Page 57 - The Profound Darkness of the Hypocrite

A D N A N O K TA R ( H A R U N Y A H Y A )

So, in almost every platform, hypocrites draw upon 'such philosophical discourse
and intellectual arguments of the irreligious' so that they are regarded as one of
them. They share in their social media accounts images, sayings and movies
that promote such ideas. They give likes to the posts of those who are deemed 'ex-
perts' in these subjects amongst unbelievers and share quotes from such individuals
in their social media pages. Thus, they believe they have shed their 'monotonous

Muslim' image and by doing so they have 'earned a great prestige' among unbe-
lievers.
However, what is actually monotonous is the superstitious philosophies un-
believers and hypocrites abide by and the superficial lives they lead. Islam is the
true religion that teaches people how to most beautifully experience all the
beauties the life has to offer and how to be as happy as possible in this world.

When a Muslim lives by the morals of religion, he is perfectly able to make use of

the benefits of all the blessings in the world and take utmost delight in everything

they do, whereas the cold, dark, dull and unsettled character of unbelievers only

lead them to a path paved with unhappiness, unease and quandaries. This is just

the agony hypocrites and unbelievers go through in their worldly life. But in the

hereafter, they will suffer an eternal, unrelenting torment.

ADNAN OKTAR: Hypocrites consider Islam to
be monotonous – surely Islam is beyond this.
They prefer irreligion over Islam. For example,
a book about Islam or the Qur'an bores them.
But they like books written by unbelievers and

read them with pleasure. They abstain from

reading books about God, the Book or religion.
And they wouldn't tell people even if they do
as they consider it humiliating to do so. But
hypocrites like to read books or articles of un-
believers that are ambiguous and incompre-

hensible merely for the sake of snobbery and

they take credit for themselves from these kinds
of books. They consider reading such books to
be exalting their arrogance. Almighty God rep-
rimands unbelievers in a verse saying, "Do those
who take unbelievers as protectors, rather than

the believers, hope to find power and strength
with them?"Hypocrites always hope to find
power and honor with unbelievers. (A9 TV, June
