The Hypocrites
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
When the hypocrites come to you, they say: "We testify that you are surely the messenger of God."
اذا جاك المنفقون قالوا نشهد انك لرسول الله
And God knows that you are surely His messenger.
والله يعلم انك لرسوله
And God testifies that the hypocrites are surely liars.
والله يشهد ان المنفقين لكذبون
They have taken their oaths as a shield and barred from the way of God.
اتخذوا ايمنهم جنه فصدوا عن سبيل الله
How evil is what they used to do!
انهم سا ما كانوا يعملون
That is because they believed, then disowned; so their cores were stamped, and they do not understand.
ذلك بانهم امنوا ثم كفروا فطبع علي قلوبهم فهم لا يفقهون
And when you see them, their silhouettes dazzle you,
واذا رايتهم تعجبك اجسامهم
and if they say something, you listen to their saying; they are like propped-up pieces of wood.
وان يقولوا تسمع لقولهم كانهم خشب مسنده
They think every cry is against them.
يحسبون كل صيحه عليهم
They are the enemy.
هم العدو
So beware of them.
فاحذرهم
May God combat them!
قتلهم الله
How then are they turned away?
اني يوفكون
And when it is said to them: "Come, that the messenger of God may ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads aside, and you see them holding back, growing proud.
واذا قيل لهم تعالوا يستغفر لكم رسول الله لووا روسهم ورايتهم يصدون وهم مستكبرون
It is the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them.
سوا عليهم استغفرت لهم ام لم تستغفر لهم
God will never forgive them.
لن يغفر الله لهم
God indeed does not guide the people of the oversteppers.
ان الله لا يهدي القوم الفسقين
They are the ones who say: "Do not spend on those who are with the messenger of God until they disperse."
هم الذين يقولون لا تنفقوا علي من عند رسول الله حتي ينفضوا
But to God belong the treasuries of the heavens and the earth,
ولله خزاين السموت والارض
but the hypocrites do not understand.
ولكن المنفقين لا يفقهون
They say: "If we return to the Capital, the mightier will surely expel the more humiliated therefrom."
يقولون لين رجعنا الي المدينه ليخرجن الاعز منها الاذل
But to God belongs might, and to His messenger, and to the believers,
ولله العزه ولرسوله وللمومنين
but the hypocrites do not know.
ولكن المنفقين لا يعلمون
O you who have believed! Let not your goods or your children distract you from the remembrance of God.
يايها الذين امنوا لا تلهكم امولكم ولا اولدكم عن ذكر الله
And whoever does that — those are the losers.
ومن يفعل ذلك فاوليك هم الخسرون
And spend from what We have provided you before death comes to one of you, and he says: "My Guardian, if only You would adjourn me until a near term, that I might give in charity and be among those who are sound."
وانفقوا من ما رزقنكم من قبل ان ياتي احدكم الموت فيقول رب لولا اخرتني الي اجل قريب فاصدق واكن من الصلحين
But God will never adjourn a Self when its term has come.
ولن يوخر الله نفسا اذا جا اجلها
And God is Intimately Acquainted with what you do.
والله خبير بما تعملون
