Qur'an 49:13 · Surah Al-Hujurat · Medinan
That you may know one another
Arabic text
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٖ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ شُعُوبٗا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ أَكۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَىٰكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٞ13
Translation · Saheeh International
13O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted
Explanation
Our educational summary. It is not part of the Qur'an and is not a tafsir.
Addressed to all humanity, not only believers: human diversity exists so that people may know one another, and the noblest in God's sight is the most righteous, not the wealthiest or best-connected.
