Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim in total Fatiha We ask Allah subhana wa Tada for guidance, a dean asleep autonomous the team that Oh Allah, guide us to the straight path guide us along the straight path. And the straight path is the path of those people that you will Allah are pleased with, that you have bestowed Your favor upon people that you are happy with. We want to be on their path on their way we want to follow their footsteps and reach the destination that they reached in Surah Al Baqarah. Right at the beginning, Allah subhanaw taala tells us that this book is for guidance. If you want slaughter, Mr. Kim, if you want hedaya Then believe in this book follow this book because

00:00:52--> 00:01:44

there is no doubt in the fact that this book is Huda. It is guidance, but it is guidance for who little motor cane. So we learned about the first category of people who are unmoved meaning the true believers and move the pin those who are conscious of Allah. And these are the people who are upon guidance, or Allah who the mirror be him, and they are the people who are successful. Then we learned about the second category of people who are deniers, those who disbelieve those who reject. And we learn that such people will have a great punishment any they're not successful at all. They're not upon guidance at all. And now verses eight onwards, we learn about the third category of

00:01:44--> 00:02:36

people who on the outward on the surface, they appear to be like the believers because they say that they believe, but in their hearts, they're like the second category, meaning the disbelievers because in their hearts, they don't actually believe. So they're kind of a mix between the first and the second group. On the outward they show Iman, they say that they believe but in their hearts they don't actually believe. So the next set of verses and you can see that there are so many verses over here that are talking about this third category. And this is the category of the hypocrites, those who pretend that they believe, but they don't actually believe and people are off three kinds.

00:02:37--> 00:03:38

Either they are believers or they are disbelievers, or they are pretenders and these pretenders the word is whenever you have pain, hypocrites. And remember that hypocrisy is worse than Kufa hypocrisy is worse than disbelief because for disbelief any it's very clear a great punishment right? But hypocrisy is worse because in the Quran, we learn that the hypocrites will be in the lowest level of hell fiddled kill us Philomena now. So hypocrisy is very dangerous, very dangerous, and because the danger is greater. This is why so many verses talk about this concept. We see that only two verses talk about disbelief over here. Just two verses in the medina cough Allah Subhan Allah and then the

00:03:38--> 00:04:32

next verse, but for hypocrisy there are so many verses why? To make us aware that we need to be very careful. We need to look inside of our hearts. And we need to make ourselves more sincere, because it is not enough to just say that we believe it is important that we believe with truthfulness that we truly believe. So Allah subhanaw taala says Wamena NASCI may call you mana Billa he will bill Yeoman AirFit. And all of the people are some who say that we believe in Allah and the Last Day, they claim that they believe in Allah and the Last Day, but the fact is that women whom be moved, meaning they're not truly believers. So among the people, meaning from humanity in general, not all

00:04:32--> 00:04:59

people, but some of them. There are those who are like this, they said that they believe but they're not in reality believers. They're lying when they say that they believe in sudo Moon Alfie Kohn is number one, Allah subhanaw taala says either address or como Nafi Hakuna Kalu Nasha do in Nicola Rasulullah. When the hypocrites come to you they say we testify that indeed You are the messenger of Allah. They say this

00:05:00--> 00:05:49

To the face of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah subhanaw taala responds to Allah Who er Allah mu in Nicola rasuluh Allah already knows that indeed you are His Messenger will Allah Who yesh hadoo in Al Munna Filipino Allah cabbie boon. And Allah testifies that the hypocrites are lying. They're lying when they say that they believe they're not actually believers. So Allah subhanaw taala does not accept their claim of iman. Why are they not real believers? Because Iman, faith is not just a verbal claim. We learned about this earlier as well, that Eman includes action. Right? We learned from the qualities of the believers that they praise a lot. They believe in the

