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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hatred in a hypocrite's heart never leaves. To shake the believers' trust in the Messenger, hypocrite hatches new schemes time and again.

Provoking disturbance is one prominent attribute of the hypocrites. They find ways to trouble and unsettle the believers around them continually.

Hypocrites enable the believers to be alerted and to have a profound understanding of the Qur'an. By means of the hypocrites, Muslims are always kept vigilant and watchful.

Hypocrites never talk about God and constantly seek material things. They adore unbelievers’ lifestyle and they don't wish to live like Muslims.

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.

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.

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 are significant in the history of Islam and also important to believers’ faith, because they are the main force against Muslims, not unbelievers.

Many who reveal themselves to be irreligious may be essentially secretly believing since they ponder, search and study matters. That is why we should not exclude anyone who is atheist and irreligious. We may not know it from the outside, but he may be reflecting on God and trying to understand.

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 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.

Those who lack sensibility do not know mercy, refinement, and cannot see the profound art of God. They are not aware of what people like, what bothers them.

All flowers tell us that God is the Supreme, God is the All-Mighty, that He is the ever Pure and the Most Beautiful One.
