Surah 49. Al-Hujurat, Ayah 1
| يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ |
| Transliteration | : | yaa 'ayyuhaa 'alladhena 'aamano laa tuqaddimo bayna yadai 'allaah wa- rasol -hi wa- ittaqo 'allaah 'inna 'allaah samec calem |
| Pickthall | : | O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and His messenger, and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower. |
| Asad | : | O you who have attained to faith! Do not put yourselves forward1 in the presence of [what] God and His Apostle [may have ordained], but remain conscious of God: for, verily, God is all-hearing, all-knowing! |
| Malik | : | O believers! Do not put yourselves ahead of Allah and His Rasool. Fear Allah; surely Allah hears all and knows all. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | O ye who believe! put not yourselves forward before Allah and His Apostle: But fear Allah: for Allah is He who hears and knows all things. 4919 |

Note - 4919Several shades of meaning are implied: (1) do not make
yourselves conspicuous in word or deed when in the
presence of Allah (e.g. in a Mosque, or at Prayers or
religious assemblies): (2) do not anticipate in word or
deed what your Leader (Allah's Messenger) may say or do;
(3) do not be impatient, trying to hasten things before
the time is ripe, of which the best Judge is Allah, Who
speaks through His Messenger. Be reverent in all things,
as in the presence of Allah: for He hears and sees all
things. (4) Look to the Qur-an and the Sunnah of the
Prophet (peace be on him) for guidance and let nothing
else take precedence of them.
