RECAP
Traits of the hypocrites (ayahs 8-10)
They try to deceive the believers
They lie
Have a disease in their hearts
They are not actually believers
Verse 11
Verse 11
Fasaad – 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 disobedience
1. 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 11
Sawlih – to put things right after they’ve
been corrupted
Hypocrites 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 13
Literally when something in weight and can be blown
away easily
Technically: 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 made
Losing out on the dunya; losing worldly benefits
They 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 Hypocrites
Hypocrites are scared to have their own identity
and of standing out in the crowd
Hypocrites 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 15
Allah 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
Hereafter
Madda Yamaddu: extending something
Tug’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” attitude
Not caring about any limits
The 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 profit
This transaction gave them no benefit at
all because they were neither on the
side of the believers or disbelievers
