who do not want to leave simply because they do not want to stop these insidious
activities feel relieved when they think that they can continue these activities when
they join the unbelievers.
Hypocrites firmly believe that they can realize these foolish dreams. That is
because the hypocrites imagine that the order God ordained would certainly be
defeated one day (God is surely above the thought). They regard Muslims as weak
and powerless. Consequently, they believe that the unbelievers will definitely be
victorious sooner or later. This belief among hypocrites is a profound desire and a
passionate yearning, just like Muslims awaiting the dominion of Islamic morality.
They fiercely believe that the proponents of satan will be victorious. That is why
they never put their trust in God, Islam or Muslims. They expect that Muslims will
definitely be defeated.
These dreams of hypocrites, however, are merely a deception. The system
of the unbelievers and satan is doomed to be defeated. It is God Who creates
satan, the unbelievers and the hypocrites. He alone has the power to destroy them
the moment He wills so. God only allows them for a certain amount of time. In the
event that they use this time to their detriment, a bitter punishment awaits them
both in this world and in the next.
In a verse of the Qur'an, God says "...God will not give the unbelievers any
path against the Muslims." (Surat an-Nisa', 141) This is what God has promised
and God is the One Who never breaks His promises.
