THEY ARE IN
DISCORD WITH ONE ANOTHER
They will not fight against you all together as a group except in
fortified towns or behind high walls. Their hostility towards each
other is intense. You consider them united but their hearts are
scattered wide. That is because they are people who do not use
their intellect. (Qur'an, 59:14)
THEY CANNOT ACHIEVE ANY OF THEIR AIMS
They have already tried to cause conflict before, and turned things
completely upside down for you, until the truth came and Allah's
command prevailed even though they detested it. (Qur'an, 9:48)
ALLAH CERTAINLY EXPOSES THEIR STATE
Or did those with sickness in their hearts imagine that Allah would
not expose their malevolence? (Qur'an, 47:29)
What assailed you on the day the two armies met was by Allah's
permission, so that He would know the believers, and so that He
would know the hypocrites. They were told, 'Come and fight in the
Way of Allah or at least help defend us.' They said, 'If we knew how
to fight, we would certainly follow you.' They were closer to
disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what
was not in their hearts. And Allah knows best what they are hiding.
(Qur'an, 3:166-167)
ALLAH DISGRACES THEM IN THIS WORLD
Fight them! Allah will punish them at your hands, and disgrace
them and help you against them, and heal the hearts of those who
believe. (Qur'an, 9:14)

THEY DO NOT LEARN
FROM WHAT BEFALLS THEM
Do they not see that they are tried once or twice in every year?
But still they do not turn back. They do not pay heed. (Qur'an,
9:126)
