Summary of Sunni concepts
Hypocrisy is of two types
Hypocrisy is of two types: greater hypocrisy and lesser hypocrisy
The greatest hypocrisy is also called belief hypocrisy
It expels its companion from the religion and places him in the afterlife in the lowest level of Hell if he dies in that state
Its reality is that a person shows faith in God, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and destiny
It contains what contradicts all or some of that
This is the hypocrisy that existed during the era of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
The Qur’an was revealed to warn against it and to disparage its people and declare them infidels
That is because they believed and then disbelieved, and it was sealed in their hearts so they do not understand
They are more disbelieving and hostile than the outright infidels
As God Almighty said about them, they are the enemy, so beware of them
One of the most important forms of greater hypocrisy and the characteristics of its people
Firstly, the hostility of the believers, as in the previous verse, and the hatred of their victory over the infidels
Secondly, hatred of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, and what he brought
And turning away from him and harming him or disgracing him or disgracing him
Thirdly, joy and pleasure over the defeat of the Muslims and the decline of their religion
Fourth, mocking believers for their faith and obedience to the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
Fifthly, he insulted Islamic law and described it as cruel and contradictory to humanity
It is not suitable for our time
Sixth, taking charge of the infidels and loving their legislation that contradicts the law of God
Seventh: Loving the victory of the infidels over the Muslims
How clear are these qualities in the hypocrites of our time, including politicians, media figures, secularists, and liberals
They claim to love their country, but in reality they are enemies of the country and its interests
By their loyalty to his enemies and their hostility to God’s law and those calling for it
And by spreading corruption and immorality among the people of the nation
And by corrupting their religion, their souls, their minds, their money, and their honor
The greatest hypocrisy occurs if its owner does not show it except in the tone of speech
But if he shows the previous contradictions and calls for them
At that time, he will be an apostate and the provisions for an apostate will apply to him
Minor hypocrisy is also called practical hypocrisy
It is for a person to display some of the characteristics and deeds of hypocrites
With the origin of his faith
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, warned
On the most dangerous of these characteristics, he said:
The sign of the hypocrite is three
If it happened, he lied
If he promised, he broke it
And if it comes from a betrayer
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, also said
Four: Whoever was in it was a pure hypocrite
And whoever has one of them in him
There was a streak of hypocrisy in him until he abandoned it
If it comes from Khan
If it happened, he lied
And if he made a covenant, he would betray him
And if it is special, it will not dawn
Agreed
The person who has these qualities is similar in his actions to hypocrites
Even if he does not inwardly disbelieve
Because he combined the hypocrisy of action with the origin of faith
But if these qualities are established and completed
Its owner may abandon Islam completely
And he is a pure hypocrite
And the bottom line
The lesser hypocrisy is all due to the difference between secret and public hypocrisy