00:05:49--> 00:06:43

unseen, they believe in all of the revelation they spend out of what Allah has given them. Right? So there is action and faith together. So faith includes action, right there is the beliefs that you hold in your heart, but then those beliefs affect your behavior as well. They affect your actions as well. So these people are not truly believers, because they don't do the actions of iman or they are simply lying when they say that they believe in so with Allah Imran i 167 Allah subhanaw taala says Jaco Luna BF where he him malaise, if you could be him, they say with their mouths, what is not actually in their hearts. So they say that they believe, but in their hearts, there isn't actually

00:06:43--> 00:07:33

belief. So the thing is, that their hearts are empty of any faith. Now, we don't know what is really in the heart of a person. Only Allah subhanaw taala knows that. And Allah subhanaw taala is exposing such people over here. And why is this being mentioned over here? So that we know that every person who claims that they believe is not necessarily a believer, not everyone who testifies to the shahada is truthful. Now, we have to deal with people based on what they show to us, because we don't know the state of people's hearts, we're not supposed to judge or assume, regarding the hearts of people that you know, they don't actually have faith. So why is this being mentioned over here?

00:07:33--> 00:08:27

This has been mentioned over here for two reasons. First of all, so that we introspect, we reflect on ourselves on our condition, that when I say something, do I actually mean it? Or is there a discrepancy between what I say and what I feel, what I show and how I truly am, what I show in front of people, and how I am in private. So this is for the purpose of introspection. Secondly, this is also as a warning, meaning the believers are being made aware against deceptive attitudes of people, that there are those who come and say things to you on your face, but they're not actually sincere. So you should be aware, you should be careful about such people. You see when the Prophet sallallahu

00:08:27--> 00:09:12

alayhi wasallam migrated to Medina. Initially, all the people of Medina did not embrace Islam. Many did, but everyone did not especially the people who are wealthy, the people who were of status and honor, you know, many of them stayed away. Among them was, for example, are the Laban obey, or the Laban obey was supposed to be crowned as the king of Medina, because the city of Medina, which was previously known as yesterday, they had been embroiled in Civil War basically, for many, many years, the House and the huzzah Raj, were constantly at war. And what had happened over the years is that all of their elders had been killed. All right, because if you're constantly at war, then the

00:09:12--> 00:09:52

population is going to decline, there is going to be a lot of death. So I believe and obey was actually one of the few elders who had survived. And the people of yesterday have had, you know, finally come to the realization that if we keep fighting, we're going to end up killing ourselves. So we need to stop fighting. We need to have one unanimous leader and they had thought about the Ulsan. The huzzah Raj were the local tribes of the city of Medina. Okay. So they had, you know, thought about making our beloved obeyed their king. But while you know, these discussions were happening, these ideas were popping up. Around the same time, the people who had embraced Islam in

00:09:52--> 00:10:00

Medina, they invited the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. They went and they gave him the pledge, which is known as

00:10:00--> 00:10:38

The acaba pledge and the prophets of Allah who Ernie said have migrated to Medina, when the Prophet sallallahu Urdu sort of migrated to Medina, now all of a sudden he was the leader. He was not only the religious leader, but also in a way the political leader. So at the beginning, we learned that our delight and obey was very hostile towards the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was very jealous, very angry, very hostile, very rude. You know, once the Prophet salallahu Urdu said him was going somewhere, he was riding a donkey and are delighted obey was, you know, sitting with his friends, they were talking. And you know, of course, in the desert, when an animal would run or

00:10:38--> 00:11:25

walk, there would be a cloud of dust. So when there was a cloud of dust behind the Prophet sallallahu, or you set him or blood and obeyed, and he was extremely rude, he put his, you know, cloth on his face. And, you know, he's like, don't bother us. And, you know, he said, very derogatory words. So this is how he was at the beginning. But then what happened that after the Battle of better remember, that was the first battle against the machete King, and the Muslims won. And that was an amazing victory. 300 people, just a little over 300 are defeating an army of 1000. And that also of the people of Makkah, the Quraysh in it the best of the best among the Arabs. So

