If a muslim has some of the faults above, this does NOT make him/her a hypocrite. There are muslims who are lie or cheat for example, but believe in Allah and pray 5 times. Does this mean his prayers are not accepted and is sent to hell for eternity? NO! A muslim is one who does not commit idolatry or shirk. He will eventually get into heaven after being judged. He may be punished for his sins or receive Allah's mercy, but eventually get into heaven as he is not a polythiest. End of.

@AtaArticles Of course you are right. However, this list of characteristics was taken from ahadith of the prophet (SAW) and the Quran, they were not made up. The prophet (SAW) said, "The signs of the munafiq are three, one of them is that when he speaks, he tells lie." (Sahih Bukhari & Muslim).

You missed some, 31 Making You Tube video containing images of Allah's Creation. 32 Owning a computer which creates and displays images of Allah's Creation.

[jollierancher123]

How does that make one a munafiq.

[TheTomtompiper]

@jollierancher123 Muhammad said that it is forbidden for a Muslim to create an image of Allah's creation or to display an image in ones home. Therefore to label somebody as munafiq using forbidden media is in itself munafiq.

[jollierancher123]

@TheTomtompiper Don't make stuff up, Im aware of that hadith. However that doesn't make someone a munafiq.

I am a Muslim of the West, I agree that their are many Muslim hypocrites in the West. However, MOST of these hypocrites are Arab or Asian or those who were born Muslims. I have not seen hypocrisy in converts such as myself. Lost of hypocrites live in the Arab countries that why Arabs don't care for the lives of their fellow Arabs in other Arab states. That's hypocrisy. Turn on the t.v., to Arabic television and you'll see countless drama shows and music video with fitna. That's hypocrisy!

May allah(swt) forgive me and make me not of those who are hypocrytes and guide my heart and strengthen it.

Allahu akbar.

Brothers make dua for me.

Also, on point 20 about Fear of unpleasant events, incidents and happenings. This is natural human instinct. Yes, whatever tragedy happens, it maybe Allah's decree or our from our own doing. This does not make a muslim a hypocrite. Yes, some points like mocking the Qur'an is seen as a sign of hypocrisy

@DaLynxfighta In the same surah it says: "Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity."

So I did not contradict anything

[DaLynxfighta]

@jollierancher123 ok right i don't watch the videos but as you said about Quran, i see in your picture the sign of the "coexist" with chrisitans and jews then in Quran they are supposed to be dhimmis and so Allah said in Quran don't take them as friend or you'll contradict the religion of Allah.

Just choose your camp.
