emphasizing 'hypocrites' alliance with the antichrists under satan's command and
the world's deep states that are led by them'. The existence of such a circle of evil
clearly demonstrates that 'the evil activities are coordinated from a single center'
and that 'it is a large-scale organization'. In other words, there is a circle formed by
hypocrites working in collaboration with each other; and in the center of this circle
lies the members of the deep state. However, later in the verse, God heralds that 'this
circle of evil will surely collapse upon them'. Therefore, the chamber formed by
the leading unbeliever figures and hypocrites will, again, collapse on itself and the
system they have built will lead to their destruction. God is angry with those who
participate in this evil alliance, and has cursed them and prepared hell for them.

A AND THE MEMBERS OOF THE DDEEP STATE

With the verse of the Qur'an that reads, "...those who take unbelievers as pro-

tectors, rather than the believers..." (Surat an-Nisa', 139), God gives another crucial

piece of information regarding the characteristics of hypocrites. Even though these

people live among the Muslims and are treated with nothing but love, respect, benev-

olence, mercy and protection at every point in their lives, they still do not consider

the Muslims to be their true friends. They always look for errors in believers, accuse

and slander them, are discontented, ungrateful and complainant. The morality, atti-

tudes and way of behavior of hypocrites clearly display that 'they do not consider

Muslims as their trusted friends'. They have completely mysterious and enigmatic

personalities. And their exaggerated and artificial display of affection looks even

more suspicious. Even though no one else might have done them the favors they re-

ceived from the believers throughout their lives, they still conceal almost everything

about their lives from the believers.
While their attitude toward the Muslims is in this way, they feel more intimate
with individuals who do not have faith in or love for God, who are not concerned
with the good of Islam, or furthermore who hold animosity towards Islam. And
they easily confide in such people. Hypocritical people find it quite appealing to

have mindless chatters with, form intimate friendships with, and secure a place and

build a reputation among such people. Moreover, occasionally making remarks
and having conversation against God, the Qur'an, faith or Muslims give these
people an evil excitement.
Even when they are among believers, they secretly and insidiously look for ways
to get in touch and spend some time with these unbelieving people. Even though
Muslims treat them with unparalleled good morals, they still find their friendship

with unbelievers more exciting. And to be able to earn the appreciation of these
