You wear hijab, but you wish you didn't. If you prayed, but you

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

struggled with it, if you do things, and the only reason you do

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

it is because God asked of it. And the only reason you don't do

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

things even though you wish you could, is because you know it

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

wouldn't be pleasing to Him. That doesn't make you a hypocrite. Do

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

you know what the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him said?

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

He said that the Mujahid is the one who strives against his or her

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

own soul in the obedience of God, that that is a battle against your

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

own soul, that you strive to do the right thing even though you

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

don't want to do it. You strive not to do the wrong thing even

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

though you wish you could. That doesn't make you a hypocrite. That

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

makes you a spiritual warrior. You.
