Believers always think in favor of God and religion. Muslims cannot make an unfavorable analysis, but only favorable ones. They always assume the best [for God and believers]. But if a person is among disbelievers or is an atheist, he might think unfavorably about God and religion; however, after having faith in God, a believer cannot continue to do so. They should always give the benefit of the doubt and think positively.

Hypocrites cannot stand to listen to the Quran or the praise of God.

Dishonorable hypocrites regard the struggle in the name of God as foolishness. If they were to gain personal benefit, for example, if our Prophet (pbuh) offered each of them 5 or 10 pouches of gold, they would never say "Do not go out to fight in the heat." They would never utter "If we knew how to fight, we would certainly follow you." Or they would never say "We are sacrificing our lives for no reason." They would go crazy, they would become quite eager if they received 10 pouches of gold.

Hypocrites have a foul conception of freedom. What they seek is that there will be no religion, no worship, and they will communicate with the irreligious and do snobbery to their hearts' content. They will abide by no leader; they will know no obedience or respect. Hypocrites despise all these.

What hypocrites like is being lumpen and snobbish. They like making insinuations, vileness and pettiness, making a scene, gossiping, and tale bearing. Their souls delight in evilness.

In some occasions, a person with hypocritical tendencies might mend his ways; hypocrisy does not get a hold in him. Lucky are those who mend their hypocritical ways. But those who do not will perish.

One shouldn't say to someone who mended his ways, his intentions, "You are a hypocrite; you have always been a hypocrite." If he shed himself of his hypocrisy, then we should take their final disposition as basis. It is a good thing, you should be happy about him. If you are going to talk about the past, what kind of person were you? You were not aware of religion or faith either; God put you on the true path. When a person mends his ways, he is accepted. If God accepts him, then you have no other choice.

We must get ourselves acquainted with satan, we must try to understand the ways of the hypocrites and the irreligious. We must try to learn the ways they can harm the Muslims. In the 104th verse of the Surah an-Nisa, God commands this to Muslims as a form of worship.

We have to research, analyze the ways of the hypocrites and the disbelievers. Why did they become so, how can it be remedied, what can be done about this, how can we persuade them, and in what way should we talk to them? What are their mistakes? What are their malicious plans for the Muslims? In what way can they do harm? What plots can they hatch, what traps can they set up? God informs us in the 104th verse of the Surah an-Nisa that it is a vital form of worship and a religious duty for Muslims to analyze these.

In the Qur'an God wants us to be aware of those against Muslims. Analyzing the irreligious and hypocrites and warning them is a duty upon believers.

The irreligious do not promote freedom. Islam promotes freedom. People had no liberties in the era of the Pharaoh and Nimrod, but they were fully at liberty in the time of the Messenger of God (pbuh). Both Jews and Christians were at liberty. Furthermore, they were treated with love, compassion and utmost care. They were under protection in every respect. However, the Pharaoh tyrannized over his people.

Hypocrites are sinister beings. They promise to give up on their evil ways, but they don't. They are like germs in Muslim communities.

Hypocrites were very much jealous of our Prophet’s beauty. What the opponents of our Prophet (saas) envied most in him was his joy and his beautiful love for women.

God teaches us that the schemes of the hypocrites must be done away with. While plots of the hypocrites are cleared away, the hypocrite is saved if he accepts purification. Otherwise, he drains away along with the filth.

People love sincere, wise people who have a deep faith in God and they don't like those who try to show off with their knowledge. Idolaters think that God’s messengers must be well educated, etc. But the important thing is the insight and wisdom given by God. No prophet ever graduated from a university, but they were all very sincere. God rewards sincere faith incredibly. Meaningless knowledge is worthless in the Sight of God; it is faith that makes knowledge meaningful. God will not ask people about the languages they spoke.

As long as a person says "There is no god but Allah Muhammad is His Messenger", you cannot exclude him from the guardianship system. You cannot say things such as "Begone; go away to the disbelievers." Saying so is unlawful. On one hand you are trying to win people over to the cause of Islam, but on the other hand, you are trying to expel people from it. If you are going to expel people, then why are you trying to win disbelievers over?

Hypocrites and idolaters foolishly believe that they can extinguish the light of God. God will never allow that and will perfect His light.

The Mahdi will end idolatry completely and will teach people that God has the sole power.

Hypocrites believe that in time, the order God has established will collapse. So they deem Muslims weak. Just as Muslims believe that Islam will prevail, hypocrites believe that the disbelievers will prevail. They believe that the party of satan will prevail. For that reason, they never trust in Muslims and Islam.

Hypocrites find an honest, Muslim way of life to be boring and abnormal. They love to lead troublesome, dangerous lives. Therefore, they always seek friendship and fondness among the disbelievers. They always curry favor with disbelievers. Knowing one day the hypocrites will join them, they secretly lay the way open by ingratiating themselves into the disbeliever's favor.

Hypocrites prefer a filthy life to a clean one. For example, avoiding taking daily showers, smoking weed, committing vile and immoral deeds, hanging around in cesspools, having close relations with disbelievers and experiencing such foulness is what hypocrites always have in mind. And they wish to be superior, and run the world without lifting a finger; that is their egocentricity and arrogance. They seek to stay in touch with a bad lot, and undertake dangerous ventures.

Hypocrites always say they are on the side of the Messenger [of God]. But in reality, they always prepare for their lives among the disbelievers. They always have the disbelievers in their minds. They contemplate on how their lives among the disbelievers will be.

Suicide is illegal in Islam. Rape or sexual assault victims should never even consider suicide. What happened to them will never degrade them.

Hazrat Khadija was the first woman to believe in Islam religion and also was the first to learn the revelations. She was the first woman to help our Prophet (pbuh). God commends her as an example to emphasize the beautiful ethics of women.

We are obliged to aspire to the ethics of all the prophets mentioned in the Quran. For example, we should admire the Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) magnificence, sense of beauty, art and aesthetics, and aspire to be like him. Certain Muslims estrange these prophets which is a very wrong perspective.
