Q: When it comes to the religion, is it better to be a hypocrite or retain your knowledge.
For example i have attained knowledge of the Deen. And for some reason i don’t apply it or sometimes i have difficulties performing them. In that case should i preach my knowledge, because it might be an advice or easier on another individual to perform it. Or should i keep my knowledge to my self.

A: Best to preach to people with this in mind that you are preaching to yourself. Only talk about matters that would improve you as a person. Look at yourself to improve rather than others. Always be in a state of shame when telling others what to do when you are in a state of not being able to do a given thing yourself. Allah loves the one that acknowledges their weaknesses and yet possess a sincere interest in doing good.

The sin for preaching and not following is a major sin.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
