THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

egocentricity, looking down on others because of what they possess, putting on
airs and aiming to come to the forefront is all they aspire after. In their twisted
minds, 'they aspire after ruling the world from their seats.' Again, all these are
dreams the hypocrites yearningly imagine that they would be living by when they
go join the unbelievers.
Yet another dream that they fantasize about is 'being able to embark on filthy
adventures in the evil world of the unbelievers.' Being in contact with dark and
dangerous people and doing dangerous things is what they dream of. That is
because hypocrites very much like getting involved in illegal acts, adventures, and
filthy, dangerous and risky business. They are adventurous. Demoniac adventures
are their indispensable ambitions. For instance, they go to the far end of the world
and work on new ignominious acts there. Or they flee a location and get caught in
another. The lives of the hypocrites go on groveling in such filth. And this dark,
filthy world is their yearning. This is the life they constantly look for, dream of and
make plans for.
They find the honest lives of Muslims to be very 'boring and abnormal'. 'A
troubled, dangerous and filthy life' is what hypocrites relish. That's why they
constantly try to make new friends and create new circles among unbelievers. They
try to make a hit with them, currying favor with them in their own twisted minds
just to ingratiate themselves in their favor. Since they are determined to go and join
them one day, they look for ways to keep them handy by ingratiating themselves
with the unbelievers. They keep everything ready just to be able to establish warm
connections with them the moment they go to them and say "Hello, I am no
longer in touch with them," in the future, when they do eventually decide to leave
the Muslims.
Hypocrites constantly live with this yearning to leave Muslims as soon as
possible and to go and join unbelievers. They imagine that they will only feel
relieved and happy when they go join the unbelievers. Since they will be alone with
satan and abandon all the acts of worship required by religion, they imagine in
their feeble minds that then they will 'find comfort'. The fact that they keep
dreaming about such a dark and filthy world even while they are living among
radiant Muslims clearly reveals the true face of hypocrisy.
Another dream of the hypocrites is to be able to continue with their struggle
against Muslims from afar, when they go join unbelievers. The very thought that
they could use the means of the unbelievers and be successful in their endeavors
against the Muslims puts them at ease. That is because an important reason they do
not immediately leave but remain with the Muslims is 'to harm them from the
inside and gradually render them powerless against unbelievers.' Hypocrites
