"The hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper wilt thou find for them."
(Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 4:145).

Hypocrisy is of two types:

Hypocrisy in Belief

There are six aspects of hypocrisy in belief:

1. To belie the Messenger (Muhammad)

2. To belie some or all that was brought by the Messenger (Muhammad). (e.g. the Qur'an, the Sunna, laws and principles of Islam).

3. To hate the Messenger (Muhammad)

4. To hate some or all that was brought by the Messenger (Muhammad).e.g. Islamic monotheism, etc.

5. To feel happy at the disgrace of, or setback for, the religion of Allah's Messenger (Muhammad)

6. To dislike that the religion of Allah's Messenger (Islamic Monotheism) becomes victorious (not being pleased at the victory of Islam).

Hypocrisy in Deeds

"The Prophet said, "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.

1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.

2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.

4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner." (Bukhari)
