Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:53)

وَيَقُوۡلُ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَهٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيۡنَ اَقۡسَمُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ جَهۡدَ اَيۡمَانِهِمۡۙ اِنَّهُمۡ لَمَعَكُمۡ ؕ حَبِطَتۡ اَعۡمَالُهُمۡ فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا خٰسِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝

Wayaqoolu allatheena amanoo ahaola-iallatheena aqsamoo billahi jahda aymanihiminnahum lamaAAakum habitat aAAmaluhum faasbahookhasireen

And those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by Allāh their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?" Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Shame of Alliance: The humiliation of the hypocrites when true success comes.

The Insight

The hypocrites will be ashamed of their hidden alliances when God grants decisive victory to the believers. **Focus on the final result.** Temporary alliances of convenience lead to long-term humiliation and regret when God exposes the truth.
