Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fireإِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
[An-Nisa 4:145]
?

Answer:
Generally, among the hypocrites until the Hour stands. Say: Whoever displays Islam outwardly while concealing kufr (disbelief) inwardly is
in the lowest depths of the Fireفِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
[An-Nisa 4:145]
. As for the one who possesses one of the characteristics of the hypocrites but is a believer, his faith is deficient. That is, there is a difference between major, creedal hypocrisy and practical hypocrisy. Practical hypocrisy may occur in a believer; he may be arrogant, he may be deceitful, or he may exhibit some of the characteristics of the hypocrites. He must repent to Allah for that. This is practical hypocrisy. As for creedal hypocrisy, it never occurs in a Muslim; it is only from the disbelievers. Yes.
