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
