There are two conditions for the acceptance of any righteous deed: 1. Sincerity (اإلخالص): to do the deed sincerely for the sake of Allah (هلالج لج). 2. Following the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) (اإلتباء)

And when it is said to them: "Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger

(Muhammad SAW)," you (Muhammad SAW) see the hypocrites turn away from you (Muhammad SAW) with aversion.

You cannot go to Allah (هلالج لج) without following the sunnah of His Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص). In this passage Allah (هلالج لج) tells us what will happen when it will be said to follow Allah (هلالج لج) and His Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص). Allah (هلالج لج) says تــــــــعالــــــــوا and the word تــــــــعالــــــــوا means to come forward for your elevation. When one follows Allah (هلالج لج) and His Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) then he will be elevated.

How then, when a catastrophe befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth, they

come to you swearing by Allah, "We meant no more than goodwill and conciliation!”

How do the hypocrites react in this situation? You need to obey the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص), but the hypocrites turn away and avoid judging by what he says and they follow the taghut. Allah does not leave them- He nurtures them. When a calamity comes to the hypocrites (هلالج لج)because of what their hands earn, they go the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) swear by Allah (هلالج لج) and tell him my intention is good, we don't want anything except ihsaan (excellence). We need to know that all afflictions, trials, difficulties and hardships in our life are because of what our hands earned from the sins and we need to seek forgiveness. We make mistakes and Allah (هلالج لج) reforms us. Allah (هلالج لج) wants us to be one by following His commands and His Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) but the hypocrites separate between the people by not following the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص). They make problems between people and then say we only want good.

Places of Istigfaar in the Qur’an مواطن اإلستغفار ف القرآن

They (hypocrites) are those of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts; so turn aside from them (do not punish them) but admonish them, and speak to them an effective word (i.e. to believe in

Allah, worship Him, obey Him, and be afraid of Him) to reach their innerselves.

Then Allah tells us- He knows their intentions exactly. Don’t talk about your intentions to the people. We don’t utter our intention even in prayer. So you don't need to justify your evil doing by saying your intention is good- Allah (هلالج لج) knows your intention. Allah (هلالج لج) tells the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) to turn away from them, don't confront them. And then secretly advice them strongly and firmly. This is how Allah (هلالج لج) teaches us how to deal with hypocrites when they are always talking about their good intention. The hypocrites are the ones who are creating problems in the society. They are enemies inside the society because they are Muslims. This is evidence that though you turn away form those doing sin, you need to strongly advice them privately. Also, don’t expose the sins of people publicly. The hypocrite is not taking the shortcut to follow Allah (هلالج لج) and His Messenger .and they take the long way (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص)

We sent no Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allah's Leave. If they (hypocrites), when they had

been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad SAW) and begged Allah's Forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them: indeed, they would have found Allah All-

Forgiving (One Who accepts repentance), Most Merciful. (Surah An Nisa 4:64)

Allah (هلالج لج) tells us that the reason behind Allah (هلالج لج) sending the Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) is to obey him, follow him and to respect him. When Allah (هلالج لج) tells us to follow the Messengers, it shows they don’t make mistakes in conveying the message- Allah (هلالج لج) protects them. The rest of us make a lot of mistakes so we need a lot of forgiveness. That is why we only follow the messengers absolutely. Any calamity we go through is because of our sins. But then why do messengers go through trials though Allah (هلالج لج) forgave their sins and they don't make mistakes in conveying the message? Because it is elevation for them. Obeying the Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) is by the permission of Allah (هلالج لج).

You cannot obey the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) unless Allah (هلالج لج) helps you so you need to ask Allah tells us about his generous (هلالج لج) Then Allah .(ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) to help you to obey the Prophet (هلالج لج)invitation to those who are doing sin- they need to admit, confess and seek forgiveness- even if they are hypocrites.

We all do ظـلم to ourselves- what do we need to do? In the time of the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص), if they didn't follow his command, then they had to go to him and ask forgiveness of Allah (هلالج لج). Then the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) would ask forgiveness for them.then Allah (هلالج لج) will have mercy on them and accept their repentance. Allah (هلالج لج) will forgive them and guide them to all good. If we don’t follow the commands of the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص), we cannot go to his grave and ask him to seek forgiveness because it will be shirk now. You don't need to go anywhere to seek forgiveness- whenever you do wrong to yourself and don’t take the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) as a judge in your matters, then straight away you need to ask Allah (هلالج لج) for forgiveness directly.
