THEY ARE UPSET WHEN
GOOD THINGS HAPPEN
TO THE BELIEVERS
If good happens to you it galls them. If a mishap occurs to you,
they say, 'We made our preparations in advance,' and they turn
away rejoicing. (Qur'an, 9:50)
THEY ASSEMBLE FURTIVELY
TO PLOT ENMITY AND REVOLT
AGAINST THE BELIEVERS
They try to conceal themselves from people, but they cannot
conceal themselves from Allah. He is with them when they spend
the night saying things which are not pleasing to Him. Allah
encompasses everything they do. (Qur'an, 4:108)
Do you not see those who were forbidden to confer together
secretly returning to the very thing they were forbidden to do,
and conferring together secretly in wrongdoing and enmity and
disobedience to the Messenger?And when they come to you they
greet you with words Allah has never used in greeting you, and
say to themselves 'Why does Allah not punish us for what we
say?' Hell will be enough for them! They will roast in it. What an
evil destination! (Qur'an, 58:8)
THEY TRY TO PLEASE THE BELIEVERS
WHILE THEY ARE WITH THEM
When the hypocrites come to you they say, 'We bear witness that
you are indeed the Messenger of Allah.'Allah knows that you are
indeed His Messenger and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites
are certainly liars. (Qur'an, 63:1)
They swear to you by Allah in order to please you, but it would
be more fitting for them to please Allah and His Messenger if they
are believers. (Qur'an, 9:62)
