Edip-Layth (Quran: A Reformist Translation)
63:1 When the hypocrites come to you they say, "We bear witness that you are the messenger of God." God knows that you are His messenger, and God bears witness that the hypocrites are liars.1

Islam, which is peacemaking or peacefully surrendering to God, is the system followed by all righteous monotheists since Adam, and its basic principle is testimony to the absolute and sole authority of God. This testimony is mentioned and advocated in 3:18. As if God forgot a crucial part of the testimony, Sunnis have the audacity to add in the statement Muhammedun Rasulullah (Muhammed is God's Messenger). The Shiite faction went even a step further and added Ali Hujjatullah (Ali is God's Argument). This mentality of adding the names of idolized creatures next to God has been exposed by 39:45. Verse 63:1, is the only verse in the Quran that contains the second part of the shahada (testimony). As with the word hadith, sunna, ijma, and sharia (33:38; 35:43; 42:21; 45:6), God knew in advance that the polytheists would add the name of their idols next to His name. Thus, God mentioned the second part as the utterance of hypocrites. Modern hypocrites do not really believe that Muhammed was merely a messenger since they claim that he was a partner with God in authoring God's religion. They think that Muhammed completed where God had forgotten and that he even abrogated some of the Quranic verses. A messenger of God would never do such a thing, since their only mission is to deliver God's message. Thus, those who add a testimony about Muhammed's messengership in the shahada in fact are lying in that testimony; the Muhammed in their mind is no messenger, but rather their imaginary god besides God.

The ``first pillar of Islam,'' as stated in 3:18 is to bear witness that God is the only god. But the corrupted ``Muslim'' scholars add ``Muhammad is God's messenger,'' and this violates a number of commandments (see 2:285). Verse 63:1 is the only place in the Quran where such a statement is made. Only the hypocrites make such a statement.

63:1 When the hypocrites come to you (O Prophet), they say, “We bear witness that you are God’s Messenger.” Yes, God knows that you are truly His Messenger, but God bears witness that the hypocrites are liars.1
Note 1
This is the 63rd Surah of the Qur’an. It has 11 verses. Hypocrisy is a personality disorder. It not only indicates a difference in word and action, but it is the antithesis to Conviction. A person with Conviction can be trusted in his word and action. On the contrary a hypocrite cannot be trusted. Linguistically the termMunaafiq is interesting. It refers to a person who, upon entering a situation, habitually looks for a way out. That is how rats in the wild dig their tunnels with one real opening and the other a fake opening just superficially covered with dust, in order to escape a predator. At places, the Qur’an terms their state as “a disease of the hearts.” It is to be noted that the hypocrites are not necessarily a group of people. They walked around the exalted Prophet as they do in every community today.

The leader of the hypocrites of Medina, Abd Allah ibn Ubayy, never forgave the Prophet for having overshadowed him who previously had been unquestioningly recognized by the people of Medina as their most outstanding leader. Since the Prophet's political strength depended mainly on the Meccan Muslims who followed him in his hijrah to Medina, Ibn Ubayy tried to persuade his compatriots - many of whom were supporting the newcomers with all the means at their disposal - to withdraw this material support and thereby force the muhajirun, most of whom were very poor, to leave Medina: a stratagem which, if successful would have greatly weakened the Prophet's position. This suggestion of the leader of the hypocrites was, of course, rejected by the ansar.
