Surah An Nur Tafseer

The Treachery of the Hypocrites and the Attitude of the Believers

Allah tells us about the characteristics of the hypocrites who show one thing while hiding another, and who say with their tongues,

وَيَقُولُونَ امَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالرَّسُولِ وَأَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّى فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم مِّن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ

They say:"We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger, and we obey," then a party of them turn away thereafter,

meaning, their actions contradict their deeds, and they say that which they do not do.

Allah says:

وَمَا أُوْلَيِكَ بِالْمُوْمِنِينَ

such are not believers
