ADNAN OKTAR: The hypocrites use love for their filthy, vile ambitions. Not that

they need love, they merely use love as a means for dissension, aggression
and vileness. For instance also in the Story of Cain and Abel, see that Cain
nurses grievance to God –may God forbid – because He loves his brother more
and he kills his brother for that reason. Do you see the hatred here? Do you see
how he is jealous of love and how ignominiously he approaches? This is
explicitly explained in the Story of Cain and Abel. This is one of those matters

the hypocrites dwell on the most; they claim that 'they are not loved enough

and thus are not appreciated properly' and they use this claim in their aggression.
Look, in the Story of Cain and Abel, he commits murder simply because his
brother is loved more. See how fierce a hypocrite can be. May God forbid- be-
cause of his grievance against God, he says "why do You not love me more?"
But that is not because of his desire to be loved by God, but merely because of
his pride, arrogance and egocentricity. The jealousy of the hypocrites does not
stem from their demand to be loved. It stems from their feeling of rivalry, their
feeling of being superior, not because they want to be loved. For instance

when they attempted to martyr the Prophet Joseph (pbuh), they say, 'Our

father loves our brother more than he loves us.' That is not because they need

love but because of
their feeling of rivalry
and claim of superiority.
When their father loves
them less, they feel in-
ferior. When he loves
their brother more, but

them less, they see their

brother in a higher po-

sition and themselves
inferior. Since that hurts
their egocentricity and
their arrogance, they
attempt to kill their
brother with that rage.
Also in the Story of Cain

and Abel, that ignominious one martyrs his brother using love as a pretext. The

hypocrites stoop to every kind of ignominy, every kind of aggression using love

as a pretext. They carry out every kind of ignominy attaching it to this sacred,

beautiful feeling. This is the material they use in their ignominy. Love is merely a
means for them to use, merely a material. Or else love has no meaning for
rd
them. (A9 TV, January 23 , 2016)
