Quran Chapter 5- 53 (Pt-6, Stg-2) (L-699) - درس قرآن

Hypocrites have become losers

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

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

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

وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقْسَمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَٰنِهِمْ ۙ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَعَكُمْ ۚ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ خَٰسِرِينَ  .53

53.  Then will the believers say (unto the people of the Scripture): are these they who swore by Allah their most binding oaths that they were surely with you? Their works have failed, and they have become the losers.

53.  Wa  yaquu-lullaziina  ‘aamanuuu  ‘a-haaa-‘ulaaa-‘illaziina  ‘aq-samuu  BIllaahi  jahda  ‘aymaa-nihim,  ‘innaahum  lama-‘akum.  Habi-tat  ‘a’-maaluhum  fa-‘as-bahuu  khaasiriin.

Commentary

It has been explained also that these Hypocrites, whose Islam is only by their tongue, not accepted by their heart, neither they believe in Allah Almighty, nor have any hope about the prosperity of the Muslims, their hearts have a disease, the same disease, in which the Jews, the Christians and the Infidels have been entangled i.e. selfishness, thought about only one’s own gain and trust in apparent worldly power. Therefore, they are unable to see any form of their safety and escape except taking the Jews for friends and say to them clearly, “We see that the Muslims will finish very soon. What authority they have that they succeed against such powerful, honorable and wealthy people as the Infidels of Makkah, the Jews and the Christians? If not today then tomorrow, they would have to suffer from this vigorous calamity. If we remained united with them, then it is clear that we would also be treated badly by them. So they chose this form of deeds that apparently they joined the Muslims and assured them by swearing, “Where shall we go after leaving you? We are with you wholeheartedly”. They (the Hypocrites) assure the Muslims but their hearts believe that a misfortune is waiting for the Muslims. Only those people will be saved from it, who would have friendly relationship with the Jews.

Afterwards, their all thoughts were proved as false. The Infidels and the Jews were defeated by the Muslims and there was no any way for them to run away. Their all plans and schemes failed and they could get nothing save loss and repentance.
