The summary/theme of the surah al-munafiqun

The theme of Qur'an 63 is to inform believers that hypocrites are absolute liars. It also exhorts believers to be sincere in their faith and provide for their families.

Lesson learned from surah al-munafiqun

  1. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself or others of how you feel, Allah's knows the reality better than anyone.  
  2. If you jump at every call thinking it’s relevant to you, it is a sign of a guilty conscience.  
  3. The hypocrites would regularly do things that would deeply upset the Muslims, yet they couldn’t do much in retaliation given the circumstances. Allah's revealed this surah and many other Ayahs to console the hearts of the believers.  
  4. Only Allah's has total control over the treasures of the heavens and the earth.  
  5. Do not let your wealth and offspring distract you from the remembrance and obedience of Allah's.  
  6. A person who doesn’t give zak'h will see the punishment before he/she passes away, and will desire to be given respite to make amends; a desire that shall not be allowed to be fulfilled.
