Translation of the verse 9 from Surah Al-Baqarah : Number of verses 286 - - page 3 - Part 1.
They (think to) deceive Allah and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not!
They [think to] deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
(2:9) They thus try to deceive Allah and the Believers, but they succeed in deceiving none except themselves and they realize it not *11 .
*11). These people delude themselves that their hypocritical behaviour will profit them when in fact it will prove harmful both in this world and the Next. A hypoctite may be able to fool people for a while, but it does not last long; his hypocrisy is ultimately seen through. As for the Next Life, it is obvious that his claim to be a true believer is contradicted by his own actions and is thus quite worthless.
