We are becoming a people that the appearance of Islam is more important, and the manners of Islam have dissappeared.
We all know that making partners with Allah (shirk) is a big crime against Allah.
To say what you don't intend to do is very hateful to Allah. Allah Most High says,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٢﴾ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٣﴾
O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do? (1) Very hateful is it to God, that you say what you do not. (2) [Quran, as-Saff 61:2-3]
Hypocrisy is also big crime. The hypocrites will be thrown into Hell along with the disbelievers. Allah Most High says,
وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتِ وَٱلْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ هِىَ حَسْبُهُمْ ۚ وَلَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ ﴿٦٨﴾
Allah has promised the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the disbelievers the fire of Hell, wherein they will abide eternally. It is sufficient for them. And Allah has cursed them, and for them is an enduring punishment. (68) [Quran, At-Tawba 9:68]
Now what do you think about talking bad of other believers?
Allah Most High says,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ ٱلظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا۟ وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١٢﴾
O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.
[Quran, al-Hujurat 49:12]
You might think it is not a big deal, it's just a comment, a couple of words typed, its just a conversation...but it is a big massive crime you have done against Allah. Once the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam turned to the Ka'abah and said, the dignity of a believer to Allah is more sacred than you.
How much respect would you show to the Ka'aba when you wil get the honor to be in its presence? Would you ever imagine being disrespectful, being condescending, making jokes in the House of Allah? You would be terrified at the idea and yet when it comes to your fellow believers it is so easy to just talk and gossip.
The offense of disrespecting and dishonoring your fellow believers is not just against the person but also against Allah Himself for which you immediately must beg for His forgiveness because you recognized you have crossed something sacred against Allah Himself.
May Allah protect us from hypocrisy, from doing acts displeasing to Him, and all the sins of the limbs. Aameen.
