سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْفَالِ
Surah Al-Anfaal (8) — Ayah 49
إِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ غَرَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ دِينُهُمْ ۗ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ﴿49﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was a disease (of disbelief) said: "These people (Muslims) are deceived by their religion." But whoever puts his trust in Allâh, then surely, Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
49. When the hypocrites and those with disease in their hearts [54] were saying, "These Muslims have been deceived by their religion." But whoever puts his trust in Allah, then surely Allah is Mighty and Wise.

The Taunt of the Jews and Hypocrites Against the Mujahideen of Badr:
The hypocrites and Jews of Madinah used to say that these Muslims have become mad in their religious zeal. How could this small, ill-equipped group be ready to confront a mighty power like the Quraysh—if not out of madness? They wondered what kind of delusion these people were under. As for themselves, they saw the Muslims’ destruction as certain in this battle, and, seeing everything clearly, believed the Muslims were inviting their own deaths. Allah Almighty said: It is not the Muslims who are mad, but rather these people themselves, who do not understand that whoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah surely helps him. He is dominant in giving help and knows all the ways to do so.
