such a person, towards the believers, and his relations with the
deviant circle around him is described as follows in the Qur'an:
"When they meet those who believe, they say: 'We be-
lieve' but when they are alone with their evil ones, they
say: 'We are really with you: we were only jesting.' Allah
will throw back their mockery on them, and give them
rope in their trespasses; so that they will wander like the
blind." (Surat Al-Baqara: 14-15)
In fact, citing examples against the Qur'an, insincere, preju-
diced, hostile approach towards Muslims and mocking behavior
are not unique attitude disorders special such people. People
who lived centuries before him and also opposed religious moral
values all resorted to the same mindless tactics. Throughout the
ages, the same mentality, methods and comparisons have contin-
ued to exist.. The mindset that knowingly resorts to these meth-
ods in order to cover up the truth has remained unchanged
down the ages and still persists today:
"On the contrary, they say things similar to what the an-
cients said." (Surat Al-Muminun: 81)
In addition, one group may seek to distort religion for the
sake of its own interests. The Qur'an issues this pronouncement
about such types who try to distort religion:
"What is the matter with you that you judge so ill?
Or have you a book through which you learn-that you
shall have, through it, whatever you choose?
Or have we sworn a covenant with you – binding till the
Day of Judgment, – that you shall have whatever you
shall demand?" (Surat Al-Qalam: 36-39)