00:11:25--> 00:12:18

what happened is that after the Battle of whether many people embraced Islam, just on the outward, why, because they wanted the perks of being Muslim, it was the popular thing to do. And if you want it to be safe, if you wanted success for your self security for yourself, you wanted more money, then you have to side with the right people. This is how that society worked, that people would not, you know, live in isolation, you had to make alliances with the right people. So are the lie have been obey. He outwardly embraced Islam. And what he would do is especially when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would be giving the hotbar, you know, in the masjid, when he would come,

00:12:18--> 00:13:01

you know, give the hotbar to address the people are delivering obey would stand up, all right. And, you know, he would start praising the prophets that Allah who earlier said, I'm in front of everybody, and he would start saying, you know, things like we bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah, you know, things like that. And it wasn't just him. It was also his followers, you know, his friends. So Allah subhanaw taala, exposed the hypocrisy of such people. And, you know, eventually there were circumstances that came about that showed the true colors of these individuals. So for example, when the next battle came along the Battle of Word, you must be

00:13:01--> 00:13:52

familiar about what our beloved obey did. Initially, he went along with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but then he decided that he was going to go back. So he left with 300 people, he took 300 people back to Medina. So at that time, the hypocrisy of our beloved obey was revealed. So when verses like this are mentioned in the Quran? Yes, they are. And we discussed this earlier as well, the application is not general, the application is specific, but there is Lesson What is that lesson that we introspect, and secondly, we should not be naive, that there are people who do a lot of flowery talk, who try to satisfy you who try to, you know, make you happy with just their words

00:13:52--> 00:14:40

don't fall for their words, actions speak louder than words. So among people there are those who say we believe in Allah and the Last Day meaning the Day of Judgment, but the fact is, that they're not actually believers. So who are these people? These people as we learn elsewhere, from the Quran, that they are the mafia code the hypocrites. Now, what is an effect the word effect is not mentioned in these verses, but the concept has been explained over here. neufeldt Hypocrisy is basically to show goodness and hide evil. Okay, meaning basically a person is being pretentious, right that on the outward on the external, they're being very nice, but on the inside, they're hiding a lot of

00:14:40--> 00:14:59

evil. Okay, now when it comes to hypocrisy, remember that there's two types of hypocrisy and we should be familiar with this. The first type of hypocrisy is that which is in belief, okay. nofap erotic cardi. were literally on the hour.

00:15:00--> 00:15:44

Word a person is showing Eman but they're lying and then oh, they're lying. They're just faking, they're pretending in the heart there is no iman whatsoever. And this is something that existed in the time of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam but in the Madani era, so people like Abu Laban obey and his friends, they were pure hypocrites. Okay, because literally they showed Iman but in the heart there was no iman and Allah subhanaw taala expose them. The second type of hypocrisy is what we have to be very careful about. And that type of hypocrisy is Nefab Carmeli Okay, which is in actions hypocrisy, which is in actions which is in behavior. So for example, the prophets of Allah,

00:15:44--> 00:16:32

who are the WHO Salam said that the signs of the hypocrite are three, that when he speaks, he lies when he makes a promise, he breaks it when he is entrusted with something he betrays. Right. And another Hadith we learned when he argues he's very vulgar. Okay, so NIFA erotic kadhi, meaning hypocrisy in belief. And the second is NIFA, Carmellini Focke. hypocrisy in action. So the first type of hypocrisy, yes, it existed at the time of the Prophet sallallahu Earline send them and it only exists in certain situations. Okay. But New File Carmeli is more common. And it is something that we have to be very careful about. Because in her these, we learned that whoever has any of

00:16:32--> 00:17:26

these quality has a trait of hypocrisy. So we have to work on that. Now NIFA rock literally means to leave to leave quickly, or to escape rather, okay. And basically Nephele call is a desert rodent, okay, which is called the gerbil. And it's very interesting, what it does is that the hole or the tunnel that it makes for itself, is such that it has multiple exits. Okay, multiple exits. And what this rodent does is that it covers those exits, it plugs, some of those exits with light obstructions. So for example, a snake is chasing it, right, it's gonna go hide in its tunnel. And when the snake is coming from one side, it's going to escape through an emergency exit that the

