Can you please advise me how to best deal with a hypocrite? I know someone who is blaten hypocritical Muslim, who belittles all around him while he himself does far worse. I don’t want to excuse my wrong doings either, but I find it very hard to stomach at times. Can you please advise me the best way to deal with this?
Thank you.
The appearance of a hypocritical nature does not necessarily render a person a hypocrite. From what you describe, the person is arrogant and vain.
I suggest you advise him politely to better his ways and to refrain from the sins he is guilty of.
