یُخٰدِعُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ۚ وَمَا یَخْدَعُوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ ۟ؕ

Saheeh International
They [think to] deceive Allāh and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
They think that they can deceive Allah and the believers by acting outside as if they believe, while inside hiding their disbelief; but really, they only deceive themselves, without realising it. Allah knows all that is secret and hidden, and has told the believers what these people are like.
