49:14 The Arabs declare, 'We believe.' Say, 'You do not', rather, say, 'we submit,' because belief has not yet found its way into your hearts. If you obey Allah and His Messenger, He (Allah) will not reduce a thing from of your deeds. Allah is the Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
49:15 The believers are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger and have not doubted, and who struggled in His Way with their possessions and themselves. Such are those who are truthful.
49:16 Say, 'Would you teach Allah what your religion is, when Allah knows all that is in the heavens and the earth?' Allah has knowledge of all things.
49:17 They regard it as a favor to you (Prophet Muhammad) that they have submitted! Say, 'Do not regard your submission as a favor to me, rather, it is Allah who bestows upon you a favor by guiding you to belief, if you are truthful.
