Surat An-Nisa' (141-150)

{الَّذِينَ يَتَرَبَّصُونَ بِكُمْ فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ فَتْحٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ قَالُواْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ وَإِن كَانَ لِلْكَافِرِينَ نَصِيبٌ قَالُواْ أَلَمْ نَسْتَحْوِذْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَنَمْنَعْكُم مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاللّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَن يَجْعَلَ اللّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلاً} [النساء: 141]

141- Indeed, the hypocrites wait for something bad to happen to you and they do not wish good for you. So, when you gained victory and booty, they would seek your satisfaction and would say: Were not we with you in religion and supported you in Jihad?! Give us a share from the booty.

If the infidels have won, they would say: Did not we cooperate with you by stopping them to kill and capture you or even by turning them away from you, giving you their secrets, and pushing them away as we could until you gained victory?

Allah shall judge between the people of faith and the hypocrites on the Day of the Recompense when the actions are presented to Allah to reward His Obedient Servants and punish His Enemy.

There shall be no argue for the disbelievers to use against Muslims in the world as well as in the Hereafter because they have the truth in the world and Allah shall judge between His Servants on the Day of the Recompense and He shall accept nothing of them but Islam.

Or the meaning of the last portion of the Ayahs is: Allah shall never make the infidels superior to Muslims or eradicate them totally. As for the war, it is ranging between win and defeat and not the total annihilation.

{إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يُخَادِعُونَ اللّهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُواْ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ قَامُواْ كُسَالَى يُرَآؤُونَ النَّاسَ وَلاَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللّهَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً} [النساء: 142]

142- Verily, the hypocrites act like double crossers. They show faith but conceal disbelief. They think that Allah does not know about them. Verily, Allah knows their secrets and that is hidden in their intentions, but Allah let them in their oppression and error and He shall do with them as they did. Although He let them live among Muslims and have monies because they show faith, but He had prepared for them Hell Fire in the Hereafter after He would uncover their secrets.

Of their qualities: when they go to the best pillar of Islam which Salah, they go to it lazy. They offer it without intention, reverence, understanding, desire, faith, or devotion. They only do it in order that the people see them praying and believe that they are Muslims. However, they are heedless in Salah and do not understand what they say and do not mention Allah but a few.

{مُّذَبْذَبِينَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ لاَ إِلَى هَـؤُلاء وَلاَ إِلَى هَـؤُلاء وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ سَبِيلاً} [النساء: 143]

143- They are distracted and ambivalent between unbelief and faith, and are hesitant between believers and unbelievers. So, there are not believers for real because they conceal disbelief or infidels because they do not show disbelief, but outwardly they are with the believers and inwardly they are with the unbelievers. Verily, whom Allah turns away from guidance and sends away from the way of survival you will not find a guide and a savior for him because he is not ready for guidance and for accepting the truth.

{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاء مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَجْعَلُواْ لِلّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَاناً مُّبِيناً} [النساء: 144]

144- O those who believed, do not imitate the hypocrites in taking the infidels as companions, friends, and advisors, and do not convey the news of Muslims to them. Do you want to set an argument against yourselves before Allah to punish or torture you painfully for it?

{إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمْ نَصِيراً} [النساء: 145]

145– Indeed, the final destination of the hypocrites is the lower ranks and places of Hell Fire, which is its bottom, and you will not find someone to save them from that state or to alleviate their severe punishment.
 

{إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَأَصْلَحُواْ وَاعْتَصَمُواْ بِاللّهِ وَأَخْلَصُواْ دِينَهُمْ لِلّهِ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَسَوْفَ يُؤْتِ اللّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً} [النساء: 146]

146- Except for those who repent, go back to Allah, regret what they have done, repair with the faith what they had corrupted with disbelief, hold firm with their Lord and His Book, and replace hypocrisy with devotion. Such people shall be with the believers on the Day of the Recompense and Allah shall give them - as He will give the believers - the great reward, and the high ranks in Paradise.

{مَّا يَفْعَلُ اللّهُ بِعَذَابِكُمْ إِن شَكَرْتُمْ وَآمَنتُمْ وَكَانَ اللّهُ شَاكِراً عَلِيماً} [النساء: 147]

{لَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ الجَهْرَ بِالسُّوءِ مِنَ القَوْلِ إِلَّا مَنْ ظُلِمَ وَكَانَ اللهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا} [النساء: 148]

148- Allah does not like those who speak badly about other people except in one case, when a person is oppressed by another. The display of the complaint may be by supplicating Allah against the oppressor or raise a complaint against him in which the complainant mentions the details of his or her oppression. Verily, Allah is All-Hearing for the words of the oppressor as well as the oppressed and knows exactly their conditions.

{إِنْ تُبْدُوا خَيْرًا أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ أَوْ تَعْفُوا عَنْ سُوءٍ فَإِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا قَدِيرًا} [النساء: 149]

149- If you display goodness, conceal it, or forgive those who oppress you while you are capable of punishing them, Allah forgives the disobedient ones despite His Capability of punishing them. Then, why do not you forgive despite your weakness? Instead, you should forgive and pardon in order to have the full reward.

{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْفُرُونَ بِاللهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَ اللهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَيَقُولُونَ نُؤْمِنُ بِبَعْضٍ وَنَكْفُرُ بِبَعْضٍ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذُوا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا} [النساء: 150]

150- Those who are led by their doctrines and views to disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers while they claim to be Muslims, want to separate between the messengers, and say:  We believe in some prophets and disbelieve in others, such as the Jews who did not believe in the prophethood of Jesus and Muhammad or as the Christians, who did not believe in Muhammad (peace be upon him), want to compromise although faith and truth cannot be multiplied,
