Surah Al-Ĥujurāt (The Rooms) in English

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1. يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تقدموا بين يدي الله ورسوله واتقوا الله إن الله سميع عليم

   1

   O you who have faith! Do not venture ahead of Allah and His Apostle, and be wary of Allah. Indeed Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.

   yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū lā tuqaddimū bayna yadayi llāhi wa-rasūlihī wa-ttaqū llāha ʾinna llāha samīʿun ʿalīmun

2. يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا ترفعوا أصواتكم فوق صوت النبي ولا تجهروا له بالقول كجهر بعضكم لبعض أن تحبط أعمالكم وأنتم لا تشعرون

   2

   O you who have faith! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, and do not speak aloud to him like you shout to one another, lest your works should fail without your being aware.

   yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū lā tarfaʿū ʾaṣwātakum fawqa ṣawti n-nabiyyi wa-lā tajharū lahū bi-l-qawli ka-jahri baʿḍikum li-baʿḍin ʾan taḥbaṭa ʾaʿmālukum wa-ʾantum lā tashʿurūna

3. إن الذين يغضون أصواتهم عند رسول الله أولئك الذين امتحن الله قلوبهم للتقوى لهم مغفرة وأجر عظيم

   3

   Indeed those who lower their voices in the presence of the Apostle of Allah—they are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for Godwariness. For them will be forgiveness and a great reward.

   ʾinna lladhīna yaghuḍḍūna ʾaṣwātahum ʿinda rasūli llāhi ʾulāʾika lladhīna mtaḥana llāhu qulūbahum li-t-taqwā lahum maghfiratun wa-ʾajrun ʿaẓīmun

4. إن الذين ينادونك من وراء الحجرات أكثرهم لا يعقلون

   4

   Indeed those who call you from behind the apartments, most of them do not use their reason.

   ʾinna lladhīna yunādūnaka min warāʾi l-ḥujurāti ʾaktharuhum lā yaʿqilūna
