وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّتِى نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنۢ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَٰثًۭا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَٰنَكُمْ دَخَلًۢا بَيْنَكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِىَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ ۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ
How to read it
Wa lā takūnū ka-llatī naqaḍat' ghaz'lahā min[m] baʻ'di quwatin 'ankāthan tattakhidhūna 'ay'mānakum' dakhalan[m] bay'nakum' 'an takūna 'ummatun hiya 'ar'bā min' 'ummatin . 'innamā yab'lūkumu -llahu bihī . walayubayyinanna lakum' yaw'ma l-qiyāmati mā kuntum' fīhi takh'talifūna
And be not like a woman who breaks into untwisted strands the yarn which she has spun, after it has become strong. Nor take your oaths to practise deception between yourselves, lest one party should be more numerous than another: for Allah will test you by this; and on the Day of Judgment He will certainly make clear to you (the truth of) that wherein ye disagree.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
