Types of Hipocrisy

Hypocrisy is indeed the worst form of sins in Islam. Every hypocrite

will be severely punished in the Hellfire. Hypocrisy itself contained of
three types:

• Hypocrisy Against Allah SWT Regarding the Actual

Faith

These hypocrites don’t believe of the existence of Allah and the Here-
after. However he proudly show his identity as Muslim. The Holy
Quran mention the hypocrites clearly,

“And when they meet those who believe, they say: We 
believe; and when they are alone with their Satans, 
they say: Surely we are with you, we were only mock-
ing.” – Al Baqara (2:14)

• Hypocrisy Against Allah Regarding the Necessity

of Faith

The faith someone has for Allah regarding the Day of Judgement is
very low and weak. He may know and believe Allah, the Day of Judge-
ment, Hereafter, and the Hellfire, but he fear none of the. One should
do their best to worship Allah and keeping the faith inside their heart.

• Hypocrisy with Other People

A person could be a hypocrite to other person if he become two-faced

and two-tongued. He doesn’t make clear on what side he’s on,
befriend two enemies and give support to each of them.
Punishment for Hypocrisy

risy or nafiq is an unforgivable sins unless that sinned person sin-
cerely repent and return to the way of Islam. Said to be even more

1. To be Put in the Deepest Hell

Allah SWT promised all hypocrite to be put in the lowest level of Hell.

“Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depth 
(grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for 
them.” – An Nisa (4:145)

2. Not to be Helped by Anyone

Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah, and He 
shall requite their deceit to them, and when they 
stand up to prayer they stand up sluggishly; they do 
it only to be seen of men and do not remember Allah 
save a little. Wavering between that (and this), 
(belonging) neither to these nor to those; and whom-
soever Allah causes to err, you shall not find a way for 
him. – An Nisa (4:141)
3. To Bring the Hypocrisy Until Death

Let not then their property and their children excite 
your admiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them 
with these in this world’s life and (that) their souls 
may depart while they are unbelievers. – At Tawba 
(9:55)

4. To be Exiled by Society

“They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, 
and they deceive only themselves and they do not per-
ceive.” – Al Baqara (2:9)

So those are the ways how to cure hypocrisy in Islam. Let’s all stay
away from the disease that even Allah SWT hates the most.
