The Shaykh teaches at Masjid al Khayr in Sana'a,Yemen and is from amongst the foremost students of Ash-Shaykh Al-Allaamah Al-Muhaddith, The Imaam of Yemen, Abu ‘Abdur Rahmaan Muqbil Ibn Hadee al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullah). This event will be broadcast LIVE in Masjid Ibn 'Abbaas, Tobago, two masaajid in Trinidad, Masjid ul Khaleefah and Masjid us Sunnah, and six masaajid in the U.S. Masjid Al-Bukhaari, Florida, Masjid Ibn 'Abbas, Georgia, Masjid Uthaymeen, New Jersey, Masj id Nur Allaah, New York, Masjid as-Sahabah, Ohio and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.

This lecture event will be translated LIVE into English by Hisham Abouzeid Inshaa Allaah.

It is reported in the two saheehs from ‘Abdullaah Ibn ‘Amr (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,
“There are four [qualities], whosoever has them is a hypocrite and whosoever has a characteristic of these four possesses a characteristic of hypocrisy until he leaves it: when he speaks he lies, when he promises he breaks it, when he makes a covenant he proves treacherous, and when he argues he behaves in an imprudent and uncouth manner.” [Reported by Bukhaaree [Eng. Trans. 1/31 no. 33, 3/382 no. 639, 4/269 no. 403] and Muslim [Eng. Trans. 1/40 no. 111].
It is important to note however that these characteristics refer to the hypocrisy of actions and not the hypocrisy of belief as this (hypocrisy of belief) removes an individual from the fold of Islaam. Nevertheless, it is something that we should all fear for ourselves and must be diligent in constantly taking account of ourselves lest we enter into the realm of nifaaq (hypocrisy).

Al-Bukhaaree mentions from Ibn Abee Mulaykah that he said,
“I have met thirty of the Companions of Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) all of them fearing hypocrisy for themselves.” [Reported by Bukhaaree [Eng. Trans. 1/40 chpt. 37] as a mu’allaq narration, designating it with certainty and quoted its complete isnaad in ‘Taarikh al-Kabeer‘ [3/1/137]
Our Shaykh Muhammad as-Sowmalee (hafidhahullaah) will admonish us concerning this critical issue and by the permission of Allaahcause us to understand the gravity of the affair so that we may safeguard ourselves from falling into it.

We ask Allaah to grant us sincerity and we seek refuge in Him from hypocrisy, whether it be of belief or action.
