    What is a hypocrite?
    Basically, people who speak nonsense and cannot take responsibility for his own words and action.

    Peace,

    What is a hypocrite?

    Al-Munafiqoon (THE HYPOCRITES)

    Total Verses 11
    Revealed At MADINA

    Verse001
    Yusuf Ali When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say "We bear witness that thou art indeed the Messenger
    of Allah." Yea, Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His Messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the Hypocrites
    are indeed liars.

    Verse002

    Pickthal They make their faith a pretext so that they may turn (men) from the way of Allah. Verily evil is
    that which they are wont to do,

    Verse003
    Abdul Daryabadi That is, because they believed, and thereafter disbelieved, wherefore their hearts are sealed,
    so that they understand not.

    Verse004

    When you see them, you may be impressed by their looks. And when they speak, you may listen to their
    eloquence. They are like standing logs. They think that every call is intended against them. These are the real
    enemies; beware of them. GOD condemns them; they have deviated.

    Verse005

    Yusuf Ali And when it is said to them "Come, the Messenger of Allah will pray for your forgiveness", they turn
    aside their heads, and thou wouldst see them turning away their faces in arrogance.

    Verse006
    Abdul Daryabadi Equal it is Unto them whether thou askest forgiveness for them or askest not forgiveness for
    them, Allah shall forgive them not. Verily Allah guideth not a transgressing people.

    Verse007

    Pickthal They it is who say Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may
    disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the
    hypocrites comprehend not. (misunderstand)

    Verse008
    Abdul Daryabadi They say surely, if we return to Madina the mightier shall drive out the meaner thence
    whereas might is Allahs and His apostles and the believers; yet the hypocrites know not. (self serving)

    Verse009
    Abdul Daryabadi O ye who believe let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance
    of Allah. And whosoever doth that then those! they are the losers.

    Verse010
    Abdul Daryabadi And expend of that wherewith We have provided you afore death cometh Unto one of you,
    and he saith my Lord! wouldst Thou not defer me for a short term, so that I would give alms and become
    of the righteous. (withhold alms/ stingy)

    Verse011
    Abdul Daryabadi And Allah deferreth not a soul when its term- hath come; and Allah is Aware of that which ye do.

    God bless

    peace

      Most people would say something irrational to cover their nonsense; rather than giving the proof.

      For me, only speak what you can prove with clear authority from the Quran, not what you cannot prove with from the Quran.

      For example. .

      Verse007

      Pickthal They it is who say Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may
      disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the
      hypocrites comprehend not. (misunderstand)

      To simply claim that they understand, is not the prove that they understand.
      One have to give reasons, justification and logical explanations.

      One cannot simply say "Allah guided me and I comprehend, you are not. Allah will strike you with lightening and burn you in hell".
      This is not reasoning, but it is "arrogance",
      He claimed to know more than Allah, and for matters that Allah said "no one knows".

      Allah said "no one knows"
      He said "I know"
      Therefore, he claimed to be smarter than Allah, knowing what Allah doesn't know.

      Allah said "Prostrate to Adam"
      Iblees said "I'm better than Adam"
      Therefore, he claimed to be smarter than Allah, knowing what Allah doesn't know.

        Peace muslims,

        I copied surah Al-Munafiqoon, and verse 7 to makes it clear (IMHO) that the hypocrites do not trust or have
        faith that the path is ultimately beneficial to them, and that their position or viewpoint shows a lack of understanding.
        The verse does not claim that the hypocrites claim to understand.

        Your reply sounds personal and directed at someone, is this a continuation of the "who is a kafir" comment
        by another member followed by the "contravene" thread? A thinly veiled personal attack? If so please
        address that person. To use your expression rotfl

        God bless

        peace

            No offence and not specifically referring to anyone

            but just to share my system and understanding for getting a clue of the hypocrites in Islam. . .

            It is just a clue, but not necessarily correct because there are also other factors . . .
            including some might not realize the rules from the Quran and they are too excited about Islam etc.

