You wear hijab, but you wish you didn't. If you prayed, but you
struggled with it, if you do things, and the only reason you do
it is because God asked of it. And the only reason you don't do
things even though you wish you could, is because you know it
wouldn't be pleasing to Him. That doesn't make you a hypocrite. Do
you know what the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him said?
He said that the Mujahid is the one who strives against his or her
own soul in the obedience of God, that that is a battle against your
own soul, that you strive to do the right thing even though you
don't want to do it. You strive not to do the wrong thing even
though you wish you could. That doesn't make you a hypocrite. That
makes you a spiritual warrior. You.
