THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

ADNAN OKTAR: The wife of the vizier claims that she
loves the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) a lot whereas in reality
she is full of grudge and hate. It is merely a fancy and
she only wants to satisfy her own pride and egocentricity.

The reason behind her desire to have intercourse with

him is to satisfy her own pride. The Prophet Joseph's
(pbuh) rejection and his being chaste offend her. She
tries to bring him to the same level with her own twisted
understanding of chastity. She wants to level him with
her own belief, with her own unbeliever mind and most
of all she wants to satisfy her wounded egocentricity

and pride because being rejected offends her heavily.
Since she is rejected, she wants to do away with that re-
jection with adultery. She harbors an immense resentment
towards the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). And see that in Surah Yusuf, Verse 32, it is
revealed that she says, '… If he does not do what I order him...' meaning if he
doesn't commit adultery, '... he will be put into prison ...' Do you see that? The first
thing she wants to do to a Muslim is to put him in prison. This is one of the primary
goals of the hypocrites; to put Muslims in prison.
And of course they do this by casting aspersions on him. '... and [he will be]
brought to low.' (Surah Yusuf, 32) They do the same thing through media in our
day, by having reports made against them in the press. In their own twisted mind,
they try to embarrass them. God shows us the goals of the hypocrites as well. This
is what hypocrites want for Muslims. This is what they always devise in their minds.
"If only they could have them imprisoned one day, if only they could humiliate
Muslims one day and if only they could flatter their own prides one day." This is all
the hypocrites are after. And in the way she approaches the Prophet Joseph
(pbuh), one would think that she loves him a lot, is that not right? Actually that is
not love at all. She is merely after satisfying her egocentricity and pride. She thinks

"how could he reject me, how could he not be seduced by me?" or "how could he
not like me or not be affected by me?" This is also an act she carries out to make a
splash in the eyes of others. But most of all, she does that for her own self; being re-
jected offends her pride immensely. There is a devastating pride of superiority in
hypocrites. In verse 206 of Surat al-Baqara, God says, "When he is told to fear God,
he is seized by pride which drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him!
What an evil resting-place!" What does being told to fear God mean? It means
they are told to live by Islam. But they are seized by pride. Their egocentricity be-
comes higher than their religion. They set religion aside, they put Islam aside; they
do not want Islam. "... drives him to wrongdoing." In other words, they start doing
everything that are against Islam. "... he is seized by pride..." meaning pride envelops
them all around. "Hell will be enough for him! What an evil resting-place!" Here
people see once and again why hell is necessary. (A9 TV, January 24 , 2016)
