Surah Al-Munafiqun: Arabic, Transliteration & Translation

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. 63:1

   اِذَا جَاۤءَكَ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ قَالُوْا نَشْهَدُ اِنَّكَ لَرَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ ۘوَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اِنَّكَ لَرَسُوْلُهٗ ۗوَاللّٰهُ يَشْهَدُ اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَكٰذِبُوْنَۚ

   Idzaa jaa-akal munaafiquuna qaaluuu nasyhadu innaka larasuulullahi wallahu ya'lamu innaka larasuuluhu wallahu yasyhadu innal munaafiqiina lakaadzibuun(a)

   (O Prophet), when the hypocrites come to you, they say: “We bear witness that you are certainly Allah's Messenger.” Allah certainly knows that you are His Messenger. But Allah also bears witness that the hypocrites are utter liars!

2. 63:2

   اِتَّخَذُوْٓا اَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهُمْ سَاۤءَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

   Attakhadzuu aimaanahum junnatan fashadduu 'an sabiilillahi innahum saa-a maa kaanuu ya'maluun(a)

   They shelter behind their oath, and thus hinder their own selves and others from the Path of Allah. Evil indeed is what they do.

3. 63:3

   ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا فَطُبِعَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ

   Dzalika biannahum aamanuu tsumma kafaruu fathubi'a 'ala quluubihim fahum laa yafqahuun(a)

   All that is because they first believed and then disbelieved, and therefore a seal was set on their hearts; as a result they understand nothing.

4. 63:4

   ۞ وَاِذَا رَاَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ اَجْسَامُهُمْۗ وَاِنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْۗ كَاَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ ۗيَحْسَبُوْنَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْۗ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْۗ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۖاَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُوْنَ

   Wa-idzaa ra-aitahum tu'jibuka ajsaamuhum wa-in yaquuluu tasma' liqaulihim kaannahum khusyubun musannadatun yahsabuuna kulla shaihatin 'alaihim humul 'aduu-wu faahdzarhum qaatalahumullahu anna yu'fakuun(a)

   When you look at them, their persons are pleasing, and when they speak, you pay heed to what they say. But in truth they are (merely) beams of timber propped-up (against a wall). They consider every shout they hear to be directed against them. They are your utter enemies; guard against them. May Allah do away with them! How are they being turned away (from the Truth)?

5. 63:5

   وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ لَوَّوْا رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَرَاَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّوْنَ وَهُمْ مُّسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ

   Wa-idzaa qiila lahum ta'aalau yastaghfir lakum rasuulullahi lau-wau ruuusahum wara-aitahum yashudduuna wahum mustakbiruun(a)

   When it is said to them: “Come, Allah's Messenger will seek forgiveness for you,” they (contemptuously) shake their heads and you see them holding back in pride.

6. 63:6

   سَوَاۤءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ اَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ اَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْۗ لَنْ يَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ

   Sawaa-un 'alaihim astaghfarta lahum am lam tastaghfir lahum lan yaghfirallahu lahum innallaha laa yahdiil qaumal faasiqiin(a)

   It is all the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or not; for Allah shall never forgive them. Surely Allah does not direct the transgressing folk to the Right Way.

7. 63:7

   هُمُ الَّذِيْنَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَا تُنْفِقُوْا عَلٰى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ حَتّٰى يَنْفَضُّوْاۗ وَلِلّٰهِ خَزَاۤىِٕنُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۙ وَلٰكِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ

   Humul-ladziina yaquuluuna laa tunfiquu 'ala man 'inda rasuulillahi hatta yanfadh-dhuu walillahi khazaa-inus-samaawaati wal ardhi walakinnal munaafiqiina laa yafqahuun(a)

   It is they who say: “Give nothing to those who are with the Messenger of Allah so that they may disperse.” (They say so although) the treasures of the heavens and the earth belong to Allah. But the hypocrites do not understand.

8. 63:8

   يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَىِٕنْ رَّجَعْنَآ اِلَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْاَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْاَذَلَّ ۗوَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُوْلِهٖ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَلٰكِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ

   Yaquuluuna la-in raja'naa ilal madiinati layukhrijannal a'azzu minhaal adzalla walillahil 'izzatu walirasuulihi walilmu'miniina walakinnal munaafiqiina laa ya'lamuun(a)

   They say: “When we return to Madinah, the honourable ones will drive out from it those that are abject.” In truth, all honour belongs to Allah, and to His Messenger, and to the believers. But the hypocrites do not know.

9. 63:9

   يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَآ اَوْلَادُكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ۚوَمَنْ يَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

   Yaa ai-yuhaal-ladziina aamanuu laa tulhikum amwaalukum walaa aulaadukum 'an dzikrillahi waman yaf'al dzalika fa-uula-ika humul khaasiruun(a)

   Believers, let your possessions and your offspring not make you negligent of Allah's remembrance. For whoso does that, they will be the losers.

10. 63:10

    وَاَنْفِقُوْا مِنْ مَّا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقُوْلَ رَبِّ لَوْلَآ اَخَّرْتَنِيْٓ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ قَرِيْبٍۚ فَاَصَّدَّقَ وَاَكُنْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

    Wa-anfiquu min maa razaqnaakum min qabli an ya'tiya ahadakumul mautu fayaquula rabbi laulaa akh-khartanii ila ajalin qariibin fa-ash-shaddaqa wa-akun minash-shaalihiin(a)

    And spend of what Allah has granted you by way of sustenance before death should come to any of you and he should say: “Lord, why did You not defer my return for a while so that I might give alms and be among the righteous?”

11. 63:11

    وَلَنْ يُّؤَخِّرَ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِذَا جَاۤءَ اَجَلُهَاۗ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ

    Walan yu'akh-khirallahu nafsan idzaa jaa-a ajaluhaa wallahu khabiirun bimaa ta'maluun(a)

    But when a person's term comes to an end, Allah never grants any respite. Allah is well aware of all that you do.
