Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:8] What does this mean here?
The student: Some.
The Shaykh : Some, meaning partial, that is, some of the people, and they are the hypocrites,[Al-Baqarah 2:8] meaning with their tongues, [Al-Baqarah 2:8] meaning with their hearts. So they say with their tongues that they are believers, but they are not believers with their hearts. These are the pure hypocrites.
There are people who said:, and Allah said to His Messenger: [Al-Hujurat 49:14] These are in a better state than the hypocrites because Allah said about them: [Al-Hujurat 49:14] This indicates negation with the nearness of occurrence, meaning he has not entered, but he will enter soon.
I say that these people say "We believe in Allah and the Last Day" with their tongues, but they are not believers in that with their hearts.
And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allah
