Hassan Al-Basry said about hypocrisy; “No one but a true believer is afraid of hypocrisy, and the one who feels secure in it is a true hypocrite”. Not wanting to do something because one desires something else is not hypocrisy as long as he eventually does it without hating the law of Allah.

I read in Qur’an verse 9:64 and I am a bit worried. I am studying and learning about Islam. But I am sometimes afraid that I might learn about an order of Allah which would make me do something I severely dislike or make me leave something I dearly love. Is this fear a sign of hypocrisy? Is this what was mentioned in 9:64?
