Al-Munafiqun

إِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ قَالُوا۟ نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ

ʹIẓaa jaaaʹakal MUNAAFIQ̣OONA q̣aaloo nashhadu ʹinnaka la-Rasoolul laah. Wallaahu yaʻlamu ʹinnaka la-Rasooluh: wallaahu yashhadu ʹinnal Munaafiq̣eena lakaaẓiboon.

When the hypocrites come to you, [O Muḥammad], they say, "We testify that you are the Messenger of Allāh." And Allāh knows that you are His Messenger, and Allāh testifies that the hypocrites are liars.

ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَيْمَـٰنَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

ʹIttakhaẓooo ʹaymaanahum junnatañ faṣaddoo ʻañ Sabeelil laah: ʹinnahum saaaʹa maa- kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allāh. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ءَامَنُوا۟ ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا۟ فَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ

Ẓaalika biʹannahum ʹaamanoo s̤umma kafaroo faṭubiʻa ʻalaa q̣uloobihim fahum laa- yafq̣ahoon.

That is because they believed, and then they disbelieved; so their hearts were sealed over, and they do not understand.

۞ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَقُولُوا۟ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ ۖ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ ۖ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ هُمُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فَٱحْذَرْهُمْ ۚ قَـٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa raʹaytahum tuʻjibuka ʹajsaamuhum; wa-ʹiñy yaq̣ooloo tasmaʻ liq̣awlihim: Kaʹannahum khushubum musannadah. Yaḥsaboona kulla ṣayḥatin ʻalayhim. Humul ʻaduwwu faḥẓarhum. Q̣aatalahumul laah! ʹAnnaa yuʹfakoon!

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 Allāh destroy them; how are they deluded?

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا۟ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ لَوَّوْا۟ رُءُوسَهُمْ وَرَأَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa q̣eela lahum taʻaalaw yastag̣fir lakum Rasoolul laahi lawwaw ruʹoosahum wa-raʹaytahum yaṣuddoona wa-hum mustakbiroon.

And when it is said to them, "Come, the Messenger of Allāh will ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads aside and you see them evading while they are arrogant.

سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ

Sawaaaʹun ʻalayhim ʹastag̣farta lahum ʹam lam tastag̣fir lahum. Lañy yag̣firal laahu lahum. ʹInnal laaha laa- yahdil q̣awmal faasiq̣een.

It is all the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; never will Allāh forgive them. Indeed, Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنفِقُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَنْ عِندَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ حَتَّىٰ يَنفَضُّوا۟ ۗ وَلِلَّهِ خَزَآئِنُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ

Humul laẓeena yaq̣ooloona laa- tuñfiq̣oo ʻalaa man ʻiñda Rasoolil laahi ḥattaa yañfaḍḍoo. Wa-lillaahi khazaaaʹinus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi walaakinnal Munaafiq̣eena laa- yafq̣ahoon.

They are the ones who say, "Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allāh until they disband." And to Allāh belong the depositories of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.

يَقُولُونَ لَئِن رَّجَعْنَآ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ ٱلْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا ٱلْأَذَلَّ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Yaq̣ooloona laʹir rajaʻnaaa ʹilal Madeenati layukhrijannal ʹaʻazzu minhal ʹaẓall. Wa-lillaahil ʻizzatu wa-li-Rasoolihee wa-lil-Muʹmineena walaakinnal Munaafiq̣eena laa- yaʻlamoon.

They say, "If we return to al-Madīnah, the more honored [for power] will surely expel therefrom the more humble." And to Allāh belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanoo laa- tulhikum ʹamwaalukum wa-laaa ʹawlaadukum ʻañ-Ẓik ril laah. Wa-mañy yafʻal ẓaalika faʹulaaaʹika humul khaasiroon.

O you who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from the remembrance of Allāh. And whoever does that - then those are the losers.

وَأَنفِقُوا۟ مِن مَّا رَزَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَآ أَخَّرْتَنِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

Wa-ʹañfiq̣oo mim maa razaq̣naakum miñ q̣abli ʹañy yaʹtiya ʹaḥadakumul Mawtu fayaq̣oola Rabbi Law-laaa ʹakhkhartaneee ʹilaaa ʹajaliñ q̣areebiñ faʹaṣṣaddaq̣a wa-ʹakum minaṣ Ṣaaliḥeen.

And spend [in the way of Allāh] 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 of the righteous."

وَلَن يُؤَخِّرَ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهَا ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Wa-lañy yuʹakhkhiral laahu nafsan ʹiẓaa jaaaʹa ʹajaluhaa; Wallaahu khabeerum bimaa taʻmaloon.

But never will Allāh delay a soul when its time has come. And Allāh is Aware of what you do.
