Question:
In His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He, regarding the hypocrites:[An-Nisa 4:146] He asks: What type of shirk (associating partners with Allah) is it with respect to the hypocrites?
Answer:
Sincere your religion for Allah, because the hypocrite shows off,[An-Nisa 4:142], which is the showing off of shirk (associating partners with Allah). They show off with the showing off of shirk, meaning they intend by their worship to be seen by people, to be praised by people, or to be given something of this world. This is the showing off that is major shirk, the showing off of the hypocrites. So whoever repents from this showing off and makes his religion sincere for Allah, Allah will accept his repentance. Yes.
In His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He, regarding the hypocrites:
Except for those who repent, correct themselves, hold fast to Allah, and are sincere in their religion for Allah
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَأَصْلَحُوا وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِاللَّهِ وَأَخْلَصُوا دِينَهُمْ لِلَّهِAnswer:
Sincere your religion for Allah, because the hypocrite shows off,
showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little,
يُرَاءُونَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
