سورة البقرة، الآية ٨
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ٨
wamina l-nāsi man yaqūlu āmannā bil-lahi wabil-yawmi l-ākhiri wamā hum bimu'minīna
And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh and the Last Day," but they are not believers.
Verse 8 of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:8), a Medinan surah, is in juz 1, on page 3 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 69 reciters.
75 recitations by 69 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
Among people are some who claim to have faith in Allah, when they actually do not believe.
There are some people7 who say, “We believe in Allah and the Last Day,” whereas they are not believers.
[7] i.e., the hypocrites.
And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: "We believe in Allâh and the Last Day" while in fact they believe not.
And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not.
Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day;" but they do not (really) believe.
And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers.
And of mankind (there) are some who say, "We have believed in Allah and in the Last Day." And in no way are they believers.
وَحُورٌ عِينٌ
And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,
إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَٰدِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ قَامُوا۟ كُسَالَىٰ يُرَآءُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allāh, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allāh except a little,
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ فَإِذَآ أُوذِىَ فِى ٱللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ ٱلنَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَئِن جَآءَ نَصْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ أَوَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِى صُدُورِ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh," but when one [of them] is harmed for [the cause of] Allāh, he considers the trial [i.e., harm] of the people as [if it were] the punishment of Allāh. But if victory comes from your Lord, they say, "Indeed, We were with you." Is not Allāh most knowing of what is within the breasts of the worlds [i.e., all creatures]?
