Al-Hujurat 49:14 ۞ قالت الاعراب امنا قل لم تومنوا ولاكن قولوا اسلمنا ولما يدخل الايمان في قلوبكم وان تطيعوا الله ورسوله لا يلتكم من اعمالكم شييا ان الله غفور رحيم ١٤
۞ قَالَتِ
ٱلۡأَعۡرَابُ
ءَامَنَّاۖ

ٱلۡإِيمَٰنُ
فِي
قُلُوبِكُمۡۖ
وَإِن
تُطِيعُواْ
ٱللَّهَ
وَرَسُولَهُۥ
لَا
يَلِتۡكُم
مِّنۡ
أَعۡمَٰلِكُمۡ
شَيۡـًٔاۚ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
غَفُورٞ
رَّحِيمٌ

˹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.”