00:17:26--> 00:18:22

snake never thought about, or noticed or saw. So this way, the jerboa escapes, right? And this is what the hypocrite does, that it comes into his slam through one way, but then he leaves, okay, he leaves whenever there is some kind of difficulty, some kind of, you know, sacrifice and any kind of hardship he leaves. So when my home be moved, meaning they're not truly believers, how are they not truly believers, Allah subhanaw taala explains in the next day, that you hide your own, Allah will Lavina know, they think to deceive Allah and those who believe meaning when they say that, man, now we believe they're not speaking the truth. They're just saying this, in an attempt to deceive Allah

00:18:22--> 00:19:12

and the believers. This is what they're trying to do. Now, in their mind, they think that they're deceiving Allah. Okay? But in reality, they don't deceive Allah because nobody can deceive Allah. Now, the word you heard, Your Honor, this is from Qatar, okay. And Heather, is to fold one part of a cloth upon another. So when you fold, for example, a pillowcase, you fold it and then you fold it again and then you fold it again, every time you fold, you make the size smaller. So when you fold, then what happens is that what was visible before is no longer visible. Right? The inside part is now hidden. Every time that you fold, there is part of the pillow cover that's going to be hidden,

00:19:12--> 00:19:59

okay. So this is why huddart also means to hide, okay. Now cleaned are is to deceive how that a person is actually hiding something inside. But on the outward, they are showing something very different. So a person is showing something but they're hiding it's opposite. Why to achieve a certain goal, right? So you hide your own Allah and you hide your owner they think they desire they strive to deceive Allah and those who believe. But they don't actually end up deceiving Allah or the believers. Why? Because even if you hide something in your heart does Allah subhanaw taala know about it?

00:20:00--> 00:20:46

If you hide something in your heart, absolutely Allah knows about it. In surah Taha is seven, Allah subhanaw taala tells us we're in veggie her bill coli, for inner who Yarlung was sera alpha. And if you speak aloud, then indeed Allah knows the secret and what is even more hidden, because there are some secrets that you share with people. And there are other secrets that you just keep hidden in the deepest part of your heart that you will not even share with your closest friends. So some things you say out loud, Allah knows them, what you keep secret, Allah knows that as well. And what you keep even more hidden. Allah knows about that as well. In sort of LM Ron is 29 Allah says go

00:20:46--> 00:21:33

into full Matthew so duty come out to boo yah, Allahu Allah. Say that if you hide what is in your chests, or you reveal it, Allah knows about it. It is all the same. Whether you express something, honestly, or you don't, Allah knows about it. So they try to deceive Allah, they attempt to deceive Allah, they think in their minds that they are deceiving Allah, how, by pretending that they believe by saying that they believe by taking oaths and by testifying, you know, by saying to so many people over and over again, we believe we believe we believe, but in reality, they're deceiving themselves, they only end up deceiving themselves. When I Yehuda, Runa, Illa and Busan, at the end, it is they

00:21:33--> 00:22:18

who suffer the consequences of this deception. How? Because the believers don't suffer because of the deception of these people. The religion of Allah does not suffer because of the deception of these people. They become victims of their own plot, were made their own Illa and Fusa. Home, they become victims of their own plot. How? Because they think that by lying, you know, they are benefiting a great deal. How? Because you see at the time of the Prophet sallallahu earlier said, someone said that they were Muslim, and they were with the Muslims. And let's say there was a battle and the Muslims were victorious. Well, guess what? We're good. Right, we were also victorious, we

