THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE


                    Shall I tell you upon whom the satans descend? They descend on every evil
                    liar. They give them [satans] a hearing and most of them are liars. (Surat
                    ash-Shu'ara', 221-223)

                    In case they get caught, hypocrites always have a series of excuses prepared

                in advance for each and every immorality and act they are engaged in against

                Muslims. They are convinced that, this way they will be able to conceal themselves

                all the time and prevent their lies from ever being exposed, if they are caught off

                guard.

                    The hypocrites possess 'devilish brains' but Muslims possess 'intelligence de-

                rived from faith' that can easily overcome the hypocrites' brains. Therefore, Muslims,

                in a way, 'play' with the scheming brains of the hypocrites. Needless to say, it is

                crucial that Muslims are very vigilant about the hypocrites. Furthermore dealing

                with the hypocrites is nothing short of dealing with the devil itself. And when Mus-

                lims defeat the hypocrites, by the will of God, they will be defeating the devil.

                    Using the evil inspirations from satan, hypocrites can act in a very sly manner.
                Since they covertly and sneakily carry out their evil deeds amongst the Muslims,
                they always live with the constant fear of being spotted by someone. For this reason,
                they continuously 'test the waters' and regularly 'check' if there is anyone suspicious
                of them. If they think that there is even the slightest possibility that it might be the

                case, they immediately adjust their behavior, speeches, actions to create the exact

                opposite image. Whenever they suspect that someone noticed them, they swiftly
                change colors 'just like a chameleon'.
                    One of the things that ring the alarm bells in a hypocrite's mind is when
                Muslims begin to bring up the hypocrites more in their conversations through

                articles, and documentary movies. This will automatically lead the hypocrites to

                think, "are they focusing on this topic so much because they suspect that there

                might be a hypocrite amongst them?". The thought makes them incredibly agitated.
                For that reason, they immediately cool down: They either slow down their evil acts
                or completely bring them to a halt for a while. However, they occasionally 'see how
                the land lies' to be sure if Muslims have any doubts about them or not.

                    However, this temporary halt in a hypocrite's behavior will never be taken

                at face value by Muslims because they know the reason why the hypocrites pretend

                to stop their stealthy acts, that 'this is only temporary and when an opportunity

                arises, they will do even worse'.
