RECAPTraits of the hypocrites (ayahs 8-10)They try to deceive the believers They lieHave a disease in their hearts They are not actually believers
Verse 11
Verse 11Fasaad – literally: when something goes bad;
technically: to cause corruption/disorders so things are not normal
Ard – applies to earth/area (not literally IN the earth); corruption on the earth is caused by acts of disobedience1. Physical earth: people lie to each other;
famine, pollution etc.2. Ahlul earth: dwellers of the earth; lying to
each other, killing, ruining relationships
Verse 11Sawlih – to put things right after
they’ve been corruptedHypocrites are unaware of their deeds;
they consider their wrong actions to be correct
Verse 12 A word that begins a sentence to:
alert the listener exclamation Prove authenticity
Hum – mentioned twice for emphasis and for confining only these people
Fasaad (Corruption)
Verse 13
Similar to; the people refers to the sahabas and the Prophet SAW; the hypocrites are calling the sahabas the “foolish ones”
An-Naas- refers to the sincere believers
– it’s a rhetorical question for the
purpose of negation; meaning we’re not going to believe and also to belittle proper imaan
Verse 13Literally when something in weight and can be blown away
easilyTechnically: a foolish person can be swayed easily; light in
their position and determination; WHY did the hypocrites call the believers foolish?
Because of the sacrifices the believers madeLosing out on the dunya; losing worldly benefitsThey listened to everything Allah SWT commanded them
However, Allah SWT calls the hypocrites the foolish ones
Characteristics of Hypocrites They think they are very high and proud, however, they will be in the
lowest depths of hell fire Good manners and understanding of the deen are not present in a
hypocrite (Prophet SAW) They are actually foolish because they only look at the temporary
benefit and lose out on the hereafter When he speaks, he tells a lie When he makes a promise, he breaks it When he is trusted with something, he breaks the trust Two-faced They make fun of other people, especially the believers
Ayah 14
Ayah 14 Laquu – coming face to face with someone; when
the hypocrites see the believers they immediately profess their religiosity and say we are believers
Khalaw – when they have secluded themselves with their evil ones; in order to take counsel and advice
Shaitaan – not only limited to Iblees; also from among the jinns and humans; anyone who is of evil nature; they command evil, incite evil and wrong. Over here it refers to their evil leaders because they
command the masses to disobey Allah SWT Hypocrites are lowly and scared all the time because
they tell the Muslims they’re with them and when they are with the disbelievers , they say they are with him
Verse 14 (continued…)Istihzaa
to make fun of someone upon considering them to be of little importance and value.
Laughing at someone because of something they’re doing that doesn’t make sense to you.
Characteristics of HypocritesHypocrites are scared to have their own
identity and of standing out in the crowdHypocrites are not sincere to anyone (to others
or even to their own group, or to Allah SWT)When they come to their leaders they say “We
were just joking, we’re actually with you”Hypocrites make fun of others behind their
back
Verse 15
Verse 15Allah mocks at them – Mushaakila: the
word that is used to describe the offence is also used to describe the punishment for the offence
Allah SWT has the power to take revenge on them, therefore, Allah SWT is defending the believers
Verse 15 (Continued)…Literally the hypocrites will be mocked at in the
HereafterMadda Yamaddu: extending somethingTug’yaaneehim: crossing the bounds of
something; the person doesn’t care about the limits Allah SWT lets them do whatever they want to do,
doesn’t punish them immediately so they think they’re right
Connection with sealing of the hearts
Verse 15 (Continued)…Blindness of the heart; a state of
confusion/lost. Their state of being engrossed in wrong deeds“I don’t care” attitudeNot caring about any limitsThe believers, however, do care
Verse 16
Verse 16
To show how far the hypocrites are from the sight of Allah SWT
they have purchased misguidance; if you give your money to buy something you’re giving that something more value than your own hard worked money (you don’t mind spending $200/$300 for example) The hypocrites prefer disbelief over belief Preferring doubt over certainty and imaan
Verse 16 (Continued)…Rabaha – to gain some profitThis transaction gave them no benefit
at all because they were neither on the side of the believers or disbelievers
