o mankind! lo! we have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of allah, is the best in conduct. lo! allah is knower, aware.
اى مردم ما شما را از مرد و زنى آفريديم و شما را ملت ملت و قبيله قبيله گردانيديم تا با يكديگر شناسايى متقابل حاصل كنيد در حقيقت ارجمندترين شما نزد خدا پرهيزگارترين شماست بىترديد خداوند داناى آگاه است
(all) people are a single nation; so allah raised prophets as bearers of good news and as warners, and he revealed with them the book with truth, that it might judge between people in that in which they differed; and none but the very people who were given it differed about it after clear arguments had come to them, revolting among themselves; so allah has guided by his will those who believe to the truth about which they differed and allah guides whom he pleases to the right path
مردم امتى يگانه بودند پس خداوند پيامبران را نويدآور و بيمدهنده برانگيخت و با آنان كتاب [خود] را بحق فرو فرستاد تا ميان مردم در آنچه با هم اختلاف داشتند داورى كند و جز كسانى كه [كتاب] به آنان داده شد پس از آنكه دلايل روشن براى آنان آمد به خاطر ستم [و حسدى] كه ميانشان بود [هيچ كس] در آن اختلاف نكرد پس خداوند آنان را كه ايمان آورده بودند به توفيق خويش به حقيقت آنچه كه در آن اختلاف داشتند هدايت كرد و خدا هر كه را بخواهد به راه راست هدايت مىكند
