Identifying Hypocrisy

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that a hypocrite can be identified by three signs: lying, breaking promises, and betraying trust.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "There are three signs of a hypocrite: When he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he betrays his trust". Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Another narration adds the words: 'Even if he observes fasts, performs Salat and asserts that he is a Muslim".
عن أبي هريرة ، رضي الله عنه ، أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ “آية المنافق ثلاث‏:‏ إذا حدث كذب، وإذا وعد أخلف، وإذا أؤتمن خان‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that a hypocrite can be identified by three signs. Firstly, they are known to lie when they speak. Secondly, they break the promises they make and thirdly, they betray the trust of those who have put their faith in them. Even if someone fasts or prays regularly and claims to be a Muslim does not mean that he is not a hypocrite as these three signs are enough to identify one's true nature. It is important for us to remember this teaching so we can protect ourselves from being deceived by hypocrites in our lives.
