HIPOCRISY: AN UGLY TRAIT

[sadiq]

Hypocrisy: An Ugly Trait.


Hypocrisy is undoubtedly one of the most detestable qualities.It is in man?s nature to accept happiness and freedom;and to upgrade himself to the highest degree of  dignity. Yet when man becomes polluted with lying, violation of promises and breaking of  agreements, hypocrisy find itself a wide arena and is ready to penetrate such polluted natures. Hypocrisy advances in these circumstances until it becomes an indestructible dam placed on the path of acquiring noble characteristics. Of course, all that stands in the path of sensible conduct and psychological integrity; and contradicts the life of happiness which relies on spiritual perfection.
      Hypocrisy is a dangerous epidemic which threatens man?s honor and dignity, leading to irresponsibility and lowly traits, and replaces his self -confidence with suspicion, pessimism and anxiety. When this troubled person (hypocrite) deals with an unharmonious couple he presents himself as dear friend and faithful adviser and turns around and pushes the other down, greatly criticizing him while infact he has no true feelings for either of them. False compliments, unconditional acceptance of other ideologies and refraining from defending righteousness when it is essential, are all characteristics of hypocrites.
        Because the hypocrite is unable to win the hearts of those he deals with or gain love and respect, his life is full of humiliation and disgust. His attempts to conceal the facts prevents him from living a stable and anxiety free life; for he is in constant fear of the inevitable discovery of what he really is.
       One of the elements of sorrow is the way hypocrisy is spreading and the lack of honesty sincerity among various classes of our society. If hypocrisy penetrates the structure of a community and overwhelms it, then in addition to deceit and lowliness which becomes apparent among them, such a community will face inevitable downfall.
       The conduct of our  present day politicians is on the path of  corruption and disorder. The opinions which they present in their reception rooms varies from those they give in public speeches. They praise the people for their patriotic feelings and then turn around and laugh at the same in their private meetings. I believe that hypocrisy will gradually crawl out of it?s lowly shell and eventually become a praiseworthy quality; for if the upper class of  a society becomes used to hypocrisy, all other classes will follow adopting the same views, for they derive their habits and conduct from the higher classes.
        Dear on-liners, we should always try to be sincere and honest in our manifestations and to always have a pure conscience. These are the most honorable traits of life. Thes traits, which are found in those who have truly pure souls, harmonize personalities and bring peace, unity and strength into the community. It is natural for man to love his faithful friend more than those he doubts.
        I believe we all have short comings, only that some people?s short comings are more unacceptable than others. Let us try our possible best to detest such an ugly trait.      

[Nuruddeen]

This monster is enshrined permanently in to our minds by d devil as if it's evrybody's business....

[elgaazus]

And nowadays its difficult to tell who is free from this ailment of hipocracy, may Allah continue to guides us from its fast spreading tantrums. Amin

[ummita]

However, hypocrisy is not a priviledge.......& I c no reason why humans wit great imaans should allow d devil to possess such a high hierachy in their minds to even plaster such disgusting behaviour in them, let alone manipulate them to think it is there in their minds for "permanent stay" purporse and thus they cant do nothing about hypocrisy or being hypocrites or dey cannot seek solace from God to wipe it off their minds!

When Allah subhanawata'ala made man, he didnt design it in our hearts, therefore the devil shud not be used as an excuse cus some designers are architects of their own self who have made room & accomodated such an ill behaviour in their minds.

So, wat some of us here r basically saying is that, on d day of resurrection, they will point out to shaytan as d sole architect for wrongdoings. :?
