The Hypocrites - سورة المنافقون

إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ
لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُ وَاللَّهُ
يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَكَاذِبُونَ ( 1 )
When the hypocrites come to you, [O Muhammad],
they say, "We testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." And Allah
knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the
hypocrites are liars.

اتَّخَذُوا أَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَاءَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ( 2 )
They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they
averted [people] from the way of Allah. Indeed, it was evil that they
were doing.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا فَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ ( 3 )
That is because they believed, and then they disbelieved; so their hearts were sealed over, and they do not understand.

وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ ۖ
وَإِن يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ ۖ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ
ۖ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْ
ۚ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ( 4 )
And when you see them, their forms please you,
and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they
were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against
them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how
are they deluded?

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا يَسْتَغْفِرْ
لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَوَّوْا رُءُوسَهُمْ وَرَأَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ
وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ ( 5 )
And when it is said to them, "Come, the Messenger
of Allah will ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads aside and
you see them evading while they are arrogant.

سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ
لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَن يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا
يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ ( 6 )
It is all the same for them whether you ask
forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; never will
Allah forgive them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the defiantly
disobedient people.

هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنفِقُوا عَلَىٰ
مَنْ عِندَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّىٰ يَنفَضُّوا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ خَزَائِنُ
السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ ( 7 )
They are the ones who say, "Do not spend on those
who are with the Messenger of Allah until they disband." And to Allah
belongs the depositories of the heavens and the earth, but the
hypocrites do not understand.

يَقُولُونَ لَئِن رَّجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ
لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ
وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا
يَعْلَمُونَ ( 8 )
They say, "If we return to al-Madinah, the more
honored [for power] will surely expel therefrom the more humble." And to
Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers,
but the hypocrites do not know.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ
أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ
ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ ( 9 )
O you who have believed, let not your wealth and
your children divert you from remembrance of Allah. And whoever does
that - then those are the losers.

وَأَنفِقُوا مِن مَّا رَزَقْنَاكُم مِّن قَبْلِ
أَن يَأْتِيَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَا أَخَّرْتَنِي
إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ( 10 )
And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have
provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, "My Lord,
if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and
be among the righteous."

وَلَن يُؤَخِّرَ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهَا ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ( 11 )
But never will Allah delay a soul when its time has come. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
