And the scholars agreed that the name of Muslims in appearance runs on the hypocrites, because they submitted outwardly and did what they brought forth of apparent deeds: in apparent prayer, in apparent zakat, in apparent pilgrimage, and in apparent jihad as the Prophet applied the rulings of Islam upon them.

And in it are two recitations: Darak and Darak. Abu Al-Husayn ibn Faris said: "Paradise has levels, and the Fire has sub-levels." Al-Dahhak said: "A degree is if some of it is above some, and Darak is if some of it is below some."
