After the death of Prophet Muhammad, first the Umayyads and then the Abbasids usurped the Islamic empire. These Arab tribes rivaled and intermittently massacred each other in their bid to rule Arabia and the captured lands. The Alids were the third contenders. The three tribes shared ancestry with the Prophet and coveted his political legacy. The play tells the story of how they ruled the conquered peoples of Arabia and Persia. Among the characters of this play, Wasil bin Atta, Jahm bin Safwan, and Ja'ad bin Dirham are regarded by historians as great philosophers. However, only Wasil died of natural causes while zealous rulers executed the latter two because of their skepticism about the Qur'an and the Islamic teachings as the word of God. Their critical analysis of these beliefs had led them to find logical contradictions between divine determinism and the eternal damnation of sinners. Their main thesis was that if everything happened by Allah's will, then it logically followed that sinners too were subject to Allah's will, and could not be condemned to hell. Likewise, the greatest scholars of Arabic prose and poetry, Ibn al Muqqafa, Abdul Hameed, and Bashshar bin Burd were brutally killed. Imam Abu Hanifa, the greatest jurist and reformer of Islamic Law, died in prison. The Khilafa rulers and bigots among the masses seldom spared geniuses who ideologically challenged them. This led to the intellectual darkness that still pervades the world of Islam. Writing on noble themes was seen as attempts to undermine the supremacy of the Qur'an as the word of God, and hence sinful. With such phenomenal zeal, no wonder the list of non-conforming scholars who were humiliated, persecuted, and/or killed is long but, to limit the length of this play, the stories of only seven have been illustrated.

Unbelieving believers are simply nonexercisers of faith. There will be absolutely no need for me as an individual to pay close attention or even listen to something or anything that I do not believe in. It is something that catches my imagination and attention that I believe in. In the body of Christ, we are called believers because of what we believe, that God is God and he is who he says that he is and he will do whatever he has promised to do. Full stop!

In the Qur'an, Allah has revealed the machinations of the hypocrites, He has unveiled their beliefs, their qualities, and made their goals clear so that the believers can be aware of them. He divided mankind into three groups in the beginning of Surah al-Baqarah: the believer, the disbeliever, and the hypocrite. He mentioned four verses concerning the believers, two verses concerning the disbelievers, and thirteen verses concerning the hypocrites due to their plenitude and the great harm and tribulation they bring to Islam and the Muslims. The harm they cause to Islam is truly severe for they claim to be Muslims, they claim to aid and support Islam, whereas in reality they are its enemies seeking to destroy it from within, covertly spreading their corruption and ignorance such that the unwary thinks that what they are upon is knowledge and right action.

I am hypocrite and a convicted terrorist. Islam to me is just a label to profit from it. I have no mercy for others, and so God will never have Mercy for me. I slaughtered innocent women and children in their sleep. I destroy the Rizq (provisions) of the innocent and the poor for fame and profit. I am a hypocrite, and yet I have over 10,000 followers and all want to be just like me. Read this beautiful book by Ibn Qayyim to understand hypocrisy.

Zealous faith can have a dangerous, dark side. While recent calls for radical Christians have challenged many to be more passionate about their faith, the down side can be a budding arrogance and self-righteousness that “accidentally” sneaks into our outlook. In Accidental Pharisees, bestselling author Larry Osborne diagnoses nine of the most common traps that can ensnare Christians on the road to a deeper life of faith. Rejecting attempts to turn the call to follow Christ into a new form of legalism, he shows readers how to avoid the temptations of pride, exclusivity, legalism, and hypocrisy, Larry reminds us that attempts to fan the flames of full-on discipleship and call people to Christlikeness should be rooted in love and humility. Christians stirred by calls to radical discipleship, but unsure how to respond, will be challenged and encouraged to develop a truly Christlike zeal for God.

Compassion and humility are among the most basic tenets of Christianity. In modern America, however, it is vengeful, self-righteous Christians who are the most vocal. For the increasingly forgotten moderate Christian, there's a strong chance that evangelical fundamentalists will someday bang on the door, either literally or figuratively. How does one defend himself or herself, and his or her beliefs, from a fundamentalist firebrand? Edward M. Craig's How to Fight Off a Fundamentalist is filled with rational, common-sense rebuttals to their irrational, sanctimonious arguments. Craig tackles hot-button issues like homosexuality, race, child abuse, war, and environmental degradation with keen insight and disarming humor. He has meticulously researched biblical texts, theology, and church history. He explores the surprising connections between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. From Manifest Destiny to the Catholic Church's pedophilia scandals to famous televangelist Joel Osteen's megamillions, Craig gives historical and real-life examples of fundamentalist hypocrisy. Non-Christians will appreciate that his book makes no assumptions about the reader's religious beliefs. Lay Christians will enjoy the amusing illustrations and the in-depth comparisons of the fundamentalist fervency of various Christian denominations on his “Sanctimometer.” Even clergymen might learn a thing or two from his dissection of the Bible's contradictions and historical inaccuracies.How to Fight Off a Fundamentalist provides thinking Christians and non-Christians alike a much-needed arsenal against self-righteous ignorance.

In Hypocrisy, James Spiegel draws insights from ethics, theology, psychology, apologetics, and spiritual formation to guide you through this complex subject.

How can we deal with our Inner hypocrisy as human beings who claim to follow God but often don't live according to his commands and teachings? This is a question we should ask ourselves, Are we living a Hypocrite life or are we right with God? Hypocrisy is among the greatest sins of Christians all throughout the ages. It has led many astray. "The leaven of hypocrisy" can soon infect an entire church. The church at Laodicea thought that things were going well. They said, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need for anything." But the Lord's perspective was, "You do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked" (Rev. 3:17)! You can almost see the religious types over in the corner as this is read, feeling very smug and self-righteous, and thinking "We don't hate God; we're not full of murder and strife and wickedness and evil schemes." It's this kind of person who sometimes gives Christianity a very bad name. Due to hypocrisy, many unbelievers are turned off to Christianity, thinking that we are no different to others.Sadly, hypocrisy isn't just found among members of the Church, but also among its leaders. We have all been hypocrites at some time of our lives. In fact, this sin is a struggle for many of us. Now, here's the hope that we all have: Hypocrisy, like any sin, can be overcome. You may not successfully eliminate it from your life overnight, but the important thing is that you are struggling against it. As long as you are putting an effort in eliminating hypocrisy in your life even little by little, God can see your heart and will commend you for that. He is more than willing to help you overcome hypocrisy and live a genuine and blessed life. Just pray and ask for His help. No one's perfect but we must aim for perfection (Matthew 5:48). That's how high God has set the standard that we all should live by. I believe that with this newly revised edition "The Leaven Of Hypocrisy" you'll have a clearer picture on what Hypocrisy is all about and why God shuns it, And by having this fresh insight, you will have a better idea on how to overcome this.

How to live confidently for Jesus in today's world. The church used to be recognized as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence. In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism? Author Stephen McAlpine offers an analysis of how our culture ended up this way and explains key points of tension between biblical Christianity and secular culture. He encourages Christians not to be ashamed of the gospel as it is more liberating, fulfilling and joyful than anything the world has to offer. He also offers strategies for coping in this world, with its opposing values, and for reaching out to others wisely with the truth.
