AL-MUNAFIQUN (63)

The Hypocrites

1. When the hypocrites come to thee, they say, `we bear witness that thou art God's Messenger', and God knows that thou art indeed His Messenger; but God bears witness that the hypocrites are surely liars.(1)
2. They have taken their oaths as a covering, and so bar from the way of God; surely evil is that they do.(2)
3. That is because they believed, then disbelieved, then a seal was set on their hearts, so they do not understand.(3)
4. And when thou seest them, their bodies please thee; and if they speak, thou listenest to their speech; they are like propped-up timber; they think every Cry is against them; they are the enemy, so beware of them; God perish them; how perverted they are!(4)
5. And when it is said to them, `come, God's Messenger will pray for your forgiveness', they twist their heads, and thou seest them holding back in arrogance.(5)
6. It is all alike for them whether thou prayest for their forgiveness or dost not pray for their forgiveness; God will never forgive them; surely God does not guide the transgressing people.(6)
7. They are those who say, `do not expend on those who are with God's Messenger, till they scatter off;' yet to God belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.(7)
8. They say, `if we return to the City, the mightier will expel from there the more abased; yet the might belongs to God and to His Messenger and to the Believers, but the hypocrites do not know.(8)
9. O Believers, let not your wealth or your children divert you from Cod's remembrance; and whoso does that, they are the losers.(9)
10. And expend of that We have provided you, before death comes upon any of you, and he says, `my Lord, if only Thou wouldst defer me to a near term, I would make offerings and be among the righteous.'(10)
11. But God will not defer a soul, when its term comes; and God is aware of what you do?(11)
