Haqq

Salams,
Haqq is such an important theme to us as Muslims. Everyone tries to stand for the truth. The tragedy of this is that so many people are not truthful with themselves.This is especially true, it seems, for outwardly very religious people. It may be true for all the rest as well. If at any level you love Allah, Islam, the Prophet (saw), yourself, your spouse, your children, your parents, the Muslim Ummah, then you have to peel away those layers of nifaq and uncover the haqq within yourself. I have heard the cure of nifaq is infaq, which is spending in the cause of Allah (swt). Give sadaqah. Turn inwards. Make a connection with your own soul and connect with Allah (swt). Be truthful to yourself. Without this inward introspection we will have empty souls walking around, yelling rhetoric, with no substance behind it all. As I have said before, knowledge without character can be very dangerous. This will not only destroy the person him/her self, but will take down many with him/her.
