THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

fluential and successful these people are in elucidating the Islamic morality,
dispelling the intellectual foundations of irreligiousness globally and especially
opposing hypocrites in the Islamic world'. That is why hypocrites choose them as
their main targets. These sacred people's existence is a crucial threat for hypocrites'
irreligious allies. Hypocrites are aware that these pious people have the wisdom,
insight and foresight to notice their secret cooperation with the unbelievers and
thwart their sneaky plans. In order to protect their evil system, they look for ways
to rupture these peoples' influence. And for this, almost in all subjects they try to
put up a slanderous fight against these people. They sometimes make hidden or

open implications, and sometimes explicit accusations.

In the Qur'an, this immorality of hypocrites is explained in the words; "the
men and women of hypocrites who think bad thoughts':
And so that He might punish the men and women of hypocrites and the
men and women of the idolaters –those who think bad thoughts about God.
They will suffer an evil turn of fate. God is angry with them, and has cursed
them and prepared hell for them. What an evil destination! (Surat al-Fath,

Hypocrites' devilish brains are sharp and they are very inventive in lying.

'Making up a lie from scratch, enriching it and detailing it with dozens of fake

evidences' are all very easy for hypocrites. They can instantly 'write a tall-tale sce-

nario' and cast aspersions on Muslims with a totally unreal lie. For this purpose,

they especially use 'the past' as evidence. They think that people may forget events

in the past as time passes by, and details of events may become blurry. In line with

this idea, they narrate untruthful stories from the past. This is just an effort to

'create a negative public opinion' among Muslims of targeted messengers or Mus-

lims' spiritual leaders. They think that they will be able to bolster up their current

slander by showing as evidence some past incidents, which are all lies, such as "In
the past, something happened like that in that place, and some other time some-

thing happened like that.''

However, Muslims are 'intelligent and attentive' people. Especially 'they are

very meticulous in protecting their spiritual leader' who they value much and

consider to be superior in piety. Thus, hypocrites' slanderous efforts to 'defame'

and 'create a negative public opinion' by showing evidence from the past don't

work on Muslims. On the contrary, it makes Muslims see their evilness and thus

enable them to clearly diagnose their hypocrisy and be careful against them. Besides,

they also know that 'it is a sign of believers to be slandered'. Therefore, every
