63:1  When the hypocrites approached you, they said: “We bear witness, surely you are indeed Messenger of Allah.” And Allah Knows, surely you are indeed His Messenger, and Allah bears witness, surely the hypocrites are indeed liars

63:2  They have picked up their oaths as a shield, so they have hindered (people) from the Path of Allah. Surely they: evil is what they used to practice

63:3  That (is the situation) because they accepted Faith, later on they rejected belief; then a seal got fixed on their hearts, so they do not think or understand

63:4  And when you looked at them, their bodies put you to wonder; and if they speak you become attentive to their statement. They are (worthless) pieces of timber, propped up, (unable to stand on their own). They regard every powerful sound against them. They are the enemy (of Islam and Al-Kitab) — so take protection against them. Allah has condemed them. Where are they being misled in falsehood

63:5  And when it is said to them: “Come, Messenger of Allah will seek forgiveness for you,” they turned their heads aside and you saw them: they hinder (from the path) and they are those who are in pride and arrogance

63:6  (It is) equal for them whether you asked forgiveness for them or you do not seek forgiveness for them; Allah never forgives them. Verily, Allah does not guide the nation of Al-Fasiqun

63:7  They are the ones who say: “Spend not on those who are in presence of Allah’s Messenger until they desert (him).” And to Allah belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand

63:8  They say: “Surely, if we returned towards Al-Madinah, indeed, the more honourable (of this capital-city) will expel therefrom that who stands at the lowest strata of the society”. And to Allah (goes) the real honour, and to His Messenger and to the Believers. But the hypocrites do not know (the priorities in a Muslim state)

63:9  O you who have Believed! Let not your possessions, and nor your children divert you against Zikr (‘Message’) of Allah. And whosoever does that, then those people; they (are) the losers

63:10  And spend out of that which We have bestowed on you as provision before (the stage) that death approaches any one of you, and he may say: 'My Nourisher-Sustainer! Why did You not give me respite for a little while so that I may give donation (in the Way of Allah), and I become of those who are righteous?

63:11  And Allah will never give respite to (any) Nafs when her appointed time (for death) has approached. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do
