ومن عاش فيه بالحيل والمكر والدهاء فلا بد له من خزي في الدنيا ومقت في الأخرى وإن تسود هذا،
Whoever lives by deceit, trickery, and cunning will inevitably face disgrace in this world and contempt in the next, even if they gain prominence.
خِزْيٍ — disgrace. Genitive after 'from', this names the inevitable first fate: disgrace. Its ending follows from the idiom. It pairs with 'in this world' next to place the shame.
From: Intention in Islam →بل هو وبال على صاحبه وخزي وحسرة وندامة
Rather, it is a burden on the owner and a disgrace, regret, and remorse.
وَخِزْيٌ — and a disgrace. Joined by 'and', a second predicate noun coordinated with 'burden': it is also a disgrace. Its bare ending marks it indefinite; the chain of 'and' links several states the knowledge becomes.
