Muslims are people who are known for their 'positive, decent, refreshing

qualities' which is felt in the way they speak and behave. On the other hand, hyp-
ocrites are beings releasing 'negative energy' in their way of living and conduct. It
is possible to encounter this negativity in hypocrites in almost every speech they
make throughout the day.

Indeed, the way one speaks reflects the spiritual state of that person in the

clearest way. Beautiful words may only come from a beautiful soul and diseased
words could only come from a diseased soul. The way of speaking of hypocrites
reveals the anomaly in their soul. This is because hypocrites are always unhappy

and discontent and they always bear the inferiority and pain of having a diabolical,

hypocritical and treacherous character lifelong. This is obvious in their conversations.

They never take pleasure out of the beauties God creates, on the contrary, everything

they come across seem to give hypocrites trouble. Nothing makes them happy that

is why they keep on complaining, grunting out and finding fault in everything.

The common point in all their protestation is that they 'attempt to bring ac-

cusations against Muslims through putting them into difficult positions'. The

purpose of hypocrites is to give the impression that Muslims are 'supposedly bad

intentioned, unjust, tactless, ill-minded people with lack of conscience and who

are incapable of differentiating the good from the bad'. On the other hand, hyp-

ocrites intend for depicting themselves to be 'conscientious, just, capable of dis-

cerning the right from wrong, mindful and perceptive'. In line with their insidious

plan, hypocrites devise all sorts of lies, slander and false accusations against Muslims

and target them with their faultfinding.

For instance, hypocrites immediately look for flaws in a piece of clothing as

soon as they see it. They immediately say, 'this is not the fabric I want, since I

want it to be of higher quality' for a pair of trousers bought especially for themselves

and send it back. Or else, they may say, 'the color of this shirt has to be slightly

darker' and make others keep on looking for what they want. When they are given

a gift; they return, criticizing, 'This is not to my taste'. If they sit at a dinner table,
they make note of what is not on the table, rather than expressing blessings for

what is already there. Even though there is variety of dishes on the table, they find
something lacking in a flash and say, 'Why is so and so not here?' When they go
into a perfectly decorated room, instead of praising hundreds of beauties already
there, they focus on the imperfections no one would ever notice. There is a strong
negativity in words of hypocrites, as they always talk about imperfections whenever
