With Allah’s Name, the Merciful Benefactor, Merciful Redeemer.

With Allah’s Name, the Merciful Benefactor, Merciful Redeemer.Of the people there are some who say: “We believe in God and the Last Day;” but they do not believe. Fain would they deceive God and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves, and realize it not! In their hearts is a disease; and God has increased their disease: and grievous is the penalty they , because they are false . When it is said to them: “Make not mischief on the earth,” they say: “why we only want to make peace!” Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realize not. {{more}}When it is said to them: “Believe as the others believe:” They say: “Shall we believe as the fools believe?” – Nay, of a surety they are the fools, but they do not know. When they meet those who believe, they say: “We believe;” but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say: “We are really with you: we only jesting.” God will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones . These are they who have bartered guidance for error: but their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction. 2:8-16 Amen.
