               All of these things spring from the hypocrites’ great fear
            of death. However, everyone will die at the appointed time,
            even if they are at home or in an impregnable fortress. For
            this reason, they will be thrown into the deepest place in
            Hell and will experience the most terrible pangs.
               Their argumentativeness comes from the fact that they
            follow satan and display his attributes:
               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. (Surat al-Mujadala: 19)
               We notice that it is characteristic of hypocrites not to
            praise Allah. As we said at the beginning, believers con-
            stantly praise Him and so do not give satan any opportuni-
            ty to assault them. In the Qur’an, Allah tells us that satan
            can exert no power over His faithful servants. Due to their
            relationship with satan, hypocrites do more than just reflect
            his character; they are a community that fulfills his com-
            mands:
               Those who believe fight in the Way of Allah. Those who
               do not believe fight in the way of false deities. So fight
               the friends of satan! Satan’s scheming is always fee-
               ble. (Surat an-Nisa’: 76)
               Allah has always removed the hypocrites from the
            Muslim community. He has forbidden them to join with the
            believers in the struggle against faithlessness because He
            knows that they would only spread arguments and divi-
            sion. In Surat at-Tawba 47, He tells us that those hypo-
            crites who go into battle with the believers will try to harm
