I just got back from Umrah. If I say something wrong, that means I'm under a jet lag. I see you, but I don't see you. No Alhamdulillah. It was a good flight, so I'm okay. Insha'Allah it was an amazing Umrah. And any bald brother that you see around, he was with me. I made sure everybody shaved and all shaved. Alhamdulillah and inshaallah taala. And Sunday morning we will discuss all the details. Binillah tayyib so we go back to our main topic about the diseases of the heart. And tonight's disease is one of the most severe diseases and subhanallah. As a matter of fact, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in many ayat compared the person who has this disease with the mushrikeen and the kuffar. For example, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, don't you see to the munafiqeen that they tell their brothers Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said that the munafiq is a brother of the kafir. Same statement, same ayah. So our disease tonight is a nifaq. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us away from the nifaq. What is nifaq? Nifaq is you show something from the outside, but the inner is exactly opposite. You show something from the outside externally, but internally you believe oppositely this is nifaq. Such kind of people shows that they are good in front of others, but in their absence they display the opposite traits. Now, nifaq is of two kinds. I want you to listen carefully because this is one of the most dangerous diseases of the heart. It's nifaq. By the way, it's not something I do. It's in here. That's why we're taking it under the topic of the heart. It's something here. It's from the heart. It's a disease of the heart. There are two kinds of nifaq. One kind of nifaq will take you out of Islam completely. And that is called a nifaq al akbar or al nifaq al AQA IDI nifaq in the aqeedah. And this is more dangerous than kufr and shirk. Can you imagine why? These are the munafiqeen that were in the time of Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. They were praying in the first straw. They come to the masjid all the time. The first time they were exposed is when we're subhanallah. When we were in UHUD a week ago, I explained to them Rasulullah went with a thousand people to attack the mushrikeen right of Quraysh. On their way, Ibn Sallul, the head of the Munafiqeen, he took 300 and withdrew 330% of the army. 30% of the army. He is the head of munafiqeen. So the danger of nifaq is extremely, extremely. It shakes the foundation. They were with Rasulullah claiming in front of him that they are Muslims. La ilaha illallahu, you know. And then when they are behind him, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed 13 ayah in the beginning of surah al Baqarah. Just talking about the munafiqeen, Allah in front of the. In front of the mu'mineen when they are alone with their shayateen. No, no, we are with you, ya shayateen. But we were just making. We are marking the Muslim subhanallah and how there are unfortunately many of them in these days in big positions. So it is when the external appearance of the person is having full. The appearance outside beard, you name it, massage, full belief in Allah, his book, his messenger in the day of judgment, the angels, everything. But this person conceals. He conceals within his real thoughts. That negates all of the above. That's why listen to this. The munafiq is in the lowest level, lowest level of the hellfire. We all know if you have a fire, the lowest is the worst, right? So this munafiq, this munafiq that says la ilaha illallah is lower than a person making sujood to a statue. This is how dangerous he is to the ummah in the lowest level of the hellfire. This is the munafiq of the aqeedah nifaq al akbar, the big nifaq. Okay, Now, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala exposed them completely. In which surah? Which surah Allah exposed them? Tawbah. As a matter of fact, one of the names of surah al tawbah is al fadiha. Al fadiha, the one that exposes Allah exposed him. And he told Rasulullah, don't ever pray on any of them if they die. Now, then there is another nifaq. The nifaq is called al nifaq al ashar or a nifaq lamali with the actions. And this kind of nifaq has been explained by rasoolallah sallallahu Alaihi wasallam in one hadith. I'll read it in Arabic first and then we will translate. There are four signs that make someone Khalis purely hypocrite. And whoever has them has a characteristic of hypocrisy until he abandons it. What are these four characteristics? Either, Tumina Khan, when he is entrusted with something, he betrays it. And if he speaks, he lies. And. And if he promise, he breaks his promise. And if he argues, he become wicked. We will explain each one of them now. Four signs. Someone has to have them all. Listen carefully. Someone has to have them all. And constantly. I cannot call someone who lied once Munafiq, right? Every time he speaks is a liar. Someone has to have all four to be a munafiq. Otherwise if someone has one of them, we say that he has a trait of Nifaq. We cannot call him Munafiq. By the way, don't go around and accuse somebody. This is munafiq. This is not Munafiq. Why? Because this is Amal Kalbi. And you do not know what's in the hearts. Only Allah