THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

ADNAN OKTAR: "A well-known characteristic of

hypocrites is that they are good at sneaky infiltra-

tion. For example, they can slyly infiltrate Muslim
communities and no one notices when they come
or go or come back again as they can be as
sneaky as a snake. They are experts at gathering
intelligence. For example, they eavesdrop on

Muslims from behind doors. Furthermore, they do

not enter Muslims' houses through doors but

through windows. In a verse of the Qur'an, God
says 'Do not enter a house through the window',
since hypocrites do so in order to better gather in-
telligence. Because if they use the door, the
Prophet (pbuh) will notice them and act accord-

ingly. So what do hypocrites do? In order to be
able to eavesdrop on the Prophet (pbuh), they en-
ter his house through somewhere he expects the least, the window. As you know,
the windows of the era were Arabic style, elliptic. A person could easily pass
through them. Moreover, the windows of that era did not have glasses or frames.
They were only covered with a curtain. So hypocrites opened the curtain and
easily entered through the window. And when they were asked why they did so,

they said, 'There were many people at the door so I decided to take the shortcut

and entered through the window so that I can get to the Messenger of God more
easily.' Hypocrites are indeed treacherous. They are only concerned with finding
out what people say about them and constantly providing the irreligious with in-
telligence, rising in stature, and taking credit for any achievements." (A9 TV,

Our Prophet (pbuh) ensured the preservation of the verses that were revealed
to him by God by having his literate companions put them in writing. These indi-
viduals, whose numbers were around forty, were called 'Revelation Scribes'. How-
ever, the hadiths make mention of a hypocrite that came up to our Prophet
(pbuh) to become a revelation scribe yet whose true intention was to gather in-
telligence against the Prophet (pbuh).
Anas b. Malik (ra) reported: "There was a person amongst us who belonged
to the tribe of Bani Najjar and he recited Surat al-Baqara and Surah Al
'Imran and he used to transcribe for God's Messenger (pbuh). He ran away
as a rebel … They gave it much importance and said: 'He is the person who
