💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Allah the Almighty knows best. During the time of the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam there were some individuals who concealed their disbelief / polytheism while pretending to be Muslims, residing temporarily among the Muslim communities either to cause chaos and fitna or to act as spies on behalf of other disbelievers. A lot of these hypocrites (munaafiqeen / male hypocrites and munaafiqaat / female hypocrites) can be found even today if you're able to discern some of their typical traits, including untrustworthiness and lack of actual good character.
❌ Nine examples of awful acts which some female hypocrites would do:
1] While some of the female hypocrites would wear long and loose abaya or jilbab when going to the Masjid and attending Islamic gatherings, that's not how they usually dress when they're outdoors and when they don't expect to interact with true Muslims.
2] If some of them manage a channel on YouTube, they upload videos of themselves while wearing the hijaab for a certain period, then after some time they proudly announce that they've decided to quit wearing the hijaab due to personal reasons, with an agenda to negatively influence their fans to imitate their wrong choices.
3] Their names and/or surnames are fake. One of them, with obnoxious self-flattery, may call herself "Al-Maghrebeyya" while she can't even construct a single Arabic sentence and has absolutely nothing to do with Morocco, and another chose the name "Zaraafa" without knowing how to explain its meaning and why she selected it as her "Muslim name".
4] They probably don't pray to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala on a regular basis, particularly if they haven't sincerely accepted Islam in the first place. If you ask them to elaborate on how they pray, to check if they know how to perform the Salah (prayer) correctly, you'd realize that they keep changing the topic or can't answer any of your questions about Islam straightforwardly. If you're on an outing with mutual acquaintances and you pause an activity for some minutes because you want to pray an obligatory prayer on time, you can sense that some of the female hypocrites feel annoyed about the interruption and clearly they're not eager to join you in praying punctually.
5] They answer your salaams only if they like you or if they're in a good mood. Sincere Muslims would try their best to obey Allah's Command when it comes to answering others' greetings, whether the individual greeting is a Muslim or not Muslim yet. Read verse 86 from Surah An-Nisaa.
6] A lot of their social media posts, on Facebook and/or Instagram, revolve around materialism, emphasizing how much they're naively obsessed with this worldly life, and advertising ridiculously overpriced products they're trying to sell. Seldom or almost never do they share verses from the Noble Qur'an or authentic sayings of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam.
7] They hardly ever say "SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam" whenever the name of the noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam is mentioned.
8] Although they are wealthy or financially able to spend some money on the needy, they are actually selfish and either do what they can to abstain from doing charity or occasionally act generous but with reluctance and insincerity.
9] All in all they're untrustworthy, disrespectful and gossipy. You've caught them more than once telling an obvious lie or jealously gossiping about other human beings.
Actual hypocrites who don't fear Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala are incapable of feeling guilty about committing major or minor sins because they don't believe in Islam and the Day of Judgment in the first place.
➡️ Quick tips on dealing with hypocrites:
1] Don't expect them to be reliable and truthful 24/7. Whatever info and story they invent about themselves or their loved ones shouldn't be taken immediately as a fact but probable fabrication to get a rise out of you.
2] Don't be surprised if their lousy manners and unreliability disappointed you multiple times. Hypocrites are notorious for breaking promises, pulling pranks, and attempting to disturb the peace in Muslim communities.
3] Avoid them for Allah's sake as much as possible to shield your faith / Imaan and emotional wellness from their lies, fakery and ignorance.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Among the signs of a hypocrite are three, even if he fasts and prays and claims to be a Muslim: When he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he betrays."
