Sura 61
Aya 3
3
كَبُرَ مَقتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقولوا ما لا تَفعَلونَ

Ali Unal

Most odious it is in the sight of God that you say what you do not (and will not) do.1
  • The last two verses severely condemn saying one thing and doing another: i.e. breaking one’s promise, lying, and showing oneself to be different from what one really is. These are things that are incompatible with faith and which are signs of hypocrisy.
