THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

transferring it to their irreligious friends, they can't find anything except good-
ness, beauty and effort for beneficial activities. Thus, all they can do is transferring
the information of and trying to prevent beneficial activities that are carried out to
spread the good morals of Islam.
As hypocrites carry out their evil deeds, they never consider the fact that
God is All-Aware of all their ploys and watches over Muslims with His infinite
power. While Muslims enjoy the support of an Infinite Wisdom and Power that
knows of people's every evil intention down to the smallest detail; it is impossible
for hypocrites, who are poor creatures that have no individual power independent
from God, to succeed with their feeble minds that are under the control of God
as well.

Today, one of the means those who are inclined towards hypocrisy make most
use of to be able to pursue their secret activities is 'the social media platforms'.
However, hypocrites loathe introducing themselves on these Internet pages,
which allows people to reach almost everyone with ease, as a pious person who
loves God, abides by the Qur'an, and is a friend of Muslims. On the contrary,
they seek to use these platforms to earn the appreciation of unbelievers, to
attract their attention and form intimate friendships with them to reap personal
profits.
Thus, either in the profile information on their pages, in their followers
lists, or in the posts they share, they pay particular attention to feature content
that will help them earn the appreciation of unbelievers. As God informs us in

this verse of the Qur'an, saying, "You see many of them taking those who are un-

believers as their friends…" (Surat al-Ma'ida, 80), their sole purpose is to be able
to 'form close friendships with these people who promote all sorts of deviancies
and to win their favor'.
Hypocrites use such Internet platforms to be able to establish close relations
with the people from among the irreligious and then take advantage of their posi-
tions, status, contacts, businesses and prospects for financial gain as much as
possible. To that end, hypocrites try to make acquaintances with the people from
among the irreligious who seem reputable and prestigious through messages.
And in time, they become close friends with these people and chat with them
for hours on end. In the case that their intimacy with unbelievers draws the
attention of the Muslims and they are asked about it, they already have an answer
