How many types of nifaaq (hypocrisy) are there
:
There are two types of hypocrisy
1) Hypocrisy in belief (greater hypocrisy): This is an outward show of faith while actually disbelieving and concealing it. This type is an act of shirk. If a person dies persisting in this hypocrisy, he dies in a state of disbelief. Allah Almighty said: ((Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depth (grade) of the hellfire)). [4:145]
Some of the traits of this category of hypocrites are that they seek do deceive Allah and the believers; they mock and make fun of them; they aid the enemy to gain victory over the believers; and they seek the rewards of this world with their good deeds and not the Hereafter.2) Hypocrisy in deeds (lesser hypocrisy), which is not an act of shirk but is still dangerous, since it may lead to major if one fails to repent from it. Some of the traits of this category of hypocrites are that if they speak they lie; if they promise they break it; if they argue they are abusive; if they take an oath they betray it; and if they are entrusted they prove deceitful.
Beware my brothers and sisters lest you have one of these traits, so take precautions against them