00:22:18--> 00:23:10

will have a share of the victory, we will have a share of the fame. Right. And if you know they were not Muslim, they were on the opposite side, then they would suffer. So they think that they are getting some kind of advantage by pretending to be believers. They're not actually, because very soon, their hypocrisy was revealed. So for example, later on, you know, they went and they made alliances with the enemies. By the time that the battle of hunger came, the Battle of the Trench came and eat where the Muslims appear to be in great danger, they switch sides. So they're not actually saving themselves with this deception. And in reality, they will not be saved. What am I

00:23:10--> 00:23:57

yes, you're alone, and they don't even realize your role is to realize something by you know, through his meaning through your senses, that you see something, you hear something, you touch something so you realize, but there's such a disconnect between them and reality, that they don't even realize that they're actually harming themselves, that they're actually deceiving themselves. To see, for example, when a person lies to get out of a problem. They think that they escaped the problem by lying. But sooner or later, when their lie is exposed, are they actually saved? Did they actually get away from trouble? No, they find themselves in much greater trouble. So in this life,

00:23:57--> 00:24:39

they think that they're deceiving Allah and the believers by pretending to be Muslim. But the fact is that they're actually deceiving themselves. Because in the world, Allah will expose them on the Day of Judgment, certainly Allah will expose them. And there's a hadith, which I want everyone to reflect over the Prophet sallallahu earlier Sena mentioned, this is a Hadith in Sahih. Muslim, that on the Day of Judgment, Allah subhanaw taala will call a person, meaning when the judgment will begin, Allah will call a person and Allah will say to him also and so, did I not honor you? Did I not make you a leader of your people? Did I not provide you with you know your spouse, and did I not

00:24:39--> 00:24:59

subdue for you horses, camels and Allah's parent? I will mention to him, you know, the different blessings that Allah bestowed upon that person, the world and the person will admit that yes, yes. And then it will be said, did you not think that you will meet us and that person will say no,

00:25:00--> 00:25:46

I never thought I never believed. And so, Allah subhanaw taala will say, we forget you as you forgot us. So that person will be thrown into hell, then another person will be brought and similar things will be set to him, did we not bless you with this with that, and the person will admit, and Allah will ask him, did you not think that you will meet us that person will say, No, Allah will say, Well, I forget you today as you forgot us. And then a third person will be brought, and similar things will be set to him and the person will say, Yes, I believed, oh my lord, I believed in you. I believed in your book, I believed in your messenger, I used to pray, I used to fast I used to give

00:25:46--> 00:26:39

charity and he will begin to talk about all the things that he used to do. And Allah will say to him, that we will bring our witnesses against you. And the man will think in his mind that who can testify against me. So that person's mouth will be sealed, he will not be able to speak on that day, his mouth will be sealed, and his body will be made to speak. So his legs, his skin, his bones, Allahu Akbar, they will testify against him. And in the Hadith, it has mentioned that that person will be a hypocrite and Allah will be angry with him. So a person can pretend all they want in this life. But the fact is, that this line this pretense this, you know to fitness, a person is only

00:26:39--> 00:26:47

deceiving themselves. woma Yes, the Runa Illa and Fusa. home warmer. Yeah, Sharon, they don't even realize.

00:26:48--> 00:27:35

And this is the problem, right? That when a person has built a world of lies, they're living in a world of lies. There comes a point when they don't even realize their such lack of self awareness that a person doesn't even realize. You don't the first time that a person lies. There's something that makes them feel bad. But then there comes a point where a person is lying and lying and lying and there is no bad feeling. Maya shrewton they don't even realize feel Kulu be him marathon. What is the problem with these people? The problem is that in their hearts is disease for that the hula hoop medulla, so Allah has increased their disease. Now, what's happening over here, there was

00:27:35--> 00:28:31

disease and Allah made that disease grow, increase. What's happening over here, the thing is that the punishment, the consequence is always similar to the action. Okay? They lie. And they lie again, and again and again. They pretend and they pretend again and again and again. So they have a disease and Allah makes their disease grow and grow and grow. And so if Mohammed is 17 we learn when Medina todos Zeder home Houda those people who follow guidance, then Allah increases them and guidance into tilba Iowan 25 We learn what a Melodien a few Karoubi Maradona Fussa Tomb Raider son LRH see him those people in whose hearts as disease their filth, increases more and more filth, more and more

