Surah 63. Al-Munafiqun, Ayah 1
| إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُ وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَكَاذِبُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | 'idhaa jaa'a -ka al- munaafiqon qaalo nashhad 'inna -ka li- rasol 'allaah wa- 'allaah yaclam 'inna -ka la- rasol -hu wa- 'allaah yashhad 'inna al- munaafiqen la- kaadhibon |
| Pickthall | : | When the hypocrites come unto thee (O Muhammad), they say: We bear witness that thou art indeed Allah's messenger. And Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the Hypocrites are speaking falsely. |
| Asad | : | WHEN THE HYPOCRITES come unto thee, they say, "We bear witness that thou art indeed God's Apostle!" But God knows that thou art truly His Apostle; and He bears witness that the hypocrites are indeed false [in their declaration of faith]. |
| Malik | : | When the hypocrites come to you, they say: "We bear witness that you are indeed the Rasool of Allah." Allah knows that you are indeed His Rasool, and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | When the Hypocrites come to thee they say "We bear witness that thou art indeed the Apostle of Allah." Yea Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His Apostle and Allah beareth witness that the Hypocrites are indeed liars. 5466 |
Note - 5466The hypocrite element, if one exists in any society, is a
source of weakness and a danger to its health and its
very existence. When the holy Prophet came to Madinah in
Hijrat, his arrival was welcome to all the patriotic
citizens: it not only united them in common life and
healed their old differences, but it brought honour and
light to them in the person of the greatest living
Prophet. But there were some baser elements filled with
envy. Such hopes as they had entertained of attaining
power and leadership by playing on the animosities of the
factions were now dashed to the ground. They now began to
work underground. For fear of the majority they dared not
oppose the new growing Brotherhood of Righteousness. They
tried to undermine it by intriguing secretly with its
enemies and swearing openly its loyalty to the holy
Prophet. They were thoroughly unmasked and discredited at
the battle of Uhud. See iii. 167, and n. 476.
