Aya 11
11
يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِذا قيلَ لَكُم تَفَسَّحوا فِي المَجالِسِ فَافسَحوا يَفسَحِ اللَّهُ لَكُم ۖ وَإِذا قيلَ انشُزوا فَانشُزوا يَرفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ آمَنوا مِنكُم وَالَّذينَ أوتُوا العِلمَ دَرَجاتٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ خَبيرٌ

Bijan Moeinian

God is hereby asking the believers to make room, out of curtsey, for the new comers in your assemblies to sit; may God open room for you in difficulties. When the meeting is over and you are told to leave, follow accordingly. By doing so you will not loose your rank and dignity as the your rank and knowledge is a grant from your Lord and would not be reduced by being courteous toward the others. Beware that God is aware of your attitude and acts.
