THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

They act in line with 'a thorough strategic plan' to make use of the resources
of Muslims as much as possible. They take care to make acquaintances with all the
local and foreign connections of Muslims, try to be close with them. Sometimes
they make up some pretexts to directly ask for their contact details, and sometimes
secretly try to get 'their e-mail addresses, phone numbers or social media accounts'
from the laptops, phones or tablets of Muslims. Then, coming up with various lies,
they seek to cut the ties of Muslims with these people, so that they can later secretly
remain in touch with them personally. For instance, about a devout, conscientious
person, who fears God and loves Muslims, hypocrites will tell evil lies to Muslims
and say: "This person is known as a very dishonest, unreliable person. He is also
averse to Muslims. You better not be friends with him, don't speak to him again
otherwise he might harm you." Hypocrites spread these lies because they wish to
disturb the alliance of good people, and use that person for their own personal in-
terests.
'Technology' that Muslims use to communicate the beautiful message of Islam
is yet another tool that hypocrites use to contact the unbelievers. Hypocrites desire
to benefit from such resources and means of Muslims as much as possible. They
seek to take advantage of the benevolence and conscientious nature of the Muslims.
For instance a hypocrite might say that his phone broke down, he is in a difficult
position because of that, that he wouldn't be able to call anyone if he got ill or
something happened to him. Then he implies that he needs a new phone with
state of the art technology. He is perfectly aware that Muslims will feel responsible

and definitely help him using whatever means they have. For this reason, he puts
particular emphasis on the lie that 'he would be desperate if something happened
to him'. Finally, he gets 'a state-of-the-art phone that is the best on the market',
which he believes he achieved through his scheming. However, Muslims can perfectly
see through the lies of the hypocrite, but they still provide him with this opportunity

he wants, hoping that it will be the best thing to do in their constant quest to earn

God's pleasure, and continue to carefully watch the schemes of the hypocrite.

Surely, the hypocrites don't stop there. Using his new phone, he takes action to
'make speedier, stronger connections with the unbelievers. Over this phone that

he attained by the resources of the Muslims, he provides 'intelligence' to unbelievers
about the Muslims. He cooperates with them against the Muslims, using this phone,
and concocts evil plans against them.

As hypocrites see the rich resources of the Muslims, they step up their demonic
games. Sometimes they seek to obtain these resources, even if they are of no personal

benefit to them, merely 'to support and get in the good graces of the unbelievers'.
For instance, the 'faith-related, cultural or scientific researches' Muslims make in
order to communicate the beautiful message of Islam and the morality of the Qur'an,
