سورة المنافقون
The Hypocrites
Al-Munaafiqoon | Sura # 63 | 11 verses | Madinan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful
إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُ وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَكَاذِبُونَ١
63:1 When the hypocrites come to you (O Prophet ﷺ) they say, 'We bear witness that you are certainly the Apostle of Allah', and indeed Allah knows that you are His Apostle, but Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are profound liars.
اتَّخَذُوا أَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَاءَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ٢
63:2 They have taken their oaths as a shield (for their hypocrisy). Thus they hinder people from the Way of Allah. Surely, evil is what they do.
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا فَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ٣
63:3 This is because they believed and then abandoned faith. Therefore, their hearts have been sealed, so they do not comprehend.
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ ۖ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُسَنَّدَةٌ ۖ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْ ۚ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ٤
63:4 When you see them, their appearance impresses you. And when they speak, you listen to their (impressive) speech. But they are like (worthless) planks of wood leaned (against a wall). They think every cry is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah condemn them! How can they be deluded (from the truth)?
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَوَّوْا رُءُوسَهُمْ وَرَأَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ وَهُمْ مُسْتَكْبِرُونَ٥
63:5 When it is said to them, 'Come! The Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) will seek forgiveness for you', they turn their heads away. You find them looking away in arrogance (and disdain).
سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ٦
63:6 It makes no difference whether you ask forgiveness for them or not, Allah will not forgive them. Allah does not guide such treacherous people.
هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنْفِقُوا عَلَىٰ مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّىٰ يَنْفَضُّوا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ خَزَائِنُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ٧
63:7 They are the same people who say: 'Do not give anything to those who follow the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) until they have deserted him.' And to Allah belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites cannot understand.
يَقُولُونَ لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ٨
63:8 They (hypocrites) say : 'If we return to Madinah, indeed the more honorable (Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, the chief hypocrite at Madinah) will expel from there the meaner (Allah’s Apostle ﷺ).' But honor, power and glory belong to Allah, and to His Apostle Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and to the believers, but the hypocrites don’t know.
It is in Hadith - Zaid bin Arqam (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) narrated that we went out with the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) on a journey and the people suffered from lack of provisions. So, (the hypocrite) Abdullah bin Ubayy said to his companions, ‘do not spend on those who are with Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), that they may disperse and go away from him.’ He also said, ‘if we return to Al-Madina, indeed, the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner.’ So, I went to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and informed him of that. He sent for Abdullah bin Ubayy and asked him, but Abdullãh bin Ubayy swore that he did not say so. The people said, ‘Zaid (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) told a lie to Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم).’ What they said distressed me very much. Later, Allah revealed the confirmation of my statement in His Saying – [When the hypocrites come to you.] (Al-Munafiqoon -1). So, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) called them (the Munafiqeen) that they might ask Allah to forgive them, but they turned their heads aside. Concerning Allah's Saying - خُشُبٌ مُسَنَّدَةٌ [(worthless) planks of wood leaned (against a wall)] (Al-Munafiqoon – 4), Zaid said, ‘they were the most handsome men. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Bk 65, Hadith # 423)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ٩
63:9 O' Believers, do not let your wealth and your children distract you from remembering Allah. Those who do so will be the ones who lose.
وَأَنْفِقُوا مِنْ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَا أَخَّرْتَنِي إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُنْ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ١٠
63:10 Spend, in charity and in the Cause of Allah, out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on you before that time when death will come to anyone of you, and he shall say : 'O my Lord! If only you would reprieve me for a little so that I could give out everything in charity, and be among the righteous.'
وَلَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهَا ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ١١
63:11 But Allah does not grant a person respite once its term has come to an end. And Allah is aware of what you do.
