وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذَا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَئِن جَاءَ نَصْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ ۚ أَوَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِي صُدُورِ الْعَالَمِينَ ۝١٠

📖 Translation (English Meaning)

📖 English Meaning

And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allah," but when one [of them] is harmed for [the cause of] Allah, they consider the trial of the people as [if it were] the punishment of Allah. But if victory comes from your Lord, they say, "Indeed, We were with you." Is not Allah most knowing of what is within the breasts of all creatures?

Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

Fitnah here means persecution, harm, or torment inflicted by people.
Udhiya means to be harmed or tormented.
Sudur refers to the chests or hearts, symbolizing the innermost thoughts and intentions.

Tafsir (Explanation):

Among mankind there are those who declare with their tongues, "We believe in Allah," yet when they face harm, persecution, or oppression for the sake of their faith—when they are tested by the torment of disbelievers—they crumble. They equate the temporary suffering inflicted by people with the severe punishment of Allah, and in their weakness, they abandon their faith to escape immediate pain. They fail to realize that the punishment of Allah in the Hereafter is far greater and everlasting, while the harm of people is fleeting and finite.

These are the weak-hearted who profess faith only in times of ease and safety. But when the believers gain victory and Allah grants triumph to His Messenger and the faithful, these same people rush forward, claiming, "We were always with you! We stood by your side!" They seek to share in the victory without having borne any of the burden or hardship.

Allah, the All-Knowing, exposes their hypocrisy with a profound question: "Is Allah not best aware of what is in the hearts of all beings?" Indeed, He knows every hidden thought, every concealed intention, and every secret within the breasts of all creation. Nothing escapes His knowledge—neither the faith that is genuine nor the disbelief that is disguised.

This verse carries a timeless lesson for every believer: Faith is not a mere word uttered by the tongue, but a conviction that settles in the heart and is proven through patience and steadfastness in the face of trials. The road to Paradise is paved with tests, and those who turn back at the first sign of hardship are not worthy of the eternal reward. Allah sees all, and He knows who truly believes and who merely claims to. So be sincere in your faith, endure with patience, and trust that Allah's knowledge encompasses everything—for He will reward the truthful for their truthfulness and hold the hypocrites accountable for their deception.

8وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا ۖ وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا ۚ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And We have enjoined upon man goodness to parents. But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me is your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do.

9وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ

And those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely admit them among the righteous [into Paradise].

10وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذَا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَئِن جَاءَ نَصْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ ۚ أَوَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِي صُدُورِ الْعَالَمِينَ

11وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ

And Allah will surely make evident those who believe, and He will surely make evident the hypocrites.

12وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوا سَبِيلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطَايَاكُمْ وَمَا هُم بِحَامِلِينَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُم مِّن شَيْءٍ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

And those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." But they will not carry anything of their sins. Indeed, they are liars.
