--- |

| 63:1 | | When the hypocrites come to you they say, ´We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah.´ Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are certainly liars. | | 63:2 | | They have made their oaths into a cloak and barred the Way of Allah. What they have done is truly evil. | | 63:3 | | That is because they have had iman and then returned to kufr. So their hearts have been sealed up and they cannot understand. | | 63:4 | | When you see them, their outward form appeals to you, and if they speak you listen to what they say. But they are like propped-up planks of wood. They imagine every cry to be against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah fight them! How they are perverted! | | 63:5 | | When they are told, ´Come, and the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you,´ they turn their heads and you see them turn away in haughty arrogance. | | 63:6 | | In their case it makes no difference whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them. Allah will never forgive them. Allah does not guide deviant people. | | 63:7 | | They are the people who say, ´Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah, so that they may go away.´ The treasuries of the heavens and earth belong to Allah. But the hypocrites do not understand this. | | 63:8 | | They say, ´If we return to Madina, the mightier will drive out the inferior.´ But all might belongs to Allah and to His Messenger and the muminun. But the hypocrites do not know this. | | 63:9 | | You who have iman! do not let your wealth or children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. Whoever does that is lost. | | 63:10 | | Give from what We have provided for you before death comes to one of you and he says, ´My Lord, if only you would give me a little more time so that I can give sadaqa and be one of the righteous!´ | | 63:11 | | Allah will not give anyone more time, once their time has come. Allah is aware of what you do. |
