Hypocrisy and its various Manifestations An-Nifaq

Hypocrisy and its various Manifestations An-Nifaq 

Hypocrisy is of 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 PBUH).

2. To deny some of all that was brought by the Messenger (Muhammad PBUH) (e.g. the Qur'ân, the Sunnah, laws, and principles of Islam),

3. To hate the Messenger (Muhammad PBUH).

4. To hate some of that which was brought by the Messenger (Muhammad PBUH) e.g. Islamic Monotheism, etc.

5. To feel happy at the disgrace of or the set-back for the religion of Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad PBUH)

6. To dislike that the religion of Allâh's Messenger (Islamic Monotheism), becomes victorious (not being pleased with the victory of Islam).

A person having these six types (of hypocrisy) will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire (Hell). (See Quranic Chapter. 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 Allâh's Messenger PBUH: 

The signs of a hypocrite are these:

1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise).

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

4. (And in another narration of the Prophet PBUH) Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil, insulting manner.

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