Transliteration:( Wa'adal laahul munafiqeena wal munaafiqaati wal kuffaara naara jahannnamma khaalideena feehaa; hiya hasbuhum; wa la'annahumul laahu wa lahum 'azaabum muqeem )
"Allah has promised the hypocrite men and hypocrite women, as well as the disbelievers, the fire of Hell, wherein they will abide forever. That is sufficient for them. And the curse of Allah is upon them, and for them is a lasting punishment."
This verse clearly states that Allah’s promise of eternal punishment in the fire of Hell applies equally to both hypocrite men and women as well as to the open disbelievers. Their fate is sealed by their rejection and hypocrisy, and this warning alone should be enough to deter wrongdoing. The curse of Allah rests upon them, emphasizing the severity and permanence of their punishment.
It is important to note that in Islamic law (Shariah), the ruling for hypocrites differs from that for disbelievers because Shariah judgments are primarily based on outward actions. Consequently, there is no formal declaration of war or fight against hypocrites as there is against open disbelievers, since hypocrisy concerns internal belief and concealment rather than overt hostility.
