THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE


                hypocrites, because, under these circumstances, they cannot escape from the in-
                formation they try hard to avoid; and they have to reluctantly read about all
                kinds of religious subjects they loathe to see or hear about.
                    And the solution hypocrites come up with for this is to 'gradually and slyly
                unfriend or unfollow the Muslims on their friend list.' Sometimes they are not
                content with this and due to their anger, they 'block' Muslims' accounts. However,
                in case what they do is noticed or attracts attention, hypocrites also have evil excuses
                they have prepared in advance for such situations. They either claim that a glitch
                in the system of the Internet automatically removed these people from friends
                without any interference on their part; or they try to defend themselves by strik-
                ing back claiming it is the other side who has unfriended them. However, although
                such allegations are lies, since it is technically impossible to refute them, hypocrites
                manage to fulfill their insidious schemes.
                    One of the reasons hypocrites do not want any Muslims on their friend lists
                is that they do not want to give their friends among unbelievers the impression
                that they are on Muslims' side. When people take a look at their followers' lists
                thinking "I wonder whom does this person follow?" hypocrites want them 'to see
                the prominent individuals from unbelievers that they can use to show off to
                their unbeliever friends.' Hypocrites want to show that, if the number of the Mus-
                lims and unbelievers on their followers' lists are to be compared, the number of the
                Muslims is only a handful while unbelievers are on the majority.
                    Muslims are surely aware of such schemes of hypocrites and what they try to
                accomplish through them. However, it should not be forgotten that by not sharing
                posts about Islam, hypocrites can never prevent Islam from spreading and people
                from flocking into the good moral values of the Qur'an in multitudes.
                    This attitude of hypocrites reminds us of an ostrich with its head buried in
                the sand. Through such ploys, hypocrites only succeed in preventing themselves
                from seeing the spread of Islam. But on the other hand, through genuine efforts
                of the Muslims and by means of the posts they share, tens of thousands of people
                see through the schemes of unbelievers and hypocrites, and begin to abide by
                the tenets of Islam.

                    The Internet is one of the greatest blessings that God creates in the End
                Times. Social media is a very favorable tool for elucidating the beauties of the
                moral values of the Qur'an, making new friends, spreading Muslim morality to
