Lesson
Yukhaadi-‘uuna -
(They cheat, beguile). This word has been made from khada-‘a, which means “To hide evil in the heart and to show oneself a
good friend, so that the other person may be deceived, and kept in delusion”.
‘Anfusa-hum (Their lives, souls), it is plural of nafs, which means “Oneself”
Wa
maa yash-‘uruun. (and they do not
perceive). This word has been derived from Sha’uur, according to Arabic
language; it means “to understand, to perceive”. Here it aims “internal
perception”. The aim is that they have fallen in self-delusion. But they do not
know about their folly.
In the previous lesson,
it was told about the Hypocrites that: whatever they say by their tongues,
their hearts do not accept it, and whatever they keep in their hearts, they do
not say that with their tongue. They say themselves ‘Muslims’ only either for
getting favor and benefits from the Muslims or to be saved themselves from
their seizure. In addition, some more detail about their act of hypocrisy has
been described in this lesson. They have been committing the errors of
deception and cheating also; besides the infidelity. Opposing the Truth, their
courage has increased so much that; according to their thinking, they have been
deceiving God Almighty too. During the period of Last Prophet; Muhammad (grace,
blessings and peace of Allah be on Him), they used to join and attend the
conferences of the Muslims and consultations, reinstate their confidence with
Muslims and keep conspiracy also with the infidels secretly, informing them the
matters of Muslims and in the form of friends, they used to stab in the backs
of the Believers.
This evil behavior of
the Hypocrites is censurable particularly because they try to beguile the
Believers. Keeping someone in delusion and misleading others is their religion.
Not only the Believers, but have they thought that they would succeed by
deceiving God Almighty also. How much they are senseless, that a creature
thinks to deceive his Creator. Therefore, Allah Almighty says in His Holy
Word, Al-Qur’aan: They are ignorant, do not perceive and have not
decency of the Truth. They suppose that ignorance is intelligence and wisdom is
folly.
