Translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali — Permalink

Verse 1 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:1

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

Verse 2 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:2

They have made their oaths a screen (for their misdeeds): thus they obstruct (men) from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds

Verse 3 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:3

That is because they believed, then they rejected Faith: So a seal was set on their hearts: therefore they understand not

Verse 4 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:4

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.

Verse 8 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:8

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

Verse 9 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:9

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

Verse 10 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:10

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

Verse 11 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:11

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
