THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE
behavior' instead of kindness, love and respect. They try to stir up trouble by mis-
treating people, throwing tantrums, causing discomfort, and using offensive, threat-
ening tones and voices.
They make the mistake of thinking that they can get away with their evil be-
havior and that every evil act they do is a gain for them. However, each and every
evil thing they do is recorded in the Sight of God. No hypocrite that ever lived got
away with their nefarious deeds. Today, every hypocrite that targets Muslims and
tries to hurt them will be duly punished in the hereafter. They will not be able to
get away from the pain and punishment for eternity. God says in the Qur'an that
the hypocrites will be punished 'in the lowest level of the fire', and that 'there will
be no one to help them':
The hypocrites are in the lowest level of the Fire. You will not find any one
to help them. (Surat an-Nisa', 145)

Even if the hypocrites may be bodily in a large group of Muslims, they mentally
retreat into their shells. Since they cannot silence the anger, hatred and envy in
their souls, it is almost painful for them to be in the company of Muslims. That's
why they grow away from the Muslims over time. However, since they are like
'chameleons', capable of adapting to any situation at will, they may put on a show
of being cheerful and happy when they are with Muslims. Yet, to an observing eye,
it is clear that they are completely alone in their own, dark and friendless 'bubble
of a world.' Because they cannot feel love, respect, friendship or brotherhood, and
most importantly, because of their anger and jealousy towards Muslims, everything
Muslims do bother them. Especially, Muslims' love for one another, their close
bonds, even more than biological siblings have, the fact that they are constantly
happy with their faith in God, their wholehearted display of love and respect for
each other slowly eat hypocrites away. That's because hypocrites have a desire to
'be in the spotlight, at the center of attention' at all times.
Needless to say, Muslims direct their love and respect not towards such a being
with immoral tendencies, but to those, who, they believe to be the most pious, who
hold the highest moral virtues, and who are the most humble, gentle and honest. In
other words, hypocrites can't get the kind of respect they dream of from the
Muslims and this irritates them to no end. Because 'not being able to get an ego
boost the way they want, and being just another person in the Muslim commu-
nity' is one of the things that is the hardest on hypocrites.
