English Translation
8O you who believe! Be witnesses who uphold truth and justice for Allah's sake. Do not let your anger toward a people drive you to injustice; be just. That is the conduct most in keeping with a sense of responsibility. Guard yourselves against defying Allah's commands. Surely Allah is fully aware of everything you do.
