Verse 1 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:1

WHEN THE HYPOCRITES come to you, they say: "We affirm that you are the Apostle of God." God indeed knows you are His Apostle. God bears witness that the hypocrites are indeed liars

Verse 2 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:2

They have made their oaths a shield in order to obstruct others from the way of God. It is certainly evil what they do

Verse 3 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:3

That is because they came to believe, and then renounced (their faith). So their hearts were sealed; and now they do not understand

Verse 4 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:4

Verse 9 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:9

Verse 10 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:10

Verse 11 — Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:11

But God does not grant a soul respite once its term has come to end. And God is aware of what you do
