ready for such questions beforehand. When they are asked why they are in touch
with such people, they respond with lies such as "I am trying to tell them about
Islam, this is why I take my time to talk with them". And when they are asked
"Why do you speak with them in an irreligious tone instead of a style that is be-
fitting of a Muslim?" this time they respond with another lie, claiming 'it is more
effective to speak with unbelievers in a tone they are familiar with'.
Whereas their actual aim is to become intimate and fit in with other people
who possess dark souls and are inclined towards disbelief, deviancy and hypocrisy.
They attempt to ingratiate with them in order to acquire an irreligious prestige
amongst them. They believe that, by doing so, they will secure their place among
these unbelievers in advance.
Here, we should remember that today a great majority of people use social
media platforms for purposes such as making friends and expanding job op-
portunities. And indeed this situation makes many people gain new friendships

and various benefits. However, hypocrites who use same methods have a different
agenda than all those people. Hypocrites aim to reinforce their alliance with
unbelievers and then organize conspiracy for the detriment of immaculate Mus-
lims who approach them honestly and with good moral values.
However, hypocrites have forgotten that God is the One Who creates all these
opportunities and has control over them. No matter how sneakily and disingenuously
they act, it is not possible for them to harm Muslims without God's will. As it is re-
ported with the verse, "My Protector is God Who sent down the Book. He protects
those who are upright.'' (Surat al-A'raf, 196), God 'is the protector of sincere
Muslims'.

Muslims try to make the most effective use of the means of social media,
where they can reach tens of thousands of people with a single post, for spreading
Islam. They continuously share on their social media accounts all sorts of articles,
images, videos and information that invite people to worship God, abide by the
moral values of the Qur'an, and become a sincere Muslim, in a way that will reach
the largest masses. And in their profiles, they definitely introduce themselves as
who they really are; 'sincere Muslims who love God profoundly'. In their posts,
they clearly emphasize how pious they are, how wholeheartedly they love God, and
how meticulous and enthusiastic they are in abiding by the moral values of the
Qur'an. And they support the activities of other Muslims on every social media
