63 The Hypocrites -Al-Munafikoon
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[63.1] When the hypocrites come to you they say: 'We
bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah. ' Allah knows that you
(Prophet Muhammad) are indeed His Messenger, and Allah bears witness that the
hypocrites are truly liars!
[63.2] They have taken their oaths as a cover and barred
others from the Path of Allah. Evil is what they have done.
[63.3] That is because they believed, then disbelieved,
because of this a seal has been set upon their hearts so they are unable to
understand.
[63.4] When you see them their bodies please you, but
when they speak and you listen to their sayings, they are like proppedup
timber. Every shout (they hear) they take it to be against them. They are the
enemy be wary of them. Allah kills them! How perverse they are!
[63.5] When it is said to them: 'Come, the Messenger of
Allah will ask forgiveness for you, ' they turn their heads in pride and you
see them go away.
[63.6] It is equal for them whether you ask for their
forgiveness or you do not ask for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive
them. Allah does not guide the evildoers.
[63.7] It is they that say: 'Spend nothing on those who
follow the Messenger of Allah until they disperse. ' Yet to Allah belong the
treasuries of heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.
[63.8] They say: 'If we return to the City, the strong
will expel the humiliated. ' But the might belongs to Allah, and His Messenger
and the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.
[63.9] Believers, do not let either your possessions or
your children divert you from the Remembrance of Allah. Those who do that shall
be the losers.
[63.10] So spend of that with which We have provided you
before death comes upon any of you and he then says: 'O my Lord, if only You
would defer me to a near term, so that I could give in charity and be among the
good doers. '
[63.11] But Allah will never defer any soul when its
term comes. Allah is Aware of what you do.
