Hypocrites are the reason that the Islamic world is in ruins. Hypocrite is a fearsome force. People are wrong in regarding the disbelievers as the primary concern. If we assume the strength of disbelievers to be 1 out of 1000, the power of hypocrites would be 999 out of 1000. Hypocrites pose the actual threat.

The common characteristic of all the hypocrites in the era of Our Prophet (pbuh) is that they consider themselves superior to Our Prophet and have a desire to stand out beside him. Be it men or women, hypocrites always aim to be the one on the top, to be the greatest. They consider themselves to be God, may God forbid.

When hypocrites talk, they talk with malice. When they talk, they talk instigation or trouble, or bad luck, or a reason to argue, or something to mess with, or delusion, or a devilish urge. What about a believer? He always talks in a way that brings prosperity, tranquility, a way that removes instigation, a way that brings comfort to the heart.

The hypocrite never takes upon himself the Qur’anic verses about hypocrites; only a believer does that. A Muslim realizes that with terror and astonishment; he says to himself, what have I done? I have sunk deep into the signs of hypocrite, I have sunk deep into a swamp and I have to get away. He gives up completely; he ends it fundamentally in his heart because it is clear that he cannot live with it: Besides he had already seen how filthy it was.

Hypocrites temporarily take shelter. They are like a tuberculosis microbe; sometimes they are repressed, but they attack you when the body is weak.

Sometimes a hypocrite takes shelter; you have to be very careful with that. He temporarily hides himself. He will have sudden attacks. That is, when he sees Muslims weak, he stands guard, and becomes violent, starts snarling. He yells, acts dishonorably, snitches on people, creates trouble, and behaves disgracefully.

If a person continues to be a hypocrite even though he acknowledges the signs of hypocrisy [from the Qur’an], then he is a hypocrite himself. However, if he is making changes in himself, then this means he is sick, and he is just trying to recover from his disease. There are those who have disease in their hearts; they do look like hypocrites. If they are being reasonable, if they acknowledge the verse, then they will renounce it.

The hypocrite has no option but to look like a Muslim, so that no one would perceive him or understand him. While employing this strategy, he suffers as he realizes that he is serving Islam in some way. The supreme God states that in a Qur’anic verse, and says, “They bite their fingers.”

Hypocrites have devilish loyalty to one another. There is an understanding between unbelievers and hypocrites but when their own interests are at stake, they of course tear one another apart like wild animals. That is why the hypocrite is also wary of unbelievers.

The hypocrite has a great level of general culture. That is why he falls prey to feelings of grandeur. That is why he looks down on Muslims and has this urge to occupy an important position in the world. God says that, “Certainly [they] have nothing in their breasts except for pride which they will never be able to vindicate…” (Surah Ghafir, 56)

The hypocrite waits among Muslims for the right moment to attack them. At the moment of attack he wants to appear as a leader with all his filth and vulgarity and devilish characteristics. In other words, he is a human form of the devil.

The hypocrite will leak information to unbelievers because he foolishly thinks that will damage Muslims. That is what satisfies his devilish spirit. In the same way that the vampire calms down by sucking blood, so the hypocrite finds consolation in immorality and filth. But he is like a bat who cannot see the scientist watching him as he flies around; he foolishly imagines he can wrap Muslims round his little finger.

If no one ever objected to us as we preached the religion, if everyone accepted everything we said, supported us, praised us, what do you think would happen in the Hereafter? The reward would be much less. But if there is objection, if you are working and making an effort despite that objection, the reward will be immense. God creates resistance, a lot of resistance, only so that Muslims will be more greatly rewarded . It is a gift of God to Muslims.

The Companions of our Prophet (saas) always strove for the sake of God. But the hypocrites always had excuses like ‘our houses are exposed' or ‘we would have come if we knew how’. However, if they were told that they would be given gold, they would have immediately obliged. That is because it would have served their interests. However, one's interests should always be in showing good morality; one should choose faith and reward from God instead of gold. Otherwise one would start to turn into an animal.

Believers find excitement in the eagerness to carry out jihad, that is to say, struggling intellectually for the sake of Islam. If the hearts of people are plagued by laziness and carelessness, they grow weary and negligent. They withdraw into themselves as they do not concern themselves with religion, fear of God, or love of God. They do not feel any excitement that will reflect on their faces.

A Heaven resided in by robots is not an environment God likes, God doesn't want robots. One who hasn't proven his loyalty, his patience or his courage wouldn't have a feeling of self-worth in that sense. That means he couldn't regard himself as worthy and beautiful if he didn't make sacrifices, if he didn't act generously, if he didn't strive on the path of God, if he didn't do anything to show his love.

God regards martyrdom as the highest form of love. That is what God likes the most. But of course the most acceptable martyrdom is attained while one is actually striving on the path of God. That is because such a person goes to war openly knowing that it is possible that he will be killed and will be martyred there. Going on a struggle on the path of God, without feeling fear, is what is most acceptable.

What is meant by jihad in the verses of the Qur'an is struggling; an intellectual struggle, an effort, all sorts of activities. People tend to take it as if it means "hanging people and chopping them up." The fact is however, jihad is the name of the effort put on the path of God.

May God reward with Heaven all our brothers and sisters that work for God’s good pleasure.

It is difficult to give a struggle against hypocrites. It is difficult to give a struggle against unbelief. It is not easy to serve Islam for God. Of course one would face hardship; that hardship beautifies Muslims. The difficulties he faced is the reason why our Prophet (saas) was so beautiful.

One says, “I have lived a very happy life, I have never faced any troubles all my life.” That is not a gain. First of all he won’t go to Heaven. In the Qur’an God says; “Or did you suppose that you would enter the Garden without facing the same as those who came before you?” (Surat Al-Baqara, 214) A Muslim should strive on the path of God, face difficulties and make an effort against unbelief, against the hypocrites.

Jihad means making an effort. It is one’s struggle against one’s lower self. For instance, constant intellectual effort against the disbelief system is jihad.

Jihad: "Jahd" means striving. These people, however, understand jihad as chopping people up. Instead of chopping up that person, would it not be better if you try to persuade that person, if you persuade that person with your ideas? When you chop that person up you would be annihilating that person, he would not have the opportunity to be a Muslim! Yet if you preach religion, if you tell them about God, they would come to believe.

We are the servants of God who are in ignorance; God is the One Who is All-Knowing. We have no knowledge except what God has taught us.

The world shadow state considers Rumism as a counter-religion against Islam. They have made extensive preparations, establishing the foundations of a religion in secrecy. Since they know they cannot separate people away from Islam, they consider Rumism as a replacement for it.
