Intentions: Am I Being a Hypocrite? | Q&A 5 with Nouman Ali Khan

Have you ever been in a state of guilt about your intentions, and constantly questioned whether or not your intentions align with your actions? Do you fear falling into hypocrisy due to this? Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan answers this exact question asked by a student at the Quran Week program in Stuttgart, Germany.
An important comparison is drawn here between our every day actions and feelings of guilt, versus the munafiqeen (hypocrites) described by Allah in the Quran.

Can you relate to this feeling?

[@lishba]

Absolutely...and mashallah now I feel much more satisfied with your response!!

[@jameelabassmir9004]

Assalamualaikum Sir did Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) say anywhere who will be His (SAWW) successor?

[@dpireader32]

Please make a complete video on this subject, this is such a underrated topic, we are bombarded with the salaf constantly questioning yourself and that we should do this also.

[@sayanmondal9412]

Absolutely I need it

[@lievejansen3755]

Absolutely. Thank you for explaining this, djazak'Allah. It helps a lot alhamdulillah

[@auycharxernaighn7893]

If you feel like a hypocrite you are not a hypocrite...it is a sign of your emaan..because hypocrites would never have that fear ..

[@alib7489]

Very well said - Mahsaa Allah.

[@suzifauzi]

MashaAllah TabarakAllah ❤ tiz very much

[@m.yav.-qs6kc]

No A hypocrite will have that fear but earn past subsistance in a world where we all live in the dust of riba and tell himself; big fat lol! I can't be a hypocrite because I'm scared of being a hypocrite whilst being a hypocrite. Technically everyone who earns more than the absolute bare necessities nowadays is an evildoer and the more he earns the more evil he becomes therefore most people are evildoers because most people have jobs and therefore most people are hypocrites because it's all fuelling riba. Few people are jobless most places have an unemployment rate below 10%. See, nouman here tries to motivate and be kind, I suppose but he doesn't really understand the world or Islam. Careful that Satan doesn't convince you you're a fax machine next.

[@Nusaybah459]

Mashallah it is true.

[@auycharxernaighn7893]

Some toxic people around me would tell me "why are you trying to look so kind", "you are praying to show off", "you want to be in people's good books" etc .😢😢. that made me always question my intentions.. now I just don't care ..let them think what they want to..Allah knows ...❤❤

[@NazmusLabs]

They will have to face Allah for what they did (questioning your iman!)

[@AnumAli-07]

Keep strong sis 💪❤

[@DoorbeenDornazar]

@@NazmusLabsno one will have to face anyone I guarantee you. We all believe in Evolution and our tailbones like monkeys 🙈 visible on xray and appendix like cows 🐄. None of the so called profits knew that nor did their Gods. Try explaining that

[@SaMa-sq3mu]

Good, you are praying for Allah not for them don’t let them bring you down🤍 JazakAllah Kheir

[@SaMa-sq3mu]

@@DoorbeenDornazarexplain why Prophets didn’t know that? First of all you’re arrogance and lack of respect says everything and ofc Prophets(at least in Islam) didn’t believe we came from monkeys💀 We are Muslim and we believe Allah created everything including us..and if you say humans evolved from monkeys then, where did monkeys come from?

[@Armz69]

“There are four signs that make someone a pure hypocrite and whoever has them has a characteristic of hypocrisy until he abandons it: (1) when he speaks he lies; (2) when he makes a covenant he is treacherous; (3) when he makes a promise he breaks it; and (4) when he argues he is wicked.”

[@m.yav.-qs6kc]

1 "I will obey the prophet" 2 see 1 3 see 2 and 3 4 see 1 2 and 3 The moment you find yourself able bodied and minded yet living amongst the disbelievers rest assured you're excommunicated from Islam by the prophet. Obey him and move to the lands of the believers.

[@rose-pz1is]

Decieving n abusive

[@m.yav.-qs6kc]

@@rose-pz1is what, who? Nouman? Absolutely - Google what the did, he made temporary niqah with several of his followers and he settles the lands of the Disbelievers at times. Best to learn Islam from honest people like people who love the idea of Al Qaeda or Islamic state because they're very strict a opposed to these clowns who endorse a liberal Islam. The real Muslims are the strict Muslims according to the prophet. Loving strictness is loving Allah and hating it is hating goodness and hating goodness makes you evil and if you're evil why should Allah love you? Read the stories of Maryam and the wife of pharaoh, who died a martyr for her faith being tortured to death by pharaoh. It's okay to go to extreme great lengths for Allah, it's encouraged. Do you know that we all live in the dust of riba? The less money you earn in this world and the less you spend the better you'll be off, the less evil you'll become. The modern central banking based state is nothing but an organized criminal scheme to turn the rain of Allah into riba like a mafia organization. The moment you start working in this economy you agree to be a soldier in their system.

Alhamdulillah it cleared my most usual doubt...this is just Islam that calms my heart profoundly... Jazakallah khairan

What makes brother Nouman Ali Khan stands out from other Islam speakers is the highlight on psychology. I hope he will continue to do so and even extend his attention on this critical matter.

[@chocolatecookie8571]

And if you want to know more about psychology in general I highly recommend listening to professor Sam Vaknin. He is not a religious person but he is a master when it comes to how the human brain works. He also has some very usefull insights about fylosophy. I think Nouman Ali Khan will appreciate Sam Vaknin as well if he doesn’t know him already.

"Niyaat krta ho hug ki"😭😭😭 ustadh's humor.😂 Ive caught myself when I knew that my intentions weren't sincere its then that I feel bad and fear that Allah will dislike me now. I know Allah is extremely loving and forgiving but when it happens I use it to correct myself and ask for forgiveness. Also Mashallah Yaqub is so cute. He reminds of my younger brother. May Allah protect him and bless him.

[@XIIMark]

Then you're living without a purpose? It's possible you're not actively thinking, maybe due to stress? almost as if you've switched off your cognitive faculties .. some people don't consider their actions, living just to live/survive and just wait for things to happen. Please understand that I'm speaking in general terms here, and not specifically about you, If any of this fits, my hope is that it could provide some insight. The solution is simple: start paying attention to your thoughts. Writing them down might be the best way. Hope this helps! Assalamualaikom wa rahmato Allah

There is nothing wrong in facing the ugly truth in oneself and purifying your intentions. It's hard, but necessary work. We call it muraqaba. Become the best you can be so when you meet Allah, you can hope for his mercy since you tried your absolute best. Absolutely, you will fail to become perfect, as you're only human. But allowing yourself to become blind to your faults, as some kind of faulty emotional defense mechanism, is bad advice. That's what causes a hard heart. Keep purifying it, polishing it. Remember, *"qad aflaha man tazaka"*
