سورة المنافقون

63. Surah Al-Munafiqun
The Hypocrites

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

When the waverers come to thee they say: “We bear witness that thou art the messenger of God.” But God knows that thou art His messenger, and God bears witness that the waverers are liars.

اِذَا جَٓاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ اِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللّٰهِۢ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَشْهَدُ اِنَّ الْمُنَافِق۪ينَ لَـكَاذِبُونَۚ

Itha jaaka almunafiqoonaqaloo nashhadu innaka larasoolu Allahi wallahuyaAAlamu innaka larasooluhu wallahu yashhadu innaalmunafiqeena lakathiboon

They have taken their oaths as a cover, then they turned away from the path of God — evil is what they did —

اِتَّخَذُٓوا اَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّهُمْ سَٓاءَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Ittakhathoo aymanahum junnatanfasaddoo AAan sabeeli Allahi innahum saa makanoo yaAAmaloon

For it is that they believed, then denied! Then were their hearts sealed, and they understand not.

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا فَطُبِعَ عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ

Thalika bi-annahum amanoothumma kafaroo fatubiAAa AAala quloobihim fahum layafqahoon

And when thou seest them, their forms please thee; and if they speak, thou listenest to their speech as if they were propped up pieces of dry wood. They think every blast is against them. They are the enemy; so beware thou of them. May God curse them! How are they deluded!

وَاِذَا رَاَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ اَجْسَامُهُمْۜ وَاِنْ يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْۜ كَاَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُسَنَّدَةٌۜ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْۜ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْۜ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُۘ اَنّٰى يُؤْفَـكُونَ

Wa-itha raaytahum tuAAjibuka ajsamuhumwa-in yaqooloo tasmaAA liqawlihim kaannahum khushubunmusannadatun yahsaboona kulla sayhatinAAalayhim humu alAAaduwwu fahtharhum qatalahumuAllahu anna yu/fakoon

And when it is said to them: “Come, the messenger of God will ask forgiveness for you,” they turn aside their heads; and thou seest them turning away, waxing proud.

وَاِذَا ق۪يلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ لَـوَّوْا رُؤُ۫سَهُمْ وَرَاَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ وَهُمْ مُسْتَكْبِرُونَ

Wa-itha qeela lahum taAAalawyastaghfir lakum rasoolu Allahi lawwaw ruoosahumwaraaytahum yasuddoona wahum mustakbiroon

It is the same for them whether thou askest forgiveness for them or hast not asked forgiveness for them: God will never forgive them; God guides not the perfidious people.

سَوَٓاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ اَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ اَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْۜ لَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِق۪ينَ

Sawaon AAalayhim astaghfarta lahum amlam tastaghfir lahum lan yaghfira Allahu lahum inna Allahala yahdee alqawma alfasiqeen

Those are they who say: “Spend not on those with the messenger of God until they disband.” And to God belong the treasuries of the heavens and the earth; but the waverers understand not.

هُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنْفِقُوا عَلٰى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ حَتّٰى يَنْفَضُّواۜ وَلِلّٰهِ خَزَٓائِنُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِق۪ينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ

Humu allatheena yaqooloona latunfiqoo AAala man AAinda rasooli Allahi hattayanfaddoo walillahi khaza-inu assamawatiwal-ardi walakinna almunafiqeena layafqahoon

They say: “If we return to the city, the more honoured will drive therefrom the meaner.” But to God belong power and glory, and to His messenger, and to the believers; but the waverers know not.

يَقُولُونَ لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَٓا اِلَى الْمَد۪ينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْاَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْاَذَلَّۜ وَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِه۪ وَلِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَلٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِق۪ينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ۟

Yaqooloona la-in rajaAAna ilaalmadeenati layukhrijanna al-aAAazzu minha al-athallawalillahi alAAizzatu walirasoolihi walilmu/mineena walakinnaalmunafiqeena la yaAAlamoon

O you who heed warning: let not your wealth or your children divert you from the remembrance of God; and whoso does that, it is they who are the losers.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَٓا اَوْلَادُكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِۚ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tulhikum amwalukum wala awladukumAAan thikri Allahi waman yafAAal thalikafaola-ika humu alkhasiroon

And spend of what We have provided you before death comes to one among you and he says: “My Lord: hadst Thou but delayed me to a near term, that I might give charity and be among the righteous!”

وَاَنْفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَأْتِيَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَٓا اَخَّرْتَـن۪ٓي اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ قَر۪يبٍۙ فَاَصَّدَّقَ وَاَكُنْ مِنَ الصَّالِح۪ينَ

Waanfiqoo min ma razaqnakummin qabli an ya/tiya ahadakumu almawtu fayaqoola rabbilawla akhkhartanee ila ajalin qareebin faassaddaqawaakun mina assaliheen

But God delays no soul when its term comes; and God is aware of what you do.

وَلَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ اللّٰهُ نَفْساً اِذَا جَٓاءَ اَجَلُهَاۜ وَاللّٰهُ خَب۪يرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Walan yu-akhkhira Allahu nafsan ithajaa ajaluha wallahu khabeerun bimataAAmaloon
