Surah Al-Munafiqun
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
اِذَا جَاۤءَكَ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ قَالُوْا نَشْهَدُ اِنَّكَ لَرَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ ۘوَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اِنَّكَ لَرَسُوْلُهٗ ۗوَاللّٰهُ يَشْهَدُ اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَكٰذِبُوْنَۚ١
Iżā jā'akal-munāfiqūna qālū nasyhadu innaka larasūlullāh(i), wallāhu ya‘lamu innaka larasūluh(ū), wallāhu yasyhadu innal-munāfiqīna lakāżibūn(a).
[1]
When the hypocrites come to you, [O Muhammad], they say, "We testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." And Allah knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are liars.
اِتَّخَذُوْٓا اَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهُمْ سَاۤءَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ٢
Ittakhażū aimānahum junnatan faṣaddū ‘an sabīlillāh(i), innahum sā'a mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).
[2]
They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allah. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا فَطُبِعَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ٣
Żālika bi'annahum āmanū ṡumma kafarū faṭubi‘a ‘alā qulūbihim fahum lā yafqahūn(a).
[3]
That is because they believed, and then they disbelieved; so their hearts were sealed over, and they do not understand.
۞ وَاِذَا رَاَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ اَجْسَامُهُمْۗ وَاِنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْۗ كَاَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ ۗيَحْسَبُوْنَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْۗ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْۗ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۖاَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُوْنَ٤
Wa iżā ra'aitahum tu‘jibuka ajsāmuhum, wa iy yaqūlū tasma‘ liqaulihim, ka'annahum khusyubum musannadah(tun), yaḥsabūna kulla ṣaiḥatin ‘alaihim, humul-‘aduwwu faḥżarhum, qātalahumullāh(u), annā yu'fakūn(a).
[4]
And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?
وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ لَوَّوْا رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَرَاَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّوْنَ وَهُمْ مُّسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ٥
Wa iżā qīla lahum ta‘ālau yastagfir lakum rasūlullāhi lawwau ru'ūsahum wa ra'aitahum yaṣuddūna wa hum mustakbirūn(a).
[5]
And when it is said to them, "Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads aside and you see them evading while they are arrogant.
سَوَاۤءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ اَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ اَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْۗ لَنْ يَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ٦
Sawā'un ‘alaihim astagfarta lahum am lam tastagfir lahum, lay yagfirallāhu lahum, innallāha lā yahdil-qaumal-fāsiqīn(a).
[6]
It is all the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; never will Allah forgive them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
هُمُ الَّذِيْنَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَا تُنْفِقُوْا عَلٰى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ حَتّٰى يَنْفَضُّوْاۗ وَلِلّٰهِ خَزَاۤىِٕنُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۙ وَلٰكِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ٧
Humul-lażīna yaqūlūna lā tunfiqū ‘alā man ‘inda rasūlillāhi ḥattā yanfaḍḍū, wa lillāhi khazā'inus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa lākinnal-munāfiqīna lā yafqahūn(a).
[7]
They are the ones who say, "Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah until they disband." And to Allah belongs the depositories of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.
يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَىِٕنْ رَّجَعْنَآ اِلَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْاَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْاَذَلَّ ۗوَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُوْلِهٖ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَلٰكِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ٨
Yaqūlūna la'ir raja‘nā ilal-madīnati layukhrijannal-a‘azzu minhal-ażall(a), wa lillāhil-‘izzatu wa lirasūlihī wa lil-mu'minīna wa lākinnal-munāfiqīna lā ya‘lamūn(a).
[8]
They say, "If we return to al-Madinah, the more honored [for power] will surely expel therefrom the more humble." And to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَآ اَوْلَادُكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ۚوَمَنْ يَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ٩
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tulhikum amwālukum wa lā aulādukum ‘an żikrillāh(i), wa may yaf‘al żālika fa ulā'ika humul-khāsirūn(a).
[9]
O you who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from remembrance of Allah. And whoever does that - then those are the losers.
وَاَنْفِقُوْا مِنْ مَّا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقُوْلَ رَبِّ لَوْلَآ اَخَّرْتَنِيْٓ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ قَرِيْبٍۚ فَاَصَّدَّقَ وَاَكُنْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ١٠
Wa anfiqū mimmā razaqnākum min qabli ay ya'tiya aḥadakumul-mautu fa yaqūla rabbi lau lā akhkhartanī ilā ajalin qarīb(in), fa aṣṣaddaqa wa akum minaṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).
[10]
And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, "My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous."
وَلَنْ يُّؤَخِّرَ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِذَا جَاۤءَ اَجَلُهَاۗ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ١١
Wa lay yu'akhkhirallāhu nafsan iżā jā'a ajaluhā, wallāhu khabīrum bimā ta‘malūn(a).
[11]
But never will Allah delay a soul when its time has come. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
