But hypocrites lack the ability to estimate that their lies would be easily recognized.
They don't think that Muslims would easily notice their sly games. They try to mis-
lead Muslims by saying things like "You don't need to hand out books, or hold
conferences in that area; that place is already religious. It would be better to
hold conferences in so-and-so city. It is people there who do not know much
about Islam." And they are quite persistent in their ill-advises.
Hypocrites have many other similar plots. Whenever there is an issue of use
and benefit to Islam and Muslims, they seek to 'mislead Muslims' with the pretense
of giving information. Or else, as a second method, they 'seek to distract Muslims
in order to prevent them from focusing on a certain important point. Instead,
they try to attract their attention to a number of different points, and weaken
the effect that would otherwise be achieved in a single point'.
In such cases, Muslims never follow the advises of the hypocrites. Remembering
God's command of 'not obeying the hypocrites', they know that hypocrites always
have a demonic, ulterior motive and therefore act carefully. Muslims know that
hypocrites always have a treacherous plan with their advises and try to mislead
them. Therefore they are always suspicious of what hypocrites say. Indeed, when
they do check the information provided by the hypocrites, they see that 'the infor-
mation given by the hypocrites is nothing but a trap, always in favor of the un-
believers and always against the Muslims'.
"The beacon of satan will illuminate the darkness at your destination" (Mason
Dergisi [The Masonic Journal], vol.29, p.23) clearly describes the traps of the hyp-
ocrites acting with inspiration from satan. The right thing to do is not going to the
direction where the beacon illuminates, but turn to the other way instead. This is
the way to foil the traps of the hypocrites.

ADNAN OKTAR: For example, when you talk about

the British deep state a hypocrite might say, "It is
the Egyptian deep state, they are the real danger
in the Islamic world. Should we evaluate the two
together?" This is a very sly game of the hypocrites.
By saying 'the British deep state and the Egyptian
Deep State', the power is divided. The hypocrite

distracts the attention from the real target. If the

hypocrites say black, it's white and vice versa.

One should be very vigilant about the hypocrites.
They are treacherous and insidious. (A9 TV, Feb-
