The Hypocritesal-Munāfiqūn ( المنافقون )

11 verses • revealed at Medinan

»The surah that declares that God bears witness that the false profession of faith by The Hypocrites is uttered only as a screen to hide their duplicity. It takes its name from its main topic, “the hypocrites” (munāfiqūn). The surah warns the believers about the treachery of the hypocrites and describes their behaviour in some detail. A specific occasion on which the hypocrites tried to stop anyone donating money to believers is described (verse 7 ff.) and God calls on the Muslims to compensate for this by giving more of their own funds to the needy (verse 9 ff.).«

Salomon Keyzer: In naam van den lankmoedigen en albarmhartigen God.

إِذا جاءَكَ المُنافِقونَ قالوا نَشهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسولُ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسولُهُ وَاللَّهُ يَشهَدُ إِنَّ المُنافِقينَ لَكاذِبونَ

Salomon Keyzer

Als de huichelaars tot u komen, zeggen zij: Wij leggen de getuigenis af, dat gij werkelijk Gods gezant zijt. En God weet, dat gij inderdaad zijn gezant zijt; maar God legt de getuigenis af, dat de huichelaars zekerlijk leugenaars zijn.
