Subject: Surah 63, The Hypocrites
Surah 63. The Hypocrites
1. When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say, "We bear witness that thou art
indeed the Messenger of Allah." Yea, Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His
Messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the Hypocrites are indeed liars.
2. They have made their oaths a screen (for their misdeeds): thus they obstruct
(men) from the Path of Allah. truly evil are their deeds.
3. That is because they believed, then they rejected Faith: So a seal was set
on their hearts: therefore they understand not.
4. When thou lookest at them, their exteriors please thee; and when they speak,
thou listenest to their words. They are as (worthless as hollow) pieces of
timber propped up, (unable to stand on their own). They think that every cry is
against them. They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be on
them! How are they deluded (away from the Truth)!
5. And when it is said to them, "Come, the Messenger of Allah will pray for
your forgiveness", they turn aside their heads, and thou wouldst see them
turning away their faces in arrogance.
6. It is equal to them whether thou pray for their forgiveness or not. Allah
will not forgive them. Truly Allah guides not rebellious transgressors.
7. They are the ones who say, "Spend nothing on those who are with Allah.s
Messenger, to the end that they may disperse (and quit Medina)." But to Allah
belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the Hypocrites
understand not.
8. They say, "If we return to Medina, surely the more honourable (element) will
expel therefrom the meaner." But honour belongs to Allah and His Messenger, and
to the Believers; but the Hypocrites know not.
9. O ye who believe! Let not your riches or your children divert you from the
remembrance of Allah. If any act thus, the loss is their own.
10. and spend something (in charity) out of the substance which We have
bestowed on you, before Death should come to any of you and he should say, "O
my Lord! why didst Thou not give me respite for a little while? I should then
have given (largely) in charity, and I should have been one of the doers of
good".
11. But to no soul will Allah grant respite when the time appointed (for it)
has come; and Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
