Surah Al-Munafiqun Ayah 4

Al-Munafiqun · Ayah 4 · Juz 28 · Page 554

۞ وَإِذَا رَأَيۡتَهُمۡ تُعۡجِبُكَ أَجۡسَامُهُمۡۖ وَإِن يَقُولُواْ تَسۡمَعۡ لِقَوۡلِهِمۡۖ كَأَنَّهُمۡ خُشُبٞ مُّسَنَّدَةٞۖ يَحۡسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيۡحَةٍ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ هُمُ ٱلۡعَدُوُّ فَٱحۡذَرۡهُمۡۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ ٤

Wa idhā raʾaytahum tuʿjibuka ajsāmuhum, wa iy yaqūlū tasmaʿ liqawlihim, kaʾannahum khushubum musannadah, yaḥsabūna kulla ṣayḥatin ʿalayhim, humul-ʿaduwwu faḥdharhum, qātalahumullāh, annā yuʾfakūn.

And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up1 - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allāh destroy them; how are they deluded?

Translation: Sahih International
