The HypocritesHow to read the Hangul
الرَّحْمَٰنِ르r라흐마니 بِسْمِ비스밀
- Bold = the stressed syllable of the word; a little stronger.
- Overline = long vowel (madd): hold it about two beats. Length matters most in recitation.
- Tiny = no vowel in the Arabic here — just the consonant, short.
- Small Latin letter = a sound Korean lacks, on the next syllable: f upper teeth on lower lip · θ/ð tongue tip between the teeth · r rolled tongue tip (a bare ㄹ is l).
How to read the Hangul
beginning the Christ salvation
- Bold, larger (ˈ) = say it strong and a little longer — the stressed syllable.
- Faint = weak and short (a reduced vowel). Don't give every syllable equal weight.
- Tiny 으 · 트 · 스 = barely voiced. English has no vowel there — stop on the consonant.
- Whole word faint (the, of, and, to…) = light and quick in a sentence; stress the content words.
- Small f v θ ð r = sounds Korean doesn't have — f: upper teeth on the lower lip; v: the same, voiced; θ/ð: tongue tip between the teeth; r: tongue curled back, touching nothing.

Surah
About this surah
Classified as revealed in the Medinan period, this surah opens with the hypocrites coming to the Messenger and testifying that he is God's Messenger, while God testifies that the hypocrites are liars. They are described as using their oaths as a shield, as impressive in appearance and speech yet like propped-up timbers, and as turning their heads away in arrogance when invited to have the Messenger ask forgiveness for them. The surah quotes their words: that nothing should be given to those around the Messenger until they drift away, and that on returning to Medina the more honourable would expel the more humble. It answers that honour belongs to God, His Messenger and the believers. Finally it urges believers not to let wealth and children distract them from God, and to spend before death arrives and it is too late to ask for delay.
