Inna almunafiqeena yukhadiAAoona Allaha wahuwa khadiAAuhum wa-itha qamoo ila alssalati qamoo kusala yuraoona alnnasa wala yathkuroona Allaha illa qaleelan\n142. The Hypocrites\u2014they think\n They are over-reaching God,\n But He will over-reach them:\n When they stand up to prayer,\n They stand without earnestness,\n To be seen of men,\n But little do they hold\n God in remembrance;\n143. Muthabthabeena bayna thalika la ila haola-i wala ila haola-i waman yudlili Allahu falan tajida lahu sabeelan\n143. (They are) distracted in mind\n Even in the midst of it,\u2014\n Being (sincerely) for neither\n One group nor for another.\n Whom God leaves straying,\u2014\n Never wilt thou find\nFor him the Way.\n144. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattakhithoo alkafireena awliyaa min dooni almu/mineena atureedoona an tajAAaloo lillahi AAalaykum sultanan mubeenan\n144. O ye who believe!\n Take not for friends\n Unbelievers rather than\n Believers: do ye wish\n To offer God an open\n Proof against yourselves?\n145. Inna almunafiqeena fee alddarki al-asfali mina alnnari walan tajida lahum naseeran\n145. The Hypocrites will be\n In the lowest depths\n Of the Fire: no helper\n Wilt thou find for them;\u2014\n146. Illa allatheena taboo waaslahoo waiAAtasamoo biAllahi waakhlasoo deenahum lillahi faola-ika maAAa almu/mineena wasawfa yu/ti Allahu almu/mineena ajran AAatheeman\n146. Except for those who repent,\n Mend (their life), hold fast\n To God, and purify their religion\n As in God's sight: if so\n They will be (numbered)\n With the Believers.\n And soon will God\n Grant to the Believers\n A reward of immense value.\n147. Ma yafAAalu Allahu biAAathabikum in shakartum waamantum wakana Allahu shakiran AAaleeman\n147. What can God gain\n By your punishment,\n If ye are grateful\n And ye believe?\n Nay, it is God\n That recogniseth\n (All good), and knoweth\n All things.\n148. La yuhibbu Allahu aljahra bialssoo-i mina alqawli illa man thulima wakana Allahu sameeAAan AAaleeman\n148. God loveth not that evil\n Should be noised abroad\n In public speech, except\n Where injustice hath been\n Done; for God\n Is He who heareth\n And knoweth all things.\n149. In tubdoo khayran aw tukhfoohu aw taAAfoo AAan soo-in fa-inna Allaha kana AAafuwwan qadeeran\n149. Whether ye publish\n A good deed or conceal it\n Or cover evil with pardon,\n Verily God doth blot out\n (Sins) and hath power\n (In the judgment of values),\n150. Inna allatheena yakfuroona biAllahi warusulihi wayureedoona an yufarriqoo bayna Allahi warusulihi wayaqooloona nu/minu bibaAAdin wanakfuru bibaAAdin wayureedoona an yattakhithoo bayna thalika sabeelan\n150. Those who deny God\n And His apostles, and (those\n Who) wish to separate\n God from His apostles,\n Saying: \"We believe in some\n But reject others\":\n And (those who) wish\n To take a course midway,\u2014\n151. Ola-ika humu alkafiroona haqqan waaAAtadna lilkafireena AAathaban muheenan\n151. They are in truth\n (Equally) Unbelievers;\nAnd We have prepared\n For Unbelievers a humiliating\n Punishment.\n152. Waallatheena amanoo biAllahi warusulihi walam yufarriqoo bayna ahadin minhum ola-ika sawfa yu/teehim ojoorahum wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman\n152. To those who believe\n In God and His apostles\n And make no distinction\n Between any of the apostles,\n We shall soon give\n Their (due) rewards:\n For God is Oft-forgiving,\n Most Merciful.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra IV.: Nis\u0101a, or The Women.: Sect...","type":"page"}
