Verses[ 11 ] Revealed[ MADINA
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
063.001
Y: 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.
P: When the hypocrites come unto thee (O Muhammad), they say: We bear
witness that thou art indeed Allah's messenger. And Allah knoweth that
thou art indeed His messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the
hypocrites indeed are speaking falsely.
S: When the hypocrites come to you, they say: We bear witness that you
are most surely Allah's Messenger; and Allah knows that you are most
surely His Messenger, and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are
surely liars.
063.002
Y: They have made their oaths a screen (for their misdeeds): thus they
obstruct (men) from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds.
P: They make their faith a pretext so that they may turn (men) from the
way of Allah. Verily evil is that which they are wont to do,
S: They make their oaths a shelter, and thus turn away from Allah's way;
surely evil is that which they do.
063.003
Y: That is because they believed, then they rejected Faith: So a seal
was set on their hearts: therefore they understand not.
P: That is because they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their
hearts are sealed so that they understand not.
S: That is because they believe, then disbelieve, so a seal is set upon
their hearts so that they do not understand.
063.004
Y: 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)!
P: And when thou seest them their figures please thee; and if they speak
thou givest ear unto their speech. (They are) as though they were
blocks of wood in striped cloaks. They deem every shout to be against
them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah confound them! How
they are perverted!
S: And when you see them, their persons will please you, and If they
speak, you will listen to their speech; (they are) as if they were big
pieces of wood clad with garments; they think every cry to be against
them. They are the enemy, therefore beware of them; may Allah destroy
them, whence are they turned back?
063.005
Y: 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.
P: And when it is said unto them: Come! The messenger of Allah will ask
forgiveness for you! they avert their faces and thou seest them turning
away, disdainful.
S: And when it is said to them: Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask
forgiveness for you, they turn back their heads and you may see them
turning away while they are big with pride.
063.006
Y: It is equal to them whether thou pray for their forgiveness or not.
Allah will not forgive them. Truly Allah guides not rebellious
transgressors.
P: Whether thou ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them
is all one for them; Allah will not forgive them. Lo! Allah guideth not
the evil-living folk.
S: It is alike to them whether you beg forgiveness for them or do not
beg forgiveness for them; Allah will never forgive them; surely Allah
does not guide the transgressing people.
063.007
Y: 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.
P: They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with
Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when
Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the
hypocrites comprehend not.
S: They it is who say: Do not spend upon those who are with the
Messenger of Allah until they break up. And Allah's are the treasures
of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.
063.008
Y: 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.
P: They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon
drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His
messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.
S: They say: If we return to Medina, the mighty will surely drive out
the meaner therefrom; and to Allah belongs the might and to His
Messenger and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.
063.009
Y: 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.
P: O ye who believe! Let not your wealth nor your children distract you
from remembrance of Allah. Those who do so, they are the losers.
S: O you who believe! let not your wealth, or your children, divert you
from the remembrance of Allah; and whoever does that, these are the
losers.
063.010
Y: 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".
P: And spend of that wherewith We have provided you before death cometh
unto one of you and he saith: My Lord! If only thou wouldst reprieve me
for a little while, then I would give alms and be among the righteous.
S: And spend out of what We have given you before death comes to one of
you, so that he should say: My Lord! why didst Thou not respite me to a
near term, so that I should have given alms and been of the doers of
good deeds?
063.011
Y: 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.
P: But Allah reprieveth no soul when its term cometh, and Allah is
Informed of what ye do.
S: And Allah does not respite a soul when its appointed term has come,
and Allah is Aware of what you do.
