Assalamu Aleikom Everyone
I am not sure if this has been discussed here before, but I will ask anyway.
Recently I have heard of some people who say they feel "disconnected" to Islam and I have to admit...there was a time not so long ago I did as well. I remember during that time, I was very adamant about making sure my Muslim friends around me and my husband were keeping up with their prayers and being good Muslims. Everytime I would tell them something, I felt guilty and I knew in my heart that I was not doing what I was asking them to do or basically, "not practicing what I preach."
I was reminded of this when I read a thread on here recently..it was an old one and I started to think to myself...could I be one of those hypocrits they are talking about??
I ask this because still, even though I am reletively new to Islam, I struggle with certain things that I shouldn't be struggling with after knowing as much as I do. I try very hard to stay on the right path but, sometimes I will doubt something.
Now here is my question:
Do you believe that it's possible for a person, who is one of the hypocrits, will ever come to know the truth? Even though they believe...do you think they will ever stop doubting...or has Allah tainted their hearts and made them one of the hypocrits and unbelievers?
"Hypocrites are obviously not purified nor cleansed from sins, even if they pray. That is why Allah Almighty cursed them, because they are spiritually "neglectful" of their Prayers."
Is it possible to change?
"The Hypocrites, men and women, (have an understanding) with each other: They enjoin evil, and forbid what is just, and are close with their hands. They have forgotten God; so He hath forgotten them. Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse. (The Noble Quran, 9:67)"
Like Allah Almighty said in the Noble Verse, they enjoin evil and forbid what is just. Some of those people pray and some of their women even cover up their hairs in public. Don't be fooled by them. They are still hypocrites no matter how many times they pray. They are liars and complete show-offs, who like "to be seen of men (4:142)" and "Those who (want but) To be seen (of men) (107:6)".
I ask this because from what I read about hypocrits...it does not seem that they will change. That Allah has made these people in this world for good reason. SO what happens if one feels that they may be one of those people and DOESN'T want to be? Also, what happens when they do try to do good and really they do not do anything bad...just have a little doubt every now and then? Would they then be still considered a hypocrit and never will they stop having those doubts?
I know that the Almighty Allah is most forgiving and those who have faith know when they do bad and repent from it and try to refrain from it afterwards. I know this...but was just wondering about those who are destined to be hypocrits and if there is any hope at all for them?
