ا َأْس َلْم َنا َو َلَّم ا َيْد ُخ ِل ٱِإْل يَم ٰـ ُن ِفى ُقُلوِبُك ْم ۖ َو ِإن ُتِط يُعو۟ا ٱَهَّلل َو َر ُسوَل ۥُه اَل َيِلْتُك م ِّم ْن‬
١٤ ‫َأْع َم ٰـ ِلُك ْم َش ْئًـاۚ ِإَّن ٱَهَّلل َغ ُفوٌۭر َّر ِح يٌم‬

˹Some of˺ the nomadic Arabs say, “We believe.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “You have not believed. But say, ‘We have
submitted,’ for faith has not yet entered your hearts. 1 But if you obey Allah and His Messenger ˹wholeheartedly˺, He
will not discount anything from ˹the reward of˺ your deeds. Allah is truly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
/١

‫ُثَّم َلْم َيْر َتاُبو۟ا َو َج ٰـ َهُد و۟ا ِبَأْم َٰو ِلِهْم َو َأنُفِس ِهْم ِفى َس ِبيِل ٱِهَّللۚ ُأ۟و َلٰٓـِئَك ُهُم ٱلَّص ٰـ ِد ُقوَن‬ ‫إَِّنَم ا ٱْلُم ْؤ ِم ُنوَن ٱَّلِذ يَن َء اَم ُنو۟ا ِبٱِهَّلل َو َر ُسوِلِهۦ‬
١٥
The ˹true˺ believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger—never doubting—and strive with their wealth
and their lives in the cause of Allah. They are the ones true in faith.

١٦ ‫ُقْل َأُتَع ِّلُم وَن ٱَهَّلل ِبِد يِنُك ْم َو ٱُهَّلل َيْع َلُم َم ا ِفى ٱلَّس َم ٰـ َٰو ِت َو َم ا ِفى ٱَأْلْر ِضۚ َو ٱُهَّلل ِبُك ِّل َش ْى ٍء َع ِليٌۭم‬

Say, “Do you inform Allah of your faith, when Allah ˹already˺ knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the
earth? And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.”

١٧ ‫َيُم ُّنوَن َع َلْيَك َأْن َأْس َلُم و۟ا ۖ ُقل اَّل َتُم ُّنو۟ا َع َلَّى ِإْس َلٰـ َم ُك مۖ َبِل ٱُهَّلل َيُم ُّن َع َلْيُك ْم َأْن َهَد ٰى ُك ْم ِلِإْل يَم ٰـ ِن ِإن ُك نُتْم َص ٰـ ِدِقيَن‬
They regard their acceptance of Islam as a favour to you. Tell ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Do not regard your Islam as a favour
to me. Rather, it is Allah Who has done you a favour by guiding you to the faith, if ˹indeed˺ you are faithful.

١٨ ‫ِإَّن ٱَهَّلل َيْع َلُم َغ ْيَب ٱلَّس َم ٰـ َٰو ِت َو ٱَأْلْر ِضۚ َو ٱُهَّلل َبِص يٌۢر ِبَم ا َتْع َم ُلوَن‬

Surely Allah knows the unseen of the heavens and earth. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.”
