142 The hypocrites seek to deceive Allāh, and He will requite their deceit to them. And when they stand up for prayer, they stand up sluggishly — they do it only to be seen of men and remember Allāh but little,

143 Wavering between that (and this) — (belonging) neither to these nor to those. And whomsoever Allāh leaves in error, thou wilt not find a way for him.

144 O you who believe, take not the disbelievers for friends rather than the believers. Do you desire to give Allāh a manifest proof against yourselves?

145 The hypocrites are surely in the lowest depths of the Fire, and thou wilt find no helper for them,

146 Save those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allāh and are sincere in their obedience to Allāh — these are with the believers. And Allāh will soon grant the believers a mighty reward.

147 Why should Allāh chastise you if you are grateful and believe? And Allāh is ever Multiplier of rewards, Knowing.

Part 6

148 Allāh loves not the public utterance of hurtful speech, except by one who has been wronged. And Allāh is ever Hearing, Knowing.

149 If you do good openly or keep it secret or pardon an evil, Allāh surely is ever Pardoning, Powerful.

150 Those who disbelieve in Allāh and His messengers and desire to make a distinction between Allāh and His messengers and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others; and desire to take a course in between —

151 These are truly disbelievers; and We have prepared for the disbelievers an abasing chastisement.

152 And those who believe in Allāh and His messengers and make no distinction between any of them, to them He will grant their rewards. And Allāh is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
