فَمَا لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَٱللَّهُ أَرْكَسَهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوٓا۟ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَهْدُوا۟ مَنْ أَضَلَّ ٱللَّهُ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥسَبِيلًا 88
وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُوا۟ فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَآءً فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ حَتَّىٰ يُهَاجِرُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَخُذُوهُمْ وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْحَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا 89
88. What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the
hypocrites, when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they
earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? And he whom Allah
sendeth astray, for him thou (O Muhammad) canst not find a way.
89a. They long that ye should disbelieve even as they
disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends
from them till they forsake their homes in the Way of Allah;

Commentary
Munaafi-qiina - it is plural of Munaafiq which means hypocrites, which are being discussed since many lessons
back. They are called hypocrites, whose outward appearance and inward qualities
are not uniform, whose outward behavior is only for showing. In the beginning
of Islam, these people were of two kinds.
·
Those persons, who used to say
themselves Muslims, but actually they were infidels by hearts.
·
The people, who were infidels, but
they wished to keep association, union and friendly relationship with the
Muslims.
Now the discussion about the second
kind of group begins.
In the beginning of Islam, some
people had not embraced Islam, but they used to tie friendship and love with
the Muslims. They desired that whenever Muslims fight against the infidels,
they should leave them considering their friends, and their wealth and lives
might be remained safe. When it was known that their aim is only to save
themselves from any kind of loss and to hurt the Muslims, then the Muslims
became two parties. One of them used to say, “we should give up meeting the
fiends of their own intentions cordially”. The other party used to say, “What
do they mar us? May be some of them become Muslims in imitation”.
It has been declared in this verse
that it was useless to meet the selfish people cordially. Their deeds are too
much bad that Allah Almighty has kept
them deprived of such blessing like Islam and returned them towards infidelity.
Nobody can guide them towards the Straight Path, to whom Allah Almighty sends
astray due to punishment of their wicked deeds. Actually, they wish to bring
you also back to infidelity. But you have embraced Islam and even left your
birth-place. Therefore, as long as they also do not leave their native land and
do not get ready to sacrifice their wealth and property, wives and children,
rest and comfort (even everything), you should never make them friends.
