Surah 4. An-Nisaa, Ayah 63
| أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ مَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَعِظْهُمْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَوْلًا بَلِيغًا |
| Transliteration | : | 'olaa'ika 'alladhena yaclam 'allaah maa fe qulob -him fa- acrid. can -hum wa- ciz. -hum wa- qul la- -hum fe anfus -him qawl(an) balegh(an) |
| Pickthall | : | Those are they, the secrets of whose hearts Allah knoweth. So oppose them and admonish them, and address them in plain terms about their souls. |
| Asad | : | As for them - God knows all that is in their hearts; so leave them alone, and admonish them, and speak unto them about themselves in a gravely searching manner: |
| Malik | : | Allah knows what really is in their hearts; therefore, neglect their attitude, admonish them, and speak to them effectual words which may go deep into their hearts. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Those men Allah knows what is in their hearts; so keep clear of them but admonish them and speak to them a word to reach their very souls. 582 |
Note - 582How should hypocrites be treated? To take them into your
confidence would of course be foolish. To wage
unrelenting war against them may destroy the hope of
reforming them and purging them of their hypocrisy. The
Prophet of Allah keeps clear of their wiles, but at the
same time, does not hesitate to show them the error of
their ways, nor to put in a word in season, to penetrate
their hearts and win them back to Allah.
