Surah Al-Munafiqun (The Hypocrites) 63

This Surah was revealed in Madinah, and it has 11 verses and 2 sections

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Most Merciful

(They say, "If we return to Madinah, the more honourable ones will drive out the meaner ones from there." ....63:8)

COMMENTARY: This too is the statement of Ibn Ubayy, the hypocrite. Although the words used by him were ambiguous, the intention was clear. He termed himself and the natives of Madinah as 'honourable' and the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam and the Emigrant Companions as (God forbid!) the 'meanest' . He thus provoked the Helpers of Madinah against the Emigrants that the former should drive out the latter from their city.

In answer to this, Allah recoiled his boastful statement against himself by pointing out that if those who are really 'honourable' drive out those who are really the 'meanest', it will go against themselves, because all honour belongs to Him, His Messenger and the believers. The hypocrites, however, are unaware of this because of their ignorance.

The concluding phrase of this verse is '...but the hypocrites do not know. [8]' This may be contrasted with the concluding phrase of verse ‘but they do not understand'. The reason for the distinction between 'do not understand' and 'do not know' is as follows: If a person thinks that he is the provider of others, this is completely irrational. This is the sign of his foolishness. Honour and dishonour, on the other hand, can fall to anyone's lot. Therefore, if he errs in his judgement, this is ignorance of facts or true state of affairs. Thus we have here '... but the hypocrites do not know. [8]'

THE SMILE

THE HONEYMOON IS OVER

My wife, a registered nurse, once fussed over every pain or mishap that came my way. Recently, however, I got an indication that the honeymoon is over.

I was about to fix the attic fan, and as I lifted myself from the ladder in the attic, I scratched my forehead on a crossbeam. Crawling along, I picked up splinters in both hands, and I cut one hand replacing the fan belt. On the way down the ladder, I missed the last two rungs and turned my ankle.

When I limped into the kitchen, my wife took one look and said, "Are those your good pants?"
