Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Morals The Ominous Signs of Hypocrisy 1 - The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: One who has two faces in this world will have two tongues of fire on the Day of Judgement. 2 - The worst man in the sight of God on the Day of Judgement is the double-faced one. 3 - Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said: The one who talks with Muslims with two tongues and two faces will arrive on the Day of Judgement two tongues of fire.

4 - Imam Baqir (a.s.) has reportedly said: How bad is a slave who has two faces, who praises his brother in front of him and in his absence, eats him up backbites him and if he is wealthy becomes jealous of him and if he comes in trouble refrains from helping him.

In conclusion, the one who, for earning this world, talk with everybody according to his liking and, as the saying goes, eats bread at current price and moreover conceals the truth and usurps the rights of others, is, according to the opinion of great scholars, like Allamah Majlisi, is total a hypocrite. Let us pray to God the Great so that He may protect us from this wicked vice.

Lesson: 22 : One of the Signs of Hypocrisy is Lying Yes, lying is the aim of hypocrisy, because, truthfulness means harmony or likeness of the tongue and the heart. A liar does not have this harmony. Hence hypocrisy is nothing but is the contradiction between truth and falsehood.

In verse 77 of Surah Tawbah we read: So He made hypocrisy to follow as a consequence into their hearts till the day when they shall meet Him because they failed to perform towards Allah what they had promised with Him and because they told lies. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: There are four attributes. Anyone having them is a hypocrite.

If he has some of the four, he becomes a hypocrite in that proportion unless he gives them up the vices are: A - lies while telling anything, B - When he gives a promise, he breaks it, C - When he makes a treaty, breaches it and D - When he indulges in enmity he resorts to oppression. Now Look at these Narrations: 1 - Imam Baqir (a.s.) said: The Lord Almighty has kept locks for evil and wickedness and the key those locks is wine because intoxicants drive away intelligence.

Then he added: Lying is worse than wine. 2 - Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.) said: All dirty things are kept in a room and the key to that room is lying. 3 - The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: Keep distance from lying as lying directs man toward bad deeds and bad deeds lead man to Hell.
