Answer:
In Arabic Hypocrisy is termed as Nifaq. It means falsehood, hypocrisy, deception. and maintaining double standards or contradictory attitudes etc. In Islamic term, it is defined as the verbal recognition of Iman and having disbelief in heart. A person doing this is called the Munafiq.
Usually munafiq does it for his social and worldly gains. They dwell with both Muslims and Kafirs (non-believer). Publicly they declare themselves as Muslims, but secretly deny Islam. To describe their conditions, Allah says:
[When they (Munafiq) mix with the believers (Imandar), they say, “We have beliefs (Iman)”. And when they secretly meet the Satans, they say, “We are with you. We only ridicule them.”]
So, from the above discussion we can say that the trait of hypocrite is -
- when he talks, he lies
- When he makes a promise, he violates it,
- when he makes a covenant he acts treacherously, and
- when he quarrels, he deviates from the Truth.
- If anyone trusts him, he proves to be dishonest (If anyone keeps something as a trust with him, he will not return it).
