| Surah 63
- The Hypocrites |
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[63.1] When
the hypocrites come to you, they
say: We bear witness that you are
most surely Allah's Apostle; and
Allah knows that you are most surely
His Apostle, and Allah bears witness
that the hypocrites are surely
liars.
[63.2] They make their oaths
a shelter, and thus turn away from
Allah's way; surely evil is that
which they do.
[63.3] That is because they
believe, then disbelieve, so a seal
is set upon their hearts so that
they do not understand.
[63.4] And when you see them,
their persons will please you, and
If they speak, you will listen to
their speech; (they are) as if they
were big pieces of wood clad with
garments; they think every cry to be
against them. They are the enemy,
therefore beware of them; may Allah
destroy them, whence are they turned
back?
[63.5] And when it is said to
them: Come, the Apostle of Allah
will ask forgiveness for you, they
turn back their heads and you may
see them turning away while they are
big with pride.
[63.6] It is alike to them
whether you beg forgiveness for them
or do not beg forgiveness for them;
Allah will never forgive them;
surely Allah does not guide the
transgressing people.
[63.7] They it is who say: Do
not spend upon those who are with
the Apostle of Allah until they
break up. And Allah's are the
treasures of the heavens and the
earth, but the hypocrites do not
understand.
[63.8] They say: If we return
to Medina, the mighty will surely
drive out the meaner there from; and
to Allah belongs the might and to
His Apostle and to the believers,
but the hypocrites do not know.
[63.9] O you who believe! let
not your wealth, or your children,
divert you from the remembrance of
Allah; and whoever does that, these
are the losers.
[63.10] And spend out of what
We have given you before death comes
to one of you, so that he should
say: My Lord! why didst Thou not
respite me to a near term, so that I
should have given alms and been of
the doers of good deeds?
[63.11] And Allah does not
respite a soul when its appointed
term has come, and Allah is Aware of
what you do. |
