Sura 63-Al Munafiqun The Hypocrites
63:1-When the Hypocrites come to thee they say "We bear witness that thou art indeed the Apostle of Allah." Yea Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His Apostle and Allah beareth witness that the Hypocrites are indeed liars. 5466
THE HYPOCRITE ELEMENT, IF ONE EXISTS IN ANY SOCIETY, IS A SOURCE OF WEAKNESS AND A DANGER TO ITS HEALTH AND ITS VERY EXISTENCE.
63:1. (நபியே! உள்ளொன்று வைத்துப் புறமொன்று பேசும்) நயவஞ்சகர்கள் உங்களிடம் வந்து, "நிச்சயமாக நீங்கள் அல்லாஹ்வுடைய தூதர்தான் என்று நாங்கள் சாட்சி கூறுகின்றோம்" என்பதாகக் கூறுகின்றனர். நிச்சயமாக நீங்கள் அல்லாஹ்வுடைய தூதர் என்பதை அல்லாஹ் நன்கறிவான். எனினும், இந்த நயவஞ்சகர்கள் நிச்சயமாகப் பொய்யையே கூறுகின்றனர் என்று அல்லாஹ் சாட்சியம் கூறுகின்றான்.
Signs and Traits of the hypocrites as is described in The Quran
Translated by Yahya Adel Ibrahim
* Traits: Causing Corruption and Mischief upon the earth
* பண்புக்கூறுகள்: பூமியில் ஊழல் மற்றும் அபாயத்தை ஏற்படுத்துதல்
"And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: ‘We are only peacemakers.’ Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not." Al-Baqarah 2:11,12
* Trait: Inspiring one another with evil words
"And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies - Shayâtin (devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord had so willed, they would not have done it, so leave them alone with their fabrications." Al-An‘âm 6:112
* Traits: Deception and Mendacity
"They (think to) deceive Allâh and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not!" al-Baqarah 2:9
* Traits: Mocking the believers
"And when they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe," but when they are alone with their Shayâtin (devils - polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: "Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking." Al-Baqarah 2:14
* Traits: Laziness, heedlessness and forgetfulness of Allâh
"Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allâh, but it is He Who deceives them. And when they stand up for As-Salât (the prayer), they stand with laziness and to be seen of men, and they do not remember Allâh but little." An-Nisâ (4:142)
* Trait: Squandering their mental faculties to use in sin
"They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path)." Al-Baqarah 2:18
* Traits: They lay in wait to chastise and defame the believers
"Those (hyprocrites) who wait and watch about you; if you gain a victory from Allâh, they say: "Were we not with you," but if the disbelievers gain a success, they say (to them): "Did we not gain mastery over you and did we not protect you from the believers?" Allâh will judge between you (all) on the Day of Resurrection. And never will Allâh grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers." An-Nisâ 4:141
* Trait: Rejection of the Hukm (rulings) of Allah and His Prophet.
"And when it is said to them: "Come to what Allâh has sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)," you (Muhammad SAW) see the hypocrites turn away from you (Muhammad SAW) with aversion." An-Nisâ 4:61
* Traits: Seeking to rationalize and explain their sinful deeds when they are confronted with the evilness of their actions. They seek to conceal their evil intentions by swearing that their sinful deeds were unintentional.
"How then, when a catastrophe befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth, they come to you swearing by Allâh, "We meant no more than goodwill and conciliation!" an-Nisâ 4:62
"They have made their oaths a screen (for their evil actions). Thus they hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh, so they shall have a humiliating torment." Al-Mujadilah 58:16
* Traits: Focusing on the visible ornaments and beautifications. They are eloquent speakers who do not act upon their many words. They weave mirages of sensibility and grandeur.
"And when you look at them, their bodies please you; and when they speak, you listen to their words. They are as blocks of wood propped up. They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies, so beware of them. May Allâh curse them! How are they denying (or deviating from) the Right Path." Al-Munafiqûn 63:4
* Trait: They rejoice at the misfortune and sadness of the believers.
"If good befalls you (O Muhammad SAW), it grieves them, but if a calamity overtakes you, they say: "We took our precaution beforehand," and they turn away rejoicing." At-Taubah 9:50
* Trait: Seeking to please humanity at the expense of displeasing Allah.
"They (the hypocrites) swear to you (Muslims) that you may be pleased with them, but if you are pleased with them, certainly Allâh is not pleased with the people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh)." At-Taubah 9:96
* Trait: Mocking and defaming the believers
"Those who defame such of the believers who give charity (in Allâh's Cause) voluntarily, and those who could not find to give charity (in Allâh's Cause) except what is available to them, so they mock at them (believers), Allâh will throw back their mockery on them, and they shallhave a painful torment." At-Taubah 9:79
* Trait: They discourage the believers from fighting the disbelievers. They seek to cause discord and Fitnah in the ranks of the believers and spread corruption and mischief throughout the earth. As such Allah ordained upon them that they not join the believers in the battles (out of their own fears).
