The Holy Quran 24:47 — Surah An-Nur

Arabic text

وَيَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلرَّسُولِ وَأَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَآ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Translation

They (the Munaafiqeen) say, "We believe in Allaah and the Rasool and we obey." Thereafter (when the time comes to prove their Imaan) a group from them turns away (failing to fulfil the demands of true Imaan). These people are not Mu'mineen (but Munaafiqeen).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
