Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

On Monday 4th March 2013, Muwahhideen Publications will host a LIVE tele-link lecture with Shaykh Hasan ibn 'Ali ‘Alaywah (May Allaah Preserve Him). The Shaykh is a student of Ash-Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi'ee and is a teacher at Dar-ul-Hadeeth, Shihr, Yemen. 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, Masjid 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.

Our Noble Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

"The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of a seller of musk and the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows. As for the seller of musk, then either he will grant you some, or you buy some from him, or at the very least you enjoy a pleasant smell from him. As for the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows, then either he will burn your clothes, or you will get an offensive smell from him." [Related by al-Bukhaaree (4/323) and Muslim (no.2628), from Abu Moosaa al-Ash'aree radiallaahu 'anhu.]

He (sallaAlaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) also stated,

"A person is upon the religion of his friend, so let one of you look to whom he keeps as a friend."  [Hasan: Related by Abu Dawood (no.4812) and others, from Abu Hurayrah radiyAllaahu 'anhu. Imaam an-Nawawee authentcated it in Riyaadhus-Saaliheen (no.174).]

Abu Sulayman said:

“The Prophet’s (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) statement that one follows the religion of his friend, means, befriend only he whom you are pleased with his religious conduct and honesty, for if you take such a person to be your friend, he will direct you to his religious nature and honesty. Furthermore, do not compromise in religion or risk befriending those who are unacceptable religiously or in their mannerism.” [Al-’Uzlah, p510]
Shaykh Hasan ‘Alaywah (hafidhahullaah) will offer some advice on this ever pertinent issue and enlighten us on the characteristics of the good companion as well as that of the vile companion so by the Permission of Allaah we may practice caution regarding those we take as close companions because they undoubtedly have a profound effect on us
We ask Allaah to grant us good companions who will aid us in righteousness and that He protects us from vile companions who will bring us nothing but loss.

Live Lecture! Shaykh Khalid al Misree: Extremism in the Religion - It's Reasons and Cure From the Sunnah




Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

Muwahhideen Publications has organized a LIVE tele-lecture on Wednesday 27th February 2013 with Shaykh Khalid Ibn 'AbdurRahmaan al-Misree (May Allaah Preserve Him), from the well-known mashayikh of Egypt. The Shaykh will lecture to us concerning the issue of extremism in the religion. 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, Masjid Nur Allaah, New York, Masjid as-Sahabah, Ohio and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.

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



Allaah (Ta ‘alaa) says in the Qur’aan,
“O People of the Scripture, do not go to extremes in your religion and do not speak except the truth." [Soorah an-Nisaa: 171]

“Say: O People of the Scripture, do not go to extremes in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before - they misled many and themselves strayed from the correctness of the way.” [Soorah al-Maa’idah:77]
“In both of these verses there is a forbiddance for the “people of the scripture” – the jews and christians – from going to extremes in religion. And every statement in the noble Qur’aan directed towards the people of the scripture also includes this nation (the Muslims) because it is this nation that is the primary recipient and addressee of this book. So when Allaah forbids them from going to extremes, we are even more so forbidden to go to extremes.”

Additionally, it was narrated by ‘Abdullaah Ibn ‘Abbaas (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

“Beware of extremism in religion because the only thing that destroyed those before you was extremism in religion.” [An-Nasaa’ee and Ibn Maajah]

Moreover, ‘Abdullaah Ibn Masood ( radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu ) said: Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) repeated three times:

“The Mutanatti’oon are destroyed.” [Muslim]

An-Nawawee (rahimahullaah) explains, “The Mutanatti’oon are the overly-strict people; those who go too deep (into religious matters), the extremists, those who go beyond the permissible limits in their statements and actions.” [“The Forbiddance and Danger of Extremism” by Shaykh ‘Ali Ibn Yahya al-Haddaadi from AbdurRahman.org]

The Noble Shaykh Khalid ‘Abdur Rahmaan al-Misree (hafidhahullaah) will admonish us regarding this grave matter of extremism in the religion and expound on its aspects, reasons and the cure for this disease from the pure Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

We ask Allaah to make us from those who are balanced; those who neither fall into negligence nor exceed the limits.

New Weekly Class! Shaykh Rashaad al Hubaishi: The Authentic Seerah of The Prophet




Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

It pleases Muwahhideen Publications to present our brothers and sisters in Islaam with a weekly class which will be taught by our honoured and noble Shaykh Rashaad al-Hubaishi (May Allaah preserve Him) who will bring to us moments of contemplation from the authentic seerah of the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Shaykh Rashaad is from the mashaayikh of Sana’a, Yemen and is a student of Ash-Shaykh Al-Allaamah Al-Muhaddith, The Imaam ofYemen, Shaykh Abu ‘Abdur Rahmaan Muqbil Ibn Hadee al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullah). The class commences on Wednesday 27th February 2013 and will continue every Wednesday by the Permission of Allaah.

