THEY SELDOM REMEMBER ALLAH
The hypocrites think they deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them.
When they get up to pray, they get up lazily, showing off to people,
and only remembering Allah a very little. (Qur'an, 4:142)
Satan has gained mastery over them and made them forget the
remembrance of Allah. Such people are the party of satan. No
indeed! It is the party of satan who are the losers. (Qur'an, 58:19)

THEY ARE AVERSE TO
WHAT PLEASES ALLAH
That is because they followed what angers Allah and hated what
is pleasing to Him. So He made their actions come to nothing.
(Qur'an, 47:28)
Those who were left behind were glad to stay behind the
Messenger of Allah. They did not want to strive with their wealth
and themselves in the Way of Allah. They said, 'Do not go out to
fight in the heat.' Say: 'The Fire of Hell is much hotter, if they only
understood.' (Qur'an, 9:81)

THEY COME TO PRAYER RELUCTANTLY
Nothing prevents what they give from being accepted from them
but the fact that they have rejected Allah and His Messenger, and
that they only come to prayer lethargically, and that they only
give reluctantly. (Qur'an, 9:54)
The hypocrites think they deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them.
When they get up to pray, they get up lazily, showing off to people,
and only remembering Allah a very little. (Qur'an, 4:142)

THEY WORSHIP IN ORDER TO SHOW OFF
And also for those who spend their wealth to show off to people,
not believing in Allah and the Last Day. Anyone who has made
satan his comrade, what an evil comrade he is! (Qur'an, 4:38)
