13. O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made
you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each
other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most
righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

14. The desert Arabs say, "We believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only)say, 'We
have submitted our wills to Allah,' For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye
obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not belittle aught of your deeds: for Allah is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful."
