                    H HYPOCRITES ARE TACTLESS AND DDISRESPECTFUL

                    Hypocrites are quickly noticed through their 'mean, tactless, disrespectful
                and negative attitudes'.  Unless they are in expectation of a great positive gain in
                their favor, hypocrites are hardly seen acting in a respectful manner. Otherwise,
                they want to disturb Muslims and cause disturbance by reflecting their corrupted
                morals to their speeches.

                    Inspired by satan, hypocrites are capable of using their intelligence quite cun-

                ningly. They actually know very well how to discern what is disrespectful, tactless

                and inconvenient. Since their aim is not to behave well, hypocrites never refrain

                from ill manners or make efforts for better conduct. They talk as carelessly as they

                wish, wherever and whenever they want considering that action as a display of

                'freedom'. Hypocrites never correct the way they speak as they only consider

                themselves to be important and worthy and do not care about how their attitudes

                would make an impact on others. As they really admire their own intellect and re-

                gard themselves to be flawless, hypocrites believe their way of speaking is 'humorous'

                as well as, 'perfect and witty'.

                    On the other hand, every statement that hypocrites make during daytime is

                'improper, thoughtless and rude' on every occasion.Instead of explaining a

                matter through positive wording, they talk about it in the most negative way

                with the most sarcastic words. During a chat, they always want to speak more

                than anyone all the time. Although there are no words of wisdom in their speeches

                and despite the fact they only waste the time of those listening to them with

                really empty agendas, hypocrites desire everyone to listen to them with great

                respect and attention.

                    Yet, when others speak, they 'do not follow the codes of listening'. They con-

                tinually interrupt the other person speaking. They speak without waiting for the

                other party to complete his sentences and start talking about themselves. In almost

                any speech, they say something cynical and try to imply something that is critical

                of others. They believe there would be no other person who could speak with more

                eloquence. Therefore, 'they always correct the words of others regardless of the

                addresser, and make an emphasis that others are at fault and cannot make the

                right pronunciation. In their opinion, they are the 'only ones who knows the best'

                and 'who realize the mistakes'.

                    Yet, the hypocrites' efforts to put themselves under the spotlight and boost

                their arrogance are all futile. Muslims never feel respect or admiration to ones

                who do not live by the morality in the Qur'an. No matter how they try to give an

                impression that they are very eloquent and knowledgeable, Muslims do not get im-

                pressed. On the contrary, Muslims notice the tactless, rude and disrespectful behavior
