ISLAMIC AWAKENING
ABOUT HYPOCRICY
KNOW THYSELF
About Hypocrites Allah s.w.t says:
O Prophet! It is the
same, whether you ask forgiveness for them or not; even if you ask for their
forgiveness seventy times, Allah is not going to forgive them: because they have
disbelieved Allah and His Messenger. Allah does not guide those who are transgressors.[80] 9:[75-80]
Tauba
Who are hypocrites?
A very touchy question. Though clearly mentioned in Al-Qur’an Majeed, wal Furq’an Al-Hameed and explained thoroughly in Ahadith.
The reason is, nobody would like to feel himself cursed by Allah s.w.t and His Messenger pbuh.
Not all but most of the Muslims of these days do not know what is hypocrisy ? and unknowingly they are Hypocrites.
But they understand rather assured that they are Muslims and as such Paradise is written for them and will be gifted them ready made
To gain knowledge is compulsory on each Muslim and knowledge is the real knowledge of Deen. Because you have to leave a life after death that is not going to finish. And worldly knowledge is also encouraged but not preferred over knowledge of Deen because this world and on its surface, everything is going to perish. And for a well-come from Lord, in the next world one has to know what he has to do in this world. So that in the next world he could be at ease, and therefore knowledge of the Deen and act according to that knowledge base on Qu’ran and Sunnah is compulsory. For the information of those who do not know or do not realize what is Hypocrisy, here are some points of explanation:
There are some people who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day" yet they are not true believers.[8] They try to deceive Allah and the believers. However, they deceive none except themselves yet they do not realize it.[9] There is a disease of deception in their heart; and Allah lets their disease increase, and they shall have painful punishment for the lies they have told.[10] When it is said to them: "Do not make mischief on earth," they say: "We make peace."[11] Beware! They are the ones who make mischief but they do not realize it.[12]
Al-Baqarah
All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah. He is the All-Mighty, the All-
Wise.[1] O believers! Why do you say something which you don’t do?[2] It is very
hateful in the sight of Allah that you say something which you don’t do.[3]
As-Saff (surah 61)
Ahadith:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three:
1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise ).
3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)"
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
The Prophet said, "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.
1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.
4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner."
Not all but many Muslims do not either know or realize that the first day after resurrection that is Qiyamah, will be of 50,000 years! And other then that, each day in the count of Allah is always 1.000 years of this world’s (24 hours) day!
Imagine, the time of this world (Average Maximum 95 years) per person and the time of day of Judgment is alone sufficient for punishment or reward.
Out of average time of a person, say 70 years, his child -hood age is upto 12-14 years, he sleeps for at least 20 years, he studies worldly knowledge for about 17 years commencing from 4rth year of life. He earns his bread and butter for about 40 years (Maximum) and dies. When he dies, all that he earned worldly things and all worldly knowledge remained above the earth and he went down in the dust with only Deeds, Faith, Belief and his book of personal performance accounts and if that account is most of it is hypocrisy – what should one expect? If even 25 % of Muslims become true Muslims in faith, deed and belief and hold on to Qur’an and Sunnah the whole scenario can change and Muslims can havce their voice heard on every forum of the International importance.
May Allah s.w.t guide us on the righteous path Aameen
