Hypocrisy: Is It a Necessity of Contemporary Life?

23-2-2018The local newspaper published on....a recent previous day...and it is my habit to browse tangible paper newspapers one day a week; on the other days I turn to my laptop or mobile phone to browse newspapers...local..and foreign...But that day in the local newspaper, I was appalled by what I saw... and read ...so I wanted to write this short article...to vent my anger and to inform my friends on the page that there is a disease widespread among us called hypocrisy...(brush the wool) to achieve personal interests ...Prophetic sayings narrated: 

""---Authenticated by al-Albani—"

"Whoever has four characteristics is a pure hypocrite; and whoever has one of these characteristics has a characteristic of hypocrisy until he abandons it: When entrusted he betrays, and when he speaks he lies, and when he makes a covenant he breaks it, and when he quarrels he resorts to outrage" ---Narrated by al-Bukhari--Fromtheproverbs:"

" The hypocrite is joyous while his heart harms".. "Whoever does what is not in his nature, even if it is right, is exposed to two dangers: the danger of hypocrisy and the danger of failure"..."Our society does not see with the eye but sees with the ear"....Hypocrisy has types, and the clearest is social hypocrisy, which manifests itself in grand advertisements and weekly congratulations, and thanking prominent institutional figures, under the pretext of appreciation...and gratitude....in addition to condolences in the newspapers for the death of a public figure ..or the promotion of so-and-so....or a security agency director whom the media wrote about as..so-and-so son of so-and-so, chief of the agency.Thus...he gave his strict directives....to search and investigate to uncover a theft or a kidnapping.Or to extinguish a fire.., even by using brute force!!! And hours will not pass before the perpetrator is found, or the fire is extinguished, as it becomes clear that the directives of the official personally have produced results ..How could it be otherwise when he is the vigilant eye....And congratulations pour in on the front page of the most widely circulated newspaper with an itemized list of the names of the relevant agency, thanking them one by one......The question, I wonder: Isn’t that his job?....What are the responsibilities and duties assigned to the mentioned agency and its officials when they were appointed.???...This is a public function; the responsibilities and duties must be performed according to proper procedure and without fanfare...."

The hypocrisyhas types, the most common of which is: hypocrisy of affection....to ensure entry into the hearts of others...Some of them say that hypocrisy is a conviction for the continuation of life in a better way, and therefore we must play roles to reach our ends....

And others say that politeness is a form of hypocrisy, but I disagree with them; politeness is to increase the space of understanding and respect among members of society, and it is not characterized by permanence...But, is frankness not required....in every situation, or is that difficult and tightens the noose around its owner so that he finds only a few of his friends.."

Hypocrisy is a scourge, and it diminishes values and lowers the level of peoples who fall victim to it... It must be treated and its occurrence reduced ..How? And when?
