On some occasions, to prevent the postings they have shared reluctantly out
of obligation for the good of Islam from standing out in their home page, they
resort to an evil method of sharing other posts to chronologically push that
post down on their profile pages so that no one can see it. After posting this,
they share images, articles, or videos on meaningless subjects, thus eliminating in
their own way the effect of that material about Islam. As another method, they
arrange their 'sharing settings' in the way that only their irreligious friends can
see; thereby they prevent Muslims from seeing their evil attempts and posts related
to such deviancy.
Another tactic hypocrites employ for this purpose is that 'in order not to be
exposed, they share a material about Islam on their page first to make sure that
Muslims see it; then, in a matter of a few hours, they secretly delete it from their
pages'. Even though they realize that everyone sees through their insidious tactic
and perceives the purpose behind it, they shamelessly continue to follow this
method, thinking they have managed to deceive Muslims.

Specifically refraining from introducing themselves as Muslims on social media
platforms and even feeling great discomfort from it, hypocrites despise coming
across any material that is associated with God and the good moral values of
the Qur'an when they turn on their computers, connect to the Internet, or look
at their social media accounts. However, hypocrites are very well aware of the fact
that around Muslims, they have to appear as one of them and introduce themselves
as pious. For hypocrites, this obligation is one of the most insufferable and displeasing
issues. But despite this, as they consider it mandatory, they are obliged to follow
and be followed by the Muslims around them on social media and accept the
'friendship requests' they send over the Internet on platforms such as Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram. However, this puts hypocrites in an even more insufferable
and complicated position. Because, as it is known, on the social media platforms
such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, all the posts shared by the people that
have been befriended or followed unavoidably appears on the 'home page' of
the other party. In that case, the individual has to see the posts shared by everyone
on their friend or 'followed' list. And since Muslims 'regularly spread Islam and
the moral values of the Qur'an, and tell the abnormal aspects of unbelievers
and hypocrites, hypocrites are constantly faced with such posts. And this infuriates
