Surah al-Munafiqun (The Hypocrites ) 63 : 8

يَقُولُونَ لَئِن رَّجَعْنَآ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ ٱلْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا ٱلْأَذَلَّ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

They say, "If we return to al-Madīnah, the more honoured will surely expel therefrom the low [i.e., inferior]." And to Allāh belongs [all] honour, and to His Messenger, and to the Believers, but the hypocrites do not know.

Explanatory Note

God includes with Himself His Messenger and the believers, bestowing His own honour on them. This is a gesture of honouring that only God can bestow. What is more honourable than God's hand placing the Prophet and the believers next to Himself and saying: 'Here We are, standing under the banner of honour, and this is the rank of the honourable.'

God certainly tells the truth as He intertwines honour with faith in a believer's heart. Such is the honour that derives from God's own honour. It never shrinks, gives way or abandons a believer, not even in the most difficult of times, unless his Faith weakens. When faith is solidly established in a person's heart, honour and dignity remain solid within him. "But the hypocrites do not know."  How are they to know when they do not appreciate this sort of honour and dignity and are cut off from their eternal source?
