The difference between a hypocrite and a normal Muslim who sins, is that a hypocrite adopts an
unacceptable life style and actions, and insists on following it, while a normal Muslim knows
that he is wrong, tries to resist doing sins, but unfortunately sometimes, he still falls into
sinning due to immaturity or physical weaknesses.
In a nut shell, this is what a hypocrite is in Islam. A hypocrite is a "Muslim". He is not an
apostate (murtadd), nor is he a polytheist or idol worshiper (mushrik), nor is he an atheist
(mulhid). A hypocrite does declare Islam as his religion, and in some cases even prays to GOD
Almighty and fasts the month of Ramadan. Not everyone who Prays to Allah Almighty,
however, is a good Muslim. Allah Almighty said:
"So woe to the worshipers Who are neglectful Of their Prayers, Those who (want but) To be
seen (of men), But refuse (to supply) (Even) neighbourly needs. (The Noble Quran, 107:4-7)"
"The Hypocrites - they think they are over-reaching God, but He will over-reach them: When
they stand up to prayer, they stand without earnestness, to be seen of men, but little do they
hold God in remembrance; (The Noble Quran, 4:142)"
Those who are neglectful of their Prayers that are considered as hypocrites are ones who pray to
only gain recognition by men, and refuse to do good. They do not connect spiritually with Allah
Almighty when they pray 5 times every day, because the sole purpose of Praying in Islam is to
Worship Allah Almighty alone throughout the day, and to constantly stay focused and purified
from sins.
Hypocrites are obviously not purified nor cleansed from sins, even if they pray. That is why
Allah Almighty cursed them, because they are spiritually "neglectful" of their Prayers.
Very Important Note: While Allah Almighty will still punish even the sincere Muslims who
neglect their Prayers out of physical laziness, but these Muslims by far are never considered
hypocrites. There is a difference between a hypocrite who wants to be seen by men and gain
worldly recognition through his prayer, and one who is physically lazy, but yet, is still a very
good and sincere Muslim who tries his/her best to please Allah Almighty in his actions and
life style. Allah Almighty also said:
"The Hypocrites, men and women, (have an understanding) with each other: They enjoin evil,
and forbid what is just, and are close with their hands. They have forgotten God; so He hath
forgotten them. Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse. (The Noble Quran, 9:67)"
So as we can see, the hypocrites enjoin evil and forbid what is just. Sincere Muslims, even if
they don't Pray regularly (5 times everyday), don't fall into that category, because their daily
actions and life style are far from enjoining evil and forbidding what is just.
"And that He may punish the Hypocrites, men and women, and the Polytheists men and
women, who imagine an evil opinion of God. On them is a round of Evil: the Wrath of God is on
them: He has cursed them and got Hell ready for them: and evil is it for a destination. (The
Noble Quran, 48:6)"
In fact, the Muslim hypocrites will be in the most painful level of Hell. They are worse than the
disbelievers themselves in the Eyes of Allah Almighty:
"The Hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper wilt thou find for them; (The
Noble Quran, 4:145)"
Allah Almighty is currently cursing them. The Muslims in the West are known to be more and
more materialistic. They demand too much money when it comes to marriage, and they love to
show off. They are also very disrespectful and despising to Islam, too ridiculously open to a
point where many of the Muslim women wear inappropriate and too revealing cloths, and carry
very dangerous liberal beliefs that contradict Islam in every way.
They view Islam as something backward that must be fought, and they use the Taliban and other
Muslim extremists as an excuse to their evil actions and life style that they adopted. The Talibans
and the extremists from the Muslims who despise women and humanity in general, don't
represent much of Islam, if they even represent Islam at all. But unfortunately today, if a Muslim
doesn't have the "extremists" beliefs, then most likely in the West, he/she would be a hypocrite
one; one who adopted the evil life style and liberal beliefs.
So while I personally strongly disagree with the Muslim extremists and their life style, but I must
admit that they are far better than the majority of those who are not. It is very difficult to find
moderate Muslims today, even in the Muslim countries themselves, because I see everyday on
my Arabic Satellite TV how the Arabs are becoming more and more Westernized in the negative
way. They are too materialistic, and social morality is endangered. It is common these days to
see "boy friends and girl friends" in the Arab world. It is common to hear about illegal sex. It is
common to see inappropriate cloths being worn by both men and women. Even tattoos and men
growing their hair; even beyond the shoulder level, are becoming normal in the Arab and Muslim
world today! It wouldn't even surprise me if homosexuality is on the rise over there!
Allah, Islam, Quran, Muhammad questions and answers.
The corruptions and infidel dictatorships in the Muslim world today were prophesized by
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
Muslims are commanded by Allah Almighty to raise the wrath of the fight-seeking disbelievers
toward them, and to fight evil with courage.
