THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

On the other hand, hypocrites always harp on evil ideas, logic that is in-
compatible with the Qur'an, irreligious talks, negative and ugly words, imperti-
nences and vileness since their hearts are always with satan.
Satan makes use of hypocrites in this way to cause uneasiness, unrest, commo-
tion and disturbance among Muslims; he verbalizes his own philosophy from their
mouths. However, this only turns against the hypocrite and the only one who gets
hurt from this is the hypocrite himself. Vicious thoughts that their negative, evil
world and dark mind produce hassles only hypocrites, themselves. As retribution
of living away from God's path, even though they are at a place together with
Muslims that is like heaven with all its spiritual and ostensible blessings, hypocrites
live a wailful, unhappy life as if they are already in hell.

Hypocrites who rarely remember God and carefully avoid places where God is
praised have another remarkable feature. Hypocrites deplore and suffer torment

from religious subjects while they astoundingly feel relieved as worldly matters

are discussed. While anything that reminds him of God, the hereafter, being con-

scientious and following moral values of the Qur'an is a nuisance for him, matters

that make him forget God and religion vivify him. A verse in the Qur'an describes

how hypocrites get relieved and freshen while subjects other than God are men-

tioned; "When God is mentioned on His own, the hearts of those who do not

believe in the hereafter shrink back shuddering, but when others apart from Him

are mentioned, they jump for joy.' (Surat az-Zumar, 45)

Although hypocrites tell they have faith in God with their tongue, they either

have a very weak faith in the hereafter or they do not believe at all. Therefore the

important thing for them is only the life in this world. Every detail of this life is

very important for them. World's leading countries, showy cities, people from

those places, most respected foreign languages, politicians, artists, writers of

prominent countries and the ideas they support are all crucial for hypocrites.

Even if they can't go to those places and don't know these people personally,

inquiring about them makes them very excited because hypocrites see all of these

as a part of their future. Indeed, what refreshes and revives them is the dream of

being respected worldwide, reaching an eminent office, coming together with those
