                In the Qur'an, the description of hypocrites are clearly defined and explained

            to the Muslims. However, in addition to this, in order to help people see how the

            teachings from the verses can be put into practice and how hypocrites are

            applying their evil morals into daily life, it is very important to give a 'description

            of hypocrites in everyday life'.

                Hypocrites terrorized the Islamic world for 1400 years and caused as much

            turmoil as they liked within Muslim societies because people 'didn't know the

            full description of hypocrites'. Since there has never been an in-depth analysis

            of hypocrites, Muslims have always 'had difficulty identifying hypocrites'.

            Since Muslims had difficulty pinpointing hypocrites, they were able to infiltrate

            everywhere, and easily obtained 'intelligence'. Indeed, throughout history, there

            have been times when some Muslims in some Islamic countries unknowingly

            followed the leadership of certain unstable individuals, simply because they were

            unable to notice the sickness those people had in their faith.

                So, in order to eliminate this threat, the entire Muslim world needs to fully

            comprehend the concept of hypocrisy, and they need to acquire a thorough and

            perfect understanding of the characteristics of these people. Once they obtain

            this information, they will be able to designate hypocrites on the spot, and

            thus they will be able to prevent the damage those people could cause in ad-

            vance. At the same time, the 'hypocrites will realize that they can be easily

            spotted,' and as a result they will either abandon their hypocrisy, or look for

            another hideaway.

                The most important weapon of hypocrites is their 'secrecy.' To this day, the

            biggest advantage of hypocrites was that they were using an unknown, inde-

            scribable system that people haven't yet recognized until now. Therefore, hyp-

            ocrites' tricks will cease to function as soon as they lose their secrecy. Hyp-

            ocrites are 'like bats'. They become miserable under the sun. They immediately

            start looking for places to escape. So, if Muslims illuminate hypocrites by shed-

            ding light on them, hypocrites won't have any place to run. Knowing that they

            will be spiritually be spotted and caught wherever they go, hypocrites will lose

            heart and come to a point, where they will no longer be able to scheme secretly.

                If the characteristics of hypocrites are not well known, they will be able to

            infiltrate Muslim communities, take advantage of the blessings of believers and

            continue living amongst them just like a 'virus'. Practically like a 'parasitic and

            freeloader virus', they will infiltrate the system of Muslims. On one hand,

            they appear as Muslims and take advantage of their assets, while on the other
                                                                                     21
