Claim of Hypocrites that they are Believers (L–27)

8. وَمِنَ
النّاسِ مَن يَقولُ آمَنّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِاليَومِ الآخِرِ وَما هُم بِمُؤمِنينَ |

8. Wa
minan-naasi many-ya-quulu ‘aamannaa Billaahi wa
bil-Yawmil-‘Aakhiri wa maahum bi-mu’-miniin. |

8. Among the
people are those who say, “We believe in God and in the Last Day,” but they
are not believers. |
Till the last verse, two kinds of people were discussed in Holy Qur’an:
1. The Believers – The Obedient of the Commandments of God.
2. The Infidels - who denied the Law of God.
Now, description about a third kind of people is been started. These people are enemies also and opposite to Islam. But they put the veil of deception on their enmity. They claim by their tongues that they are Muslims but have infidelity in their hearts. In the term of Holy Qur’an, they are called Hypocrites. It is the hypocrisy that a person proclaims that Islam is a good religion, but keeps against it hidden evil and infidelity in his heart.
When Islam proclaimed the fidelity of Belief in God and in the Day of Resurrection, then it was necessary for him who desired to become a Muslim that he would have agreed to these both Beliefs. Therefore, a special group from the people of Madinah wished by declaring themselves believers in these both faiths, so that they may join the Muslim community by cheating. They were included in Muslim Community but they were not sincere. Escaping from their tricks was incumbent. Therefore, Holy Qur’an itself informed the Muslims that they didn’t believe in the fidelity. So, Muslims must be cautious from them (hypocrites).
It is known that it was sign of a hypocrite during those days that “they used to claim their faith in this fidelity of Islam by their tongues, but their hearts did not accept it”. If, even nowadays, someone’s outward appearance and inward qualities are not the same, then he should correct and settle himself. As long the tongue and the heart (both) are not alike, till then, the belief cannot be produced, but this condition is of the hypocrisy.
Companions (May God be pleased with them) of Holy Prophet (ﷺ) used to keep themselves settled always besides their nobility and excellence. It was the reason that they were on the higher degrees of Belief and Sincerity. God bestowed to them higher ranks and favoured them with success.
