characteristics of munafiqs in creed:

1. They are mischief makers in the Islamiccommunity: When it is said to them: "Make not

mischief on the earth", they say: "Why, we onlywant to make peace!" ", (al-Baqara, 2/11).

When they meet those who believe, they say: "Webelieve" but when they are alone with their evil

ones they say: "We are really with you; we(were) only jesting" (al-Baqara, 2/13-14).


3/10

When they stand up to prayer, they stand withoutearnestness (an-Nisa,4/142-3).

They swear to falsehood knowingly in order to obstructmen from the Path of Allah (al-Mujadila, 58/14; al-

Munafiqun, 63/2).2. The heart of munafiqs are like infertile land (al-A'raf,

7/58),

3. they act based on their interests (an-Nisa, 4/141):

When munafiqs were told to, "Spend some money oncharity before you come to talk to the Prophet", itwas seen that they ran away because it contradictedtheir material interests. (al-Mujadila, 58/13).


4/10

Munafiqs do some immoral deeds in order toobtain material interest. As a matter of fact,Abdullah Ubn Ubayy b. Salul forced the female

slaves to prostitute in order to earn money. Munafiqs are close with their hands; they have

forgotten Allah (at-Tawba, 9/67),

if the right is on their side they come to the

Prophet with all submission (an-Nur, 24/49);

they believe in appearance but reject faith intheir hearts (al-Munafiqun, 63/3).


5/10

Munafiqs who say "we believe in and obey Allahand the Prophet" (an-Nur, 24/47; al-Munafiqun,63/1)

but they are afraid lest a Surah should be sentdown about them, showing them what is in theirhearts (al-Infitar, 82/4-5; at-Tawba, 9/64).

They love to see scandal published broadcast

among the believers (an-Nur, 24/19);

love to be praised for what they have not done(Aal-i-Imran, 3/188);


6/10

They ridicule the verses of the Quran (an-Nisa, 4/140);

They stir up sedition and lies in the Islamic community(al-Ahzab, 33/60-61);

they swear that they will fight for Allah but then escape

when it is time for jihad (an-Nur, 24/63); When believers gain a victory, they say: "Were we not

with you?" in order to share the success and thebooty But if the Unbelievers gain a success, they say

(to them): "Did we not guard you from the believers?"(an-Nisa, 4/141).

they will dwell in the fire of Hell eternally (at-Tawba,9/67-69).


7/10

The Quran tells us that munafiqs will want the intereststhey received in the world due to being in the Islamiccommunity to continue in the hereafter but that it will notbe possible as follows:

"One Day will the hypocrites men and women say to theBelievers: "Wait for us! Let us borrow (a light) from yourLight!" It will be said: "Turn back to your rear! Then seek alight where you can"; they will see that there is a wallbetween them and the believers. (Those without) will callout "were we not with you?" They will reply "True! But

you led yourselves into temptation."(al-Hadid 57/13-15). Thus, munafiqs and unbelievers will come together in Hell

(an-Nisa, 4/140).


8/10

It is observed that The Prophet (pbuh) carries outa careful and cautious policy against munafiqsand that he does not treat them in the same way

as he treats non-Muslims; on the contrary, he does not alienate them from

the Islamic community but he makes themineffective by the strong authority he has over

them.

2. Nifaq related to deeds:

acts and attitudes

" There are three signs of a munafiq: When he speaks helies; when he promises, he breaks his promise and when he

is entrusted, he embezzles" (Tirmidhi, Iman, 14) When nifaq related to deeds increases, it may cause a

Muslim to approach nifaq related to creed in the future.

However, nifaq related to deeds does not mean that theperson is a real munafiq.

Even if a person has a characteristic of a munafiq, he is notregarded a munafiq.