            A. The following verse about avoiding the nonsense and the justification for this reminder of Allah . . .

            It is He who has sent down to you, the Book;

            in it are verses precise <- muslim's concern, practical aspects of life
            they are the foundation of the Book

            and others unspecific <- the hypocrite's concern, what is Allah, hell, paradise, angels etc, ie. the nonsense
            As for those in whose hearts is deviation
            they will follow that of it which is unspecific
            seeking discord and seeking an interpretation

            And no one knows its interpretation <- main premises, and it does not mean someone will know
            except Allah

            But those firm in knowledge say,
            ?We believe in it. All is from our Lord.?
            And no one will be reminded (with this reminder) except those of understanding (ie. those with no nonsense).
            3.7

            Okay, why? Because Allah does not want to distress the society, and so that people can unite. . .

            O you who have believed
            DO NOT ASK about things which <- prohibition, if disobey ? refer here
            if they are shown to you, will distress you <- no distress, so that society can unite, to simplify life
            But if you ask about them while the Qur?an is being revealed
            they will be shown to you <- people are free to do whatever is not in the Quran
            Allah has pardoned that which is past
            and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing. <- freedom! it is okay if it is wrong etc, Allah forgive
            5.105

            The disbelievers and hypocrites like to invent a falsehood against Allah, ie. claiming things that Allah says no one knows etc and make their own rules. . .

            And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth,
            ?This is lawful
            and this is unlawful,?
            to invent falsehood about Allah .
            Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed.
            16.116

            . . .

            B. Why there is the allegorical in the Quran ?

            The Quran is a trap and for detecting the hypocrites and disbelievers. . .

            It is a system invented by Allah to separate the Believers and the Hypocrites.

            Over it are nineteen .
            And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels.
            And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve

            (1) that those who were given the Scripture
            will be convinced

            (2) and those who have believed
            will increase in faith

            (3) and those who were given the Scripture and the believers
            will not doubt

            (4) and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say,
            ?What does Allah intend by this as an example??
            Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.

            And none knows <- main premises, and it does not mean someone will know
            the soldiers of your Lord except Him.
            And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
            7430-31

            C. It is a trap, and the whole system is to "make evident" so that the Believers are aware who might be the disbelievers and the hypocrites. . .

            Do the people think
            that they will be left to say,
            ?We believe?
            and they will not be tried?

            But We have certainly tried those before them
            and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful
            and He will surely make evident the liars

            Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us?
            Evil is what they judge
            (292-4)

            The hypocrites cannot hide themselves from this system. . . everything in Islam is an evidence based system.

            People can get a clue as early they open their mouth. . . perfect system.

              I always felt the the quran is some sort of powerful "dynamite" that enhances you in whatever direction you go.
              If your direction in life has a quality of sincere goodness, then your interpretation, expression and application of the quran will be accordingly. If your direction in life on the other hand has the quality of cheating, betrayal, exploitation, lying etc then your interpretation of the quran will be of the worst kind... interpreting everything in a way that ends up being oppressive, difficult, unjust, cruel and insane.
              Therefore, the quran is not to be taken lightly... it is, so to say, powerful stuff, and needs to be handled carefully.. with a sincere and good heart. Whatever dirt you have in your character, will potentially become magnified when you interact with the quran.

              Peace

                I always felt the the quran is some sort of powerful "dynamite" that enhances you in whatever direction you go.

                I believe the Quran must have the embedded system to help the Believers identify the Hypocrites. . .
                That's why there is the allegorical in the Quran. . .
                as a system to separate the Believers and the Hypocrites, "the nonsense". . .

                Allah would not leave the believers in that you are in
                until He separates the evil from the good.
                3.179

                and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful
                and He will surely make evident the liars
                Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us?
                (292-4) (above)

                and this nonsense what hindered the Muslim Ummah from progress in real worlds. . . they live in illusion and irrational thinking.
                discussing things that Allah says "no one knows its interpretation"

                however and from this system, people can start identify the Believers and build their community or group. . .
                they can start makes plan and try to progress in real life . . .
                maybe this what "the nonsense" elements in the Quran is for to the Believers. . . this is the "key"

                  Peace

                  Peace Man of Faith,

                  Thanks for the addition, as you say, " Interpretation of the Quran through wishful
                  thinking" is an awesome quality of Quran Kareem and that is what I call "the mirror
                  effect" what I mean by this is that the Quran exposes our true convictions.

