Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Why was this surah named Surat al-Munafiqun? Why are the hypocrites in the lowest level of the Fire? And does hypocrisy exist among people until the Day of Judgment?

Answer:
The surah is called Surat al-Munafiqun (The Hypocrites) because Allah mentioned the characteristics and deeds of the hypocrites in it. It is named so because it mentions the characteristics and deeds of the hypocrites, and therefore it is called Surat al-Munafiqun. Hypocrisy will remain until the Hour occurs.

[Al-Baqarah 2:9]
faith and conceal disbelief. This is unlike the original disbelievers, for they did not deceive; they displayed their disbelief openly and did not claim faith. They displayed their disbelief openly and did not claim faith. So the crime of the hypocrite is more severe than the crime of the disbeliever, and the punishment of the hypocrite is more severe than the punishment of the disbeliever.