This weekly class will be translated LIVE into English by our brother Hisham Abouzeid, inshaaAllaah.



“The knowledge of Seerah, May Allaah have mercy on you, is important in the life of every seeker of knowledge and is an integral part of understanding Islaam, because as Muslims, we use the Qur’aan and Sunnah as the frame of reference for understanding everyday practical life. These sources of revelation (the Qur’aan and Sunnah) are clearly seen being practiced by the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and his Companions when we read narrations ofSeerah. That is to say, the study of Seerah is a look at the practical understanding and implementation of these texts – by those who understood them best. Therefore, understanding Seerah provides understanding of the Sunnah (which in turn, gives understanding of the Qur’aan).” [“The Importance of Learning Seerah from www.athaar.org]

Therefore, it is of fundamental importance that we learn the Seerah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) since a person cannot love someone he does not know. So by studying the biography of the Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), our love for him will increase and by the guidance of Allaah, so will our emulating and obedience of him.

Our Noble Shaykh Rashaad al-Hubaishi (hafidhahullaah) will enlighten us with some precious moments from the authentic Seerah of our Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and by the Permission of Allaah we will all benefit from the jewels of guidance presented in these sittings.

We urge our brothers and sisters to make every effort to attend and benefit from this special opportunity to learn about our Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) from one of the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah in our time.

Live Lecture! Shaykh Ahmad Shamlaan: Ahl Sunnah's Belief in The Mahdi





Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

Shaykh Ahmad Ibn Ahmad Shamlaan (May Allaah preserve Him) from the mashaayikh of Yemen has agreed to do a LIVE tele-lecture with Muwahhideen Publication on Monday 24th February 2013 on the topic of Ahlus Sunnah’s belief in the Mahdi. The Shaykh is from the students of Ash-Shaykh Al-Allaamah Al-Muhaddith, The Imaam of Yemen, Shaykh Abu ‘Abdur Rahmaan Muqbil Ibn Hadee al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullah). Currently, Shaykh Ahmad runs Dar Ul Hadeeth in Radaa’, Yemen. 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 < /em>in the U.S. Masjid Al-Bukhaari, Florida, Masjid Ibn 'Abbas, Georgia, Masjid Uthaymeen, New Jersey, Masjid Nur Allaah, New York, Masjid as-Sahabah, Ohio and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.

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


There exists a lot false beliefs surrounding the Mahdi, particular amongst the raafidhah shi’a who hold many absurd beliefs concerning him.

According to Al-‘Allaamah Ash-Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah) ,
“From their superstitions and stories is that they have a Mahdi from the Prophet’s (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) family whom they await and that he has been in a cave for more than 1200 years who they claim is the 12thImaam. This Imaam does not exist; this Mahdi has not even been created. The Mahdi that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) mentioned is true, however, he is not the one that the Rawafidh (Shia) claim is the Mahdi. From their stories is that Musa Ibn Jafar (d. 183AH) - who the Rawafidh claim is one of their Imaams – said to a person during his time, ‘If you live then you will meet him.’ Since then, 1249 years have passed and they still have not met him. This is proof that this was a slander and a lie against Musa.” [“A Warning Against the Spread of the Deen of the Rawafidh (Shia)in Algeria and Other Muslim Lands” from AbdurRahman.org]

On the authority of ‘Ali (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu), the Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “The Mahdi is from us – the family of the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam); Allaah will rectify him in a single night.”[Ahmad]

‘Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) related that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Even if there remains from this world only a single day…Allaah would prolong that day until a man from me or from my descendants is sent; his name is the same as my name, and his father’s name is the same as my father’s name.” [Abu Dawood] And this is an addition from the hadeeth of Qatr : “He will fill the earth with fairness and justice just as it was filled with wrongdoing and oppression.”

These are but two of the many ahadeeth which discuss the affairs of the Mahdi.

Our Shaykh Ahmad Shamlaan (hafidhahullaah) will convey to us the belief of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah concerning the Mahdi and by the Permission of Allaah expel any false beliefs or doubts one might have regarding this issue.

We ask Allaah to correct our creed and that He, Al-‘Aleem grants us beneficial knowledge that would be a proof for us and not against us on the Day of Judgement.

Live Lecture! Shaykh Muhammad Ghalib al Umari - And Strive For Allah As You Ought To Strive







Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

Muwahhideen Publications is pleased to facilitate a LIVE telelink lecture with Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ghalib al-'Umari (May Allaah preserve him) from the mashaayikh of Madinah and a student and companion of many prominent senior scholars, including Shaykhanna 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree and Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Hadi al-Madkhalee (hafidhahumullaah). This lecture event will take place on Sunday 24th February 2013 and 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, Masjid Nur Allaah, Ne w York, Masjid as-Sahabah, Ohio and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.


