Salam Have a bless Friday.... "FULFILMENT OF PROMISES. "Allah the Exalted, Says : " And fulfill (every)covenant verily! The covenant will be questioned about.. (17:34) " O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do.. (61:2,3) HADITH : "Abu Hurairah ra : reported : Allah's Messenger ( ﷺ ) said : " Three are signs of a hypocrite: When he speaks,he lies, when he makes a promise,he breaks it ,and when he is trusted,he betrays his trust. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim ) "Another narration adds the words: "Even if he observes Saum (fast)performs Salat(prayer)and claims to be a Muslim." FOOTNOTE : " Theologically speaking,a disagreement between heart and tongue or word and deed, about the declaration of faith in Islam is defined as hypocrisy. In the life time of the Prophet ( ﷺ ) there existed a group of hypocrites who traits of characters have been outlined in Ahadith. Humanly it is not possible to perceive malice hidden in one's heart. Even Allah's Messenger ( ﷺ ) hardly knew what lay in the hearts of people because, despite having the Exalted status of Prophet hood, he was fundamentally a human Allah, however had revealed hearts to him. But today,we have no error free source to pick hypocrites from the ranks of believers. Quite naturally, we fall back on the Hadith which provides us definite symptoms of the character and manners of hypocrites, So as to distinguish them from sincere Muslim. Ulama says that there are two aspects of hypocrisy, relating to faith and practice 1...In the first case, a hypocrite conceals his disbelief in his heart.. but verbally professes Islam. Anyone who belongs to this category of hypocrites will be, as stated in the Qur'an : Allah the Exalted says;; " Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths(grade)of the fire, no helper will you find for them. (4:145) 2." In the second case, a man does have faith in his heart but in Practice he potrays the characteristics of a hypocrite, unfortunately a majority of today's Muslims practically behave like hypocrites and posses their propensities. It is this hypocritical attitude and moral deficiencies of Muslims that have degraded them and Islam unappealing "May Allah swt, Guide those Muslims with pure hearts,, and show them the Right Path...
