Allah has described in great detail the moral values, behavior and
logical deficiencies of the hypocrites who come alongside Muslims and
pretend to be one of them but who do all in their power to work
against believers and Islam as soon as they take their leave from
Muslims. One of the maincharacteristics of hypocrites revealed in the
Qur'an is the way they greatly admire theirown twisted logic and low
intelligence. In the same way that, despite all his stupidity and
immorality, satan soughtto tell Allah what to do (surely Allah is
beyond that), so hypocrites adopt the stupid and degraded behavior of
trying to put ideas into the minds of Allah's messengers and
believers. So much so that they imagine they know the religion
betterthan any prophet, think of things the prophet could not and that
the prophet had a distorted perception of the religion.
Claiming, at least in theirown eyes, to have a better understanding of
the religion and to live by it better, their true aim is in fact to
turn people away from the moral values of the religion. That is why
they make Islam, of which Allah says in the Qur'an "... He has ... not
placed any constraint upon you in the religion – the religion of your
forefather Abraham" (Surat al-Hajj, 78), and which is actually the
religion best suited to human nature, rational and honest one that is
soeasy to abide by, literallyimpossible to live by through making it
difficult by adding superstitions and ideas of what is lawful and
unlawful that they make up themselves. The hypocrite first gives shape
to Islam in his own mind and seeks a religion that is oppressive and
angry, full of prohibitions and blood shedding. The religion that
hypocrites desire is one that is inimical to human beings,
cleanliness, art, culture, love, affection, joy, reason, sincerity
andprofundity. They see no religion compatible withtheir own hypocrisy
and fanaticism when they look at the Qur'an and the hadiths, which is
why they start spreadingdistortions, as Allah reveals. They portray
many things not part of the religion as if they were a component of
it, while depicting virtues at the heart of the religion, such as
sincerity, reason, conscience, cleanliness, beauty and nobility as
incompatible with it. Prohibitions on what is unlawful really annoy
hypocrites. Since they imagine that the more prohibitions there are,
the more complex and impossible to live by it will be, they prohibit
everything in their own minds. So much so, that people become
incapable of doing anything at all. They thusimagine, in their own
eyes, that people will be unwilling to live by such a religion, in
which they are literally chained down, and will thus abandon the
faith.
The position of those who elect to change the religion of Allah by
making it difficult to liveby, in their own eyes, is described as
follows in verses:
Say: 'What do you think about the things Allah has sent down to you as
provision which you have then designated as lawful and unlawful?' Say:
'Has Allah given you authority to do this or are you inventing lies
against Allah?' (Surah Yunus, 59)
Do not say about what your lying tongues describe: 'This is lawful and
this is unlawful,' inventing lies against Allah. Those who invent lies
against Allah are not successful – (Surat an-Nahl, 116)
You who believe! do not make unlawful the goodthings Allah has made
lawful for you, and do not overstep the limits. Allah does not love
people who overstep thelimits. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 87)
However, we must not forget that while the hypocrite lies and makesthe
religion impossible to live by through making lawful things unlawful,
he never abides by these self-imposed rules himself. Because the
hypocrite's conception of religion is based solely on show. He prays
and fasts under conditions in which he thinks people will see him and
gives alms very reluctantly, but when he thinks he cannot be seenhe
performs none of these religious observances. When people are looking
he appears to comply with the religion he has invented, but when he
thinks he is out of sight he obeys none of these rules. Allah cites a
conversation in the Qur'an between the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and the
hypocrites from among his people, showing how pedantic, immoral they
are, and the ugliness and stupidity of their words:
And when Moses said to his people, 'Allah commands you to sacrifice a
cow,' they said, 'What! Are you making a mockery of us?' He said, 'I
seek refuge with Allah from being one of the ignorant!' (Surat
al-Baqara, 67)
The words, "Are you making a mockery of us?" used by the hypocrites is
an important example that shows how insolent theycan be in the face of
Allah, the religion and His immaculate messenger. Hypocrites are
always disobedient, rude and act in a way not compatible with respect
toward Allah's messengers and prophets, and their speech is always
rude and priggish.
They said, 'Ask your Lord to make it clear to us what it should be
like.' He said, 'He says it should be a cow, not old or virgin, but
somewhere between thetwo. So do as you have been told.' (Surat
al-Baqara, 68)
The base and impudent language of the hypocrites can again be seen in
this verse. In speaking the name of Allah, they do not use a language
that sincerely believes in and loves Himbut refer in a way that isnot
compatible with respect to "your Lord." There is no doubt that this
stems from them being unintelligent and lacking the power of
understanding.
They said, 'Ask your Lord to make it clear to us what colour it should
be.' He said, 'He says it should be a red cow, thecolour of sorrel, a
pleasure to all who look.'
They said, 'Ask your Lord to make it clear to us what it should be
like. Cows are all much the same to us. Then, if Allah wills, we will
be guided.'(Surat al-Baqara, 69-70)
Note how hypocrites always demand ever more detail and deny that
Allah's command is easy to act on. By saying, "if Allah wills, we will
be guided" as they do this they claim to want further detail in order
tofind the true path, for god reasons. The fact is, however, that
Allah reveals their true intention in the very next verse:
He said, 'He says it should be a cow not trained to plough or irrigate
the fields – completely sound, without a blemish on it.' They said,
'Now you have brought the truth.' So they sacrificed it – butthey
almost did not do it.(Surat al-Baqara, 71)
After demanding the greatest possible detail, they still refused to
act on Allah's command. But by saying "they almost did not do it,"
Allah reveals these people's true faces and immorality. These verses
once again show how hypocrites exhibit a devilish stubbornness, are
disobedient and proud, have the impudence, in their small minds, to
dislike Allah's commands and prophet (surely they are all beyond
this), but try to give the impressions they have good intentions by
copying the way Muslims speak when it suits them.
