Surah Al-Munafiqun

اِذَا جَاۤءَكَ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ قَالُوْا نَشْهَدُ اِنَّكَ لَرَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ ۘوَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اِنَّكَ لَرَسُوْلُهٗ ۗوَاللّٰهُ يَشْهَدُ اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَكٰذِبُوْنَۚ ۝١

Iżā jā-akal-munāfiqūna qōlū nasyhadu innaka larosūlullāh, wallāhu ya‘lamu innaka larosūluh, wallāhu yasyhadu innal-munāfiqīna lakāżibūn

1. When the hypocrites come to you, they say, “We bear witness that you are Allah’s Messenger.” Allah knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars.

اِتَّخَذُوْٓا اَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهُمْ سَاۤءَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٢

Ittakhożū aimānahum junnatan faṣoddū ‘an sabīlillāh, innahum sā-a mā kānū ya‘malūn

2. They treat their oaths as a cover, and so they repel others from Allah’s path. Evil is what they do.

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا فَطُبِعَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ ۝٣

Żālika bi'annahum āmanū ṡumma kafarū faṭubi‘a ‘alā qulūbihim fahum lā yafqohūn

3. That is because they believed, and then disbelieved; so their hearts were sealed, and they cannot understand.

وَاِذَا رَاَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ اَجْسَامُهُمْۗ وَاِنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْۗ كَاَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ ۗيَحْسَبُوْنَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْۗ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْۗ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۖاَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُوْنَ ۝٤

Wa iżā ro'aitahum tu‘jibuka ajsāmuhum, wa iy yaqūlū tasma‘ liqoulihim, ka'annahum khusyubum musannadah, yaḥsabūna kulla ṣoiḥatin ‘alaihim, humul-‘aduwwu faḥżarhum, qōtalahumullāh, annā yu'fakūn

4. When you see them, their appearance impresses you. And when they speak, you listen to what they say. They are like propped-up timber. They think every shout is aimed at them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah condemns them; how deluded they are!

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ لَوَّوْا رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَرَاَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّوْنَ وَهُمْ مُّسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ ۝٥

Wa iżā qīla lahum ta‘ālau yastaghfir lakum rosūlullāhi lawwau ru'ūsahum wa ro'aitahum yaṣuddūna wa hum mustakbirūn

5. And when it is said to them, “Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you,” they bend their heads, and you see them turning away arrogantly.

سَوَاۤءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ اَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ اَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْۗ لَنْ يَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ ۝٦

Sawā-un ‘alaihim astaghfarta lahum am lam tastaghfir lahum, lay yaghfirollāhu lahum, innallāha lā yahdil-qoumal-fāsiqīn

6. It is the same for them, whether you ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; Allah will not forgive them. Allah does not guide the sinful people.

هُمُ الَّذِيْنَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَا تُنْفِقُوْا عَلٰى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ حَتّٰى يَنْفَضُّوْاۗ وَلِلّٰهِ خَزَاۤىِٕنُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۙ وَلٰكِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ ۝٧

Humul-lażīna yaqūlūna lā tunfiqū ‘alā man ‘inda rosūlillāhi ḥattā yanfaḍḍū, wa lillāhi khozā-inus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa lākinnal-munāfiqīna lā yafqohūn

7. It is they who say, “Do not spend anything on those who side with Allah’s Messenger, unless they have dispersed.” To Allah belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.

يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَىِٕنْ رَّجَعْنَآ اِلَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْاَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْاَذَلَّ ۗوَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُوْلِهٖ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَلٰكِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٨

Yaqūlūna la'ir roja‘nā ilal-madīnati layukhrijannal-a‘azzu minhal-ażall, wa lillāhil-‘izzatu wa lirosūlihī wa lil-mu'minīna wa lākinnal-munāfiqīna lā ya‘lamūn

8. They say, “If we return to the City, the more powerful therein will evict the weak.” But power belongs to Allah, and His Messenger, and the believers; but the hypocrites do not know.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَآ اَوْلَادُكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ۚوَمَنْ يَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ۝٩

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tulhikum amwālukum wa lā aulādukum ‘an żikrillāh, wa may yaf‘al żālika fa ulā-ika humul-khōsirūn

9. O you who believe! Let neither your possessions nor your children distract you from the remembrance of Allah. Whoever does that—these are the losers.

وَاَنْفِقُوْا مِنْ مَّا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقُوْلَ رَبِّ لَوْلَآ اَخَّرْتَنِيْٓ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ قَرِيْبٍۚ فَاَصَّدَّقَ وَاَكُنْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۝١٠

Wa anfiqū mimmā rozaqnākum min qobli ay ya'tiya aḥadakumul-mautu fa yaqūla robbi lau lā akhkhortanī ilā ajalin qorīb, fa aṣṣoddaqo wa akum minaṣ-ṣōliḥīn

10. And give from what We have provided for you, before death approaches one of you, and he says, “My Lord, if only You would delay me for a short while, so that I may be charitable, and be one of the righteous.”

وَلَنْ يُّؤَخِّرَ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِذَا جَاۤءَ اَجَلُهَاۗ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ ۝١١

Wa lay yu'akhkhirollāhu nafsan iżā jā-a ajaluhā, wallāhu khobīrum bimā ta‘malūn

11. But Allah will not delay a soul when its time has come. Allah is Informed of what you do.
