they always have plans A, B and C ready in their minds in order not to get

caught unprepared. Using their evil theatrics, they mobilize their plans in order

according to the situation and circumstances.
There is one more method the hypocrites use to escape when all their plans

have run out and when they realize that they have been caught: giving the impression

that 'they are completely out of control and unpredictable'.
To be convincing, they first start by causing disturbance out of an invalid
excuse. They reinforce it with disturbing facial expressions, language and tone of
voice. They give the impression that they are having a nervous breakdown. This
is a part of the plan to convince everyone that 'they have begun to lose control'.

They thus try to make Muslims 'uncomfortable and uneasy', implying that they

are capable of hurting themselves or the Muslims any moment. Their true intention

is taking advantage of the calming demeanor and good intentions of the Muslims

and using this disturbed appearance as a leverage, so that they can 'drive a bargain'
in return for turning back to their normal behavior. With this play, hypocrites
display their 'surprising talent at acting', skillfully complete their play like they
are on stage. And after acting that scene, they present their conditions to calm
down.
Muslims though, are perfectly aware of their acts, as well as their detailed,
multi-tiered plans of A, B and C. And they never allow the atmosphere of tension
and unease to build, which is what the hypocrites sought in the first place. They al-
ways talk in a reconciling and calming tone, and make sure that things develop in
the best interests of Islam.

Muslims approach with fine manners to anyone among them that claims to
be a Muslim and acts like one and give them the benefit of the doubt. Even if

they see an abundance of signs of a hypocritical character on a person, they do

their best to save him from satan's influence and lead him to sincere faith and good

morals. For this reason, they never say to anyone "you are a hypocrite," or "you're

acting like this for hypocritical reasons," even if they have doubts that they might

be. They respond to their even the most evident devilish acts using their reason

and conscience and in line with the Qur'anic morality.

Surely enough, even if Muslims act with good manners to those people who

display many characteristics of the hypocrites in their character, behaviors and
