In this column, I would try to highlight in the context point of views of HYPOCRISY in our religion Islam. As I found out that some Muslims have the misconception to understand the related words of hypocrisy in their every day life in the Islamic community at large. From my gathered knowledge, it is well noted that there are two types of hypocrisy, namely the 'Hypocrisy in Believe' and in the second is 'Hypocrisy in Deeds and Actions'. Whatsoever we would try to refer to some of the verses in surah Al-Baqarah as mentioned below:
Surah Al-Baqarah verses 8-12: (The Cow)
Verse 8: - "Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in God and the Last Day, "but they do not believe."
Verse 9: - "Fain would they deceive God and those who believe, but the only deceive themselves, and realize [it] not."
Verse 10: - "In their hearts is a disease, and God has increase their disease, and grievous in the penalty they [incur], because the are false [to themselves]."
Verse 11: - "When it is to them: "Make not mischief on the earth, they say: "Why, we only want to make peace!."
Verse 12: - "Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realize [it] not."
As stipulated in the aforementioned verses in surah Al-Baqarah the understanding of Hypocrisy in our religion Islam is that some of the Muslim unbelievers totally refuse to believe in God in the Last Day. In other words, they obviously deceive themselves by saying that they believe in God in the Last Day. In spite of the facts in their hearts there appear diseases they incur and they will receive punishments in the Afterlife. They are told several times to avoided hypocrisy and mischief in day today living, instead they are so arrogant and would fool themselves that they want to make peace and good deeds among the fellow Muslims. But for sure, They are false and consequently they continue to do mischief although they vehemently deny it. They actually regarded that the practice hypocrisy is norm in their way of life in this world. So, they would not at all fear the wrath of Allah SWT.
The two types of Hypocrisy are mentioned below:
(A) Hypocrisy in Believe:
1] To believe the Messenger of Allah SWT [Prophet Muhammad s.a.w]
2] To believe some of all that were brought by the Messenger of Allah SWT [e.g the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah Rasulullah and the Principal of Islam]
3] To hate the Messenger of Allah SWT
4] To hate some of which were brought by the Messenger of Allah SWT [e.g Islamic Monotheism]
5] To feel happy at the disgrace of the setback for the religion of Allah SWT Messenger
6] To dislike the religion of Allah SWT Messenger, [e.g Islamic Monotheism becomes victorious, not being pleased at the victory of Islam]
(B) Hypocrisy in Deeds and Actions:
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 with him, he will not return it]
4] In another narration of the Prophet s.a.w: "Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a imprudent evil and insulting manner
5] Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves himself treacherous.
Muslims who performs the above mentioned hypocrisy whatsoever in belief or deeds and actions in the nature of mischief or evil-deeds would obviously be thrown in the lowest depth [grade] of Fire of the Hell in the Hereafter. This is cited in surah An-Nisa verse 145:
"Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depth who [grade] of the Fire, no helper will find for them."
Finally, I conclude and considered those are the Muslim unbelievers who do not fear the wrath and admonition of Allah SWT and totally discredit His Guidance and Prophet s.a.w. They are the ones are at a loss of true direction for they should realize and firmly believe that Allah SWT is All-Mighty and has Power over all things in this world and the unbelievers would surely be Judged in the Last Day whether they would be heavenly rewarded or thrown in Hell in the Hereafter. So, Muslims should be aware and hold steadfastly try to avoid hypocrisy and never be such hypocrites in their daily day today living.
Hypocrisy is the wrath of Allah SWT
