HYPOCRISY AND ITS VARIOUS MANIFESTATIONS

Hypocrisy is two types, namely:

(A)   Hypocrisy in Belief

(B)   Hypocrisy in deeds and actions.

(A) Hypocrisy in Belief

There are six aspects of hypocrisy in Belief:

1.       To deny the Messenger (Muhammad s.a.w)

2.       To deny some of all that was brought by the Messenger (Muhammad s.a.w.) .(e.i. the Qur’an, the sunnah, laws and principles of Islam).

3.       To hate the Messengers (Muhammad s.a.w.)

4.       To hate some of all that was brought by the Messenger (Muhammad s.a.w.). (e.g. the Islamic Monotheism. Etc.

5.       To feel happy at the disgrace of or setback for the religion of Allah Messenger (Muhammad s.a.w.)

6.       To dislike that the religion of Allah Messenger (Islam Monotheism) becomes victorious (not being pleased at the victory of Islam).

A person having these six types (of hypocrisy) will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire (Hell). (See V.4:145)

(B) Hypocrisy in deeds and actions

There are five aspects of hypocrisy in deeds and actions, and their proof is from the statement of Allah Messenger Muhammad s.a.w. The signs of a hypocrite are these:

1)      Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

2)      Whenever he promises, he always break it (his promise)

3)      If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest (if you keep something as trust with him, he will not return it).

4)    And in another narration of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil, insulting manner.

5)    Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves himself treacherous.
