The Holy Quran 2:9 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

يُخَـٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Translation

They (attempt to) fool Allaah and the Mu'mineen (by posing as Mu'mineen), but they only fool themselves without realising it (because they are the ones who will suffer disgrace in this world when Allaah exposes them and they will suffer in the Aakhirah as well when they are punished).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, their trickery can succeed neither against Almighty Allah, for He is the Knower of the unseen, nor against the believers, because Almighty Allah informs the believers of the hypocrites' deceit through the Prophet ﷺ and through other proofs and indications.
