Surah 5. Al-Maida, Ayah 53
| وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَهَٰؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ ۙ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَعَكُمْ ۚ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا خَاسِرِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | 'a- fa- h.ukm al- jaahileyah yabghon wa- man ah.san min 'allaah h.ukm(an) li- qawm yoqinon |
| Pickthall | : | Then will the believers say (unto the people of the Scripture): Are these they who swore by Allah their most binding oaths that they were surely with you? Their works have failed, and they have become the losers. |
| Asad | : | while those who have attained to faith will say [to one another], "Are these the self-same people who swore by God with their most solemn oaths that they were indeed with you? In vain are all their works, for now they are lost!" |
| Malik | : | At that time the believers will say: "Are these the same people who solemnly swore by Allah that they would stand beside you?" As a result all their deeds will be voided and they will become losers. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And those who believe will say: "Are these the men who swore their strongest oaths by Allah that they were with you?" All that they do will be in vain and they will fall into (nothing but) ruin. 766 |
Note - 766The Hypocrites, while matters were doubtful, pretended to
be with Muslims, but were in league with their enemies.
When matters came to a decision and Allah granted victory
to Islam, their position was awkward. They were not only
disowned by the Muslims, but the Muslims could well say
in reproach to their enemies: "Are these the men who
swore friendship for you? What was their friendship worth
to you? Where are they now?"
