Lesson
Yukhaadi-‘uuna (They deceive, beguile). It means to hide the evil thought in
the heart and to show oneself a good fellow so that the other person may be
deceived and keep him in delusion.
‘Anfusa-hum (Their bodies, spirits, souls)
Wa maa
yash-‘uruun.
(They do not understand). This word is built from Sha’uur, according to
Arabic language it means to understand, to guess. Here it aims internal
perception. Intention is that they are fallen in self-delusion. But they do not
know their folly.
In the last lesson hypocrites discussed that what they say with their tongues, their hearts do not accept,
and what they keep in their hearts, they do not bring that on their tongues.
They say themselves ‘Muslim’ to get favour and advantage from the Muslims or
to escape themselves from the Muslims hold. In addition, their form of this act (hypocrisy) has been enlightened in this
lesson. They are committed in the crimes of deceit and cheat besides the
infidelity. Their courage has been so increased
opposing the Truth that according to their thoughts they are deceiving The
God too. In the days of The last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) they
joined and attended the Muslim conferences and consultations, reinstated
their confidence with Muslims and kept conspiracy with infidels secretly,
told them the matters of Muslims and in the shape of friends stabbed in the
backs of Believers.
This act of Hypocrites is censurable
particularly that they try to deceive the Believers. Keeping someone in delusion
and misleading becomes their religion. Not only the Believers, have they
thought also that they will succeed to deceive The God Almighty. How much
they are senseless, that the creature thinks to deceive his Creator. So Allah
Almighty says in His Holy Book, Al-Qur’aan, that they do not understand the decency of the Truth. They suppose the senselessness as intelligence
and wisdom as folly.
