THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

ADNAN OKTAR: Muslims constantly seek to do good.
They are always kind and warm-hearted. But, let's say, a
hypocrite came here now. He would immediately start
complaining about the chairs, the carpet, the garden,
anything. He would try to find flaws in everything. This is
a characteristic of the hypocrites: With a satanic instinct,
they don't give thanks or appreciate anything. The
hatred in their souls makes them anarchistic even towards any moment. This makes
the objects, they are angry with the objects. They don't t
like their own bodies, hands, faces, objects, flowers,
nothing. They find a flaw in everything. They are not
thankful. You know about the verse: "You will not find
most of them thankful." (Surat al-A'raf, 17). It's one of the
most typical qualities of the hypocrites: Not giving thanks.
Hypocrites don't know anything about giving thanks. They are not contented.
They won't say: "God created this so beautifully." Their satanic soul, evil soul
manifests itself at every moment. Let's say, if you offer him a delicious meal, he
won't like it. You give him a present, he won't like it. You say something, and he
won't like it. He'll dislike people he sees. This ungrateful soul is described in the
Qur'an as a characteristic of the hypocrites. "You will not find most of them
thankful." For instance, a believer says "Thank God," right? Let's say he is invited to
a nice meal. He says: "Thanks be to God, it's lovely." Even if he doesn't like the
taste, he is grateful for it, as he considers it as a blessing from God. Or he gets a
gift, and he says "It's beautiful." Believers always say, "it's beautiful, thanks be to
God, alhamdulillah, masha'Allah, insha'Allah." Hypocrites, on the other hand,
always reject, always find things repulsive. They don't like anything at all. They only
like themselves, but secretly. They hate people, but secretly adore themselves.
They want to live alone in their dark world. Satan is the same. There are trillions of
angels, he could have followed them if he wanted. But he alone rebelled against
God, he wanted to be alone. He accepted the eternal hell only to satisfy his
desire to feel superior, to feed his arrogance. His desire to be greater than God led
him to an insane and foul mentality. (A9 TV, June 3 , 2016)

unwillingly'. In a show of 'ingratitude and abject slander', they claim that Muslims,

who took care of them hinted and made them feel that this care-taking was done
unwillingly. They may even blatantly lie saying that they were not taken care of at
all, despite the presence of witnesses to the contrary. It is because hypocrites hate
Muslims. Their goal is 'to portray Muslims as supposedly cruel and loveless peo-

ple', 'to create an image of being victimized' and 'to set a supposedly legitimate
stage for their fresh wave of wickedness'.
The fact that hypocrites 'constantly seek to find flaws and try to accuse Mus-
lims for everything' despite being constantly showered with generosity and blessings
is a clear indication of their insincerity and ingratitude.
