This seven-part series details the different types of hypocrites and their various traits. The dangers of adopting these traits is emphasised so that the believers identify and avoid them.

Continuing on the topic of hypocrisy, this talk covers verses 16-20 of S?rat al-Baqarah. The trait of short-sightedness within the hypocrites is identified. It is shown here how shallow a mun?fiq is and how he sacrifices even basic principles for short-term gains in the duny?; thereby squandering salvation in the hereafter. Throughout the talk, a mu’min is described as having opposite qualities to that of a mun?fiq, such as keeping his sight on the hereafter.

Two interpretations are given to the example brought of those lighting a fire, each interpretation referring to a different type of hypocrite. Another trait of hypocrisy was here identified as not being able to see the truth despite staring at it; explaining the description of the mun?fiq?n as deaf, dumb and blind.

The parable of the Qur'?n as a rain-laden cloud is further explained and how the type of mun?fiq?n who wavered only responded to the Qur'an at times, whilst refusing to listen to verses of warning. It is also emphasised that such traits and behaviours of hypocrisy concern us as well and how even the Sa??bah feared falling into them.
