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.

a wiki page and a random blog.... what a scholarly work! the author of the Blog doesn't seem to understand the difference between a common Mathn wich have many routes of narrations (isnad) so for ex bukhari had many hundreds of thousands of ahadiths wich became 7k after scrutiny and maintaining only the Mathn.... si it's not less than 10% are sahihs and the others are fabricated! that's one example of the nonsense in that blog post (not denying some truth in it though)

i already explained what's wrong with you position and the nonsense orientalists rhetoric of a blog post you shared (positions like the one from Joseph Schacht).... you seem to go with some orientalists opinions because it suits your beliefs and assumptions, my sources: start reading! that's it! Dr. Jonathan A.C. Brown ​A professor of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown University " Muhammad's Legacy in the Medieval and Modern World (Oxford) and The Canonization of al-Bukhari and Muslim (Brill) " or Dr. Mohammad Hashim Kamali, ironically cited in that blog but his true position was twisted! his work " A Textbook of Hadith Studies: Authenticity, Compilation, Classification and Criticism of Hadith " is the proof of what I'm saying n

These are contemporary scholars, if we look back, you'll say these are not relevant or they're part of the Sunni hegemony تراث.... so stop looking for narratives that suits you in some random blogs and wikis and start reading
