> SURA LXIII (63) - The Hypocrites     (Medina - 11 Verses)         (CIV - 442)  
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say, "We bear witness that thou
> art the Sent One of God."  God knoweth that thou art His Sent One: but God
> beareth witness that the Hypocrites do surely lie.
>  
>        Their faith have they used as a cloak, and they turn aside others from
> thew ay of God!  Evil are all their doings.
>  
>        This, for that they believed, then became unbelievers!  Therefore hath a
> seal been set upon their hearts, and they understand not.
>  
>        When thou seest them, their persons make thee marvel; and if they speak,
> thou listenest with pleasure to their discourse.  Like timbers are they leaning
> against a wall!  They think that every shout is against them.  They are enemies
> - Beware of them then - God do battle with them!  How false are they!
>  
>        And when it is said to them, "Come, the Apostle of God will ask pardon
> for you," they turn their heads aside, and thou seest them withdraw in their
> pride.
>  
>        Alike shall it be to them whether thou ask forgiveness for them, or ask
> it not.  By no means will God forgive them:  God hath no guidance for a
> perverse people.
>  
>        These are they who say to you of Medina, "Spend not aught upon those who
> are with the Apostle of God, and they will be forced to quit him."  Yet the
> treasures of the Heavens and of the Earth are God's!  But the Hypocrites have
> no understanding.
>  
>        They say:  "If we return to the city, the mightier will assuredly drive
> out the weaker from it."  But might is with God, and with the Apostle, and with
> the Faithful!  Yet the Hypocrites understand not.
>  
>        O ye who believe! let not your wealth and your children delude you
> into forgetfulness of God.,  Whoever shall act thus, shall surely suffer loss.
>  
> 63:10  And expend in the cause of God out of that with which we have supplied
> you, ere death surprise each one of you, and he say, "O Lord! wilt thou not
> respite me to a term not far distant, that I may give alms, and become one of
> the just?"
>  
>        And by no means will God respite a soul when its hour hath come!  And
> God is fully cognisant of what ye do.
