Sacred Books

Ayat 1 - WHEN THE HYPOCRITES come to you, they say: "We affirm that you are the Apostle of God." God indeed knows you are His Apostle. God bears witness that the hypocrites are indeed liars.

Ayat 2 - They have made their oaths a shield in order to obstruct others from the way of God. It is certainly evil what they do.

Ayat 3 - That is because they came to believe, and then renounced (their faith). So their hearts were sealed; and now they do not understand.

Ayat 4 - Pleasing seem their persons when you look at them; and when they talk, you listen to their speech. Yet they are like the wooden panelling of a wall. They imagine every rebuke to be directed against them. They are the enemies, beware of them. May God damn them, how pervert are they!

Ayat 5 - When you tell them: "Come, let the Apostle of God ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads, and you see them turning away with arrogance.

Ayat 6 - Whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask, it is all the same; God will not forgive them. Surely God does not show a disobedient people the way.

Ayat 7 - They are the ones who say: "Do not spend on those who are with the Apostle of God till they break away (from him)." To God belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites do not understand.

Ayat 8 - They say: "If we now go back to Madina, the stronger will turn the weaker out." But power belongs to God, His Apostle and the faithful, though the hypocrites do not know.

Ayat 9 - O you who believe, let not your wealth and children make you negligent of the remembrance of God. Those who do so will be losers.

Ayat 10 - Spend of what We have given you before death comes to one of you, when he will say: "O Lord, why did you not defer my term for a while that I could give alms and be among the doers of good?"

Ayat 11 - But God does not grant a soul respite once its term has come to end. And God is aware of what you do.
