Al-Munafiqun

When the hypocrites come to you, they say, “We bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah.” Allah knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars. They use their oaths as a shield and turn people away from the path of Allah. They believed and then disbelieved, so their hearts were sealed and they do not understand. When you see them, their looks impress you, and when they speak, you listen to their words, but they are like propped-up blocks of timber. They think every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. When they are told, “Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you,” they turn their heads away in arrogance. It is the same whether you ask forgiveness for them or not: Allah will not forgive them. They are the ones who say, “Do not spend on those who are with Allah’s Messenger until they leave him,” though the treasures of the heavens and the earth belong to Allah. They say, “If we return to Madinah, the more honourable will drive out the lowly,” but honour belongs to Allah, His Messenger and the believers. O you who believe, do not let your wealth and your children distract you from the remembrance of Allah; whoever does so are the losers. Spend from what We have given you before death comes to one of you and he says, “My Lord, if only You would delay me a little while, I would give in charity and be one of the righteous.” But Allah never delays a soul when its time has come, and Allah knows well what you do.
