Such a person makes a show of claiming friendship with Allah and the true attainment of faith and spiritual knowledge, while being among the worst of those who harbour enmity towards Allah and practise hypocrisy and slander.

Allah Most High brings together the good of this world and the Hereafter for His God-fearing friends, while leaving His enemies with a losing bargain. And Allah knows best.
