THEY TRY TO SPREAD LIES
WHEN THEY ARE AMONG THE BELIEVERS
There is a group of you who propagated the lie. Do not suppose
it to be bad for you; rather it is good for you. Every one of them
will incur the evil he has earned and the one who took it on himself
to amplify it will receive a terrible punishment. Why, when you
heard it, did you not, as men and women of the believers,
instinctively think good thoughts and say, 'This is obviously a lie'?
(Qur'an, 24:11-12)
THEY WISH THOSE WHO BELIEVE
TO FALL INTO DIFFICULTIES
If something good happens to you, it galls them. If something bad
strikes you, they rejoice at it. But if you are steadfast and guard
against evil, their scheming will not harm you in any way. Allah
encompasses what they do. (Qur'an, 3:120)
THEY DO NOT WANT THE BELIEVERS
TO BECOME WEALTHY
They are the people who say, 'Do not spend on those who are with
the Messenger of Allah, so that they may go away.' The treasuries
of the heavens and earth belong to Allah. But the hypocrites do not
understand this. (Qur'an, 63:7)
THEY SET UP A LODGE TO CAUSE
HARM TO THE BELIEVERS
As for those who have set up a mosque, causing harm and out of
disbelief, to create division between the believers, and in readiness
for those who previously made war on Allah and His Messenger,
they will swear, 'We only desired the best.' But Allah bears witness
that they are truly liars. Do not ever stand in it. A mosque founded
on performing one's duty from the very first day has a greater
right for you to stand in it. In it there are men who love to purify
themselves. Allah loves those who purify themselves. (Qur'an,
9:107-108)
