THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

vironment they are present. Since they are sick at heart, they can easily recognize

those who bare the same sickness in their hearts. As they are quite familiar with

disloyalty, cruelty, criminal cold-bloodedness; in short, the signs of hypocrisy, they

can immediately recognize another hypocrite. And they employ the aforementioned
'secret and ciphered signaling methods' on such individuals. Just like satan's

sneaking up to people, hypocrites, too, sneakily approach people with weak faith,

weak personalities and weak minds. At first, they make a tentative attempt to try

people out. For example, they cast aspersions on one of the individuals who Muslims

trust the most. If the person across them does not respond or object to this, hyp-
ocrites think that the person has taken the bait. Then they proceed to extend their

influence on that person. And, ultimately, they begin to communicate with these

people at will through facial expressions and secret, ciphered signals.

However, it should never be forgotten that as the nature of their creation,
hypocrites are always doomed to fail. No matter how much they struggle; resort
to as many secret and insidious methods as they want, hypocrites will always
end up defeated. They might derive some 'temporary personal benefits' via their

alliance they establish through these secret messages with their friends among un-

believers or other hypocrites. However, before long, everything they have achieved
will perish. Hypocrites will certainly appear before God forsaken and alone, and

account for all their evil-doings. And if they haven't repented and abandoned their
insidious perfidy before dying, they will suffer an eternal torment.
In the first verse of the Surat al-Humaza, saying, "Woe to every faultfinding

backbiter", God points out to the vileness of this signaling method, and what will

become of such people both in this world and in the hereafter.

ADNAN OKTAR: Hypocrites are experts at using
their facial expressions, their eyebrows, eyes, mouth
and nose all are in constant motion. They are quite
devious. I seek refuge in God from the accursed
satan, God reveals, "Those who did evil used to
laugh at those who had faith." (Surat al-Mutaffifin,
29) They make fun of the believers cunningly, be-

hind their backs. "When they passed by them, they
would wink at one another." (Surah al-Mutaffifin,
30) In other words, they communicate through
signs. For example, they use the signs of the Rumi's
philosophy. Or they interface through pictures or
symbols. For example, 'an open door' means 'run

away from there', or it symbolizes 'abandon Islam'.
Hypocrites use such secret languages among
themselves. (A9 TV, July 1 , 2016)