This lecture event will be translated LIVE into English by our brother Hisham Abouzeid, InshaaAllaah.


Allaah says in His Noble Book,

“And strive hard in Allaah's Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islaamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islaam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islaamic Monotheism). It is He (Allaah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Qur'aan), that the Messenger (Muhammad sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform As-­Salaat (Iqamat-as-Salaat), give Zakaat and hold fast to Allaah [i.e. have confidence in Allaah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs] He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Exc ellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper!” [Soorah Al-Hajj :78]
According to Ibn Kathir (rahimahullaah), “And strive hard in Allaah's cause as you ought to strive” means, with your wealth and your tongues and your bodies.

Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) narrated:

Somebody asked, "O Allaah's Apostle! Who is the best among the people?" Allaah's Apostle replied "A believer who strives his utmost in Allaah's Cause with his life and property." They asked, "Who is next?" He replied, "A believer who stays in one of the mountain paths worshipping Allaah and leaving the people secure from his mischief."

In this struggle, it is imperative that we first strive against our own souls before we can become victorious in any another struggle. As the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
"The Mujaahid is the one who struggles against his own soul in Allaah's obedience." [Tirmidhee who said it was Hasan Saheeh and Al-Albaanee said: 'Its isnaad is good']
“It is vital that a person launches a war against his soul. One which is not haphazard or aimless but rather a firm and determined one in which he uses the weapons of faith (eemaan), sincerity to Allaah (ikhlaas), patience (sabr) and supplication (du'a). He uses them until he is able to overcome this mischievous enemy which is concealed between the two sides of his body [the soul, which commands the evil]. As a result he tames and pacifies it and makes it obedient, humble and submissive to the command of Allaah.”
For this reason we find that Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) says: 'Since the jihaad against the enemies of Allaah outwardly (i.e. physically) is a branch of the jihaad of the servant against his own soul for the sake of Allaah...'[“I Want to Fight My Soul So What is The Way?” from SalafiPublications.com]
Our Shaykh Muhammad Ghalib al-‘Umari (hafidhahullaah) will explain to us what it means to truly strive in Allaah’s Cause and by the Permission of Allaah we will all be encouraged to act upon what the Shaykh presents to us from the Book of Allaah, the Sunnah of His Messenger and the statements of Ahlul ‘Ilm.
We ask Allaah to make us from those who yield obediently to Him and sincerely strive in His Cause and that He (Subhaanah) takes our souls at the time when He is most pleased with us.

Live Lecture! Shaykh AbdulQadir Al Junaid: Verily Allaah is With The Patient Ones





Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

The Noble Shaykh 'AbdulQaadir Ibn Muhammad al-Junaid (May Allaah Preserve Him), one of the scholars from Ad-Dammam, K.S.A., will deliver a LIVE tele-lecture with Muwahhideen Publications on Monday 21st January, 2013. The Shaykh is recognized and recommended by the major scholars of our time, like Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee, and many others (May Allaah preserve them). 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, Masjid 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.


Allaah says in His Book,
O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salaat (the prayer). Truly! Allaah is with As-Saabirin (the patient ones, etc.). [Al-Baqarah 2:153]

Patience is a trait that is greatly praised by Allaah and according to Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah), Allaah has mentioned it in 90 places in the Qur’aan. The ahadeeth that allude to it are numerous and our scholars have written extensively on the topic. Indeed the affair of having patience is great and is needed in every single sphere of our lives. It is something that requires much striving to attain but its reward is tremendous.
Sulayman Ibn Qaasim said, “The reward for every action is known, except the reward for patience. Allaah Ta’ala said, “Only those who are patient will receive their rewards in full without reckoning.” Then Sulayman said, “Like heavy rainfall.”

The Noble Shaykh, ‘AbdulQaadir (hafidhahullaah) will explain to us the affair regarding patience in Islaam according to the Book and the sunnah with the understanding of the salaf-us-saalih and by the permission of Allaah bring some comfort to us and encourage us to persevere.
We ask Allaah to grant us patience in being steadfast upon His obedience, patience in staying away from His prohibitions and patience upon His Decree.

Live Lecture! Shaykh Muhammad al-Imaam: Explanation of a Hadeeth





Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

Muwahhideen Publications is pleased to announce a LIVE Tele-lecture with the Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdullaah al-Imaam (May Allaah Preserve him) who will lecture to us concerning honouring the elderly Muslim, the memorizer of the Qur’aan and the Just Ruler on Thursday 17th January, 2013. The Shaykh supervises Markaz Dar-ul-Hadeeth in Ma'bar, Yemen and is one of the major scholars of our time, May Allaah preserve him. This lecture event will be broadcast LIVE in three Masaajid in Trinidad & Tobago and sixMasaajid in the U.S. In Trinidad & Tobago: Masjid Ibn 'Abbaas, Tobago, Masjid ul Khaleefah and Masjid us Sunnah, and in the US:  Masjid Al-Bukhaari, Florida, Masjid Ibn 'Abbas, Georgia, Masjid Uthaymeen, New Jersey, and Masjid NurAllaah, New York, Masjid as-Sahabah, Ohio, and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.

