The Holy Quran 63:8 — Surah Al-Munafiqun

Arabic text

يَقُولُونَ لَئِن رَّجَعْنَآ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ ٱلْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا ٱلْأَذَلَّ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

They (the Munaafiqeen) say, “If we return to Madinah, the honourable ones among us (the people of Madinah) shall certainly exile the humiliated ones (the Muhaajireen).” (However, they fail to realise that it is the true Mu'mineen who are truly honourable because) All honour belongs to Allaah, His Rasool ﷺ and the Mu'mineen, but the Munaafiqeen do not know it.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Honour belongs to Allah, His Messenger ﷺ and the believers: that is, the hypocrites do not know who is mighty and who is honourable. Remember: true and intrinsic honour belongs to Allah, and after Him, by degrees, through their connection with Him, to the Messenger and the believers.
