Sura Al-Munafiqun from 5 to 11


5. And when it is said to them: « Come, so that the Messenger of Allâh may ask forgiveness from Allâh for you, » they twist their heads, and you would see them turning away their faces in pride. [ 1 ]
6. It is equal to them whether you ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) ask forgiveness or ask not forgiveness for them, Allâh will never forgive them. Verily, Allâh guides not the people who are the Fâsiqîn ( rebellious, disobedient to Allâh ) . [ 2 ]
7. They are the ones who say: « Spend not on those who are with Allâh’s Messenger, until they desert him. » And to Allâh belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites comprehend not.
8. They ( hyprocrites ) say: « If we return to Al- Madinah, indeed the more honourable ( ‘Abdullâh bin Ubai bin Salûl, the chief of hyprocrites at Al- Madinah ) will expel therefrom the meaner ( i.e. Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) ) . » But honour, power and glory belong to Allâh, and to His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) , and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not.
9. O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allâh. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers.
10. And spend ( in charity ) of that with which We have provided you before death comes to one of you, and he says: « My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while ( i.e. return to the worldly life ) , then I should give Sadaqah ( i.e. Zakât ) of my wealth, [ 3 ] and be among the righteous [ i.e. perform Hajj ( pilgrimage to Makkah ) and other good deeds ]
11. And Allâh grants respite to none when his appointed time ( death ) comes. And Allâh is All- Aware of what you do.

) Narrated Abu Hurairah ( raa ) : The Prophet ( saas ) said, « Everyday two angels come down from heaven and one of them says, ‘O Allâh! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,’ and the other ( angel ) says, ‘O Allâh! Destroy every miser.’ » ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.2, Hadith No.522 ) .
B
) The performance of Hajj is an enjoined duty and its superiority, and the Statement of Allâh ( Lord Almighty and Exalted ) : « Hajj ( pilgrimage ) to the House ( Ka‘bah ) , is a duty that mankind owes to Allâh, those who can afford the expenses ( for one’s conveyance, provision and residence ) ; and whoever disbelieves [ i.e. denies Hajj ( pilgrimage to Makkah ) , then he is a disbeliever of Allâh ] , then Allâh stands not in need of any of the ‘Âlamîn ( mankind and jinn ) . » ( V.3:97 ) .
C
) Islâm demolishes all the previous evil deeds and so do migration ( for Allâh’s sake ) and Hajj ( pilgrimage to Makkah ) [ Al- Lû’lû’ wal- Marjân, Vol. 1, Chapter 52, Page 205 ] ( Sahih Muslim, Vol.1, Chapter 52, Page 78 )
