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 Surahs That Stand Out From The Rest The author has decided to choose two surahs from the Qur’an to sincerely, in straightforward language, comment upon. They were chosen because of special importance that the hypocrites played in Islamic history. These two surahs 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 surahs are: Surah at-Tawbah (Repentance, n 9). A commentary on this surah has been published as a series of articles in the magazine “Lessons from the School of Islam” ( Darshaye az Maktab Islam ). Now, with the will of Allah, it is being published as a book. Surah al-Munafiqun *(*Hypocrites, n. 63). This surah 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 Qur’an 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. [^1]: Nahj al-Balaghah, ‛Abduh, volume 3, page 33…
