In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
The copy of the Qur'an that I have is a bilingual- in the original Arabic script, with its English translation side by side. I also have a smaller sized Arabic Qur'an once owned by my Mom, which I use to read out loud every morning before the dawn prayer. Right now in my smaller Qur'an, I've paused at chapter 63: The Hypocrites.
Again, how do you spot a hypocrite Muslim, Christian, or Jew, Julia? O you sincere Muslim, inshaAllah? They usually dress nicely, and are pleasing to the eye, so it's hard to tell when they influence our emotions so. The Qur'an gives a formula: you can detect a hypocrite by the expression of disgust on his/her face when he/she turns away after talking to you.

Qur'an 20130723
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
23. Have you turned your vision to those who have been given a portion of the Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah to settle their dispute, but a party of them turn back and decline.
24. This because they say, "The fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days." For their forgeries deceive them as to their own religion.
25. But how, when We gather them together against a Day about which there is no doubt, and each soul will be paid out just what it has earned, without injustice?
26. Say, "O Allah! Lord of Power! You give Power to whom you please, and You strip off Power from whom You please. You endue with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please. In Your Hand is all Good. Verily, over all things You have Power."
The Family of Imran 3:21-26

O Allah! Lord of Power! You give Power to whom you please, and You strip off Power from whom You please. You endue with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please. In Your Hand is all Good. Verily, over all things You have Power.
Those who killed the prophets of Allah, and those who killed people who teach just dealing with mankind have no clue of power, and the measure of time. Allah promises them a grievous penalty. They will get theirs, if not already.
