the 'morality of sincere respect and treating with honor' which is the indicator of
this love. Their impertinent, thoughtless, discourteous, insincere and imposter at-
titudes and manners manifest itself immediately in the places where our Prophet
(pbuh), the messengers of God or spiritual leaders of Muslims are.
However they try to do all these under-handed 'with sneaky and indemon-
strable methods' as best as one can. They clearly know that if they were to show
inappropriate immoralities overtly and explicitly, Muslims would collaborate and
come out against it in a serious way. Therefore they adroitly do their secret im-
moralities as if they are doing these 'erroneously, without noticing, due to lack of
experience or unknowingly'. For instance, when the the spiritual leader of Mus-
lims elucidates something erudite and important, they want to interrupt him
and show their own knowledge. For this purpose they persistently interrupt his
speech as if it is happening erroneously. After every new speech, hypocrites try to
prove that they know that subject way much better than the spiritual leader of
Muslims. Or they pretend to share some reasonable information but actually they
want to emphasize that the other the spiritual leader knows wrong and talks in-
exact. They make non-erudite and unnecessary speeches for hours gauchely,
tactlessly and in a way that not letting the main person talk. By this way they con-
tinuously try to abuse these blessed people's kindness and good morality.
Certainly, all these morality disorders they deliberately adopt depends on
deviant and evil logic. Hypocrites don't believe that prophets and messengers are
superior than them, chosen by God, bedecked with a special wisdom, or erudite
and knowledgeable. Hypocrites do not also accept that they have higher conscience,
superior morals and are blessed people just as they don't believe the same for all
Muslims. Even hypocrites see themselves superior than prophets, saintly believers
and leader of Muslims by means of their intellect, intelligence, knowledge, and
experience. In the Qur'an, this deviant befooling of hypocrites is described in the
story of Saul as follows:

Their Prophet said to them, 'God has appointed Saul to be your king.' They

said, 'How can he have kingship over us when we have much more right to
kingship than he does? He has not even got much wealth!' He said, 'God has

chosen him over you and favored him greatly in knowledge and physical

strength. God gives kingship to anyone He wills. God is All-Encompassing,

All-Knowing.' (Surat al-Baqara, 247)

At that time, God revealed to believers that 'Saul was chosen as a leader' but

hypocrite characters in that era claimed that 'they are more appropriate for kingship

and leadership' with assertions based on ignorant calculations. They advocated
