المنٰفقون — Al-Munafiqun Ayat 4
۞ وَاِذَا رَاَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ اَجْسَامُهُمْۗ وَاِنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْۗ كَاَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ ۗيَحْسَبُوْنَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْۗ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْۗ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۖاَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُوْنَ
Wa iżā ra'aitahum tu‘jibuka ajsāmuhum, wa iy yaqūlū tasma‘ liqaulihim, ka'annahum khusyubum musannadah(tun), yaḥsabūna kulla ṣaiḥatin ‘alaihim, humul-‘aduwwu faḥżarhum, qātalahumullāh(u), annā yu'fakūn(a).
"And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?"

Reflection and Practical Meaning

This method keeps reflection grounded and practical.
