The Commander of the Faithful (a) related the following from the Prophet (s) about those adversaries: “I have never been frightened of any country taking of Islam. I only worry about one group of people, the unbelievers who pretend to be Muslim, the two-faced hypocrites. They have eloquent speech, but in actuality, they are the Muslims' enemies.

They are with you in their words, but, in reality, they would never take a step with you.”[^1] TWO SU-RAHS THAT STAND OUT FROM THE REST The author has decided to choose two su-rahs from the Qura-n to sincerely, in straightforward language, comment upon. They were chosen because of special importance that the hypocrites played in Islamic history. These two su-rahs explain the relevance and reality behind hypocrites more than any other chapters do.

The goal of this effort is for the children of Islam t become more aware of their heavenly scripture. These two su-rahs are: Su-rah Repentence (tawbah). A commentary on this su-rah has been published as a series of articles in the magazine “Lessons from the School of Islam” (Darsha-ye az Maktab Islam). Now, with the will of Allah, it is being published as a book. Su-rah Hypocrites (Muna-fiqu-n). This su-rah has revealed the intentions of this group.

📌It has also gone on to mention every other kind of enemy that Islam has. The different topics that are covered in this commentary of the Qura-n have also been published in the aforementioned magazine. Now, this commentary is being presented to the reader, with additions, in the form of a book. Notes: [^1] Nahj al-Bala-ghah, ?Abduh, volume 3, page 33…
