Punishment for Infidels and Hypocrites

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتِوَٱلْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا هِىَ حَسْبُهُمْ وَلَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ 68

 كَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَٰلًا وَأَوْلَٰدًا فَٱسْتَمْتَعُوا۟ بِخَلَٰقِهِمْ فَٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلَٰقِكُمْ كَمَاٱسْتَمْتَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُم بِخَلَٰقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَٱلَّذِى خَاضُوٓا۟ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ 69

68.  Allah promiseth the hypocrites, both men and women, and the disbelievers; fire of Hell to abide therein for ever. It will suffice them. And Allah curseth them, and theirs is lasting torment- 69a.  Even as those before you who were mightier than you in strength, and more affluent than you in wealth and children.

68.  Wa  ‘adAllaahul-Munaafiqiina  wal-Munaafiqaati  wal-Kuffaara  naara-  Jahan-nama  khaalidiina  fiihaa.  Hiya  hasbuhum.  Wa  la-‘anahu-mUllaah.  Wa  lahum  ‘azaabum-muqiim.  69a.  Kalla-ziina  min-  qablikum  kaanuuu  ‘ashadda  min-kum  quw-watanw-wa  ‘aksara  ‘amwaa-lanw-wa  ‘aw-laadaa.

Commentary

Common signs of the Hypocrites were described in the previous verse. The same are of the Infidels. But, they molest openly by opposing, whereas the Hypocrites seek the opportunity and deceive by hiding themselves. However, punishment of their common behavior is also common. Of course, retribution of their cheating and imposture will be given to them separately. In this verse, that torment has been described which is ready for the Hypocrites and the Infidels due to their enmity against Islam.

It is commanded that these open and hidden enemies of Islam that is to say; the Infidels and the Hypocrites, both deserve the Fire of the Hell to abide therein for ever due to their common behavior. Although, which class of the Hell has been fixed for the Hypocrites, that will be more painful, as it was described in Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’.

This torment of the Hell will be sufficient for punishment against their wicked deeds; and they will know clearly at every stage that which punishment is for which evil act. God Almighty will not listen to their crying for help; because they have been thrown away from the Mercy of God Almighty due to disobedience in the world (this life). And such torment will be clinging with them every time, whether its peculiarity is changed, but the pain will remain continuously.

Then it is commanded that their conduct is the same as of those who were before them, who were mightier than these people in strength, more at ease in wealth and abundance of children. The mankind who have forgotten Divine Power and Omnipotence of Allah Almighty, their intention is drawn unto the circumstances of ancient nations, who were more outstretched in every way than these people.

Tokens of Hypocrisy

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّنۢ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ 67  

67.  The hypocrites, both men and women, proceed one from another. They enjoin the wrong, and they forbid the right, and they withhold their hands (from spending for the Cause of Allah). They have forgotten Allah, so He hath forgotten them. Lo! the hypocrites, they are the transgressors.

Commentary

The mention of the Hypocrites has been going from far. This group appeared after arriving at Madinah. Before it, in Makkah, there were only two groups – openly Muslims or freely Infidels. Some people of Madinah considered in it suitableness to immediate gain that apparently they must show that “they are Muslims, but when look for an opportunity; they should try to molest them (the Muslims).

Accordingly, they used to remain as sidebar punching “A wolf in the garb of a lamb”. In the Battle of ‘Uhud, they vexed severely, but could not hurt the Muslims. Moreover, they did hurt themselves. God Almighty informed His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and his Companions (May Allah be pleased with them) about their wickedness at every occasion. But due to His (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) forbearance and politeness, they became more bold, even that when, it was commanded that they should be prepared for the Battle of Tabuuk, then; their depravity was disclosed completely, after that, they could not rebel again.   

Their common signs have been described in this verse. It is commanded that behavior of the Hypocrites is the same, whether they are men or women. Apparently they are friends, but secretly they seek any opportunity of deceiving. It is the principle of all of them that they enjoin for those deeds, which have been determined by the people as evil. And which deeds have been accepted as good works, they forbid from them. They are extremely stingy. Fund collecting is their routine. They turn up their nose and knit the eyebrows from spending for the Cause of God Almighty. They believe never in Allah Almighty wholeheartedly. Therefore, He is also inattentive from them. Real religious-less and disobedient are these people, because they accept the law of the religion with their tongue, but go against the law in time.

It shows that only that person can be saved from sins who believe that God (Allah Almighty) is Omnipresent and who fears from His Seizure; otherwise if someone does not believe in Allah Almighty, then there is no power; which may make him/her right, true, just and honest.

A lame excuse of the Hypocrites

(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْلَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ قُلْ أَبِٱللَّهِ وَءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَرَسُولِهِۦ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِءُونَ 65

65.  If thou dost question them, they declare (with emphasis): We were only talking idly and in play. Say: Was it at God, and His Signs, and His Apostle, that ye were mocking? 66.  Make no excuse, ye have disbelieved after your (confession of) belief. If We forgive a party of you, a party of you We shall punish because they have been guilty.

Commentary

When something has no real value in the heart of an individual, he cannot succeed in maintaining every time its artificial value. Natural condition of his heart will change now or then. Some Hypocrites, who moved along with Muslims with unwilling heart for the Battle of Tabuuk, they began to say in the way: Behold this Person {Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)}! He has strut (Let us flee to God) as much after getting the upper hand over a little area of the Arab territory that; now He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) is going to conquer the fine cities and the people of Syria and Rome. How can these a few inexperienced Muslims conquer, who offer prayers and recite Qur’aan every time, who have not faced any war against any big nation; like brave and bold soldiers of Syrian and Roman Armies, who engage themselves regularly in wars and get victory over countries.

