Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: [Al-Baqarah 2:10] The lesson ends today?? In this noble verse, there are benefits: First, that the hypocrites are those with diseased hearts, as He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:10] And He made the disease surrounded by the preposition of the heart, as if it is firmly established in the heart — may Allah protect us from that — [Al-Baqarah 2:10] So what is the disease of these people? The disease of these people is doubt, or disbelief, denial, deception, plotting, and the like. And among the benefits of this noble verse: that whoever Allah knows has evil and badness in him, He increases him in his badness and evil. For this reason, He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:10] And this is more severe than His saying, the Exalted: [As-Saf 61:5] Because this is explicit that Allah, the Exalted, increased their disease, and if the disease increases, the outcome is destruction. And among the benefits of the noble verse: the warning of these hypocrites with painful, hurting punishment, as He said, the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:10]. And among its benefits: establishing causality, as He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:10] And in a reading: as mentioned, so they are liars and deniers. And this is among the benefits of the two readings: that the first indicates that they themselves are lying, and the second: that they are denying the truth and sincerity.