00:28:31--> 00:29:24

disease in Surah, uncoupled is 69, well, Latina Jaha, do fina then the unknown sabudana those who strive in our cause, we will guide them to our ways. So the person who seeks guidance, remember, Allah subhanaw taala facilitates guidance for that person. And the one who seeks misguidance than misguidance is facilitated for them. So they lie and they cheat and they deceive and they pretend they try to deceive Allah. Well look at the punishment, their disease only grows their problem only worsens, because that is what they seek. Now moneth disease, muddled is basically a state that is not the normal temperament or the normal, you know, constitution, right. So for example, when there

00:29:24--> 00:29:59

is a disorder, that means that there is impaired functioning, everyday life is being drastically impacted because of the disorder. There is an imbalance, you know, something is not functioning the way that it should be functioning. So in their hearts is a disorder in their hearts is a disease, a sickness. Now what disease is this? This is of course, the disease of hypocrisy, right in their hearts is the disease of hypocrisy, but basically the diseases of the heart they are

00:30:00--> 00:30:55

I have two kinds. The first type of disease of the heart is that which is related to shallots desires, okay desires. So, in total Zaba 32 We learned file tomorrow and let the vehicle be modeled the person in whose heart is a disease will begin to have desire and desire for what? For Zina for illegal sexual intercourse file Tamara lady feel can be modeled. So the disease is what it's the desire to do something prohibited to do something wrong. Okay. The second type of disease is that which is related to Shewhart doubts, that there is no faith, there is no conviction, there is no certainty. So, if you think about it, the first type of disease that impacts a person's behavior,

00:30:56--> 00:31:53

person surrogates behavioral any, there is such desire longing for wrong things. It impacts a person's behavior. So a person pursues those base desires and they end up disobeying Allah. And the second type of disease is that which is related to doubt, you can say it is cognitive. So, there is disease at both levels. There is a problem at both levels. In the mind there is doubt, and in the heart there is extreme desire for wrong which causes them to disobey Allah. Sophia columbium, marohn Frazetta, whom Allahu medulla. Now how is it that hypocrites have immense desire for wrong things? You see, it was the love for worldly things for fame, for victory, for money for power, that

00:31:53--> 00:32:39

initially caused them to embrace Islam. They didn't embrace Islam for the right reason. They embraced Islam just to get the perks of Islam just to get the benefits of Islam. And eventually it was their love for the same thing that led them to switch sides to go and, you know, side with the enemies of the Prophet sallallahu Ernie he was so integral to Nyssa Iowan 43 We learn with other Bina Vina VALIC the hypocrites are constantly switching back and forth like a pendulum going side to side wavering between the two, La ilaha illa Allah if they neither belong to this group of believers, nor do they belong to that group of disbelievers. They're constantly wavering. Why?

00:32:39--> 00:33:27

Because they're following desires, right. So there is no commitment, there is no loyalty, there is no honesty. Why? Because a person is pursuing desires, the things of the world. And then because there is shuck there is doubt or they don't care about the consequences of their actions. Because you see, when a person is dishonest, he there's something that bothers you in your heart, but when you have doubts, like Yeah, who knows if it's even gonna happen, right? Who knows? I'm not that confident, then person doesn't care about the consequences of their actions. So feel Karoubi Maradona, Azad, Muhammad, Muhammad Allah. Now, why would Allah subhanaw taala increase their

00:33:27--> 00:34:10

disease? Because like I said earlier, the punishment is always similar to the nature of the action. They're deceived. Okay, they're deceived. And so in consequence, their disease was increased. You see, when a person lies to himself, when a person deceives himself when a person refuses to admit what's going to happen, they're only going to get deeper in their problem. One crime is going to lead to another which is going to lead to another which is going to lead to another. So Allah is not wronging them, Allah is not being unfair to them. No, this is the path that they've chosen for themselves. So Allah lets them go on that path. And this is a very important rule that we should

