Sura 2
Aya 13
13
وَإِذا قيلَ لَهُم آمِنوا كَما آمَنَ النّاسُ قالوا أَنُؤمِنُ كَما آمَنَ السُّفَهاءُ ۗ أَلا إِنَّهُم هُمُ السُّفَهاءُ وَلٰكِن لا يَعلَمونَ

Yusuf Ali

  • This is another phase of the hypocrite and the cynic. “Faith,” he says, “is good enough to fools.” But his cynicism may be the greatest folly in the eyes of God.
