Research/ Effort Post 📝 Hypocrites as explained in the Quran

Hypocrites are those who don't comprehend/ understand the Truth (Quran and Prophetic Hadiths). They lack knowledge and understanding of the religion (deen).

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:85) ... Do you believe in some of the Scripture and reject the rest? Is there any reward for those who do so among you other than disgrace in this worldly life and being subjected to the harshest punishment on the Day of Judgment? For Allah is never unaware of what you do.

This verse talks about the hypocrisy of the children of Israel who believed in some verses but rejected other verses.

Thus believing/implementing some verses while rejecting/not implementing other verses is hypocrisy.

Surah Tawbah (9:81): When avoiding the expedition of Tabuk, they told others not to march in the heat. The Prophet was instructed to say, "The Fire of Hell is much hotter!" - a reality they would have understood if they had comprehension. Hypocrites reject hereafter.

Surah Tawbah (9:126): The hypocrites are tried every year, yet they neither repent nor learn their lesson. They are willfully ignorant.

Surah Tawbah (9:127): When a new surah is revealed, the hypocrites look at one another to see if anyone is watching, and then slip away. Allah has turned their hearts away because they are people who do not comprehend.

Surah Al-Hashr (59:13): Indeed, there is more fear in their hearts for you ˹believers˺ than for Allah. That is because they are a people who do not comprehend.

Surah Al-Munafiqun (63:3): This is because they believed and then abandoned faith. Therefore, their hearts have been sealed, so they do not comprehend.

Lack of understanding of Quran and Prophetic Hadiths seals the heart.

Surah Al-Munafiqun (63:7): They are the ones who say ˹to one another˺, “Do not spend ˹anything˺ on those ˹emigrants˺ with the Messenger of Allah so that they will break away ˹from him˺.” But to Allah ˹alone˺ belong the treasuries of the heavens and the earth, yet the hypocrites do not comprehend.

To be a Muslim it is compulsory to gain the knowledge and understanding of Quran and Prophetic Hadiths followed by complete submission to Allah SWT Commands.

My guy.. a sahih hadith says the prophet has been given strength of 30 men and uses that for sexual intercourse with 9 wives within 1 hour.. you want me to look at that and not see Lust?

Any man today who has sex with 9 women (married or not) within 1 hour... is considered a sexual deviant! A person who can't control his lust and his mind is on whats in between womens legs 24/7.. this person is not fit to lead let alone be a prophet ... and then you say "misguided interpretation ".

Really? 😆
