THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 11th day of Rabeeul Awwal (Wednesday 28th October. 2020). *_THE EVIL NATURE OF Hypocrisy CONTINUES_*. BismilLah.
Let's continue from our reminder yesterday;
Among the characteristics of hypocrites among Muslims especially of today are those which were described by the Messenger (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him):
“There are four (characteristics), whoever has all of them is a complete hypocrite, and whoever has some of them has some element of hypocrisy, unless HE or she gives it up: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a treaty, he betrays it; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; when he quarrels, he resorts to insults.”(Narrated by Imam Muslim, 53). If you are within these list then please repent to ALLAH seeking HIS guidance and forgiveness.
Among their characteristics is a concern with appearances and fancy speech whilst they are inwardly corrupt.
“And when you look at them, their bodies please you; and when they speak, you listen to their words. They are as blocks of wood propped up. They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies, so beware of them. May ALLAH curse them! How are they denying (or deviating from) the Right Path?”[al-Munaafiqoon 63:4]. Pastors today are best example for this verse.
If the kuffaar are obvious enemies from within, then the hypocrites are hidden enemies from within. They are more harmful and more dangerous to the Muslims, because they mix with us and know our situation. ALLAH has decreed that the ultimate destiny of the kuffaar and hypocrites will be in Hell:
“Surely, ALLAH will collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell Quran 4:140.
But because of the seriousness of the harm they cause, the hypocrites will be in the lowest level of Hell, as ALLAH says:
“Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depth (grade) of the Fire”[al-Nisaa’ 4:145]. *_May ALLAH keep guiding our eemaan and protect us from any form of hypocrisy_*. Aameen.
