Avoiding Hypocrisy

Muhammad said there are three signs of the hypocrite:

1. When he (she) speaks, he lies.

2. When he (she) makes a promise, he breaks it.

3. When he (she) is given a responsibility (a trust), he betrays the trust.

A true Muslim speaks the truth, keeps promises, and fulfills responsibilities.

I try to remember this daily. Hypocrisy is certainly not something to strive for!
