And of the people there are some who say, ‘We believe in Allāh and the Last Day;’ while they are not believers at all. /
In their hearts was a disease, and Allāh has increased their disease to them; and for them is a grievous punishment because they lied. /
And when it is said to them: ‘Create not disorder on the earth,’ they say: ‘We are only promoters of peace.’ /
Beware! it is surely they who create disorder, but they do not perceive it. /
