أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ وَيُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا ﴿۶۰﴾ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَإِلَى الرَّسُولِ رَأَيْتَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْكَ صُدُودًا ﴿۶۱﴾ فَكَيْفَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ جَاءُوكَ يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا إِحْسَانًا وَتَوْفِيقًا ﴿۶۲﴾

﴾60﴿ Did you not see those who claim that they have believed in what was sent down to you and in what was sent down before you? They wish to take their disputes to the judgment of the rebellious (taghut), even though they were commanded to reject its judgment.
And Satan wants to lead them far astray.
﴾61﴿ And when it is said to them, “Come to the Book that Allah has sent down and to the Messenger,” you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion.
﴾62﴿ Then how will it be when a calamity befalls them because of what their own hands have sent forth? They will then come to you, swearing by Allah, "We only intended good and reconciliation."
