Ayah: 53

وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمَعَكُمۡۚ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ

53. And those who believe will say (about the hypocrites after their exposure): Are these the ones who swore by Allāh with their most solemn oath that they were indeed with you? Their deeds have become worthless, so they have become losers49.

49. These hypocrites, honoring Allāh with their lips while their hearts are far from Him. They worship Allāh in vain, He avers, since they have abandoned “the commandment of Allāh and hold in its place the tradition of men. Besides earning the Anger of Allāh and having their thin cover blown, all what they bargained for and threw their weight behind came to nothing. Thus, the immensity of their loss.
