إِنَّ
الْمُنَافِقِينَ
يُخَادِعُونَ
اللَّهَ
وَهُوَ
خَادِعُهُمْ
وَإِذَا
قَامُوا
إِلَى
الصَّلَاةِ
قَامُوا
كُسَالَى
يُرَاءُونَ
النَّاسَ
وَلَا
يَذْكُرُونَ
اللَّهَ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلًا

The hypocrites try to deceive God but He, in fact, deceives them. They stand up in prayer lazily just to show that they pray, but, in truth they remember God very little.
