يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ ذَكَرٍ وَّاُنْثٰى وَجَعَلْنٰكُمْ شُعُوْبًا وَّقَبَاۤىِٕلَ لِتَعَارَفُوْا ۚ اِنَّ اَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اَتْقٰىكُمْ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ خَبِيْرٌ

The Bedouin Arabs say, We have believed. Say to them, You have not believed; rather, say, We have submitted, for faith has not entered your hearts. If you obey God and His Messenger, He will not diminish your deeds. Truly, God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful

The true believers are those who believe in God and His Messenger, never doubt, and strive with their wealth and lives in God's path. These are the truthful

قُلْ اَتُعَلِّمُوْنَ اللّٰهَ بِدِيْنِكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ

qul atu‘alimūnallāha bidīnikum, wallāhu ya‘lamu mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wallāhu bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

يَمُنُّوْنَ عَلَيْكَ اَنْ اَسْلَمُوْا ۗ قُلْ لَّا تَمُنُّوْا عَلَيَّ اِسْلَامَكُمْ ۚبَلِ اللّٰهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ اَنْ هَدٰىكُمْ لِلْاِيْمَانِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

innallāha ya‘lamu gaibas-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wallāhu baṣīrum bimā ta‘malūn(a).

Truly, God knows the unseen of the heavens and earth. God is All-Seeing of what you do
