A friend with hypocritical properties?

[amiracoolhaque]

Assalamu alaikum,

I wanted your nasiha on having friends that are hypocrites. Meaning they are insincere, and they say one thing to you, but the opposite to another. They often lie about emotions. I feel that I am developing some hypocrisy from their company. These friends are quite close to me, so it would be quite sudden if I were to stop talking to them.


How do you advise to proceed?

Jazakallahum khairan.

For some reason, there are certain friends I don't mind keep giving to and don't expect anything in return.

I feel like that too. I do it though because I know they do appreciate it but may not be able to reciprocate it.

Aren't all women like that? I think it's a type of "gossip."

Salamu'alaikum its time to call it a day with them.

you can start by slowly distancing yourself and not answering to them at every joke, every call, every tweets, instagram, any social media means... just keep your distance in shaa Allah

and ask Allah to guide them and all of us too, ameen.

Aaw im sorry you have to go through such distress.

ukhti next time you help someone, if its for Allah's sake then expect help only from Allah.

if you help someone say for something specific, you can say to them, if I do this for you, you owe me... and then pull the "IOU" card out when you need it most.

this is what I do with my fam. When I help out for my creator's sake I dont expect anyone to help or give to me. When I need a favour, and I have helped them with the clear agreement of "you owe me" then I pull this card out.

it eases any resentment you may feel towards your friends/fam :)

i used to be one of them.. i would lose iman and pump it up again.. and advise people to do stuff that i dont do myself.. may Allah forgive me... all i did was basically ask friends what are my flaws.. fix those flaws and learn from peoples mistakes...

Re: A friend with hypocritical properties?

Jazakallah khair sis, I just wanted reassurance that distancing was the right thing. Obviously I need to replace these people and make new friends- any ideas where to find people? I'm going to the masjid for the first time this week inshallah, and I do lots of volunteering too. Anymore places? :)

jazakallah khair sister <3
