وَلَا
تَجْعَلُوا
اللَّهَ
عُرْضَةً
لِّأَيْمَانِكُمْ
أَن
تَبَرُّوا
وَتَتَّقُوا
وَتُصْلِحُوا
بَيْنَ
النَّاسِ
وَاللَّهُ
سَمِيعٌ
عَلِيمٌ
wa-lā tajʿalū llāha ʿurḍatan li-ʾaymānikum ʾan tabarrū wa-tattaqū wa-tuṣliḥū bayna n-nāsi wa-llāhu samīʿun ʿalīmun
Do not make Allah an obstacle, through your oaths, to being pious and Godwary, and to bringing about concord between people. And Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.
— Ali Quli Qarai
And make not Allah's (name) an excuse in your oaths against doing good, or acting rightly, or making peace between persons; for Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth all things.
