, while another with the other side." (Reported by Abu Hurayra - "Agreed.")Dear Muslims:Since this vice is most hated by Allah and His Messenger, and since the penalty is very heavy, may I request you to kindly check upon yourselves. Check your Iman, your personality, your character, your manners, your behavior and your daily activities. Then try to find out whether you are acting like a Mushrik; like a Kafir; like a Munafiq or like a Mura'i. If any of these vices is having a foothold on you, may I request you kindly to get rid of it and to remove yourselves from it as soon as possible so as to be rewarded by Allah. If you do not act immediately, remember that life is short, and who knows for how long you are to live! Death may be as close to us as a twinkling of an eye. Hence, we should be prepared to face Allah Almighty with happiness and not with sorrows or sadness.Dear Muslims:To conclude my talk may I remind you of the Hadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) saying:"Don't give the title of "Sir" or "Mr." to a hypocrite if he becomes master, or you will displease your Lord the Almighty." (From "Abu Dawud" and "Al-Nisai.")May Almighty Allah bless us all. Ameen...
