Al-Mujaadila (The Pleading Woman)

16. They have made their oaths a shield and hindered men from the Path of Allah. Therefore, they shall have a humiliating torment.

They take oaths saying that they are Muslims aiming at nothing but improvement, but they use such oaths as pretexts for their corruption, sabotage, and conspiracy. In fact, they take advantage out of the Sacred Name of God Almighty to impede men from treading the Path of Allah. Taking false oaths disclose hypocrites. Their attributes are also found elsewhere in the Holy Qur’an¹ .

The blessed Verse closes by saying that as a consequence of their hypocrisy;

“they shall have a humiliating torment.”