00:34:10--> 00:34:57

remember. When a person seeks guidance, their increased in guidance. When a person tries to be patient, Allah gives them patience. When a person strives in the way of Allah, Allah subhanaw taala helps them and when a person does wrong, then one wrong leads to another. In surah, two lane we learn that were amomum, Bakula was still now what can never be gooseneck fastened, we are still ruling the rostra right. And on the other hand, the person who believes and confirms and give sadaqa then Allah subhanaw taala facilitates the path of ease for him facilitates Islam for him, and the person who is stingy, who rejects then the path of difficulty meaning the path of Hell is made easy

00:34:57--> 00:34:59

for him. So why is their disease

00:35:00--> 00:35:54

is increased because this is the path that they chose for themselves. And for Azad, the Hula, hula Allah, Allah attributes this to himself. And this shows us Allah's power that Allah does not need these people. You're not doing Allah favor by pretending Allah doesn't care any it doesn't harm him. And another reason why disease is increased is because the nature of disease is that when it is left untreated, it worsens over time. So yes, a disease might start small, it might be a tiny tumor, a very small tumor. If you think about cancer, how does it begin? Cells, right. So it might be very tiny, but when it is left untreated, it increases, it grows, it spreads. So when they pursue their

00:35:54--> 00:36:39

desires, and they hold on to these doubts, these desires, and these doubts only get worse with time. You see, wrong desires are supposed to be tamed. doubts are supposed to be countered, you're supposed to remove them. And if you don't remove them, if you don't control your desires, then what's going to happen? It's going to get worse over time. So, this teaches us a very important lesson, that the moment you recognize something wrong in yourself, stop it right there, pull it out right there, remove it right there, seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala ask Allah subhanaw taala for strength, ask Allah subhanaw taala to give you the ability to leave it, but the first step

00:36:39--> 00:37:30

is to recognize to acknowledge do not pretend like everything is fine. So, for that the home Allahumma raga Why is the disease increased for them? Because first of all, that is what they chose for themselves. And secondly, because they did not treat that disease they did not stop it. They did not do anything to fix it. So when they did not fix it it got worse over time when bad actions when we don't repent from them, then eventually the turn into habits. So for that the hula hula medulla. Wala whom are either born early on and for them is a painful punishment Aleem. Aleem is from LM and LM is to feel pain ache and Aleem ever painful meaning continuously painful continuously causing

00:37:30--> 00:38:16

hurt, but why why a painful punishment Veena can we can be boon because they used to habitually lie they used to lie Alocs and lying is not just in words, yes, they lied with their words when they said that we believe whereas in reality they did not believe lying is also in one's actions in one's behavior in one's lifestyle. So, this whole life of you know pretense and deception that in the heart is one thing and on the tongue is the exact opposite with one group of people one way and another group of people completely different changing switching one's identity based on where a person is, this is lying. This is not being honest with yourself. This is not being honest with

00:38:16--> 00:39:00

Allah. So one of whom are dabbling early on Bhima can we actually Boone and notice painful punishment because of lying? In surah Taha Fedora 28, we learned in Allahu Allah, the man who are Muslim on Kedah, indeed Allah does not guide the person who is was sort of, you know, extravagant and can dab, extreme liar. Lying is something that the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam detested, he did not like at all, any, when someone's lie was exposed, the Prophet sallallahu where it isn't his behavior with that person would change any the prophets of Allah who it is and it would avoid that person until that person left that lie repented from it changed his behavior. So for this lying

00:39:00--> 00:39:21

is a painful punishment. And again, we need to think that what are those times places situations in which we end up lying? And do we belittle those lies? Do we think that oh, it's just a small lie? Because small lies eventually become big lies, and they eventually lead to painful punishment.
