Surah: 63. al-Munafiqun

O you who believe do not let your possessions and your children divert you distract you from the remembrance of God from the five prayers; for whoever does that — it is they who are the losers.

And expend in alms of that with which We have provided you before death comes to any of you whereat he will say ‘My Lord if only law-lā means hal-lā ‘why do You not’; or the lā is extra and the law is optative You would reprieve me for a short time so that I […]

But God will never reprieve a soul when its term has come. And God is Aware of what you do ta‘malūna; also read as the third person plural ya‘malūna ‘they do’.

They have taken their oaths as a shield as a means of protection for their possessions and their lives and so they have barred thereby from the way of God that is from using them for the struggle. Evil indeed is that which they are wont to do.

That namely their evil deed is because they believed by affirming faith only with the tongue then disbelieved in their hearts that is to say they persist in harbouring disbelief in it; therefore their hearts have been stamped sealed with disbelief. Hence they do not understand faith.

And when you see them their figures please you on account of their fairness; and if they speak you listen to their speech because of its eloquence. Yet they are by virtue of the enormous size of their figures yet in their lack of comprehension like blocks of timber read khushbun or khushubun that have […]

And when it is said to them ‘Come offer apologies and God’s Messenger will ask forgiveness for you’ they twist read lawwaw or lawū they turn their heads and you see them turning away rejecting this offer disdainful.
