THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

Those whose eyes were blind to My remembrance and who could not bear
to listen [to it]. (Surat al-Kahf, 101)

This is because the verses of the Qur'an simply touch them like burning fire.
The Divine nature and meaning of the verses inwardly burns the satanic world of
hypocrites. As the verses of the Qur'an disclose the secrets of hypocrisy to Muslims,
hypocrites' secret plans and tactics are all uncovered. The fear of knowing that
facing a verse, or an explanation of the verse will reveal their true colors any
moment puts a restless, insidious, dark and crawly expression in hypocrites'
eyes. In the Qur'an, God reveals their condition as follows:

Those who are unbelievers all but strike you down with their evil looks

when they hear the Reminder... (Surat al-Qalam, 51)

For this reason, when hypocrites are invited to live by the moral values of the

Qur'an, they can't bear even to hear it. They wish to block any advice or reminder

made by Muslims, by giving evil looks, displaying an aggressive, hostile and rebellious

attitude, raising their voices, denying the statements or even slandering Muslims.

One of the things hypocrites regard with disfavor the most is being given
advice and being admonished. This offends their lower-self the most. When the
advice comes from Muslims, whom they secretly hate, they explode with anger.
With an insane and uncontrolled instinct of self-defense, they use every means
possible in order to justify themselves and look flawless. They madly stand up for
their fake -and imaginary- reputation, and try to protect their image of being per-
fect and superior to everyone else, and try to prevent any harm to their claim of
superiority. Some of the counterattack methods applied by hypocrites are; telling
lies, slander, trying to prove others wrong, making perverted comments on the
verses of the Qur'an, trying to justify themselves by using a snobbish and arrogant
language, crying and playing the victim or trying to halt others' talk and create
a threatening atmosphere. In the Qur'an, God reveals that in the face of the calls
made by Muslims and messengers who are in charge of communicating the message
of God, hypocrites are so blinded by anger that they can even dare to kill them:
… Why then, whenever a Messenger came to you with something your lower
selves did not desire, did you grow arrogant, and deny some of them and
murder others? (Surat al-Baqara, 87)