knows. So don't go around. He's a munafiq. That means you know the intentions, you know the heart which is. Nobody knows except Allah Azzawajal. But Rasulullah gave us this characteristics, this criteria. If someone, every time he speaks, he's a liar. He's always lying. Like I told you. One time sister told me when my husband tells me good morning, he's lying. This is how much he lies. This person is constantly lying if he is entrusted with something. You traveled to Hajj and you said, here's my car, here's the keys of my house. Here is my son. Sometimes people leave their kids with them, right? Or you went, you traveled somewhere and then he misused whatever you entrusted him with. And he always does that to other people too. That's one of the signs of Nifaq also. What's included, Tumina Khan? What's included in that too? What's included? Secret. I entrusted you with something. I told you. Please Ghulam, don't say this to anyone. This is something between you and me. This became an amana, became a trust. If you go and you say to someone else, you have betrayed the trust, you fall under one of these categories. And when he makes a covenant, he makes a lease with you, he makes a contract with you. He tells you I'm coming at 9 and he shows up at 4. All the time. Not once, all the time. You tell him, come at this time, he comes late, half an hour, 45 minutes, without any explanation, without any phone call, without any excuse. All the time he's late. That's a sign of hypocrisy. And the last one is very. Not too many people know what it means. Fajr in Arabic is explode. In Fijar means explosion, right? So how does that apply? If a person. When we give an example, it will be clarified. Brother A and brother B are very close. They fought, they argued, and they stopped talking to each other. A fajr. What does fajr mean? He started cursing Brother B. He started. Brother B entrusted him with many secrets that nobody knows about. He goes and tell them to everybody. Fajr. And he starts. Subhanallah, sometimes might happen to you, a person is very, very nice with you and you bought something from him. You bought something from him and then you decided for some reason, not too long after that, maybe a day or two, you know what I found out? I don't need it. Oh, Subhanallah, you'll see a completely different person. Completely different person. He becomes like as if the word erupted. Khasama, Fajr, cursing, lying, foul language. All of a sudden, from a person that is very quiet, he explodes and he becomes a completely different person. When someone has all these four traits, Rasulullah said munafiq, Khalifaq. Pure Munafiq. Pure Munafiq. If someone has one of them, we don't call him munafiq. We say again, if someone does it all the time, not someone. He told me he is coming at 9, he showed up at 10. Munafiq. Be very careful to accuse people of Nifaq. What is. Let me ask you a question. What is one thing common among the four? If he has entrusted, he breaks his trust. If he speaks, he lies. If he makes a promise, he doesn't keep it up. And if he disputes, he explodes. What's something common? Mashaallah? Lying. Lying. All of them is lying. All of them. Like Rasulullah said, the most dangerous organ in our body, the most dangerous organ in our body could lead to Nifaq. Subhanallah, Tayyib. Now we come to the important part. Am I a Munafiq? Let's find out. What are the signs that a person is Munafiq. From the Kitab and from the Sunnah. Number one, you're not going to like it. He misses Fajr and Isha in Jama'ah Qadar, the heaviest salat on a Munafiq is fajr and Isha in jema. If they knew the reward of coming to fajr and Isha in jama'ah, they would have came crawling, crawling. That's the first sign of the munafiq. Fajr is very, very heavy. Isha is very heavy. Whether at home, in the fajr or in the jama'ah, the jama'ah is extremely heavy because Rasulullah said here, by the way, when we. When Rasulullah speaks about salawat, they always mean jama'ah does not mean especially for the men. So number one, Yahwan is fajr and Isha are very, very heavy. Second sign from the Quran, Allah said. One of the signs of the munafiqeen, when they get up to pray, dhuhr again. We prayed dhuhr yesterday, dhuhr again today. Very lazy. Allah described him as kusala, very lazy. When it comes to Salat, Mama, get up and pray. Do you have wudu? Yeah, like my friend. One of my friend, he said his son seven years have wudu. Seven years. Every time he tells him, baba, you have wudu? Yes, Baba. Yeah, habibi, you just woke up. He always have wudu. Always. Listen, of course, I'm not saying this isn't munafiq, but I'm saying that when they want to get up to pray, sometimes they pray. They're just praying because we had a dinner at your house, right? You invited 30 people. And everybody maghrib came and they all get up to pray. And he said, how does it look if I don't get up? So he got up without wudu, without anything. Allahu akbar. If he is alone, he will never pray. This is a sign of Nifaq. He only prays to be seen. And he only if he decides to pray. Laziness. Very. Another sign. Very, very quick in the salat. Very quick. And he does it so fast, so quick that he cannot imagine that he prayed. All right. So these are signs of the munafiqeen. Another sign, Subhanallah. He did not say Allah. Azzawajal did not say they do not remember Allah. He said they remember Allah but a little bit, a little bit. Because the Muslim, the true believer, all over the Quran, the always abundantly remember Allah. Abundantly, abundantly. When it came to the munafiq, they hardly remember Allah. Even when you say, how you doing? He say, fine. He doesn't say alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah does not come out Subhanallah. So they Remember Allah very little. This is a sign of nifaq. Can you imagine someone who does not remember Allah at all when they are asked? Another sign. When they are asked to make istighfar, they turn away in pride. Why should I make istighfar? I did not do anything. