Surah Al-Munafiqun In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate When the hypocrites come to you (O Muhammad SAW), they say: “We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah.” Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars indeed. ( Quran Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:1 ) They have made their oaths a screen (for their hypocrisy). Thus they hinder (men) from the Path of Allah. Verily, evil is what they used to do. ( Quran Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:2 ) That is because they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their hearts are sealed, so they understand not. ( Quran Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:3 ) And when you look at them, their bodies please you; and when they speak, you listen to their words. They are as blocks of wood propped up. They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies, so beware of them. May Allah curse them! How are they denying (or deviating from) the Right Path. ( Quran 63:4 ) And when it is said to them: “Come, so that the Messenger of Allah may ask forgiveness from Allah for you”, they turn aside their heads, and you would see them turning away their faces in pride. ( Quran 63:5 ) It is equal to them whether you (Muhammad SAW) ask forgiveness or ask not forgiveness for them. Verily, Allah guides not the people who are the Fasiqin (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). ( Quran 63:6 ) They are the ones who say: “Spend not on those who are with Allah’s Messenger, until they desert him.” And to Allah belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites comprehend not. ( Quran 63:7 ) They (hyprocrites) say: “If we return to Al-Madinah, indeed the more honourable (‘Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, the chief of hyprocrites at Al-Madinah) will expel therefrom the meaner (i.e. Allah’s Messenger SAW).” But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not. ( Quran 63:8 ) O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers. ( Quran 63:9 ) And spend (in charity) of that with which We have provided you, before death comes to one of you and he says: “My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while (i.e. return to the worldly life), then I should give Sadaqah (i.e. Zakat) of my wealth , and be among the righteous [i.e. perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah)]. ( Quran 63:10 ) And Allah grants respite to none when his appointed time (death) comes. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. ( Quran 63:11 ) SHARE THIS:
