Characteristics Of a  Munafiq Surah Baqarah(The Cow)

Hypocrisy is a state of the heart, which is expressed by double-faced actions. They have a discrepancy in what they have in their heart & what is on their lips. Munafiq means “double faced”They hide the truth.They are untruthful to others (Momins) and to themselves.They create fasaad, by saying one thing to one person and another to another person, neither of them being the truth.Their words and actions do not match.Hypocrites are present in all times. They prefer to keep their eyes closed rather than see the truth and see the right path.Allah has given them rope to do what they want and they choose to stray further and further away form the right path.They are restless and without peace even in this world and try to entertain themselves with worldly things.They live in a world of self deception. Due to their actions they create fasaad in the world and do not have the understanding that their words and actions are the cause of the fasaad.

[And of mankind are some who say: we believe in Allah and in the Last Day: whereas they are not believers. They would deceive Allah and those who believe, whereas they deceive not save themselves, and they perceive not. In their hearts is a disease, so Allah hath increased unto them that disease; and unto them shall be a torment afflictive, for they have been lying. And when it said unto them: act not corruptly on the earth, they say: we are but reconcilers. Lo! verily it is they who are the corrupters, and yet they perceive not. And when it said unto them: believe even as mankind have believed, they say: shall we believe even as the fools have believed? Lo! verily it is they who are the fools; and yet they know not. And when they meet those who have believed, they say: We believe. And when they are alone with their Satans, they say: verily we are with you, we were but mocking. Allah mocketh back at them, and letteth them in their exorbitance wander bewildered. These are they who purchased error for guidance, but their traffic profited not, nor have they ever become guided. Their likeness is as the likeness of him who kindleth a fire, then when it hath lit up that which is around him, Allah taketh away their light and leaveth them in darknesses where they see not Deaf, dumb, blind; wherefore they will not return. like unto a rain--laden cloud from heaven, wherein are darknesses and thunder and lightening. They so put their fingers in their ears because of the thunder-claps, guarding against death, and Allah is Encompasser of the infidels. The lightning well-nigh snatcheth away their sight; whensoever it flasheth on them, they walk therein, and when it becometh dark unto them, they stand still. And had Allah willed He would of a surety have taken away their hearing and their sights; verily Allah is over everything potent. ] (8-20)2 Surah Al-Baqara
