Read in Context

Chapter 2, Page 3, Juz 1

8. Some people say, ‘We believe in God and the Last Day,’ when really they do not believe. 9. They seek to deceive God and the believers but they only deceive themselves, though they do not realize it. 10. There is a disease in their hearts, to which God has added more: agonizing torment awaits them for their persistent lying. 11. When it is said to them, ‘Do not cause corruption in the land,’ they say, ‘We are only putting things right,’ 12. but really they are causing corruption, though they do not realize it. 13. When it is said to them, ‘Believe, as the others believe,’ they say, ‘Should we believe as the fools do?’ but they are the fools, though they do not know it. 14. When they meet the believers, they say, ‘We believe,’ but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, ‘We’re really with you; we were only mocking.’ 15. God is mocking them, and allowing them more slack to wander blindly in their insolence. 16. They have bought error in exchange for guidance, so their trade reaps no profit, and they are not rightly guided.
