Part time Muslims. SMFH.

[idol]

Suddenly chicks who wear skimpy outfits on the regular are wearing head scarf and acting all religious and preaching because Ramadan is near, who f-king does that? I really hate hypocrites.

I need some clarification.

Is Ramadhan a time to rework yourself, ask for forgiveness, try and practice and hope it sticks? Or, is Ramadhan a showcase of part-timism, half-way Mozlems, who go from khutbah to club on jumu'ah throughout the year, but read the Qur'an cover to cover in this coming month? Is the month only for those who continuously practice? If you don't practice throughout the year, should you not bother with changing during Ramadhan, in fear of hypocrisy?

From what I've read on this site so far, in regards to the coming month, it's "doomed if you do, doomed if you don't", when it comes to changing yourself for Ramadhan. I've read posts praising those who try to change for this month, and posts condemning those who change just for Ramadhan, from the same individuals. Honestly, I need help understanding.

Anything?

Alpha to be honest I'm for people trying to change for the better, but what I really hate to see is people who say last weekend to party and live it up and then bam they are spamming your phone/inbox trying to preach to you, I call those people hypocrites and I don't hold back to them. Ramadan is about asking forgiveness, and cleansing your soul.

And come to Eiid everything comes off again. Hypocrites!!!

Are We Muslims ONLY During Ramadhan ?


It is now time for us to re-evaluate our Iman.
Question ourselves, and in process improve ourselves.

We claim to be Muslims, we claim to believe in Allah, but do we really believe in it with a firm heart, or is it just something we say? We claim to “believe” in the Unseen God, but we see the harmful effects of drinking, clubbing and smoking, yet we don’t avoid them. Ask yourselves that if we don’t even believe in what can be seen, do we really believe in the Unseen? Just “believing” in the existence of Allah does not make us Muslims, Shaitaan also, by the way, “believes” in Allah. We must act like Muslims also.

We must also do in actions that what we say in words and that what we know in thoughts. We say we’re Muslims, but are we really? He is not a true Muslim whose hands and tongue are violent. Several of us stopped cursing and backbiting and lying during the month of Ramadhan, but now what?
After Ramadhan is over, should we return to those faults?
Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan ???

Every Muslim is to pray 5 times a day, every day, and no exceptions. Several of us did that very promptly during Ramadhan. Now, after Ramadhan is over, now what? Should we give up those prayers just because Ramadhan is over?
Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan ???

We made duas because we understood that indeed it is Allah who listens and grants. We sought forgiveness from Allah because we realized our faults and felt guilty. We improved our conducts and lowered our voices and controlled our tempers because we realized that a Muslim is he whose actions represent peace and nobility.
Now, after Ramadhan is over, will we go back to our same old self?
Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan ???

We tried our best to close our ears to that which was not permissible to hear, we tried our best to stop our tongues at times when we were about to say something which we are not allowed to say, we tried our best to lower our gazes at sights which we are not allowed to see.
Now, after Ramadhan is over, do those things become permissible to us?
Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan ???

We refrained from going to clubs and watching movies and listening to songs during Ramadhan because we realized these attributes do not represent Muslims.
Now, after Ramadhan is over, should we return to our previous lifestyle?
Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan ???

We were awake at nights, not spending time in clubs or with friends, but instead we were awake at nights to do ibaadat for the Will and Pleasure of Allah.
Now, after Ramadhan is over, are we relieved of our responsibilities?
Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan ???

We refrained from dawn to dusk, not only from the Haraam, but also the Halaal. The purpose of this abstinence was to create patience and virtue, and realize that if you want you can even stay away from the Halaal, so why can you not avoid the Haraam? Sure we can. We just need the will. Now, after Ramadhan is over, can we go back to eating, talking, watching, doing, and thinking Haraam?
Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan ???

If someone changes for the better even for a day,it is better than not having any imaan left to even try. Maybe that day they remember to return to their Allah is the day they definitely change for the better.

Life is trial and error.It is different story if the person is being deliberately hypocritical and flip flopping but relapses are part of it.

I really hate hypocrites.

Is someone considered a hypocrite if they are unaware of their "hypocritical" actions?

NO

HYPOCRITE does things intentionaly

[DropkickMurphy]

Then I doubt these kids can be considered hypocrites. Most of them do not know better thanks to shitty parents. Anyway I say that part time is better than nothing.

Alpha, theres a difference between shaping up during ramadan, for fear of losing out on the ajar of the month, as well as in the hopes that you can take advantage of the months blessings and change for the better...... AND on the other hand theres people who change during ramadan because it's what everyone else is doing.

How can we, or more importantly, who are we to make the distinction? In the end, do not we not all sin?

First you criticized the Fat chicks, as if you're not one yourself. Secondly, you dissed all the FOBs, as if you're not a FOB yourself. Thirdly, here you are, talking about Hypocrites, as if you're not one yourself. Do you have any mirrors at your Apartment? If no, then go buy one ASAP.

If people are able to refrain from committing wrong acts and do not masturbate, dont listen to music, wear religious clothing, pray at all times, do not break fast by eating then they should be able to do this all year and kudos to them for wanting to do it, because its not easy.

Maybe that's the only way they know how to change?