This session will be translated LIVE into English Inshaa’Allaah.

Abu Musaa (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) reported:
Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,
“It is out of reverence to Allaah in respecting an aged Muslim, and the one who commits the Qur’aan to memory and does not exaggerate pronouncing its letters not forgets it after memorizing it, and to respect the just ruler.” [Abu Dawood]

“An aged Muslim here means one who lives a pious life till his old age. The word “Haamil-ul-Qur’aan” translated here as ‘the one who commits the Qur’aan to memory’, who have memorized the complete Qur’aan. That is to say he is not aggressive in putting it into practice and does not take shelter of far-fetched interpretations to justify his own intellectual and religious perversion. This Hadeeth stresses that a pious old man, a Haamil-ul-Qur'aan and a just head of a Muslim government should be respected. Since their respect has been ordained byAllaah, respecting them is in fact revering Allaah.” [Taken from the commentary of the hadeeth in Riyaadh-us-Saaliheen]

Our Noble Shaykh, Muhammad al-Imaam (hafidhahullaah) will expound on this beautiful hadeeth and unlock some of the benefits contained in it; and by the Permission of Allaah we will comprehend the matter and strive to act upon what we learn by honouring those who deserve it.
We ask Allaah, Al-Haqq to guide us to the truth and make us from those who are sincere and humble.

Live Lecture! Shaykh Khalid adh-Dhufayree: The Perils of Intermingling With The People of Innovation






Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

Muwahhideen Publications is honoured to announce a LIVE telelink lecture with the Noble Shaykh Khalid ibn Dahwee adh-Dhufayree (hafidhahullaah), from the well known mashaayikh of Kuwait. This lecture will be broadcast across several Masaajid across Trinidad & Tobago and The United States. Masjid Ibn 'Abbaas, Tobago, two masaajid in Trinidad, Masjid ul Khaleefah and Masjid us Sunnah, and sixMasaajid in the U.S. Masjid Al-Bukhaari, Florida, Masjid Ibn 'Abbas, Georgia, Masjid Uthaymeen, New Jersey, Masjid Nur Allaah, New York, Masjid as-Sahabah, Ohio and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.

The Shaykh (May Allaah preserve him) is well known to the major scholars and studied with several of them, including Shaykh Rabee' ibn Hadi al-Madkhalee and Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree (May Allaah preserve them). He is highly recommended, specifically, by Shaykh Rabee' al-Madkhalee (May Allaah preserve him).The Shaykh will expound on the dangers and perils of mixing and mingling with the people of innovation.

This session will be translated LIVE into English by Hisham Abouzeid Insha’Allah.


Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu ’anhu) said,
“The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) drew a line for us and said, “This is the Straight Path of Allaah.” Then he drew lines to its right and its left and said, “These are other paths; upon every one of them is a devil calling towards it.” Then he recited,
“Indeed, this is My Straight Path, so follow it. And do not follow other paths, they will separate you from His Path.” 

[Saheeh: Related by Ahmad (1/435), an-Nisaa‘ee (7/49) and ad-Daarimee (1/67-68). It was authenticated by Shaykh al-Albaanee in his checking to Kitaabus-Sunnah (no. 16-17) of Ibn Abee ’Aasim.]

So it is clear that the people of innovation and desires will be many and they will call to their deviance. So in order to safeguard one’s deen, an individual must completely disassociate himself from the legion of deviant groups and hold fast to the truth: the Book and the Sunnah.

The salaf attached great importance to the issue of mixing with the people of innovation and desires which is pertinent even more so in our times.

From the sayings of the scholars of the past addressing the matter:
Imaam al-Hasan al-Basree (d.110H) – rahimahullaah – said,
“Do not sit with the people of innovations and desires, nor argue with them, nor listen to them.” [Related by ad-Daarimee in his Sunan (1/121) and Ibn Battah in al-Ibaanatul-Kubraa (2/444)]

Aboo Qilaabah (d.140H) – rahimahullaah – said,
“Do not sit with the people of innovation, because I do not feel secure that they will not drown you in their misguidance and make part of what you used to know unclear to you.”[Related by al-Bayhaqee in al-I’tiqaad (p. 118) and ’Abdullaah Ibn Imaam Ahmad in as-Sunnah (p. 18)]

Thus we should flee from the people of innovation and desires like the fleeing from a lion and safeguard ourselves lest they poison us with the venom of doubts and desires.

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.
