In order for a muslim to adopt noble character they must be aware and avoid bad character. One type of character which contains many evil traits which has been the subject of many verses of the Holy Quran and the Hadiths of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is hypocrisy. It is a deep and disastrous spiritual disease which can effect a person in such a subtle way that they may live their entire life without being aware of how much it has taken over their spiritual heart. Therefore, this blog series will discuss the aspects of hypocrisy so that muslims can avoid them and instead adopt noble character.
They are two types of hypocrisy: major and minor. The major type refers mainly to those who lived in the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. They outwardly accepted faith while rejecting it with their hearts. Their purpose was to gain the benefits of being a muslim, such as spoils of war and they also desired to destroy Islam from within. They have been promised eternal punishment in the lowest depths of Hell. Chapter 4 An Nisa, verse 145:
“Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire – and never will you find for them a helper.”
The minor type does not take one out of the fold of Islam but it is none the less a type of character which is far from a successful muslim. Whoever persists on it without sincere repentance may well find themself facing punishment in both worlds.
