Page 155 - The Profound Darkness of the Hypocrite

Both aging and death are laws that God created in worldly life. Up until
today, no one has ever managed to stay young, no one could be able to prevent
aging. Likewise, no one in the history of the world has been able to postpone
death. Death will certainly find everyone and also the hypocrite will not be able to
resist this truth when the time God desires will come.
Every struggle hypocrites go through on this way will increase their despair
and fear and it won't preserve them from getting ill, old or dying.

Hypocrites don't have noble and high ideals as Muslims. Their purpose of life

is only directed to 'themselves'. They are only after surviving and getting maximum

benefit. Procuring best opportunities is the most vital for them just as being able to

live well, eating nice food, sleeping well, wearing best clothes are. The brief summary

of hypocrites' life philosophy is 'gaining reputation in worldly life, owning property

and money, having a high position, climbing to good places and getting the best

share from the opportunities of life'. Besides, their main mentality is of course

gaining all these totally 'for free' without any effort in their opinion with im-

posture, insidiousness, and vigilance.

In order to practice this philosophy, which is based on imposture, Muslims

have crucial and vital opportunities for hypocrites because, before anything else

Muslims are conscientious. They have good morals and they are wise, careful,

skillful, talented, hardworking, and honest. It is not possible for hypocrites to

find that much vital and crucial characteristics together in any other place. Moreover

with combination of all these features, it is clear that hypocrites can reach much

more faster and easier to the opportunities that they covetously desired such as;

position, rank, property, wealth, reputation, and circles.

Therefore, hypocrites base their plans for being with Muslims on this phi-

losophy. Otherwise, it would not be possible for hypocrites who don't have a sincere

faith and who don't want to make efforts for attaining God's approval to be with

Muslims who dedicate all their lives and possessions to the path of God. Hypocrites

who don't want to tucker their minds or bodies out for anything that will not give

them financial and tangible return, will never accept making an effort like sincere

Muslims.

After hypocrites get a foothold among Muslims with the direction of their

plans, they try to benefit from Muslims' opportunities financially and spiritually.
