➋ This is the answer to the question of how it is possible that someone could deceive Allah, Who is the Knower of the unseen, and deceive the believers, who are unsurpassed in insight, and think that he has succeeded in deceiving them. It is stated that the reason is that their hearts are afflicted with such a disease that it has brought them to the ultimate level of self-delusion. That disease is hypocrisy, which is the attempt to conceal disbelief. From this disease, countless other psychological illnesses arise and continue to increase, such as lying, betrayal, breaking promises, breach of trust, and foul language, which the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has declared to be signs of a hypocrite. Likewise, corruption, self-admiration, foolishness, double-dealing, which are mentioned in the following verses, and many other diseases such as cowardice, greed, miserliness, fleeing from jihad, etc., which are mentioned in Surah At-Tawbah and other surahs.
➌ { بِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْذِبُوْنَ:} Because the hypocrites are inwardly disbelievers, they were deserving of a great punishment; now, due to their false claim of Islam, they have become deserving of a painful punishment, that is, a double punishment.

[14] By "disease" is meant hypocrisy, aversion to the religion of Islam, and jealousy and enmity towards the Muslims. Then, as the glory of Islam and the people of Islam increased, their disease also increased. [15] This lie was the same claim they used to make, that:
﴿ اٰمَنَّا باللّٰهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ﴾
whereas their actions and their movements were in the opposite direction of this claim. That is why they will have a painful punishment, as Allah Almighty has said in another place:
﴿ اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْاَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ ﴾ [145: 4]
Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire.
