يا ايها الذين امنوا لا يسخر قوم من قوم عسى ان يكونوا خيرا منهم ولا نساء من نساء عسى ان يكن خيرا منهن ولا تلمزوا انفسكم ولا تنابزوا بالالقاب بئس الاسم الفسوق بعد الايمان ومن لم يتب فاولئك هم الظالمون

O ye who believe! Let not some men Among you laugh at others: It may be that The (latter) are better Than the (former): Nor let some women Laugh at others: It may be that The (latter) are better Than the (former): Nor defame nor be Sarcastic to each other, Nor call each other By (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name Connoting wickedness, (To be used of one) After he has believed: And those who Do not desist are (Indeed) doing wrong.
