Short Discription:By Shaykh al-Islam Ibn al-Qayyim
al-Jawziyyah with an appendix from the work of ash-Shanqiti. In the Qur’an,
Allah has revealed the machinations of the hypocrites, He has unveiled their
beliefs, their qualities, and made their goals clear so that the believers can
be aware of them. He divided mankind into three groups in the beginning of
Surah al-Baqarah: the believer, the disbeliever, and the hypocrite. He
mentioned four verses concerning the believers, two verses concerning the
disbelievers, and thirteen verses concerning the hypocrites due to their
plenitude and the great harm and tribulation they bring to Islam and the
Muslims. The harm they cause to Islam is truly severe for they claim to be
Muslims, they claim to aid and support Islam, whereas in reality they are its
enemies seeking to destroy it from within, covertly spreading their corruption
and ignorance such that the unwary thinks that what they are upon is knowledge
and right action.