"And if they had intended to march out, certainly, they would have made some preparation for it, but Allâh was averse to their being sent forth, so He made them lag behind, and it was said (to them), "Sit you among those who sit (at home). Had they marched out with you, they would have added to you nothing except disorder, and they would have hurried about in your midst (spreading corruption) and sowing sedition among you, and there are some among you who would have listened to them. And Allâh is the All-Knower of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)." at-Taubah 9:46,47
* Trait: They seek the future in the present, the temporal rather than the permanent and the finite happiness to the infinite pleasure. They are the foremost in seeking share from the spoils while being the last in earning them by setting out for Jihad.
"Had it been a near gain (booty in front of them) and an easy journey, they would have followed you, but the distance (Tabuk expedition) was long for them, and they would swear by Allâh, "If we only could, we would certainly have come forth with you." They destroy their ownselves, and Allâh knows that they are liars." At-Taubah 9:42
63:2-They have made their oaths a screen (for their misdeeds): thus they obstruct (men) from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds. 5467
63:2. (தவிர, இவர்கள்) தங்களுடைய (பொய்ச்) சத்தியங்களை ஒரு கேடயமாக வைத்துக் கொண்டு (மக்களை) அல்லாஹ்வுடைய பாதையிலிருந்து தடுக்கின்றனர். நிச்சயமாக இவர்கள் செய்து கொண்டிருக்கும் காரியம் மகாகெட்டது.
63:9-O ye who believe! let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. If any act thus the loss is their own. 5476
Riches and human resources of all kind are but fleeting sources of enjoyment. They should not turn away the good man from his devotion to Allah.
REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH:
Includes every act of service and goodness, every kind thought and kind deed, for this is the service and sacrifice which Allah requires of us. If we fail in this, the loss is our own, not anyone else’s or it stunts our own spiritual growth.
அனைத்து வகையான செல்வங்களும் மனித வளங்களும் மகிழ்ச்சியளிக்கும் ஆதார ஆதாரங்களாக இருக்கின்றன. நபி (ஸல்) அவர்கள் அல்லாஹ்வின் பக்தியிலிருந்து விலகி இருக்க மாட்டார்கள்.
அல்லாஹ்வின் மீளுதல்:
ஒவ்வொரு செயலுக்கும், நன்மையுடனும், ஒவ்வொரு வகையான சிந்தனையுடனும், தயவிலும் அடங்கும், இதுவே கடவுள் நமக்கு தேவைப்படும் சேவை மற்றும் தியாகம். இதை நாம் தோல்வியடையச் செய்தால், இழப்பு நம் சொந்தமாகும், வேறு எவரும் இல்லையென்றால், அது நம் சொந்த ஆன்மீக வளர்ச்சியைத் தோற்றுவிக்கிறது
63:10-And spend something (in charity) out of the substance which We have bestowed on you before death should come to any of you and he should say
"O my Lord! why didst thou not give me respite for a little while? I should then have given (largely) in charity and I should have been one of the
doers of good." 5477
Every unselfish act is CHARITY. Death may come suddenly on us. ஒவ்வொரு தன்னலமற்ற செயல் குற்றம். மரணம் நம்மீது திடீரென வரலாம்.
63:10. உங்களுக்கு மரணம் வருவதற்கு முன்பாகவே, நாம் உங்களுக்குக் கொடுத்தவைகளிலிருந்து தானம் செய்யுங்கள். (அவ்வாறு செய்யாதவன் மரணிக்கும் சமயத்தில்,) "என் இறைவனே! ஒரு சொற்ப காலத்திற்கு என்னை விட்டுவைக்க வேண்டாமா? (அவ்வாறு விட்டால்,) நான் தானமும் செய்வேன்; (நன்மைகளைச் செய்து) நல்லோர்களிலும் ஆகிவிடுவேன்" என்று கூறுவான்.
63:11-But to no soul will Allah grant respite when the time appointed (for it) has come: and Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do. 5478
63:11. (எனினும்) யாதொரு ஆத்மாவுடைய (மரணத்தின்) தவணை வரும் பட்சத்தில் அதனை அல்லாஹ் பிற்படுத்தவே மாட்டான். நீங்கள் செய்பவைகளை அல்லாஹ் நன்கறிந்தே இருக்கின்றான்.
