Section 1 [Munafiqoon
63:1] When the hypocrites come in your presence (O dear Prophet Mohammed -
peace and blessings be upon him) they say, “We testify that you
surely are Allah’s Noble Messenger”; and Allah knows that you
indeed are His Noble Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are
indeed liars. [Munafiqoon
63:2] They have taken their oaths as a shield, thereby prevented others from
Allah’s way; indeed they commit extremely evil deeds. [Munafiqoon
63:3] That is because they accepted faith with their tongues then disbelieved
with their hearts, therefore their hearts were sealed - so now they do not
understand anything. [Munafiqoon
63:4] And when you see them, their appearance would please you; and when they
speak, you would listen carefully to their speech; like wooden blocks propped
against the wall; they assume every cry to be against them; they are the
enemy, so beware of them; may Allah slay them! Where are they reverting! [Munafiqoon
63:5] And when it is said to them, “Come! Allah’s Noble Messenger
may seek forgiveness for you” - they turn their heads away, and you will
see them turning away in pride. [Munafiqoon
63:6] It is the same for them, whether you seek forgiveness for them or do
not seek forgiveness for them; Allah will never forgive them; indeed Allah
does not guide the sinning people. [Munafiqoon
63:7] It is they who say, “Do not spend upon those who are with Allah’s
Noble Messenger until they get distraught”; whereas to Allah only belong
the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not have
sense. [Munafiqoon
63:8] They say, “If we return to Medinah, then indeed the honourable
group will soon expel the lowly one”; whereas all honour belongs to
Allah and to His Noble Messenger and to the Muslims, but the hypocrites do
not know. Section
2
[Munafiqoon
63:9] O People who Believe! May not your wealth or your children cause you to
neglect the remembrance of Allah; and whoever does this – so it is they
who are in a loss. [Munafiqoon
63:10] And spend from what We have provided you before death approaches any
one of you and he then says, “My Lord! Why did you not give me respite
for a little while, so I would have given charity and become of the virtuous?”
[Munafiqoon
63:11] And Allah will never give respite to any soul when its promise
arrives; and Allah is Aware of your deeds. |
