00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,699
A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,699 --> 00:00:12,439
Hypocrisy is of two types.

3
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:17,440
Hypocrisy is of two types: major hypocrisy and minor hypocrisy.

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,469
Major hypocrisy is also called creedal hypocrisy.

5
00:00:22,469 --> 00:00:30,469
This type expels its adherent from the Ummah and will place them in the lowest level of the Fire in the Hereafter, if they die upon it.

6
00:00:30,469 --> 00:00:39,469
Its reality is that a person outwardly professes belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and divine decree,

7
00:00:39,469 --> 00:00:43,469
while inwardly concealing what contradicts all of that, or some of it.

8
00:00:43,469 --> 00:00:48,469
This is the hypocrisy that existed during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

9
00:00:48,469 --> 00:00:54,469
The Qur'an was revealed to warn against it, condemn its adherents, and declare them disbelievers.

10
00:00:55,469 --> 00:01:03,469
“That is because they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their hearts are sealed so that they understand not.” (63:3)

11
00:01:03,469 --> 00:01:07,540
They are more severe in disbelief and enmity than outright disbelievers.

12
00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:12,540
As Allah the Almighty said about them: "They are the enemy, so beware of them."

13
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:16,629
Among the most important forms of major hypocrisy and the characteristics of its adherents are:

14
00:01:17,629 --> 00:01:25,629
First, enmity towards the believers, as mentioned in the preceding verse, and hatred of their victory over the disbelievers.

15
00:01:25,629 --> 00:01:31,629
Second, hatred of the Messenger, peace be upon him, and what he brought.

16
00:01:31,629 --> 00:01:35,629
And turning away from him, harming him, or criticizing and slandering him.

17
00:01:35,629 --> 00:01:42,730
Third, joy and delight at the defeat of the Muslims and the decline of their religion.

18
00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:50,730
Fourth, mocking the believers because of their faith and their obedience to the Messenger, peace be upon him.

19
00:01:50,730 --> 00:01:58,730
Fifth, slandering Islamic law and describing it as harsh and contradictory to humanity,

20
00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:01,730
and not suitable for our time.

21
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:08,759
Sixth, siding with the disbelievers and loving their legislation which contradicts Allah's law.

22
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,759
Seventh, loving the victory of the disbelievers over the Muslims.

23
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:22,860
And how clear these characteristics are in the hypocrites of our time, be they politicians, media figures, secularists, or liberals.

24
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:28,860
They claim to love their homeland, but in reality, they are enemies of the homeland and its interests,

25
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:34,860
by their loyalty to its enemies and their enmity towards Allah's law and those who call to it.

26
00:02:34,860 --> 00:02:38,860
And by their spreading of corruption and indecency among the sons of the Ummah,

27
00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:44,860
and by corrupting their religion, their souls, their minds, their wealth, and their honor.

28
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:52,020
Major hypocrisy occurs if its adherent does not manifest it except in the tone of speech.

29
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:56,020
However, if they manifest the preceding nullifiers and call to them,

30
00:02:56,020 --> 00:03:01,020
then at that point, they become apostates, and the rulings of an apostate apply to them.

31
00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:06,180
Minor hypocrisy is also called practical hypocrisy.

32
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:11,180
This is when a person exhibits some of the characteristics and deeds of the hypocrites,

33
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:14,180
while still possessing the fundamental basis of faith.

34
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:17,180
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, warned

35
00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:20,180
about the most dangerous of these characteristics, saying:

36
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:22,180
"There are three signs of a hypocrite:

37
00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:25,180
when he speaks, he lies;

38
00:03:25,180 --> 00:03:27,180
when he makes a promise, he breaks it;

39
00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:29,180
and when he is entrusted, he betrays."

40
00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:33,210
And the Prophet, peace be upon him, also said:

41
00:03:34,210 --> 00:03:38,210
"Whoever has four characteristics will be a pure hypocrite,

42
00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:41,210
and whoever has one characteristic from them

43
00:03:41,210 --> 00:03:45,210
will have a characteristic of hypocrisy until he abandons it:

44
00:03:45,210 --> 00:03:47,210
when he is entrusted, he betrays;

45
00:03:47,210 --> 00:03:49,210
when he speaks, he lies;

46
00:03:49,210 --> 00:03:51,210
when he makes a covenant, he breaks it;

47
00:03:51,210 --> 00:03:54,210
and when he disputes, he acts immorally."

48
00:03:54,210 --> 00:03:56,400
Agreed upon.

49
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,400
The one who possesses these characteristics is similar in his deeds to the hypocrites,

50
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,400
even if he does not inwardly disbelieve,

51
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,400
because he has combined practical hypocrisy with the basis of faith.

52
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,400
However, if these characteristics become entrenched and complete,

53
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,400
then their possessor may completely detach from Islam,

54
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,399
and become a pure hypocrite.

55
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,589
The summary of the matter is:

56
00:04:19,589 --> 00:04:24,589
that minor hypocrisy all returns to the discrepancy between what is hidden and what is public.
