The Hypocrites - Chapter 63 | Contains 11 verses – Medina |
|
|
إِذَا جَاءكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُ وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَكَاذِبُونَ |
|
1- |
When the hypocrites came to you, they said:
”We bear witness that you are really the Messenger of God". God knows that you are indeed His Messenger and God does witness that the hypocrites are liars indeed. |
|
اتَّخَذُوا أَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ سَاء مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
2- |
They use their oaths (that they are with you) as hidden screen (for
their hypocrisy and double-talk) so that they hinder (themselves and others) from the Way of God. Of course, what they have been doing, is evil. |
|
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا فَطُبِعَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ |
|
3- |
That is because they initially believed, later
they disbelieved; therefore their hearts became sealed (and closed to accept the truth), so they do not understand. |
|
وَإِذَا
رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِن يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ
لِقَوْلِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ |
|
4- |
And when you look at them, their physical
appearances please you and when they speak, you listen to their
words. They are like hollow pieces of wood propped up (against the wall). They imagine that any cry or loud voice is against them. They are the enemies, so beware of them. God shall kill them, how far astray they are (from the Truth). |
|
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَوَّوْا رُؤُوسَهُمْ وَرَأَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ |
|
5- |
And when they are told: “Come along, the
Messenger of God will ask God to forgive you,” they twist their heads away from you and you notice them refusing in arrogance. |
|
سَوَاء عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَن يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ |
|
6- |
It is the same to them, whether you
(Muhammad) ask Forgiveness for them or not, God will never forgive them; since God in fact does not guide rebellious evil mongers (evil doers). |
|
هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِندَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنفَضُّوا وَلِلَّهِ خَزَائِنُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ |
|
7- |
They are the ones who say: "Do not help financially those who are with the Messenger of God so that they become hopeless and leave him." But (they do not know that) to God belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth but the hypocrites don't understand it. |
|
يَقُولُونَ لَئِن رَّجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
8- |
They claim and say: "If we return to Medina,
the powerful people there, will expel these lower class people (meaning poor Muslims) from it, whereas all the power and dignity belongs to God and to His Messenger and the believers, but the hypocrites don't know it. |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ |
|
9- |
O you who believe, do not let your financial
belongings and your children prevent you from remembering God and whoever does that they should know that they are the losers. |
|
وَأَنفِقُوا مِن مَّا رَزَقْنَاكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَا أَخَّرْتَنِي إِلَى أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ |
|
10- |
And do give in charity from what We have
provided for you before death would reach anyone of you, at which time the person would say: "O Lord, would you please delay my death a little longer so that I would give in charity and I will be one of those who improve the condition of the society". |
|
وَلَن يُؤَخِّرَ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِذَا جَاء أَجَلُهَا وَاللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ |
|
11- |
But God never delays someone's death when the
time of his or her death arrives and God is quite Aware and Informed of whatever that you do. |
