God beguiles the hypocrites
Suratun-Nisaaa’ (The Women) – Chapter – 4)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful
إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَٰدِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ قَامُوا۟ كُسَالَىٰيُرَآءُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا (142
مُّذَبْذَبِينَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ لَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَلَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ سَبِيلًا (143

142. Lo! The hypocrites seek to beguile Allah, but it is
He Who beguileth them. When they stand up to worship they perform it
languidly and to be seen of men, and are mindful of Allah but little.
143. Swaying between this (and that), (belonging)
neither to these nor to those. And he whom Allah causeth to go astray, thou
(O Muhammad) will not find a way for him.

Commentary
Yu-khaadi-‘uuna – (they
beguile), khaadi-‘uhum – (He will beguile them), both words are from the same origin.
Base of these words is khadaaa’, which
means ‘to beguile, to cheat, to deceive, to exercise cleverness’. Its aim is
that the hypocrites deceive God Almighty and His servants with their own vanity
assurance, while they have deceived themselves but they do not feel. God will
reply them about this deceiving.
Kusaalaa – (languidly), it is plural of kaslaan, which
has been derived from kasala, means laziness, idleness and
indolence. Kaslaan is that person, who works with indolence, like a tired, and
that, who does not work actively and with love.
Yuraaa-‘uuna – (to be seen of), it is from riaaa’, which
means to work as for to be seen of the people. These persons perform the
worship and offer the prayer only for the purpose that others consider them
worshippers.
Muzab-zabiina – (swaying between), it has been made from zabzabah, which means “Swaying between this and
that, belonging neither to these nor to those”.
Following five outward
indications of the hypocrites have been described in these verses:-
1. They have fallen themselves in the deception,
but think that they deceive Allah Almighty.
2. They perform worship but languidly, like tired persons and with indolence.
3. There is no sincerity in their prayers. They
offer prayer only to be seen of the people.
4. They seldom remember their Creator (Allah Almighty).
5. They remain lingered between the belief and
the infidelity. Neither they embrace belief heartily nor can they join the
infidelity clearly.
