THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

commandments of God, living in accordance with the moral values of the Qur'an
and serving Islam. On the other hand, they immediately carry out the orders of
satan with great enthusiasm. When satan induces them to cooperate with its
friends, without hesitation, they contact unbelievers. In a verse, God reveals the
fact that every sly whisper and sinister scheme hypocrites plan with unbelievers ac-
tually originates from satan, meaning they do it 'under orders from satan':
Conferring in secret is from satan, to cause grief to those who have faith;
but it cannot harm them at all, unless by God's permission. So let the believers
put their trust in God. (Surat al-Mujadala, 10)
In another verse, God informs us that in hell, satan says: "I had no authority

over you, except that I called you and you responded to me." to hypocrites who

followed it in this world. This too shows us that 'hypocrites are actually acting

under the influence and instructions of satan':

When the affair is decided satan will say: 'God made you a promise, a
promise of truth, and I made you a promise but broke my promise. I had
no authority over you, except that I called you and you responded to me.
Do not, therefore, blame me but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your
aid nor you to mine. I reject the way you associated me with God before.'
The wrongdoers will have a painful punishment. (Surah Abraham, 22)

By secretly communicating with unbelievers and banding together with them

against Muslims, hypocrites think they can harm those who have faith. However,

they are unaware of the infinite power and command God has over everything. In

the last part of the verse above (Surat al-Mujadala, 10), God informs us that -unless

by God's permission- 'hypocrites cannot harm Muslims at all.'

ADNAN OKTAR: In Surat al-An'am, verse 121,
I seek refugee in God from the accursed sa-
tan, "...The satans", meaning hypocrites, and

army of satan, "inspire their friends to dispute
with you", to dispute with Muslims, to harass
them, disturb them, unsettle them, to some-
how drag them into suffering and pain. See
that this is in concealment. How do hyp-
ocrites do this in our era? Via the Internet
and telephone. It is the most effective way
to do it in our century. (A9 TV, January 26 ,
