Other signs of practical hypocrisy
0:13
Practical hypocrisy has other signs besides what has been mentioned.
0:17
The most important of these, firstly, is to be two-faced.
0:22
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "The worst of people are those with two faces."
0:27
Who comes to these people with one face,
0:30
and to those people with another face. (Agreed upon)
0:34
Among these is being fickle in one's speech and actions.
0:37
Showing love and affection,
0:39
while the heart harbors malice and hatred.
0:42
Or showing grief and sadness over the misfortunes of Muslims,
0:46
while the heart rejoices and gloats.
0:49
Secondly, little remembrance of Allah or aversion to it,
0:54
and laziness in obeying Allah.
0:56
Thirdly,
0:58
mocking what volunteers offer
1:01
in charitable projects,
1:03
and accusing them of hypocrisy (riya'),
1:05
claiming that Allah is self-sufficient and does not need their meager donations.
1:09
As Allah Almighty says:
1:11
"Those who criticize the volunteers
1:14
“Those who point at such of the believers as give the alms willingly and such as can find naught to give but their endeavours, and deride them - Allah (Himself) derideth them. Theirs will be a painful doom.” (9:79)
1:16
“Those who point at such of the believers as give the alms willingly and such as can find naught to give but their endeavours, and deride them - Allah (Himself) derideth them. Theirs will be a painful doom.” (9:79)
1:19
and mock them."
1:21
“Those who point at such of the believers as give the alms willingly and such as can find naught to give but their endeavours, and deride them - Allah (Himself) derideth them. Theirs will be a painful doom.” (9:79)
1:25
Fourthly,
1:28
rejoicing in being safe from trials in the cause of Allah,
1:31
and claiming that this is due to wisdom and intellect,
1:35
and prioritizing one's own safety and wealth over the safety of the religion.
1:39
Fifthly,
1:41
striving to please the general public or rulers
1:44
with fatwas they desire
1:46
and stances that contradict Allah's law.
1:49
Sixthly,
1:51
defending disbelievers and hypocrites
1:53
and praising them,
1:55
and aligning with them against reformist callers.
1:59
Seventhly,
2:01
indifference to the calamities that befall Muslims.
2:05
Eighthly,
2:07
striving to sow discord and incite conflict among Muslims.
2:11
Ninthly,
2:13
the hypocrisy of the wealthy and banks
2:15
who deceive people into believing their transactions are legitimate
2:19
and approved by Sharia committees,
2:23
and teaching this,
2:25
in order to extort people's wealth.
2:28
Tenthly,
2:30
the hypocrisy of some media outlets
2:33
that claim to be Islamic,
2:36
while they are like mosques of harm (masajid al-dirar),
2:39
undermining Islam with the doubts they spread,
2:42
and mixing truth with falsehood.
2:45
And perhaps they make themselves
2:47
mouthpieces for the oppressors and tyrants,
2:50
making their actions seem good and praising them.
2:54