This news of their mischief reached the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). He called them and asked: What does it mean that you discourage our people by telling such lies? The same has been described in these verses. It is commanded: O Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)! They reply you quickly when You ask them! O Prophet (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)! We don’t say these things heartily; these are only gossips for amusing in the way.

Allah Almighty commands: O Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)! Ask them: Were you mocking at God Almighty, His Apostle (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and His Revelations? Such excuses and justification of yours are useless. You used to say yourselves believers. How can you remain Muslims after uttering such blasphemies? Certainly you will be punished for it.

Those hypocrites, who were neither arrogant and nor they spread any mischief publicly, they will be let go for a few days. But those who have been sowing the seed of disturbance openly, it is sure that they will be punished for their crimes. They will never be saved.

Confusion of the Hypocrites

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  يَحْذَرُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ قُلِ ٱسْتَهْزِءُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُونَ 64  

64.  The hypocrites fear lest a Surah should be revealed concerning them, proclaiming what is in their hearts. Say: Scoff (your fill)! Lo! Allah will surely expose what ye fear.

64.  Yahzarul-Munaa-fiquuna  ‘an-  tunazzala  ‘alay-him  suuratun-  tunabbi-‘uhum  bimaa  fii  quluu-bihim.  Qulis-tahzi-‘uu.  ‘InnAllaaha  mukhri-jummaa  tah-zaruun.

Commentary

Condition of the Hypocrites was indeed very astonishing. Their hearts did not desire that the people should be obedient to the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and Islam succeed, because they were observing clearly; death of their chief-ship and dignity in it. But they were helpless due to existing circumstances, because the strength of the Muslims was increasing rapidly before their eyes day and night. And it was becoming more necessary for them day by day to make good relations with the Muslims.  

It was the reason that as much as possible; they used to flatter the Muslims apparently, but privately they did not miss any chance of wickedness against them being forced by their hearts. And they used to amuse in this manner that “If the news reached the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) is very Forbearer and Mild. We shall make Him to understand by telling lies”.

But denial of the Revelation was difficult for them, because there was no scope of suspicion now in Its truth. Therefore, they remained afraid every time that lest any such Surah is revealed due to which the dark side of our deeds is opened. The same has been explained in this verse.

It is commanded that these double-dealers and ostentatious people fear: lest such Chapter should be revealed that those entire secrets are disclosed which are held in our hearts. If it was so then the evil would come upon us in full scale. Then it is commanded: You continue setting your traps of imposture and carry on your habits of joking and deceiving the Muslims. God Almighty has been observing everything.

In the process of time, surely God shall expose all those matters which are in your hearts and you will hide your heads through shame. Your fear will come before you. It is impossible that due to your mischievous tactics, the growth of the True Religion is stopped and the world sets back again in the darkness, in which it had been stumbling since long.

Trick of the Hypocrites

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرْضُوهُ إِن كَانُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ 62  

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُۥ مَن يُحَادِدِ ٱللَّهَوَرَسُولَهُۥ فَأَنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدًا فِيهَا ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخِزْىُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ 63

62.  They swear by Allah to you (Muslims) to please you, but Allah, with His Messenger, hath more right that they should please Him if they are Believers. 63.  Know they not that whoso opposeth Allah and His Messenger, for him is fire of Hell, to abide therein for ever? That is the extreme abasement.

62.  Yahli-fuuna  Billaahi  lakum  li-yurzuu-kum.  Wallaahu  wa  Rasuu-luHuuu  ‘ahaqqu  ‘any-yur-zuuHu  ‘in-  kaanuu  Mu’-miniin.  (Part Three-Fourth) 63.  ‘Alam-  ya’-lamuuu  ‘annahuu  many-yuhaadi-Dillaaha  wa  RasuulaHuu  fa-‘anna  lahuu  naara  Jahan-nama  khaa-lidan-  fiihaa  .  Zaalikal-khizyul-‘aziim.

Commentary

Yuhaadi-du – (oppose), it is a present tense, which has been derived from the word muhaad-datun and origin of which is hadd. Hadd means “aside and margin”. Muhaad-datun means “to stand on opposite side for fighting, to oppose face to face”.

It was a habit of the Hypocrites that when they used to get any opportunity and find the field empty, they used to find faults in the Muslims and say that they were very bad. Even, they had resolved on mischief, although apparently, they used to make with them very deep brother-hood.

Whenever their treachery was betrayed, they used to come running unto the Muslims and say: Believe not in rumors against us. They used to swear and try to assure that: Our intentions are clear from your side. We are never desirous of your dissension and loss. Yours and our friendship is very good.

Telling such kinds of lies, they used to try to persuade and content the Muslims. In this verse, the state of their cleverness has been explained. It is commanded that these people come running unto you after betraying their secrets and assure you by swearing that: We are well-wishers of you only.

Though, it is not useful if you please in such a way. The actual thing is that they should please God Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), because God Almighty is Aware of their natural condition very well. And He informs also to His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) about their tricks now and then.

Every true Believer should know that if they believe then they should try to conciliate Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), otherwise it must be noted by them that whoso opposes God Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), for him is fire of Hell, to abide therein for ever. And it is so much extreme abasement and disgrace that against it, entire casual benefits of the world are worthless.
