Dear Sister,

4:142 "The Hypocrites - they think they are over-reaching Allah, but He
will over- reach them: When they stand up to prayer, they stand without
earnestness, to be seen of men, but little do they hold Allah in
remembrance;" (Sura - Al-Nisa)

9:67 "The Hypocrites, men and women, (have an understanding) with each
other: They enjoin evil, and forbid what is just, and are close with their
hands. They have forgotten Allah. so He hath forgotten them. Verily the
Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse." (Sura At - Tauba)


29:11 "And Allah most certainly knows those who believe, and as certainly
those who are Hypocrites." (Al' - Ankabut)
