The last blog was discussing the aspects of minor hypocrisy, which can be found within muslims. Another aspect of hypocrisy is when one verbally shows support for others and their good projects such as, building a mosque but when the time comes to part in the project such as, donating wealth, they seem to disappear. Similarly, when people are facing good times they verbally support them reminding others of their loyalty to them. But the moment the people face difficulties these hypocrites offer no emotional or physical support. Instead they criticize them. This was the attitude of the hypocrites in the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Chapter 4 An Nisa, verse 62:
“So how [will it be] when disaster strikes them because of what their hands have put forth and then they come to you swearing by Allah, “We intended nothing but good conduct and accommodation.””
Another sign of hypocrisy is that they will always feel secure and safe from fearing they may be a hypocrite. They always declare to others and fool themself into believing that they act with the correct intention which is to please Allah, the Exalted. When hypocrisy is mentioned to them they turn away from it believing they have no portion of it in their hearts thereby claiming purity for themself. Chapter 53 An Najm, verse 32:
“…So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him.”
On the other hand a true believer will always fear that hypocrisy is hidden in their spiritual heart. They constantly judge themself in order to seek it and uproot it from their souls. Even when they perform righteous deeds such as the prayer or charity they fear it will not be accepted by Allah, the Exalted, because of some hypocrisy in their intention and action. Chapter 23 Al Mu’minun, verse 60:
“And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord.”
Hypocrites do nothing and feel safe whereas the believers strive in the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience and still fear they will fail in the hereafter.