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, if they told, come, let Rasulullah make istighfar for you or use yourself, ask for a stagfar. Why should I ask fortighfar what did I do? That's a sign of nifaq. What did I do? They order evil and they prohibit good. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said. They order evil. They order evil and they prohibit and prevent good. They see you doing something good. You prayed jummah last week. You donated last year. You went to umrah five years ago. You have to go back again. Ya know, it's okay. You don't have to do any of this stuff. And then when it comes to oh yeah, let's go invest in this haram company. Let's go and get some shares in this haram business. Always asking you, let's go to this club, let's go to this pub, let's smoke, let's do this, let's vape, let's all the time doing all kinds of haram. They push you to do haram. Allah. Allah described them opposite exactly the munafiqeen. And there's another at the end of the ayah. Very stingy. Another sign of munafiq. Very stingy. Very stingy. You see, when it comes to his vacations and all his stuff. Thousands and thousands of dollars. Brother, we are. There's an orphan. Fifty dollars. Fifty dollars. Hundred dollars. Yahboudun. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said. They make a fist when you ask them to spend. Imagine who is giving us these characteristics. The creator himself, Allah Azzawajal. They mock the Quran and the Sunnah. They mock the Quran and the sunnah. You know the story in surah al Tawbah when Allah, when Rasulullah coming back from an expedition and they were few guys in the back, they said, listen. They said, these haffas, these haffas of the Quran, all they like is to fill up their bellies. And when they are asked to fight, they are very lazy. Allah sent Jibril to Muhammad to tell them because they're making fun of the hafaz, not of Allah or his prophet, of the Hafaz of Kitabillah. He said, you have committed kufr after you were called believers too. Late to apologize, they will start crying. Ya rasoolallah. We were just passing time joking around. That's why. Listen to this statement extremely, extremely carefully. Many people, they take an ayah from the Quran and they start making jokes about it. I warned about this years ago and I'm warning again. Oh, do you hear the joke about Surah Yusuf? The minute somebody start like this. Stop brother, I don't want to hear it. This is not something to joke about. This is not something to joke about. Neither the Quran nor the Sunnah. Oh, look at your beard. You look like a goat. You look like this, like that. You're making fun of a person that is following the Sunnah. So that is Nifaq Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Told him, if somebody sends you a joke about the deen, about the hadith, about and ayah, about Jahannam, about Jannah, we don't want to hear it. Tell them please brother, change the topic. This is not allowed. We cannot joke about the Quran and the Sunnah. Another sign of Bashir al munafiqeen. Abi Anna lahum adaban Aleema. Give the glad tidings to the munafiqeen. This is sarcasm, right? Because bushra usually is something good. Bashar al Munafiqeen. Give the glad tidings to the munafiqeen. They have severe punishment. Who are these munafiqeen? Ya Allah al ladeena yatta Amin dun il mu'mineen. The one who take the kafir wali instead of his brother. Are they seeking izza from them? They want izza. They are becoming good friends with this country and that superpower in order to become protected. And they're leaving their brothers die all over around them. They are on the border and they seeing their brothers die. And they are being allies with the kuffar against their brothers. Give them the glad tidings of severe punishment. They want izza. They want to be honored. Oh, we are friends with these people. They do not know that this dunya is a circle. These people that you are supporting now against your brother, they're going to go down soon. