These are benefits, excerpts, hints, and guidance from a letter by a scholar known as the Doctor of Hearts. Hypocrisy is one of the most dangerous diseases of the heart. Hypocrites ({In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease}) (Al-Baqarah 2:10). Ibn al-Qayyim - may God have mercy on him - explored their stories by examining and contemplating verses in the texts of the two revelations. It is taken from the book "Madarij al-Salikin Bayna Manazil Iyyaka Na'budu Wa Iyyaka Nasta'in" (The Stages of the Wayfarers Between the Manazils of "You Alone We Worship and You Alone We Ask for Help"), which discusses the characteristics of the hypocrites. Hypocrites and their actions in every time and place, and a warning against their evil and danger.

Two texts from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning the signs of a hypocrite are mentioned. The first is his saying: "The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he promises, he breaks his promise; and when he is entrusted, he betrays." The second text is: "If a person has four characteristics, he is a hypocrite, and if he has one of them, he has a characteristic of hypocrisy until he abandons it: when he speaks, he lies; when he promises, he breaks his promise; when he quarrels, he behaves wickedly; and when he makes a covenant, he betrays it."

- The seed of hypocrisy grows on two roots: the root of lies and the root of ostentation. It emerges from two eyes: the root of weak insight and the root of weak resolve. When these four pillars are fulfilled, the seed of hypocrisy and its foundation are firmly established. Zainab Muhammad

❇️ Some quotes from the book "The Characteristics of Hypocrites" by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya ❇️

"And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing off to the people and not remembering Allah except a little."

"The hypocrites, men and women, are of one another. They enjoin what is wrong and forbid what is right and withhold their hands. They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them. Indeed, the hypocrites are the hypocrites." The wicked"

The hypocrite's speech pleases the listener because of its sweetness and gentleness, and God bears witness to the lies in his heart. You see him asleep when speaking the truth and standing when speaking falsehood. "And among the people is he whose speech pleases you in worldly life, and he calls God to witness as to what is in his heart, yet he is the most quarrelsome."

You will find one of them among the group of people of faith, engaged in prayer, remembrance, asceticism, and striving. "And when he turns away, he strives throughout the land to cause corruption therein and destroy crops and livestock. And God does not like corruption."

The hypocrites are secretive. The secrets of hypocrisy are revealed by God on their faces and in the slips of their tongue, and He marks them with a mark that is not hidden from the people of insight and faith. "Or do those in whose hearts is disease think that God will never expose their hatred?"

The seed of hypocrisy grows on two roots: the root of lies and the root of hypocrisy. Its source is two eyes: weak insight and weak resolve. The merchandise of hypocrisy is like a mirage. "A thirsty person thinks it is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing. But he finds Allah with Him, and He pays him his due. And Allah is swift in account."
