Al Tawbah

وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ وَمَا هُمْ مِنكُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ

56 . “And they swear by Allah that they are most surely of you, while they are not of you. But they are a people that are afraid.”

The Arabic term /yafraqūn/, used in the abovementioned verse, means the intense of fear. As if their hearts burst from fear. One of the means of hypocrites, which they applied frequently, was ‘a false oath’. That is why we should not haste in accepting the repentance of a hypocrite and believing his claims, because hypocrites are liars. The verse says:

However, heartily fear and terror are among the signs of hypocrites.