                  After the setback, He sent down upon you peaceful slumber that pacified
                  some of you. Others among you were selfishly concerned about themselves.
                  They harbored thoughts about GOD that were not right? the same thoughts
                  they had harbored during the days of ignorance. Thus, they said, "Is anything
                  up to us?" Say, "Everything is up to GOD." They concealed inside themselves
                  what they did not reveal to you. They said, "If it was up to us, none of us would
                  have been killed in this battle." Say, "Had you stayed in your homes, those
                  destined to be killed would have crawled into their death beds." GOD thus puts
                  you to the test to bring out your true convictions, and to test what is in your hearts.
                  GOD is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.

                  The inheritly violent person will "see" the Quran as a warriors manual, the confused
                  person will be confused by it, the non-believer will see it as nonsense, the humble
                  person will be made content by it. The person in search of salvation can find wisdom
                  in its ayats. The tyrant will use it to further his agenda, the believer wll be brought
                  to tears and will fall prostrate.
                  What a book!

                  All praise to God lord of the Universe

                  peace

                  Peace Zulf,

                  We agree

                  God bless

                  peace

                    How can you understand that verse is about the Quran ? confused

                    There is nothing in that verse that speak about the Quran

                    God is speaking about the Battle of Uhud as the test to bring out their true convictions and what is in their hearts, it is not about the Quran. . . laugh

                    Whatever dirt you have in your character, will potentially become magnified when you interact with the quran.

                    Agreed.

                          The effect of Muhkamat (no nonsense) vs. Mutasyaabihat (nonsense)

                          For the allies of God
                          there is no fear over them <- certainties - no nonsense
                          nor will they grieve <- certainties - no nonsense
                          10.62

                          | | Muhkamat/No Nonsense | | Certainties and no worries | | Faith is strong | | Remain on the straight path | | Does not create division

                          | | Allegorical/Nonsense | | No certainties and worries | | Faith is weak | | Create lies from their interpretation | | Create divisions

                          And from the people are those who say "We believe in God and in the Last Day,"
                          but they are not believers.
                          2.8

                          . . .
                          And those who disbelieve
                          will not cease to be in doubt thereof
                          until the Hour cometh upon them on a sudden
                          or there cometh upon them the torment of a Barren Day
                          22.55

                          . . .
                          Those who ask leave are the ones who do not believe in God and the Last Day
                          and their hearts are in doubt
                          In their doubts they are wavering
                          9.45

                          . . .
                          Yet they play around in doubt.
                          44.9

                          The nonsense. . . and the "same type of people who follow the allegorical" are those who create the Arabic triple goddesses Al-Uzza, Al'lat, Manat, make Jesus and their scholars as the Lord, make Allah prohibitions as halal and the commands as haram, and create religions and denominations etc. . . It is impossible for one who follow from what is clear from the Quran or the Muhkamat will create these kinds of things. These people will acquire certainties and they have no worries about Islam . . . ie. the foundation of strong faith. laugh

                          What is nonsense?

                          Those terms that Allah says "no one knows its interpretation" (3.7), for example. . . Allah, paradise, hell, sincerity, satan, angels, wisdom, Allah guides me, God's pen does never run out of ink, astray, etc. . . it is the not entirely clear verses and that need interpretation, or that cannot be defined through the Quran, ie. "Not entirely clear verse" must be explained by the "entirely clear verses" from the Quran itself so that the words become "entirely clear verses".

                          Rational thinking vs. Irrational thinking.

                          No, they have lied about that which
                          (1) they had no knowledge
                          (2) nor has its explanation come to them
                          It is also how those before them denied
                          so see how was the retribution of the wicked!
