Hypocrites are people who've turned hypocrisy and insidiousness into a

lifestyle. They lead their lives among Muslims shamelessly, as if there is nothing

wrong, all the while secretly carrying out activities against Muslims. While smiling

at the faces of Muslims and making use of the means Muslims provide, their

beautiful and self-sacrificing morality, the safe environment they provide, their

incessant lenience and mercy, they sneakily devise plans to do the greatest harm to

them.

In their collaboration with the unbelievers, they constantly share information

to reach these goals, carry out consultations, set traps and make new plans. All

these actions are at the same time 'preparations for the new life the hypocrites

will start among unbelievers.' After they take their revenge from the Muslims

they hate and succeed in causing great harm to them, the only goal of the hypocrites

would be 'to make a new life for themselves among unbelievers.' The basic char-

acteristic of this new life they dream of is that it will be far away from God, the

Qur'an and Muslims. The hypocrites dream of a life distanced from religion with

their friends, among unbelievers, with the advocates of irreligiousness.

Every day they live among Muslims, hypocrites keep these plans in mind.

They will be ill at ease if they spend even a single day without thinking about them.

The more they can develop their plans and the closer they come to realizing them,

the more meaningful life will be for them. Hypocrites side with Muslims with their

tongues but they side with unbelievers in their hearts and dreams. That is why they

constantly make preparations to go and live among unbelievers.

Hypocrites always think about how they live when they one day go to

unbelievers. They do not like the discipline of Islam that beautifies one's heart

and soul. Performing daily prayers, fasting, giving alms and making pilgrimages

distress them (surely all the acts of worship mentioned in the Qur'an are above

such thoughts). They yearn for the day they will be saved from all these. Furthermore,

the hypocrites do not want to be clean but they desire to live in filth. For

example they find it difficult to be clean and well-groomed, and to bathe everyday.

They want to live in filth and infamy in that devilish life they take for freedom.

Being able to use drugs as they like, to engage in fornication, theft or immorality,

living in the pocket of evil people in bad environments are more appealing for

them. They want to live by that depravation to the fullest in the dark world of

unbelief. Hypocrites constantly dream of living in such a dark world.

Along with all these, their real dream is to be the 'greatest one'. Arrogance,
