قَالَتِ الْاَعْرَابُ اٰمَنَّاۜ قُلْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَلٰكِنْ قُولُٓوا اَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْا۪يمَانُ ف۪ي قُلُوبِكُمْۜ وَاِنْ تُط۪يعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَا يَلِتْكُمْ مِنْ اَعْمَالِكُمْ شَيْـٔاًۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

The desert Arabs say: “We believe.” Say thou: “You have not believed; but say: ‘We have submitted,’ for faith has not entered into your hearts.” But if you obey God and His messenger, He will not defraud you of anything of your deeds; God is forgiving and merciful.