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. He has the izzah forever. Forever. So the one who go and support, they say in, in my country they say malwaqif, you are with the one who's up. This guy is up, you're with him. This guy is up, you're with him. Whoever is on top right now, I'm with him. He falls, I leave him this is nifaq, pure nifaq. Now Subhanallah Yahwan, the companions used to fear hypocrisy a lot, a lot. As a matter of fact, the famous hadith in Sahih Muslim, one of the greatest sahaba Hamdala, came out from the house and he started saying, nafaqah, Nafaka. Hamdala. Hamdala is munafiq Hamdala. Who saw him? Abu Bakr. Yeah, Alhamdulillah. Why are you saying you're munafiq? He said, yeah, Abu Bakr, when we are with Rasulullah, we are seeing the jannah. We are. We are feeding the hellfire. We are. Our iman is super high. But when we go home, we start playing with our children and our wives and our iman becomes weak. I feel like a munafiq. So Abu Bakr said, if that's the case, I'm a munafiq too. Let's go to Rasulullah. They went to Rasulullah. He said, ya, Rasulallah, when we are with you, this, this, this and that. And when we go home, we become this. He said, calm down. I'm going to read exactly what he said. He said, rasulullah, by him, in whose hand is my life if you stay, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence, and you are always busy in remembering Allah, the angels will shake your hands. When you are in your bed or when you are on the street, if you are always in the same state that you are with me, when you are with me, the angels will come shake your hands. He repeated three times. What does that mean? He said, there should be time to devote it for Allah and time devoted for your worldly affairs. Now this hadith is widely misunderstood, widely misused. So some people say, every time you see somebody doing something haram, Saya we pray and saya we dance. Yahbibi, this is not what the hadith means. Sa'ay you disobey and saya you obey. It doesn't mean that saya take care of your affairs and all that. And saya for your ibadat Subhanallah hudayfah radiallahu an was the secret, the secret keeper of Rasulullah. So Rasulullah informed him, who are the munafiqeen before he dies. After he died, Umar came to him, said, astahlifu kabilah Yahudhayfah. By Allah, Yahudai is my name on the list. Yahudaifa is my name on the list Mubashar Bil Jannah, the second Khalifa asking if his name is on the list of munafiqeen. So Hassan Al Basir, he said something very interesting. Listen. He said no one fears it. Only a believer feels to be a munafiq. And the one who feels safe from munifaq, he is a munafiq. If someone comes up and say alhamdulillah, I am not a munafiq. Only munafiq feels safe. No, no, no way I will be a munafiq. Just the story of Umar by itself should make you tremble. None of us has been given guarantee of Jannah and we feel khalas, we're done. And Umar radiallahu an afterlife died. He's asking if he's a munafiq or not. So the Sahaba used to be always worried about the intention. Why am I doing this? Why is it for Nifaq? Is it for showing off? How do I feel about why did I come today to the Fajr? Why did I memorize the Quran? Why did I donate? Why did I do this all the time? All the time they're checking their their intention quickly. What is the cure? The most important thing about the topic, what is the cure of Nifaq? Number one, think of the danger of Nifaq. Think that the munafiq is then the lowest level of the hellfire. Think of the punishment of the munafiq should make you tremble and leave Nifaq. Second, come to Fajr and Isha come to fajr Nisha constantly. That's a very easy practical to prove because Rasulullah listen Yaquan, it's very simple. Rasulullah said the heaviest thing on the munafiq is fajr and Isha in Jama'ah. I am here every Fajr and Isha. Most of the time I'm here. Khalas. This does not apply to me. Alhamdulillah rabbi, I'm gonna start working to be on the fajr and Isha to be among the people that inshaallah they are saved from the Nifaq. Another cure is to feel always trying to help the believers you want to help. You know they are very humble. Become humble when it comes to the Muslims. Try to help as much as you can. Try to show compassion whatever you can to fight that nifaq that you have in you. Fight your desires. One of the ways to cure yourself from Nifaq, fight your desire. Your desire is telling you to Watch Instagram for 5 hours, 2 hours. Stay on this, stay on that. Watch this. Haram. Do this. Gheeba. Fight it. The more you fight it, the more you are protecting yourself from Nifaq. And remember that on the day of Judgment, this should make a person fear Nifaq. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said yawmatublasara ir. Yawmatubilasara IR on that day. The sara is a plural of secret, sir. On that day all the secrets are exposed. So all that you were hiding from your brothers and sisters and your community is all exposed. Fear that day. How embarrassing that day would be when you are exposed in front of everyone. When you remember that it gets you scared. And finally, beg Allah Azzawajal. Beg Allah with dua to cure that person or cure yourself from Nifaq. Allahumma Tahir kulum wa'amana minariya. Allahumma. Repeat after me. Allahumma tahir qalbi mina nifaq wamali mina riya ya. Allah purify my heart because it's a heart disease. Purify my heart from hypocrisy and my actions from showing off. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala clean all our hearts. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala save us from all these diseases. May Allah Azzawajal make our last deeds, our best deeds and our last words. La ilaha illalla. I love you all. For the sake of Allah Subhana kallam wabihandik mashadallah Ilah ilah ant na staqfirruqa on a tuhburik katahuyosalan abi. Yeah.
