Propped-up pieces of wood خشب مسنّدة
Summary and links in the frieze
In the frieze The hypocrites come to him, and God tells him what they hide and what they say among themselves.
Read just before, 64 leads here: Goods and children are but a trial; the next sura asks that they not distract you from the remembrance of God. 64
It leads to 62: The hypocrites wait for them to disperse; in the next sura, they disperse toward a trade and leave him standing. 62
Closes on “By the glorious Recitation”
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."
ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم ادا حاك المٮڡڡوں ڡالوا ٮسهد اٮك لرسول الله
And God knows that you are surely His messenger.
والله ٮعلم اٮك لرسوله
And God testifies that the hypocrites are surely liars.
والله ٮسهد اں المٮڡڡٮں لكدٮوں
They have taken their oaths as a shield and barred from the way of God.
اٮحدوا اٮمٮهم حٮه ڡصدوا عں سٮٮل الله
How evil is what they used to do!
اٮهم سا ما كاٮوا ٮعملوں
That is because they believed, then disowned; so their cores were stamped, and they do not understand.
دلك ٮاٮهم امٮوا ٮم كڡروا ڡطٮع على ڡلوٮهم ڡهم لا ٮڡڡهوں
And when you see them, their silhouettes dazzle you,
وادا راٮٮهم ٮعحٮك احسامهم
and if they say something, you listen to their saying; they are like propped-up pieces of wood.
واں ٮڡولوا ٮسمع لڡولهم كاٮهم حسٮ مسٮده
They think every cry is against them.
ٮحسٮوں كل صٮحه علٮهم
They are the enemy.
هم العدو
So beware of them.
ڡاحدرهم
May God combat them!
ڡٮلهم الله
How then are they turned away?
اٮى ٮوڡكوں
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.
وادا ڡٮل لهم ٮعالوا ٮسٮعڡر لكم رسول الله لووا روسهم وراٮٮهم ٮصدوں وهم مسٮكٮروں
It is the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them.
سوا علٮهم اسٮعڡرٮ لهم ام لم ٮسٮعڡر لهم
God will never forgive them,
لں ٮعڡر الله لهم
for God does not guide the people of the oversteppers.
اں الله لا ٮهدى الڡوم الڡسڡٮں
They are the ones who say: "Do not spend on those who are with the messenger of God until they disperse."
هم الدٮں ٮڡولوں لا ٮٮڡڡوا على مں عٮد رسول الله حٮى ٮٮڡصوا
But to God belong the treasuries of the heavens and the earth,
ولله حراٮں السموٮ والارص
but the hypocrites do not understand.
ولكں المٮڡڡٮں لا ٮڡڡهوں
They say: "If we return to the Capital, the mightier will surely expel the more humiliated therefrom."
ٮڡولوں لٮں رحعٮا الى المدٮٮه لٮحرحں الاعر مٮها الادل
But to God belongs might, and to His messenger, and to the believers,
ولله العره ولرسوله وللمومٮٮں
but the hypocrites do not know.
ولكں المٮڡڡٮں لا ٮعلموں
O you who have believed! Let not your goods or your children distract you from the remembrance of God.
ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لا ٮلهكم امولكم ولا اولدكم عں دكر الله
And whoever does that — those are the losers.
ومں ٮڡعل دلك ڡاولٮك هم الحسروں
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."
واٮڡڡوا مں ما ررڡٮكم مں ڡٮل اں ٮاٮى احدكم الموٮ ڡٮڡول رٮ لولا احرٮٮى الى احل ڡرٮٮ ڡاصدٯ واكں مں الصلحٮں
But God will never adjourn a Self when its term has come.
ولں ٮوحر الله ٮڡسا ادا حا احلها
And God is Intimately Acquainted with what you do.
والله حٮٮر ٮما ٮعملوں
