and the 'archives' they collect in order to use to this end arouse the attention of
hypocrites. They think that if they can pass that archive on to their associates
among the unbelievers, they will be able to gain their approval, maybe get a "well
done," and will be able to ask for something from them in the future. Having these
thoughts in mind, hypocrites try to somehow secretly get a hold of this data, even
though it will be of no personal use to them. They make up pretexts, which seem
reasonable, such as that "they will do something good for Islam and that they
need the data for this reason," or that "the archive is too disorderly and that he
is very experienced in sorting things." Later on, they pass on every bit of useful
information and document to their demonic acquaintances.
This insidious struggle that the hypocrites carry out amongst the Muslims, a
few examples for which struggle are given here, will continue until they find what
they have been looking for amongst the unbelievers. These evil games that they
have been playing amongst the Muslims will only serve to strengthen Muslims,
even though that was never their intentions. Muslims become more attentive as
they see the evil and sly aspects of the hypocrites, bond to each other more strongly
and progress with firmer steps. The possibility of having a hypocrite amongst them
prompts them to be more diligent and alert. As a result, by God's will, their power
and strength, as well as their achievements, increasingly grow further.

God gives a very important secret to the Muslims in the Qur'an in foiling the
plots of the hypocrites and advises them not to "follow their advises:"
O Prophet! Have fear of God and do not obey the unbelievers and hypocrites.

God is All-Knowing, All-Wise. Follow what has been revealed to you from

your Lord. God is aware of what you do. (Surat al-Ahzab, 1-2)

It is God Who creates everything and everyone, including the hypocrites and

satan, their leader: Therefore our Lord knows best the immorality, evil and wicked
character of these dishonest people. God describes the characters of hypocrites in

many verses of the Qur'an and shows the ways of 'depriving them of the ability to
hurt Muslims' by means of wisdom of faith.
One of the most significant games that hypocrites try to play on Muslims is

'misleading them with wrong information in an attempt to ambush them'. Hyp-
ocrites befriend the unbelievers and constantly provide them vital and accurate in-

telligence to make them stronger, but at the same intentionally provide misleading
information to Muslims in a bid to 'cause them fail'. This way, they try to protect
