One of the main characteristics of Muslims is their way of speaking which is

compatible with the moral values of the Qur'an for their entire lives. Once they

have faith in God, they become purified from the negative features seen in the ma-

jority of people of ignorance. Thereby, this pure and blessed morality of believers

dominates their all attitudes and speech. Wherever they may be, they determine

how should they behave with their conscience according to the course of events,

what people need, the circumstances and conditions. Even if they encounter a case

they have never experienced before, they adopt the best attitude by listening to the

voice of their conscience and make the most felicitous speech.

As for hypocrites, they are deprived of Muslims' excellence in prudence and

foresight. Of course if they want, they can acquire skills in these positive attitudes

by seeing sincere Muslims. But since their main goal is slyly struggling against

Muslims, they don't feel the need of changing their hypocrisy. Since they do not

turn to God, the moral values of the Qur'an and conscience, they show evil and

negative attitudes instead of positive, lenient and pleasant ones. Similarly, they

prefer allegorical, allusive and snobby statements within their speeches instead

of being constructive, calming and irenical. They do not hesitate using rude,

sharp-tongued, discourteous, disgusting, quarrelsome, aggressive, insolent or

accusatory wordings. Among Muslims, they daftly adopt every disturbing and

rude attitude, which they have learned in the days of ignorance, and which are

not compatible with convenance and propriety.

While all the words of Muslims are pleasant and courteous, the impudent hyp-

ocrites' words are all repugnant and repellent. They are deprived of respect;

they are insolent, snobbish, blunt, rude, inconsiderate and tactless. They are

discourteous and impertinent as if they are unconscious. From all these features,

it is understood that they are 'people with sick, unbalanced and hypocrite souls'.

However one of the things that Muslims care mostly and make tiny distinctions

on is living for attaining God's approval with immaculate and pleasant moral values.

With being purified from crude minds, attitudes and the speech of the days of ig-

norance, they try to form an environment like heaven. Therefore as much as possible

they adopt a tactful, self-sacrificing, thoughtful, indulgent, forgiving, humble, easy-
going, modest, patient, eloquent, conciliatory, warm-hearted, reverential and friendly
manner to each other. Thus, there is a huge contrast between Muslims' outstanding
morality and hypocrites' negative attitudes. So it creates an important sign in order
