Traits of Hypocrisy Part 3\nDelivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 20th December 2019 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester\n\nVideo: https://youtu.be/iWDfgz3zUVc\n\nThis seven-part series details the different types of hypocrites and their various traits. The dangers of adopting these traits is emphasised so that the believers identify and avoid them.\n\nContinuing on the topic of hypocrisy, this talk covers verses 16-20 of S\u016brat al-Baqarah. The trait of short-sightedness within the hypocrites is identified. It is shown here how shallow a mun\u0101fiq is and how he sacrifices even basic principles for short-term gains in the duny\u0101; thereby squandering salvation in the hereafter. Throughout the talk, a mu\u2019min is described as having opposite qualities to that of a mun\u0101fiq, such as keeping his sight on the hereafter.\n\nTwo interpretations are given to the example brought of those lighting a fire, each interpretation referring to a different type of hypocrite. Another trait of hypocrisy was here identified as not being able to see the truth despite staring at it; explaining the description of the mun\u0101fiq\u016bn as deaf, dumb and blind. \n\nThe parable of the Qur'\u0101n as a rain-laden cloud is further explained and how the type of mun\u0101fiq\u016bn who wavered only responded to the Qur'an at times, whilst refusing to listen to verses of warning. It is also emphasised that such traits and behaviours of hypocrisy concern us as well and how even the Sa\u1e25\u0101bah feared falling into them.\n\nBelow are some of the timecodes and topics for this talk:\n- Language of Trade Used in the Qur\u0101n\n- Contrast Between the Muh\u0101jir\u016bn and An\u1e63\u0101r\n- Short-sightedness of the Hypocrites\n- Steadfastness of a Believer and a Hypocrite\n- Parable of Hypocrites Lighting a Fire for Guidance\n- Trait of Hypocrisy: Blind to the Truth\n- Refusal to Listen to Verses of Warning\n- Examples of \u1e62a\u1e25\u0101bah fearing hypocrisy\n\n**********************************************************************\n\nWebsite: www.akacademy.org\nYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/alkawtharacademy\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/alkawtharacademy\nTwitter: www.twitter.com/alkawthar\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alkawtharacademy\n\n**********************************************************************
