Surah Al-Munafiqun

The Hypocrites

(Madani)

KEY TOPICS

The main topic of this surah is to describe characteristics of hypocrites including lying about their faith, swearing false oaths, plotting against Nabi (saw) and believers. Mentions hatred of hypocrites towards believers and their loathsome claim of expelling Nabi (saw) and believers out of Madina upon return from the battle of Bani Mustaliq. Encourages Muslims not to forget remembrance of Allah (swt)  in midst of worldly possessions and pleasures. Emphasizes not to delay spending in the path of Allah (swt) since no reprieve is available at the time of death.
