So I was learning more about ISLAM and here’s what I found, may be helpful to those who do wish to correct themselves:
According to Sahih Bukhari, 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.
- Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
- Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
- Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.
- Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner."
The term Munafiq in Arabic and Urdu is primarily a non-religious term that refers to a person whos actions are different from and opposite to his thoughts, which he conceals. In the Qur’an sense the term refers to a person who does not have faith, but pretends to. “When the hypocrites come to thee, they say, ‘We bear witness that thou art indeed the Apostle of God.’ Yea, God knoweth that thou art indeed His Apostle, and God beareth witness that the hypocrites are indeed liars.” - (Qur’an 63:1).
Usually one muslim call another muslim, who have different interpretations of Islam, Munafiq.
The Qur’an has hundreds of ayat (verses) discussing Munafiqeen, referring to them as more dangerous to Muslims than the worst non-Muslim enemies of Islam, and it orders muslims to isolate them Hardly wherever they find them in 33.061. “The hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper wilt thou find for them.” - (Qur’an 4:145).
